Even our Lord, Jesus
who was Divine
spent time in
quiet places with
his Father.
He retreated to
hillsides and gardens,
set aside space from
the work of ministry
to simply be
With God.
How foolish then,
are we who fear
ceasing from
striving, who
worry that our
worth must lie
in the things we do?
So we do not
stop to pray,
we keep ourselves
busy. We try not
to see what's
really in our
souls.
Like those first people, we feel shame and we hide, and we hope we won't be found out.
But the Lord
waits to be
gracious to us.
