Five Minute Friday: Wide

Five Minute Friday: Wide

Here’s what we do on Fridays…

After receiving Lisa-Jo’s prompt, we write for 5 minutes flat ~ no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking.
Then, we link back here, inviting others to join in.
Finally, and there are absolutely, no ifs, ands or buts about it, you need to visit the person who linked up before you & encourage them in their comments. Seriously. That is, like, the rule. And the fun. And the heart of this community.

A field of green…

An ocean, foam…

Planets, stars, galaxies…

The expanse, wide…

God, Me, Sin…

The wide separated us…

Jesus…

His wide arms unite us…

The width from east to west is how far?

He’s mad about me, wide love…

I’m made about Him, crazy love…

…so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, ~ Ephesians 3:17-18

Stefanie, you truly right poetry. So beautiful. “The width from east to west is how far?” That caught my attention…just seeing the Father’s arms covering that expanse.
