Journeying along the Way 1



Psalm 139: 23-24 Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Into the Light

You who search and know all hearts, 
Who tries by fire the works I start, 
Who pierce my soul with sword of right
And brings my darkness into light; 
Discerner of my inner thoughts, 
Revealer of the things I've sought. 
To you I bring my all. 

My judgements and the way I live, 
My sentence framed, no gift to give, 
For in your  mirrored face I see
Myself, my sin, Your mystery; 
The secret things of my own heart 
Revealed through grace are but a part 
Of all I bring to you. 

My views of other’s secret ways 
Are not for me to speak or say 
But in your love to keep with you 
A silent vigil of what's true, 
You know the secrets of my heart,
You know I love in whole or part. 
Come shine reveal your truth.

If we seek God for our own good and profit, we are not seeking God - Meister Eckhart
