A JOURNEY - IN WORDS

I CALLED HIS NAME

I looked

I called His name   again and again

I talked to others

I read

I listened

And I called His name   

Alone – and with others

I called in darkness and in stillness

I called in celebration – with noise and music

I read

I reasoned

I argued

I was angry

I was lazy

I was frustrated

I pleaded with Him

I derided Him

I refused to give in – and called His name still

I called from a small room

A crowded church

A personal retreat

I called Him through four seasons

Once He answered
