Dearly Beloved,
Grace and Peace to you.
Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, in the inner sanctuary of the house, in the most holy place, underneath the wings of the cherubim. And when the priests came out of the holy place, a cloud filled the house of the Lord, so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord. Then Solomon said, “The Lord has said that God would dwell in thick darkness.”
—1 Kings 8.6, 10-12
I am in the dark places.
Don’t panic: dark is not bad, not sad or evil,
just mystery. Unseen.
The blend of within and beyond.
Darkness is where seeds grow, dreams happen,
love is made, life begins.
It is the only place you can see the stars.
The dark places in your life,
that is where I dwell,
and from there I venture out
into brightness.
Close your eyes. I am the eye.
Dwell in silence. It is my voice.
Practice not knowing. It is my wisdom.
In darkness is my glory.
Trust the dark. I am here.
Deep Blessings,
Pastor Steve
