Sing to Me

“Just sing to Me.”

Memory rises up. From twenty years ago. 

I’m traveling in the river of motorcycles and public transport vehicles. Cars and buses. All pressed together in the rush of a mountain city’s traffic. 

Navigating the ebb and flow as I drive. Mentally engaged. But not. 

Thoughts drift far away. Heart sits heavy. 

All around me, the hum and blare of engines revving, horns blowing, peddlers calling.

Dismayed by the demand

Ever dismayed by the demand?
Narrow door.
Only one way to
 the Father.
Denying self, 
taking up the cross daily.
So much surrender
entering
the Kingdom of God.

Turn your eyes

“Turn your eyes upon Jesus.” 

The simplest act. To move my gaze. 

From the task. Pain. Problems. Ordinary ins and outs of every day.

It’s easy. No complicated checklist required.

And yet…

Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Turn your eyes upon Jesus.
