A light is growing in this world,
Brighter than the sun.
So bright it will blind us for a time.
We will run in fear and panic,
For its light is an x ray of our souls
Where dark patches exposed,
We will bleed.
But this light is not here to burn us
Only to show us
Our sickness,
For it comes with the cure
That’s complete and whole,
Carried on the wings of Grace
And Mercy.
The light came once before
But we squinted and twisted its glare,
With glasses too shady
We distorted its truth
And dimmed it luminosity
To suite our view.
But this light is eternal
And returns once more to us
But brings with it
Others who carry the same torch
Of deep and real Love.
They are all a well spring
Connected to the heart of God
And as these words reach this page,
Others follow the path
That illuminates their souls
And builds a tsunami
Of the like, never seen before.
That will crash over
The destruction we have already wrought.
We are a shattered picture of many loose threads
In painful tangles and knots
That only Great Love can undo.
So not just one greater-than- sun is coming
There are more on their way.
Because we have hit a wall of disaster
And God says no more.
The laws are in play,
As they always have been
Where Love rules supreme, however its seemed.
Know there is more to this scene
Than we care, or anticipate.
Because death has no power
It’s just big change:
On a wave of Love,
Calling us home ALL,
Ourselves to become lights brighter than the sun.
Our God wants a future of happiness for all
He has let us play freely,
But we’ve hit a wall
And the creatures of this earth need protecting
The innocent claimed.
There is hell,
But no damnation,
Only a ladder to climb
From the darkness,
To shadow,
And then into light.
For a time,
It will feel as if this ship is sinking
And we’re all on board.
But it’s a storm –
A strong wake up call.
Not a punishment:
A consequence of ‘lack of love’ in all.
A bumpy, cold road to start with
So unfamiliar it will be
We’ll need to perservere.
Until we start to feel the warmth
A glimmer, than a shaft
Until we are immersed
In its glow: the light of the Way
Down on our knees,
“Not our way, Yours.”
This surrender is our freedom,
Our flight and our joy.
This surrender is true power
As we put down the heavy burdens
Of our sin –
To a future
As yet unknown
Til we radiate our souls
A scan of our potential,
To all we can be.
God has faith in His children
He knows who we are.
A light is growing, brighter than the sun,
It’s heat is upon us,
A burning fire of Love.
A light is coming, it’s almost here
If you listen you’ll hear its whisper
Turn into a song,
A choir of angels
Welcoming this One.
