From the inside out

Joel 2:12-13

Yet even now, says the Lord,

return to me with all your heart,

with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;

rend your hearts and not your clothing.

Return to the Lord, your God,

for he is gracious and merciful,

slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love

Longing for change

Not superficial

Not minor afjustments

But deep, penetrating change

Change that will last

Change that will come about

through journeying

through silence

through meditating

Change that will not be swift

but will seep in 

slowly

quietly

warming 

lightening

lasting

Changing the heart
