Dearly Beloved,
Grace and Peace to you.
It is easier
for a camel
to go through
the eye of a needle
than for someone
who is rich
to enter
the realm of God.
—Mark 10.25
What do I cling to
that burdens me,
that keeps me from you?
What emptiness do I fear
that you can’t fill?
What baggage do I carry
that keeps me
from loving perfectly,
giving wholly?
What would I not give away
to find you in my empty hands?
•
Get the
lead out
and the gold.
I will go
light,
burden
poor.
Spin me
fine
silk
of grace.
Draw me
thread-
bare
through
the needle
of your
eye into
the world
of your
heart.
That old
camel
will be
so much
happier
out in the
wide
desert.
Deep Blessings,
Pastor Steve
