You have risen

John 20 (NIV)
¹⁵ He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?
Who is it you are looking for?”

Yes Jesus
You have risen
from the tomb
You are not there
and I did not notice

The nails

Isaiah 49 (NIV)
¹⁶ See, I have engraved you
on the palms of my hands.

 

Oh, what pain
what permanence
~ the love
I cannot look to earthly beings
for this love
only You can give
Jesus shows the signs
of Your engraving

Fraying

Who is Jesus?

A prayer for rain

Drought and abundance

The thirsty earth yearns
for Your healing touch
Staring through anxious eyes
at the mirage on the horizon
Where are the clouds?
