He speaks through friends and poems

If you read my entry posted earlier today, you will see how uncanny this is. My dear Friend and other spritual energy and support was up in the early hours of the morning too and she was writting. Janis woke with a poem on her heart, got up, typed it out and brought it to me. Janis, I hope you do not mind but it is too beautiful not to share and He spoke clearly to you about me.

Be still and know that I am God

That's what the Bible says

And yet what time do we have

We work, we play, we plan

We rush around as if our lives

Are measured by our deeds

And that success is not complete

Until at all we succeed

When will we tryly realize

Our lives are measured by our step

The steps to God not other things

Is what will make success

We do not have the time we say

To be still and know He's God

And yet so many other things

Can take that time away

He wakes us in the nighttime

He speaks through a friend

And yet we rush, we plan, conceive

Our lives no thought of Him

Be still and know that I am God

That's what the Bible says

So now's our time to listen

To what He's saying deep within

Those wounds so deep they fester

Those hurts we hold on to

He wants to cleanse, He wants to dress

Put salve and heal anew

"Don't touch!" we cry as children

"It hurts - leave it alone"

His patience is amazing

As He loves us through the pain

He does not want our hearts to rot

But to be new again

Be still and know that I am God

Lord help me now I pray

For it is you I truly want

To lead me through this day

I cannot make it all alone

But as I walk with you

I know you will bring others

To help me make it through

Be still and know that I am God

That is the way to start

To tryly stop and listen

To heal my broken heart

So bring your salve for healing

Bring oinment for my soul

Open eyes to see you

As you cleanse me deep within

The pain that I have suffered

Will lead me to the path

That you have always seen for me

A healing that will last

Be still and know that I am God

That what I choose today

For you are all I truly need

All else will fade away
