The Spring of the Soul

"My Father,
All that has gone cold and lifeless in me...
Is it just Your planned stillness before new life flows?
Are the hands I've clenched in troubled prayer,
Like tight leaf-buds,
About to spread into open-handed praise,
Because Your Spirit comes again?
I believe, Father, that the joy of a new season in You
Is warming me right now..."

-David Hazard

  1. No way, were you reading my thoughts just now? I think you posted that b/c you knew I needed it. =-P The Lord is so good to orchestrate things like that, isn't He?
