Living into the Answers


With human eyes we perceive our call into existence as earthen vessels
Sailing across the ocean unscathed by human nature and human ways
Unaware of the hole in the hull that can flood our soul with the sea
And drag our ship into the mighty depths of darkness -leagues below the light of day

Like vulnerable seedlings, we trustingly peek out our heads into the world
Expecting security, protection and vital nutrients for growth
Like mighty oaks, as we mature, we stand proud offering protection to
Our fragile hearts as we learn to adapt in a vast and varied forest of humanity

As simple children we learn our way into the flesh by trusting, hoping and believing
All that we are taught by observing the example of our surroundings
As complex adults we try to learn our way out of the flesh by trusting, hoping and believing
All that we are promised by our loving Father…sight unseen

When the real truth lies in the fact that we are molded into being by the beauty of the Potter's hands.
Each one of us sculpted for a unique purpose framed by the wisdom necessary for our moment in time
Utilizing His still small voice He instructs our hearts to live our questions into their respective answers
And die to self in the process - sinking our earthen vessels as we sail into the horizon for the Glory of His name…
