Awaken By His Love

What a Special morning after Christmas as I am awaken

with an extra satisfaction in my heart that

amazed me

and caused me to ponder its soft

and refreshing increase of affections. 

You know how mushy you feel when you received what

you wanted for Christmas or your birthday…

something that satisfies your heart in great measure

 and it carries an extra ump to it.

This is as close as I can come

to explaining my heart

as songs of worship

explored words of praise from my heart

 and stirred me awake

 out of my calm deep sleep this morning. 

Amazing yes,

always,

as I slowly become conscience

 of the morning hour nudging me of its arrival;

speaking to me as I sense the vibrating

of songs happening inside me

and the Joy it offers me of Comfort

while the waves of its Messages make melody

all through my being of the One I love

and who Loves me deeply. 

The Sounds slowly penetrate my consciousness

with its tender kisses until I respond. 

So pleasing and rich to my soul

as my spirit is lifted! 

I understand in part

that this One finds pleasure in my praise

but reluctantly I must admit

I worship at times with almost a non-connected mind.  

Like entering a store and absent mindedly begin singing

the song playing while I shopped. 

But this morning there is a beautiful awareness of connection

 as a love affair is tied

and accepted in my mind, heart and soul,

with He who walked

the same earth I now find my days numbered in,

so, so, long ago. 

A Love that gives pleasure to both I and He

and causes the little girl in me to jump out of bed

with giggles! 

 Worship to honor generated from

true feelings

towards the One who has won my affection

and such Good towards me.

One who has awaked my eyes of love

to desire a playful reunion

after the slumber of a fulfilled night’s sleep;

excited for the day as the heart of my passion

runs for the search of which fun thing to do first?

A heart so completed and full;

choices so many,

oh where do I start? 

What a wonderful play-date He is,

this One who has knocked upon the door

of my awakened heart this morning. 

A firm foundation of Love

poured upon my thoughts,

causing the voice of my inward treasures

to expose its face with the words of my song to Him. 

My countenance speaks the loudest

of its fulfilled joy. 

Nothing within me has the strength to remain silent. 

All my emotions explode

as my arms reach to accept the call of His Dance. 

Carry me

in this abundance and power of its existence! 

I must begin the process

of shedding the weight of such Love

as it leaves its tracks where my feet walk. 

My body overly filled with this Substance

spilling in order to continue moving. 

I must hold hands,

speak with a smile,

give my ears to the sounds of all the beauty around me. 

The simple becomes brilliant

 and the complicated becomes simple. 

Heaven comes to earth

and torment has passed far from me. 

My eyes begin to wonder around

to soak up all the satisfaction of this Lightness

as the weight of weariness drops its hold. 

The sounds of this day

become the background for my song to He who I love. 

And there it is… I hear His Name again

…Jesus…  

I say and hear it with a smile

as Love boils inside me with this Heat of Passion. 

Over and over and over

I listen with Passion

of this love and soak in all His Name holds

for it carries

millions and millions of stories and pleasures. 

So many experienced

and so many more to explore! 

My heart beats more excitedly

as my entire attention has been captured. 

The Passion I ran to

has encircled the room I occupy

and its silence consumes all my hearing. 

With all creation, the earth and the skies,

I join in declaring it is He who I give praise

and my own heart of devotion. 

The air that fills the atmosphere

holds His Presence with this silent Power.

My love knows only to return to this Source

that first awakened me

this Christmas day after

 and express my affections

as I walk in its Life giving

constant

availability. 

I know only to enjoy…

only to accept His Touch

to my heart

and sing back my love. 

I love His Goodness and hold it dear today.
