the heart is a lonely hunter

“

Are sacrifices the secret, sacred rites

that are gifts

offered with no thought of

return on investment,

given in the dark

when the only light is

His

and your one flaming heart?

Deuteronomy 24:17-22 New International Version (NIV)

 17 Do not deprive the foreigner or the fatherless of justice, or take the cloak of the widow as a pledge. 18 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and the LORD your God redeemed you from there. That is why I command you to do this.

 19 When you are harvesting in your field and you overlook a sheaf, do not go back to get it. Leave it for the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow, so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands. 20 When you beat the olives from your trees, do not go over the branches a second time. Leave what remains for the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow. 21 When you harvest the grapes in your vineyard, do not go over the vines again. Leave what remains for the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow. 22 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt. That is why I command you to do this.

Rank on rank the host of heaven spreads its vanguard on the way,

as the Light of Light descendeth from the realms of endless day,

that the powers of hell may vanish as the darkness clears away.

“ FLOWER in the crannied wall,
I pluck you out of the crannies,
I hold you here, root and all, in my hand,
Little flower—but if I could understand
What you are, root and all, and all in all,
I should know what God and man is. Alfred, Lord Tennyson

“ Every Christian community must realize that not only do the weak need the strong, but also that the strong cannot exist without the weak. The elimination of the weak is the death of the fellowship. Bonhoeffer
