jesus creed: 'we have not seen him, but we love him.

to know him is to know the true & living God'

blessings on all of us as we try 

to love those around us,

those we can see & feel & touch.

and blessings on us as we try to love that which we cannot see,

that we cannot touch with our own hands or reach out to grasp

or collapse into.

blessings as you look to see God around you

blessings as you feel God's heat & breath surrounding you

blessings as you touch God as you reach out 

with a hand to help those less fortunate

and as you are held and embraced by those you allow to love you.

seek to love what God loves.

seek not just to obey

seek to believe & to act, 

letting one feed the other...

wrestling in the balance.
