To Find the Renewal of Morn
Virginia Salter

fresh
from the shower
cleansed
smooth, silky
newly scented
clad
in pressed wear
crisp, clean

superficial
at best~
for the day
shall bring the test.
did I take time
to ask
for inner cleansing
for inner renewal

now,
I shall pause,
reflecting on my need
for His precious promise,
His precious blood,
its purification
only He
can provide.

then,
having been blessed,
to wait,
as if in the upper room,
for His Spirit
to fill me anew.
that I may
go forth
in Him,
in His Holy will,
in His Holy service,
freed
by His wondrous truth,
His perfect power,
His awesome love.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

VAS,

This is an inner cleansing that at times seems so very hard to wait for
but as in the upper room where the small crowd waited and so are we
to also wait patiently upon the Lord..... He certainly is worth the wait.

VAS; As I read your lovely poem, I was reminded of the passage of scripture which says, "Man looketh on the outward appearance, but God looketh upon the heart." We can fancy up the outward appearance, but God does see the inner man. He knows our heart, our attitudes, our thoughts. How good it is to confess sin and know the cleansing power of His blood. To be cleansed of sin is to really start the day right. This poem touched my heart. Wanda
