My heart knows, yes, my heart knows the season.
Days away from the first of Elul, Teshuvah is so close and my heart knows.
The Hebrew month of ELUL is an acronym; Ani L’Dodi V’Dodi Li-meaning in Hebrew,
I am my Beloved’s, my Beloved is mine.
Originally known only as the sixth month, derived this name during the diaspora. A Lord worth searching for, and a longing fulfilled. What could we glean…
The first letters of each word spell out ELUL, a time of return, repentance and self examination, a month to correct our course, being certain our focus and course is headed in the right direction. A time to center completely on our relationship with The Lord, commanded to love God, but deeper, a soul hunger that is cultivating a real relationship, being certain this love is returned in full surrender to One who calls us. He has chosen us. He is compassionate and long suffering and only merciful.
August’s Fall Breeze
August’s fall breeze
Soul captivating
Heralds a change
Has my heart pulsating
Seasons come and
Seasons change
His promises are true
Remain the same
Not one word
Falls to the ground
Our God is Mighty
Just look around
From the rising to the setting
Summer to fall
Our Lord Triumphant
Creator of all
