Will Dwell: Grace in the Wilderness: Prayers and Poetry

                                                Will Dwell

                                                Will dwell

                                                together

                                                despite diversity

                                                walls of separation

                                                broken down

                                                together

                                                begin new lives

                                                woven in light

                                                deepened in commitment

                                                together

                                                dwell in hope

                                                worship in heartbeat

                                                bonded by grace

                                                together

                                                will dwell.

Romans 8:24, “For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one also hope for what he sees?

Together: Grace in the Wilderness: Prayers and Poetry

Jeremiah 31: 24, “And Judah and all its cities will dwell together in it, the farmer and they who go about with flocks.

Together,

Barrier removed—walls broken down—for rich and poor, young and old, families and strangers.

It is difficult enough sometimes for loving families to dwell together and here even strangers will be brought into a united restoration through Jesus’ grace.

Fractures can be mended together through God’s promises. Any separation with relationships near or distant can be restored to peace within our hearts. His power and His forgiveness open the doors for us to follow. When we learn to dwell in His word and truth we learn to live together in His family—no matter how diverse or dysfunctional we are.

No matter the brokenness that has occurred this word opens hope for a future that brings growth instead of decay, hope for release, hope for a new beginning, hope for walking in His Spirit and in fellowship.

Lord, please keep us dwelling in You within our diversity instead of allowing rejection and misunderstandings to break relationships. Show us how to be Your servants towards each other through prayers and humility.
