A Better Way Than Wine To Unwind

Daily writing promptHow do you unwind after a demanding day?View all responses

I don’t look to wine to unwind. Wine runs out, but Christ’s new wine never runs dry. It never leaves you hanging over despair.

Talking to the living Jesus is my way to unwind. He is the stairway to an amazing, ongoing, openhearted, and intimate relationship with God. He’s the Tree of Life.

Jesus is the go to God. An open heart paves the way for a fresh start. Open your heart to the risen Jesus. Go beyond routine religion to the rejoicing of revelation that reaches the heart. Without awe that ascends to aha, escalation of revelation, and insurgence of insight, humans are trapped the triviality of carnality.

There's no hope in wine.
Hope doesn't grow
On a grape vine.
Let hope freely flow
From the true vine.
Open your heart
To Christ's new wine.

Wine can't erace
Deep tear tracks
Or replace
The tears of a clown
With lasting joy.

I ask the Holy Spirit throughout the day:
* Who do You want me to reach out to?
* What do you want me to say and do?
* Where do you want me to go?
* When do You want me to speak or to act and when do you want me still and quiet?
* Which paths do you want me to take?
See Romans 8:14.

Human beings are
Mostly unaware
Of the air
That we breathe
But it's always there
Keeping us alive.
The risen Jesus
Is my air.
I love to stay aware
Of His presence.

True Christianity
Is to be led
By God's Spirit,
Not just to sit
For a sermon
And hear it.

Get to know
The unknown God.
Let His presence
Freely flow
Within you.

Let Jesus reside
Always in your heart.
Walk side by side
And stride by stride.
