Grappling With Divinity

When met with faith
and persistence
that which feels
like struggle
and heartache
rattling me apart
from the inside
turns out to be
the Holy Spirit
performing God’s
work in me
loosing the chains
that bind me
to all that which is not God
~Robert Van Valkenburgh

Reflection:
Where might God be using your present struggles to free you from attachments that keep you from Him?

Scripture:
“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” — 2 Corinthians 3:17
