Graceful presence

 Let your words be seasoned with salt

Listen and you will be amazed

Do you not hear ?

Can you not perceive ?

Listen and I will speak to you !

Draw near and be attentive to my words

I always speak words of love to you

For you are my beloved

I am always pouring out my grace to you 

Do you not feel ?

Can you not sense my presence ?

Draw closer my child and be amazed at my love for you!

I am the God who loves to lavish my love upon you

Even my anger is poured out for your benefit

For I delight to discipline you for you are my disciple

I never pour out discipline to harm you but to draw you closer to me

Be wise and take heed of my words to you 

I am always speaking to you

For I cherish you 

You are my beloved

Amen
