God Speaks

God spoke the world 

into existence

God speaks 

and His Word 

is effective

it will not 

return void

God speaks through 

His Word

the Scriptures

His Word 

is alive 

and active

sharper than any 

double-edged sword

God speaks through 

The Holy Spirit 

resident 

in the Scriptures

God speaks through 

The Holy Spirit 

Who resides 

in His 

beloved children

The Spirit 

in the Scriptures 

and the Spirit 

in His beloved

echo 

and resonant 

with one another

God speaks directly 

into our hearts

He desires to speak 

into our spirit 

His Spirit into our spirit

Good measure

pressed down

shaken together 

to overflowing

Into our soul

our conscious

thoughts

emotions 

and volition

Good measure

pressed down

shaken together 

to overflowing

Into our body

our behaviors 

and actions

Good measure

pressed down

shaken together 

to overflowing

In this world 

He has placed 

us

to be 

His hands 

and feet

God speaks into this world 

through 

His beloved

As we live our lives onto God

we become 

His 

Visible Voice

in how 

we view 

the world

In our attitudes 

and our values

In how we think 

and conduct ourselves 

here on earth

In how much 

we love ourselves 

and love others 

as ourselves

God continually speaks

His Word 

was in the beginning

at creation

His Word 

is active now 

in our lives 

and in 

this world

He speaks 

when this world we know

ends

When we will see Him

face to face

He will say to us

Well done

my beloved

Come and rest 

in My presence

He will reveal 

Himself to us 

so that we might 

fully know Him

Even as we are 

being known 

by Him

fully
