Where does Jesus lead? 

 

Christ guides us into the opened hearts of those in need.

I say ‘opened’ and not open, because the tyranny of living may have 

closed off the heart, 

shut down the trust, 

and sealed the innermost thoughts of a wounded soul.

But the “gates of hell” will not prevail when the Holy Spirit breathes and connects us with downtrodden.

 Jesus warms the cold, ruptured heart; 

glimmers of hope begin to rise and Christ grants a trust where the 

‘Confessional work of the Spirit’ 

opens wide the tomb of terrors, 

and tears begin to fall, 

silence is broken, 

and words, which may have been hidden for a lifetime, begin to flow.

 

The healing balm of Christ’s presence, brings to the downcast a foretaste of healing, the anticipation of liberty from sorrows past and present.

There is a holy quiet as knitted hearts realize 

“It is God who is at work in you, both to desire and to work for His good pleasure” 

which is the liberation of another child of His.
