Dr. David Long-Higgins Blossoming God,  Open the petals  Of my often closed life  With Your irresistible light  Of goodness and grace  Revealing resurrection  Surprises at every turn. Stretch every petal of me  Too often closed to You  And Your promises  Of possibilities unknown  Except by consent  To Your motion of Love. By this of You  Reveal the beauty  You plant by seed  Into every living being  Impossible to know  In its buried beginning  Yet made visible  In a time envisioned  By Your loving desire. Yes, stretch me open  Into awe and wonder  At Your blossoming beauty  In every living being  And even in me. Let this of Your Christ-love  Pull wide the petals  Of Your whole creation  In response to Your light  Of soaking, searching love  Touching earth with eternity. And may Your hidden beauty  Rise again and again today  In the midst of ordinary turns  Made extraordinary  In the noticing,  The savoring,  And the thanksgiving  Called forth  By these amazing moments  You so readily reveal. And let it cause  Just enough  Resurrection revelry  To stop the madness  And turn the world  And me toward You.                            Amen.\nMusic: Waking Us by Quiet Lake","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/iykltkcY696E49X9RtKA2dwpLdGNeOD4AbYktXEVdOg/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzMzMDQxLzE2NTk5/NzU1ODQtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
