The obscure way
11.22.05 (7:16 am) [edit]No evidence is ever enough,
though God's work is easily seen,
by those who have the faith to understand.
Perspective is everything
it both limits, and expands
understanding, both at the same time;
dictating the road traveled.
Inner experience cannot be seen
nor is it capable of sharing
except by the fruits that grows from the seed
planted there by grace.
A choice is needed to begin the journey
to make the first step to wards grace,
that grace inspired indeed.
We take one shaky step
God takes a thousand,
to lift us from the void
of unbelief, and fear.
Faith is like a flame,
kept alive by the fuel
of perseverance,
prayer, and trust.
Things get dark
the way obscure
the step before us hidden,
but secure in our faith
beyond feelings, emotions and sentiment,
stripped of our idol's,
we move deeper into the mystery,
into the God wholly other,
but within whom we live
and move
and have our being.
