FullFaced
Filled to all the Fullness
What funny mystery is this
Fallen and flawed, failing and flailing
For fruit out of grasp
Feeling that don’t last
Fortune and luck are illusions
Fondling fondly futile search for closeness
Until falling at the feet of achievement
Love at its fulfillment
His favor a sweet flavor
The recipe? Dear recompense
Freedom from emptiness
Thoughts transformed, transfixed, transfigured
a full heart can only get bigger
Taught to dance by a father
Feet move with His, together
Finding the rhythm and, finally, the time
Face to Face with Grace Divine.

I’ve been struggling with my view of God and who He is and how He operates. I don’t think I am alone.
What if God is love? I know we like to say that, but what if it is really true. What if His love is so passionate and fervently pursuing that we have no way to explain it? All the horrible things we think about God—what if those are actually reflections of our own inadequacies?
All our attempts to box God up in logic, reason, or systems is so ridiculous to me when I reflect on Creation. What if He can’t be boxed in, and what if He is simply waiting for us to see how poorly constructed our silly boxes are?
Some experience his love as a sweet embrace, but others might experience it as a consuming eternal fire, but both experience His free love. He loves you so much he gave you the ability to decide. Love is free.
What if the poetic rhythm of the whirling earth’s rotation around the sun is simply an illustration of the life we live? Darkness and then light. It is here that God initiates the dance. Knowing He needed partners who could keep up, he creates man and woman in His image, with His breath. He plays the song for us with His son as soloist and begs us to sing along. He leads, but you need to follow. He promises He won’t step on your toes.
George Foreman lies on the canvas after being knocked out by Muhammad Ali during the eight round of their famous 1974 “Rumble in the Jungle” match in Zaire. The fight remains a high point in Ali’s career as most experts predicted a victory for the younger and stronger Foreman. (Tony Triolo/SI)

It doesn’t matter what you’ve done.
What is effect without its cause?
It doesn’t matter what you’ve done.
Lay your faithless head down in necessity’s cotton hands
There’s a love that never changes
No matter what you’ve done.
