Poems From God: Being Corrected

Being Corrected

This poem seems so appropriate today with so many criticizing for things they think are wrong. We resist correction, yet it can be the greatest blessing, when I learn I was wrong. We should thank those who teach us what we don't know.

Being Corrected
Thank you for ripping out my heart.
Leaving it bleeding cut to ribbons.
Thank you for teaching
how little I know.
Thank you for showing
what I was too blind to see.

As a Presbyterian elder (PCUSA) married to a Catholic, my perspective starts from a background grounded in scripture. It values intellectual understanding. Into that deep watering of the Word, has come hearing God. This Blog, is focused on both hearing God, & "deep" theological studies as we seek to understand the paradoxes of truth. Each path is infinite; never will I fully understand theology, or clearly hear God & be fully intimate with the infinite. Both journeys are important. Like walking a log, you can fall off either side. Part of this blessed journey, is going to both Catholic & Presbyterian churches, (when we married, we agreed to both go to both churches). A liturgical Catholic church, often is a place I clearly hear God, since it gives space to listen. Some services can lack space to, "be still and know I am God". Although, one of my strangest encounters with God was at communion in a Presbytery meeting. A communion plate passed. I heard: "Turn aside and follow Me. See Me in the homeless man..." I tried to write down what I heard, & take communion. God has a sense of humor. Join me hearing poems from God. I just take dictation. Be still and listen.
