It’s twilight

Lightning bugs are the sentinels of the night

Crickets and frogs set the mood with unmistakeable familiarity

The moon has not arrived yet, but the sun is long gone

I could try to sleep, but the scene is too exhilarating

So I sit here, soaking in the inspiration

Certain that brilliance will soon overtake me.

Holy Spirit’s Response

I serve a God who cares about the details of my life

Who loves me enough to give me moments that inspire me

Who knows me better than I know myself

And can, therefore, choose those moments perfectly

He doesn’t shake his head and think I’m silly

He rejoices in my joy

He smiles because I appreciate His creation

And He smiles because I am His.
