Alive: Lent Devotionals

DAY 19 OF 47

Alive: We too are shining born

I have heard a rumor –

a whisper from a distant hallelujah,

a lonely breath of light from a long-forgotten star

brushing against the remnant of our aching hearts

to tell us something beautiful, something scarcely believable:

we too are shining born, loved extravagantly

even as our soul-lights flicker

in the blast of an unkind world;

even in the midst of fading evidence still, so I hear,

a finer and more honest imagination than ours

declares us bright, worthy, and good.

About this Plan

Alive: Lent Devotionals

These Lent devotionals will take you on a journey to discover the abundant life that Jesus offers.

The kingdom of heaven – the kingdom of life and love and joy – is closer than we think. Let us grasp it with both hands.
