God looked at everything he had made, and found it very good. – Gen 1:31
in this moment
God sees everything
He created,
is creating,
and will create
(without zooming)
in this moment
God knows us
and He loves us

As they were leaving the boat, people immediately recognized him. Mk 6:54
i don’t want to know you
like sick people recognizing a healer
i don’t want to know you
like the demon recognizing the Holy One of God
i don’t want to know you
like a believer knows his creed
i want to know you
like the childhood scar on my face
i want to know you
like the fears that keep me paralyzed
i want to know you
like the friend i’ve had all my life
i will never fathom the works of the Creator
nor understand his gift of free will
all i want is to know the Incarnate God
who knocked on the door of my house
and made a home in the empty room
grant that i know Him who carries my cross
and loves me on my journey home
Rising very early before dawn, he left and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed. Mk 1:35
you could have stayed and revelled in the fame
you could have stayed and made your family happy
it would have been easy to turn rock into food
it would have been easy to fly from the parapet
it would have been easy to become ruler of the world
instead
you came to meet me in my deserted place
you came to teach me to pray
you came to be the way to our Father
you came to carry the cross and die for me
you came so that i could have abundant life
all i can do is say thank you and yes
i will pick up my cross and follow your standard
remain with me always, Lord
peeking over my shoulder
the sun envies the warmth
radiating from the room
heart to heart talks
ripples of laughter
lapping at my soul
would that all cups
be as easy to drink
to the last drop
When Jesus disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things. Mk 6:34
when i pledged you my heart
you didn’t tell me that it would be this way
you didn’t tell me that i would look into the eyes of the lost
you didn’t tell me that i would hear the silence of desperation
you didn’t tell me that i would smell the odor of the unwashed
you didn’t tell me that i would taste the bitterness of being wrongly judged
you didn’t tell me that i would feel the track of my tears
you didn’t tell me that my heart would be moved with pity
you didn’t tell me that my soul would well up with compassion
you didn’t tell me that i would love the sinner in myself
teach, my Shepherd, i’m listening
i know your voice and i will follow
