Blessed are the depleted
Spilling out, given out, given over –
For they shall be filled to overflowing.
Blessed are those who keep straining to hear
Ear to the Father’s chest, so uncertain…relax and listen –
The Sound is felt in the vibration of His breath.
Blessed are you who get low
Choose to serve, take the backseat –
The greatest reward is found in humility.
Blessed are the cliff jumpers
When the sound compels…
Wild abandon is the only posture.
Blessed are the sick and broken
Pleading, begging for restoration –
For they can know the deep transcendent closeness of His presence.
Blessed are those who dwell in the company of friends –
They know your messy, beautiful soul and love you still.
And, blessed are those who receive the invitation from the babe, born in straw and dirt –
To me in You, and You in me –
It’s all you will ever truly need.
Merry Christmas
