God's rich blessings on your endeavor!

I appreciate your thoughtful questions at the end of the poem...I believe the Spirit is counseling me to let go of my habitual attempts to "locate the words" or in other words, lean on my own understanding.

And to instead trust, that He does indeed communicate to me, and that I am able to listen and receive.

I've lived under fathoms of doubt for decades; your poem seems a gentle nudge in the direction of trust and confidence and joy in receiving.

Hi Kara, thank you so much for your response! It brings me great joy to hear of the "gentle nudge" you received from the Spirit as you read the poem. I so resonate with your attempts to lean on your own understanding...That is a daily habit of mine as well. Praying for both of us, that the Spirit would allow us to relax into the love of God and trust in His goodness and faithfulness. Blessings to you!
