| Giving | ||
 Luke 6:38 "... for the measure you give will be the measure you get back" (New Revised Standard Version) |
||
|
I want to get, to treasure, to hold fiercely my loves. I am fragile, brittle - You know, You made me - so needy, so vulnerable, so seen. Others know me as a giver planting hope here, a dream there, strength for the way. But You know me deeply, see the layers of apparent wisdom peeling and flaking, disclosing a darkly present grasping, a dying. I give You my hardest gift, the vapours of my inly emptiness. Spirit now my giving with Your full presence, in good measure the loving. Ross lives in Canberra, Australia. He is the director/administrator of Barnabas Ministries, Inc., which offers ministers of the Gospel a place to pause, refresh their perspective, and renew their acquaintance with God. |
