Easter 04.08.24

Maybe that’s the way it is with God.
I say, "Here’s my heart"
and God smiles.
And God takes it.
And despite the ragtag nature of my human-hearted faith,
whatever I can give always ends up on God’s mantel.
Whatever I can give always calls for pride and joy.

—from the poem “Here’s My Heart” by Rev. Sarah A. Speed | @sanctifiedart

PRAYER Calling God, you charged Peter to feed your sheep (Jn. 21:1-19). In the same way, I know that you have a charge for me. You nudge, encourage, and plant seeds. You never stop tending the fire of my soul. So as I move into a new season, help me discern your will for me. Help me to hear your call for this next season with clarity. I am listening. I am learning. Amen.
