TOUCHED TO THE CORE ~

From Seasons of Your Heart (pg. 63) Copyright: Macrina Wiederkehr



“I am touched to the core


With a presence I cannot explain


A loving plan enfolds me


Someone is always believing in me


Calling me forth, calling me on.


I am standing in Grace


Filled with mystery


Touched with the eternal.


I cannot get away from goodness


I think we name you, God.


You surround me like a gentle breeze


My idols live on in my life


My inconsistent values stay


My immaturity walks beside me


My sin is ever before me


Your love for me stays the same


I tremble in the face of such graciousness


Your reverence for me astounds me


You breathe out hope


And I catch on… “

  1. This is one of my favorite Macrina poems. I especially love the line "someone is always believing in me". I think that I will meditate right now on all of the people who believe in me. I know a lot of people that believe in YOU as well. Don't you? : ) Love....
