Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Not the mind, not our reason
the essence of God, the reality of faith
seen with the heart, with our imagination
with the eyes of our spirit alone
guided by the indwelling Spirit
God enabling us, the words of the scriptures
revealed, God working within us
understanding dimly, only in part;
but enough, to change our lives
to bring us back into relationship
to stitch the breach of our sin
guiding us back to God
not with our minds, but with our hearts


July 31, 2009
inspired in part by
Alive Now Daily Reflection for July 31, 2009
“Only the Heart Knows God”, page 6 of Alive Now for July/August 2009
by James Schwarzlose, which included quote by Blaise Pascal,
“The heart has its reasons, which reason cannot comprehend.”
