Sow for yourself righteousness, reap the fruit of steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is the time to seek the Lord, that He may come and rain salvation upon you (Hosea 10:12).

Not in the splendour of beauty


not in the splendour
of beauty
all around us

not in the ingenious system
within and beyond us
that keeps us alive
every day


not even in the superb
moments of fascination
or overwhelming joy

but
in the silent whisper
and the darkness of the night
in the fragile tenderness
of life on earth

and in the coming down
amongst us
seeing and resolving
our deepest needs


in the middle of brokenness
when the light
of life is revealed
in vulnerability

that is the ultimate
manifestation
of the glory
of God

when 
amazing grace 
gets poured out
in pure love
