Dear God,

Openings, tiny cracks in the heart, mind, and soul.  Openings that lead to the light shining in, the song being sung, and the love oozing into the dark places.  You open us to your everlasting light and love, O Lord.  You take the tiniest opening and do your amazing work.

Sometimes we are so closed, not even a teeny spot is open.  But then you come to us, whispering your tender words and if we show the slightest interest you penetrate the surface making way for your spirit.  There you speak to us.  You sing, you woo, and you breathe into us the breath of life.

Who would not want to be open to you?  All of us at one time or many times.  We close off for oh, so many reasons, none really good.  When you do create space, so much can happen.  So many possibilities await us.  When we find ourselves open to you and you move in to bring us warmth, joy, and hope, everything changes, everything.

Loving God,
thank you
for sacred spaces
and tiny openings.
Thank you
for your spirit
that does
great work
within us.
Thank you
for coming
to us
with your promise
of new life.

Love, Andrea
