Mind the gap.
We look at it
Measure it
Assess it
Don’t want to be swallowed by it
And yet, looking at the gap
Sucks us into it.
Mind the gap.
The distance between
What is
And what should be.
Baal-Peor
Lord of the Gap
Demands our worship
In tithes of discontentment
Resentment
And rage
But the gaps remain
Unfilled
Till One came
Laid down His life
Filled the greatest Gap of all
Gave us hope
That every valley will be exalted
Every mountain brought down
Every crooked place made straight
Every rough place made smooth
That we will see
True
Fraternity, Equality and Liberty
Established
May His kingdom come
His will be done
On earth as it is in heaven

I don’t compare my life now to my neighbor’s life now, like I used to. Now I compare it to Heaven, and I know His Kingdom will come, and it will be amazing! The LORD is so worth waiting on.

Yeah… for me the hardest thing is to get my eyes off how I want to arrange my world… Praise God for the way in which He is teaching me that He can be trusted to fill the gaps in my life, the world and the Universe! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by. Shalom!
