GOD ALREADY WALKS WITH YOU

What are you looking for?
For what do you seek?
Is it a knowing of settlement,that seems out of grasp?
Yet you have felt it,
and you will know it again when it comes.
Is it the feeling of good within
that you have got to the right way -
not through your wants, or even ego needs,
not through your lusts, but rather your passion.

Is it the rightness of your inner being
- that will not necessarily mean comfort,
- that will not necessarily make you feel like a saint,
- that will not necessarily solve anything at all?

But it is the re-imagining of your life
in the God-scape of being
that finds you where you are
and has no intention - nor positive gain -
of denying your whole journey.

God already walks with you.

God leaves nothing created alone,
nor does God deny the reality of the "alone journey."
That is God's true relationship with you;
to personally love and to personally respect your choice of journey path.
And for you to know, and to feel, the power of God's being in the truth
that unless you bring God with you
you won't find God.

May we together journey in that truth. Amen.
