39. Peace

“A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also.  At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you...

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I." John 14: 19-20; 27-28

Everything we think we know

in this world

is merely a shadow--

the rough outline--

of what is real

in Yours.

Peace

Love

Joy

It's almost unfair to use the same words;

our poor words

to describe your richness.

Not as the world gives

But that's all we know

What does it mean, to see you?

What does it mean, to live?

What does it mean, to love?

Show us

and soon.

Because our poor words

we pull over us like a too-small blanket

and we're chilled and we need

more--

more truth

in your words.
