Take my hand

In this silence I call you

In this silence you hear

The world awakens

Birds sing a melody of joy

Take my hand, I will lead you

Worry not about direction, I will guide you

Stop, soak in the morning sun

Let the melody of life gently awaken your spirit

The soul is free

Soar like the birds of the air

Flight taken

Land becoming but a tiny spec

No worries

No angst

Trust

A word looked upon with distain

Too many hurts

Advantage taken

Trust not for the weak

For trust is not of the mind

Rather it stems from the heart

Stop

Feel

Know

I am present with you

I am here for you

Take my hand and I will show you the way

And so a hand is extended, offered that we may walk with Christ, walk in peace, walk guided by the Spirit and never lose our way for the path lit by faith. Humbled by this offering, we walk with Christ, hand in hand with the understanding that we do not know, we do not have all of the answers.  Questions bring about answers for God always listens, God always hears.  Our heart's truest desires revealed in the eyes of the humble.  One bended knee we ask, on bended knee we listen for in the silence we hear.  A land divided among itself we know, a land with conflicts for power we witness and yet we long for a land of peace.  Humbly we take your hand and walk.  This world presents itself as a land of confusion yet the heart settled for it knows peace.  Peace from within, peace a byproduct of trust.  In the silence we discovered the truth of the heart and leap into the arms of God.  Hesitation the downfall of many for a pregnant pause can bring about a deluge of logical reasons to walk away, reasons to run for in this world, trust mine as well be a four letter word.  Let us hesitate not, let us take the hand of God and soar on the wings of faith.  Fear is but a state of mind; simply an irrational distrust of that which is not completely known.  The heart knows, the heart ever connected to a tender and loving God; the God who offered and olive branch to Noah, the God who escorted Daniel from the lion's den, the God who hung upon a cross for love of us.  Trust, this is not such a leap of faith the mind would have us believe.  Connected we are, connected we shall be via the heart, via the soul.  Though we have been taught to gravitate toward logical thought and provable theorems, I ask how much more proof do we need?  If we but use the gift of sight we can see that all which the sun touches is nourished by its rays.  If we but use the gift of hearing we recognize a melody of joy, for the world sings with joy as it awakens and as it readies itself for slumber.  No feel, feel love with emits from this land, just stop and feel.  The heart begins to flood for the heart is brought home, the heart rests in the presence of love, unconditional love.  A smile adorns the face for the heart is warmed from the rays of the Son.  Life complete, life understood if we but accept this offering..."take my hand."  "Trust me, take my hand, I will not lead you astray."  This statement could illicit fright but knowing God as we do, this should only illicit a comforting smile.  

I will take your hand and have no fear

Your love I know 

Your touch familiar

Though I have strayed, I ask forgiveness

I want to be brought home to you

Your love a comfort, it is my security blanket

The world harsh

The world fears you

For it wants control

Control but an illusion 

A trickery to which I have fallen prey

My eyes now read with the wisdom of the heart

They now see and comprehend as the heart understands

In this silence, God, I need you

Fear has been my path

Mistrust vested my person that I be protected

I know not of what I needed protection from

The weight of this vest caused exhaustion

My body tired and ask to take rest with you

You, my God, you

For you have offered your hand since my birth

I have accepted it throughout my years

But I have also let it go thinking I too old to hold hands

I now know these thoughts connect not to my heart

For each time I let go of your hand I felt lost

In my confusion

In my fear

I retreated to the mind for it called to me

It told me it could fix my problems

That all I needed was my own wit

My own knowledge

I stand before you humbled

For the knowledge does lie within me

On bended knee I have listened

And now I hear the knowledge of my heart

You voice, oh God, calls to me from within

I am humbled that you should choose to dwell within me

Me, who has made mistake upon mistake

But you know me

You know my flaws and yet you still offer you hand

Consumed with self no longer, I accept your hand

I walk with you, wherever you lead

I will use my mind when needed

Deductively I will reason but I will not judge

I will not conclude without consulting the heart

Without including you

No longer will my mind boast about gained knowledge

For the heart flutters in innate wisdom

Trust, Lord

I trust you

May we please walk this life together, hand in hand 

For I have seen glimpses of beauty 

Yet tarnished by the mind

Trust, the necessary ingredient to remove the tarnish

Trust...Today Reveals Upmost Sincere Transformation

My transformation as I am inspired by your love

I take your hand

Instantly I am reconnected

I rest in my home

Comforted in your love

Today I transform into your love

My fear is wiped away

The world unscathed by the mind

The beauty of the world echoes in my soul

One step I take and my heart soars

Wrap me please, tightly that I may never slip away 

Today I am transformed

Today I trust

"Take my hand" and together we soar.
