God, Most High

God says we need to trust Him

Over and over we repeatedly fail

During difficult times we waver

Celebrating faith when it is convenient

Honoring success where appropriate

Risking everything to be on top

Isn’t it enough to learn to love, learn to listen

Sometimes we just need to stop

To revel in the fact that we are loved, cherished

Just yesterday we left the womb

Excited about our future

Secure in who we are

Unexplainably we learn to forget, learn to deviate from love

So we run, we ignore, we hurdle ourselves into a

Future riddled with expectations blinded by misunderstandings 

And still we move forward because of faith

Trusting that each move

However, small is significant 

Entrenched in our humanity we negate our heart

Rendering life a tangible experience 

Yet the Father asks of us faith

Asks of us trust

How is it we turn from him that

We listen when only we need

Expectations delivered time and again, the Father

Hands us love, give us Himself

Again and again, He shows His love, keeps His promises

Bringing to us a home, a hope

But, time and again, we allow humanity to make its mark

Alter our lives via anxiety and disbelief 

Everyday He calls out our name, He shows us His face

Longing to connect with our spirit, longing to impart His wisdom

Over and over, His love, His mercy, His compassion ours to keep

He knows our heart, there He dwells

Inspired by moments we partially see, partially hear, emphatically know

Moments marked by God are moments of pure holiness

Sending we need His love, the Father offers to

Prepare our hearts

Invitations of faith sent

Realizations discovered down every path

In every interaction

Touched by His love we stop, we listen

Just when we think the silence will create insanity 

Excitement in the form of pure joy fills our being

Hope our companion as we are

Overwhelmed by the pureness of the Father’s love

Venture which began in silence now the 

Adventure of a lifetime for now we are aware, now we understand fully

His love, His hope, His compassion for our lives, for our soul

Experience is key

Loving the love of the Father

Secures our being in love, in peace

Home is not longer a place with four walls

Anxiety melts away leaving a clarity explained only by truth

Decisions no longer rest upon the mind

Decisions rendered by faith, built upon trust

Allowing us to move forward in and with the Father

In and with His Spirit that we may invest time of the heart

Everyday becomes brighter

Meaning comes to action

Making life purpose-filled with wisdom our companion

And courage our trusted partner

Understanding moves in turn with each step

Elevating our awareness, making us

Living entities of love

Able to move with affections, able to act with justice and mercy

Decisions branded by love 

Overtake our being and we, ourselves, become love

Never needing to question the Father for we see

And experience His ultimate, conditionless love

In every aspect of our lives 

Silence brought us to understand 

And now we hear, we see, we feel His presence

Vindicating love as who we are

Inspiring us to live, free from anxiety, filled with peace 

Overwhelming our live in truth, the Father calls our name

Response in action, clarity our reward

God

Christ

Jesus

Father

Yahweh

Abba

Elohim

Spirit

Jehovah

Elshaddai

Emmanuel

Adonai

Savior

One name on constant repeat, constant bombardment of love, offering insight into His reality, an invitation into who He is, into His love.  Every word His speaks, every interaction we make, every silent moment we keep, there He is in plain sight: God, Father, our truth, our love, our light, our path to an intangible reality experienced via the soul. Connect, be, become love, experience the Father each step of the way, cultivate love, place trust in Him...He is here, He is there: Abba, Adonai the direction in which we stare, He is there, He is love. God asks of us that we trust, without hesitation, fall into His loving arms.
