Moments with God: Reflections during Advent
I wrote this poem in response to John 1:1-18 as part of a spiritual exercise suggested in the devotional, "Meditations on the Birth of Jesus. A Renovaré Advent Resource for Spiritual Renewal" by Miriam Dixon and Margaret Campbell. December 1st In the Beginning You were there among them One more in the crowd They did not recognize you In fact, they turned their backs on you They walked away They left you alone But you did not leave Instead, you placed your tent in a dry land And promised to be water and bread Help me come out of that crowd Help me come to you May I ask for water and drink May I taste your bread and gain strength May I come to dwell beside you May I confess with unwavering lips, “From His fullness we have all received, grace upon grace” December 3rd John 1:1-18 Light, help me see you. Life, help me receive you. Flesh, help me be your dwelling place. December 5th I wrote
