Psalms for Praying
Nan C. Merrill
Divine Love brings peace
to the heart, peace
that is beyond our knowledge.
Divine Love cuts through
the ignorance that fosters
greed and arrogance,
humbling and breaking
open the heart.
Divine Love severs the veil that
separates realms
of the profane and sacred;
Holiness radiates through all
touched by Divine Love,
a refining Fire!
Wisdom flows from the Heart
of Divine Love
to all receptive hearts
nurtured in the Silence.
Yes, the Divine Word is written
on every heart-scroll,
a guide to pilgrims on the way.
May everyone awaken to Divine Love,
that peace and integrity
and assurance
may be born again in every land.
In a small church I attended years ago, we often sang a gathering song about the Refiner's fire. I always thought we were somewhat glib about asking God to aim that torch in our direction. Yet, it is true that fire can gently lift us as we ponder a beautiful piece of music, or a leaf on the wind. Let us be gentle with one another today.
