A pinpoint of light
Constant
at first commonplace
now glimmering among the celestial
Few would take note or regard
but not I
for I knew
not of this universe, but beyond
heavenly radiance
essence of God
poured into
one
pinpoint
of light
To sail above sky
above clouds
to dart above midnight blue
behold the blaze of heaven
hunger, yearning, adoration
a wish
it beckons
calls my name
knows my name
endless passage, timeless journey
darkness and light
tempest and hush
miracle and mundane
all that I own
all that I am
all forsaken
to glimpse what lies under
that pinpoint of light
ahead, just ahead
narrow the way
not to the left
no regard to the right
eyes on the prize
burning morning and night
though the journey be arduous
the path be severe
the trials be toilsome, heavy
be obstructed and dimmed
by cloud, haze, or mist
still
I will follow
I
will
follow
no concealing its luster
no entombing ageless glow
it just leads and I follow
I
follow
some call me a wise man
some call me a fool
to relinquish my all
to disavow, yield,
to abandon what’s gained
to gain
what is real
But I’ve striven
and followed
and bowed at the birth
the star
no longer distant
draws near
It led to our King
foreshadowed our hope
blazed into our future, healed our bleak past
alpha, omega
King of kings, Lord of lords
eternity into time
Immanuel
finds a home
in the humble
in a stable
in my heart

Beautiful Craig! Hope you have blessed Christmas!
thank you Katie, I hope you have a blessed Christmas too, mine – well you’ve been reading – mine will be humble, humbled, quiet, pensive, alone but not alone, like those houses that are decorated with only blue lights – different – special in their own way – still blessed though, always blessed.
So beautiful! Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas!!! :O)
Diane, thank you, I read your blog by the way, I’m not much of a bookie, but I think I may just enjoy reading your retelling of the books, thank you for your kind words, Merry Christmas to you too. ツ
Thinking of you today! Praying.
Thank you Katie. nice to be prayed for, God bless.
And may the peace of Christmas be with you! I liked your post.
thank you, I’m not a poet – I don’t write many poems – but on special occasions…
and may the piece of Christmas be with you and your family – and your new church – yes I read ツ
Wow! Just, Wow!
I’m not a poet Michelle, they really take too much out of me – maybe just Christmas – and Easter. But thank you, thank you. God bless.
This is nice.
I’m just now reading it today because sometimes your blogs don’t show up in my email. Sometimes I look for them in my junk email (inconceivable, right?) but they aren’t there either. I don’t know what happens, but sometimes, when I have time, after I’ve read the one that arrives, I search for ones I missed.
I do make it a habit to read the one that arrives first (Deep into Scripture) and then I go to Deep into Love, which is where I am now. obviously. 🙂
I like reading you Craig…I love how God inspires your thoughts, especially when your thoughts, inspired by Him, speaks to me.
Thanks for writing.
Victoria, all that effort – I really appreciate that. Someone who writes hearts nothing more than being read – except maybe to be paid for their writing – and THEN have it be read ツanyway – all that you do to read my words – and the fact that you read my words – and that they might be of some use to you – that makes me smile. Thank you Victoria. God bless you.
