DEEPER STILL

Look up, look around. The space and sounds reveal something - a mystery.
A beauty, a dignity, seen in the cracks.
The little patches of life that so often are missed, are blissfully showing a lesson.
To learn and to grow - how beautiful it seems yet an ache can arise from the stretch.
And yet, without the ache, how do we know we are feeling?
‘Run run run!’ shout the cars and the ads but my soul is screaming back REST.
Slow, feel, don’t run from your heart, something will start when I stop.
Look, no not surface, look, deeper, yet deeper still.
Go low, grow little, be amazed, be alert.

End of twelve months. I’m tired yet sleep will not fulfil.
Embracing the paradox - alive yet at peace, awake but at rest.
Wounded yet healed. Little yet strong in Him.
Ordinary becomes extraordinary in the light of His love.
A babe, so soft and calm was born with the heart of a lion cub, ready to grow too.
God in flesh.
Humbling himself to share in our humanity so that we could share in His divinity.
The King of the universe came for me, came for you and He’s coming back once more.

Accepting these days with this in mind - every moment with Jesus a new thing to find.
So whilst my to-do list grows I know a greater thing is here.
Why be the same when you can be different?
I am not saying don’t party but do you know heaven’s joy?
I am not saying no presents but do you know the real gift that awaits you on Christmas morn?
I’m not saying don’t prepare but are we aware that real preparation starts inside?
Making myself a gift.
An invitation then - look, no not surface, look deeper, yet deeper still.
