Child, do you know Creator Yahweh? Are you aware of his presence as something…someone…totally other? He is bigger, brighter, more all-encompassing than you can imagine. We live and move and dance and become in him. He is both in me and I am in him. He’s untouchable, yet He touches every part of me.

Feel the breath of his caress on your face. Breathe in the sweet scent of him, swim in the water of him. Let his sweetness quench your thirst. Bathe in the light of him and take comfort in the shadow of his wings. Let him be your every reason for existence, your hope, your joy, your tomorrow.

When you know Creator Yahweh in this way your life will never be the same. No pit will be so deep that he is not there. No sorrow so clenching that he cannot touch. No disappointment so shattering that he cannot mend and restore. Victory is a heartbeat away.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is Psalm 118:1-13. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
