As we draw
Nearer to God
He becomes more
And we become less
Until there is no longer
Any distance
Between him and us
When time ceases to exist
And two become one
St. John 3:30
“He must increase, but I must decrease.”
James 4:8
“Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.”
There is only one God
And this is true
Therein lies the
Commonality
Of all humanity
There is only one you
St. John 10:30
“I and my Father are one.”
Are we what we eat
Or what eats us
Are we in the Spirit
Or is the Spirit in us
Do we become
What overcomes us
There is one
Greater than us
Let us be consumed
By that
We are consumers
Of the Word of God
We take in the Word
By reading the Bible
Feasting on his flesh
And drinking his blood
It is a never ending well
Of nourishment
For our soul
St. John 6:56
“He that eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, dwells in me, and I in him.”
Revelation 10:10-11
“And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and at it up…and he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many people, and nations, and tongues, and kings.”
It was the power
Of the Holy Spirit
Sent from God
To his son
That gave him
The authority
To preach
The word of God
St. Luke 4:16
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor…”
St. John 1:32
“I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode on him.”
We may turn
Away from God
But even that path
Will lead us back to him
Eventually
We may leave
Our source
But our source
Will never leave us
Psalms 16:11
“Thou will show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy…”
Art: The Holy Spirit by Waiting For the Word
The Word of God
Is sent from God
And returns to God
The one who sent it
Is the same as the
One who receives it
St. John 14:3
“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also.”
Light of awareness
Consciousness
An innate knowing
Who we are
Cannot be taught
Only revealed
By the Holy Spirit
The true light within
St. Matthew 5:14
“You are the light of the world.”
