We’ve been taught
The Bible IS The Word of God
and that God has spoken
through the prophets and saints
What I’ve come to know,
in every ounce of my being,
is that
God speaks in countless ways
for all who are listening
to hear
and
God’s Word is pronounced in
languages for all who are listening to understand
God’s Word is
the gut feeling
the intuition
the still-small-voice-deep-inside
It’s the goosebumps and
the pit in one’s stomach
It’s the billboard that screams The Message
It’s the bright idea that comes to fruition
It’s the magnet that draws movement
It’s the clarity that evolves out of blurriness
It’s the switch that’s been flipped
It’s that which takes one’s breath away and
or that which causes one to gasp
It’s the way we carry ourselves as a Child of the Divine.
God’s Word is
the parent who teaches
and the loved one who forgives
It’s the friend who “knows everywhere we’ve been and loves us back home again”
the lover who caresses every part of the body and soul
It’s the young and old
who share their wisdom
It’s the mentor who encourages
and the therapist who speaks firmly
It’s the modern-day prophet who
gives new vision of how to be in this world but not of it
God’s Word is
all of nature that vibrates with God’s energy
The wind that caresses and transforms
The ocean that lulls and crashes
The geese that fly with fluid leadership and
the mama bear that protects
The kitten curled up on a lap
and the puppy who hugs her brother dog
The sun that rises with a new day and
the moon and stars that shine in the darkest of nights
It’s the pristine sand dollar waiting on the shore
and the one next to it to be shared
It’s the rainbow that appears
on a day full of doubts
God’s Word is
the Divine Echoes that reverberate
It’s the peace and joy,
the hope and lightheartedness
the new found courage that propels one forward
God’s Word is
our very essence
It’s all God’s speaking
The Word.
Word.
