Reflection on a New Year

Trail in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia

Through another day,
To another day;
Through another year,
To another year
You have brought me.
You have taught me
My limits
And reminded me
That You have none.

Father, Son,
Holy Spirit—
Your dance is a mystery,
A Communion
Too glorious
For me
To comprehend.
And so, You offer
What I can take in:

A vast Story,
Written by the Word;
Pinholes in the veil
Between earthly
And divine,
And fellow travelers
You have set free.
You pursue my heart
Relentlessly.

Almighty God,
You have carried me
To another beginning.
Thank You
For Your mercies,
Grace upon grace.
Use me each day
Till we come
Face to face.
