Shepherd

Here is a poem I wrote several years ago.

It speaks of my deepest heart longings and how they are being met in Jesus:

Shepherd

Shepherd, Shepherd, soul’s delight,
Come lead me to your peace,
The restless voice of this world’s cares,
It never seems to cease.

Come grab my hand and lead me through
The questions in my head,
Make my heart at peace in You,
And leave the rest unsaid.

The human heart thirst for so much, for peace, for love, for justice, for security, for meaning, for significance etc, etc, etc.

Where is there a river that can satisfy all these thirsts?

Only in the heart of the Living God.

Expressed through Jesu's broken heart.

Me as a little boy.

Here I am as a little hippy dude.

Looking into the future with dreamy, quivering eyes.

I can understand a little of God's love as I look into this little boy's eyes.

I want to reach out to him and enfold him and protect him from all the pains and trials that will come upon him.

What would I have said to him?

Would he have listened?

I can understand God's love for this innocent child.....but for me......thats more difficult.

Why?

Day one,

With fear and trembling I start my first bit of blogging.

Why?

Two reasons if I'm honest.

I need a new means to express myself as my life is becoming a little two dimensional and over stressed.

and, secondly........

I have experiences and ideas that need to be blasted out into the what? The web, the world, more realistically, unto those who know me!!!!

Enjoy, and hopefully gain something!!!!
