This Rest

Sunday’s leap and praise This rest among friends in cozy pews communing with God The greatest honor I wish all knew The love on fire Holy Spirit spire This rest with eyes and ears on word of God The word that cleanses No pressure to be perfect whilst being perfected When you love HIM you WANT to please HIM Practice makes perfect this rest Each day restfully obey Lean into HIS holy arms Lay on his lap The blood of Christ afforded that The curtain was ripped Its thickness cut The entrance couldn’t be entered by man only one man per year went past Sometimes it was curtains for the priest Now all who accept Christ have peace to rest in HIS grace Happy Sunday!

Felt wonderful and so inspiring to read your phrases, indeed. Though I don't attend a physical church on Sundays anymore...God has never left me and still resides in my heart every day. I enjoyed this free verse work immensely. Thank you! luv~
