to know your name

Knowing You is the great adventure.
 

It's a treasure that we have to seek to find within ourselves,
through the glimpses of you in our interactions with others
and our experiences directly with you.
 

Knocking on the door of all You've made us for is scary,
but the alternative is worse,
disobedience and death even while we suppose to live.

We can't see all that we're stepping into,
and perhaps that's the greatest leap of faith.
 

The leap into all the unknown of ourselves;
the questions, the doubts, the wounds,
the barriers to a deeper experience of ourselves, our neighbors, our world,
 

but most of all, You.

God, don't let us give up the legacy you're creating thru us
for the temporary acceptance afforded us by this age.

Let us press on for the greater reward of knowing you and being found in you.
