How to Receive, Or Not

How to Receive, Or Not


(Acts 10)


I am Father
And I come
To where you are
Offering a gift.
You have already said
“Yes” to my Son
And you are the
Object of my Love undying.
I play no favourites
Except for the Christ
And He is in you.
Paths forever altered
Thrilling me to no end.
But will you
Say yes now?
You’ve heard of the Gift
I made sure of that.
Another measure
Of inner prompting,
Peace and power.
To bear witness.
To pray in ways
Unimagined.
To journey more
Into my truth.
A Baptism
A second one
And in it I will
Have your tongue.
The Spirit leads
Your “self” concedes
And thrilling work gets done.
An offer made
And you will bless
Me in your “yes”
…Or not.
My kids are such
A varied lot.

Excellent and well "received"!
