There is a warmth we crave
When first we wake and rise
on cold mornings,
And we begin to layer up,
socks or slippers for the feet,
and a robe or a wrap for our arms,
Until we find the just right
feel.
There always comes a point,
Though, when it gets too
warm,
no matter what,
And we must peel back,
so off go the beanies and gloves,
and the scarves and mufflers too,
Craving what cold does steal.
There is a warmth we can
have
That will stay with us always
no matter the weather,
Requiring no layering or
peeling;
the touch of God's loving hands,
in and on and through our lives,
Filling us with joy to forever
feel.
1 John 4:7-8 |
