“Rejoice always.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16

Rejoicing 

(A poetic devotional)

 

Loud, exuberant praise

Shouts of celebration

Dancing and whirling and laughing out loud

Clapping and jumping in excited worship

Passionate and holy singing

 

Calm within my core

Peace pulsing through my blood and bone

Head bowed in overwhelming humility

Hands lifted, heart opened, soul bursting

Silent prayer watered with tender tears

 

“Father, in every way You are our continual celebration. Amen.”
