Daughter, you are not falling so
You cannot rise.
Rise, my love.
Rise and meet what has
Pushed you down.
You rise because I
Rose.
Never to fall, never to be
Pushed.
Daughter, you are learning,
Growing, preparing to
See how I
Make you rise
As the sun,
As the moon,
As the stars, when the sky
Blackens,
You will also
Be.
Beside me,
With me,
Share, write, know
What you have seen
In the fall,
In the dark,
In the mire,
In the meaningless,
In the tears.
But shout, dance, rise
In the dawn.
See John 13:36-38; John 18:15-18; John 18:25-27; John 21:1-19
These links share just a glimpse of the story God is telling us. When you have time, read a chapter or two around the verses to get the context and see the whole picture. My preferred Bible translation is the New Living Translation, so all links will be in that version.
