WALKING WITH ME

I may not always see
the spirits of those
walking with me,
but I hear them
encouraging me to serve,
and to be of service to others.

I may not see them,
but I hear them
encouraging me to always
do what is right,
to be there for others,
to share my gifts,
and do what I can
to lighten someone’s load

I hear the voice
that says I am here and
in the hardest of times says
we will get through this together.
The voice that
reminds me none of us is alone
in the storm.
The voice that reminds me
to be the guide for others
as I am being guided.

The voice that says
no need to worry because
I am walking with you

Knowing God

If you want to know God,
then serve God.
I think that is what I read.
So how do you serve God?

What if we started by
seeing and serving the God
in others.
What if we begin by seeing
everyone we meet as God?

If I see the Divine in you,
then I see qualities in you
I could not see before.
I get to know you and in doing so
I see the Divine in you and get to know
new things about God

When we open our table
to the excluded,
we come to see how God shows up
and shows out
in the widest diversity of
humanity.

Do you want to know God?
Take the time to know others,
build relationships,
and see how God works in them and
through them.
By knowing others,
you will come to a deeper understanding of God
