CONFIDENCE
Confidence rests in stillness
A quiet calm that knows no boundaries
Stillness in the body
Stillness in the soul, the mind
Stillness in the spirit, always before the Throne,
On earth, in the world.
Stillness that sees the Lord
A Shepherd who loves
Close by our sides
Who holds our hand,
A most practical, most simple reality,
In child-like innocent zeal
The beauty of our Lord before our eyes
His presence, His touch
His strong arm about the shoulders.
He who fills the Universe holds a small child’s hand
All youthful zeal and stumbling
Innocent steps of exuberance
Love of life blazing in the eyes of such a little one
In the eyes of a reborn child of Heaven
In the fire eyes of the Sovereign One
Who watches in finest details each step
Each thought, each act,
His blessing upon those who choose Him,
Darkness upon the others who reject His love.
The goodness of eternal knowledge
Or the blindness of an earthbound self
Delight in what is right
Or pleasure in a world grown cold,
Cold, dead forehead
Or warm tears of eternal hope.
My heart has embraced the Spirit of Truth
Heavenly peace now confirms each step
In the face of madness, a calm reply
In the face of anger, gentle, soothing words
At a time of chaos
Wisdom of a holy sword
Sharp to cut through the foolishness
To take hold of Heaven’s manna
A living faith of greater treasure than gold and silver,
My new life in His image
As a daily prize held tightly
Miraculously bound within a confident human heart and life.
