I sit here in the QUIET DARK.
The QUIET DARK when all stands STILL,
or at least it appears to stand STILL
because the dark shields the light.
Everything appears to have stopped.
Sleeping is in the world.
There are no sounds.
Even the birds are asleep.
But I am awake
as I love the QUIET DARK.
And then I look at the Christmas Tree
with its Christmas LIGHTS piercing through the dark
and my dark is no longer QUIET
as it is STILL.
There are no more secrets as the LIGHT awakes the quietness of the dark
and brings a PEACE that all is well.
Oh how I wish I could package this moment.
Oh how I wish I didn't hear the ringing in my ears
as it is becoming a distraction from the QUIET DARK.
But the STILLNESS remains
as I look again at the LIGHTS.
"All is calm. All is bright."
STILLNESS fills the air.
Everyone becomes quiet as they see the LIGHT in the sky
that made the announcement that changed the world.
It didn't have to say a word
as just its piercing LIGHT was enough
to beam into the
QUIET DARK
that was a
"Silent night, holy night!"
So that all could experience
the STILLNESS that was birthed
into the chaos.
"SON of GOD love’s pure light".
The STILLNESS OF LIGHT
that never dims
as it is GOD'S invitation to
"All is calm. All is bright"
that came
wrapped in a BABY
on that SILENT night
that really wasn't that SILENT
because
GOD came to earth
to bring the STILLNESS
of
PEACE
HOPE
JOY
wrapped in
LOVE
that illuminates the darkest of dark~
"I am the LIGHT of the world. If you follow ME, you won’t have to walk in darkness,
because you will have the LIGHT that leads to life” (John 8:12).
Oh I love the STILLNESS of the LIGHT
that awakens all the
QUIET DARK spaces & places
in our hearts
when we just stop for a second
and breathe in the
miracle of
THE BIRTH of THE BABY who is the
"Light of the world, YOU stepped down into darkness
Opened my eyes, let me see
Beauty that made this heart adore YOU"*
And just because HE IS the STILLNESS that illuminates the
QUIETNESS of the dark
you and I come and adore the BABY
to break the silence~
*"HERE I AM TO WORSHIP" (listen to the song below)
