Middle Time
Between the exhilaration of Beginning and the satisfaction of Concluding is the middle Time
of enduring,changing, trying,
despairing, continuing, becoming.
Jesus Christ was the Man of God's Middle Time
between Creation and Accomplishment.
Through Him God said of Creation,
"Without mistake".
And of Accomplishment, "Without doubt".
And we in our Middle Times of wondering,waiting, hurrying, hesitating, regretting, revising;
We who have begun many things-
and seen but few completed;
We who are becoming more- and less;
through the evidence of God's Middle Time have a stabilizing hint
that we are not mistakes, that we are irreplaceable, that our Being is
of interest, and our doing is of purpose, that our Being and our Doing
are surrounded by AMEN.
Jesus Christ is the Completer of unfinished people
with unfinished work
in unfinished times.
May He keep us from sinking, ceasing, wasting, solidifying-
That we may be for Him
experimenters, enablers, encouragers and associates in Accomplishment.
