CAPTIVATED

"When you call on me, when you come and pray to me, I'll listen. When you come looking for me, you'll find me. Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I'll make sure you won't be disappointed." God's Decree.

Jeremiah 29:12-14

I want to discover

Still points,

To be present in those spaces

Not by duty or doing

But being.

Beyond the narrative

Of scarcity and fear,

The narrowing of a world

Governed by threat and anxiety,

I want to find

Myself, in you,

God beyond borders.

To be captivated

And unafraid,

Found and free,

Named and known,

To be shaped by you,

I want to be at home

In my life,

Here and now,

Undaunted by uncertainty

And my own not knowing;

To live and love fully,

Centred and trusting

In you, in whom grace abounds.

Chris Matthews
