Scripture: John 14:2

“God has graciously provided a place for us to serve that has fit us best. Don’t get me wrong, I long for that place to which I will one day reside (I have many loved ones already there). It is just that in the meantime, I will revel in the place God has currently called me to serve.” –John Ryser, Fruit of the Vine

Query: Are you in the place God wants you to be?

Caesura

Driving home last evening

A hot July day

With the green vines still

Abiding on the hills

And the moon rising almost

Full at my back

Two birds flew, dipping

One swooped too low

And caught my speed

And fell

The poor will always be with us

The sparrows will never stop falling

But larger hands are beneath us

Returning the fallen to flight

–Bethany Lee, The Breath Between
