There is a place more real than the offering of complete devotion; for devotion is in pieces - giving as moment by moment thoughts surrender.
This Place appears as a dream, with only its own words and actions required to respond and act. It's not filled with mumbling and distractions, no, only its story. Each moment belongs to finish the picture.
Drawing me to this Place is a call so direct, so focused, I can fix my eyes upon it and still receive all my life's fulfillment. Not missing a note within my song.
Love, His love, is this Place. A dream with no wasted thoughts or moments. Retold over and over and in newness of its unfolding picture.
Love solid, Holy, like a dream without distractions.
Dancing with my heart, my words, my song, and my love, before my God…
But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who
LOVE YOUR NAME may rejoice in you. Psalms 5:11

How Do I See God
My Lord, I am sitting here under the heavy of Your love and I
hardly know how to handle such greatness.
Like a child
with delicious in her hand…I feast in its taste. For I am here
because You have called me to the table and I am confident You want me to
stay.
To be at a
place of rest is the vacation of a life-time. A wonder within the soul, I will
talk of its beauty forever and ever.
How much is in
store, my heart cries. For on this mountain top, I can only think I
have arrived. It is the satisfaction above all other wonders I have
experienced. Yet, something inside assures me there is
more.
I marvel; I
stumble at this Room so full of warming passion. I have baskets to
fill, spaces to stuff as much as I can accommodate; for my return to the mind
can be so disappointing. I am set on having more than enough;
extreme is what I find, so I hope for abundance that will spill from my
gathering upon those I will return to.
Oh, the spin of
emotions…as all I was made to experience is tickled with excitement. Every
emotion You gave has been given a delight, a part of Your love to carry its
assignments to season my walk.
Falling with
the angels in a posture of awe, knowing this burning inside is the filling of
unspeakable passion like the sun that brightens our path. Teaching and
directing far deeper than the mind knows to understand.
As this feast
is consumed, I run with perfect love that causes Your Image to form; and places
the Light to reject all darkness. Salt flavors the earth and You put
within a Salt that fills us with Your glory. Making my story a tasty
bite of delicious…Your work in its beautiful unfolding. Taking my
fall and creating a dance, taking my stumbles and creating a color that blends
Your love into a picture of wonder.
Sipping on this
cup of meekness, I see upward and not down upon others. As Jesus
walked in meekness, He is the example to follow. For He has taken my
failure and assured me His blood sacrifice was capable of covering the whole
world in whom He loved.
True love…this
place of filling up and seeing what You have done. True and perfect
love…a witness of my life and how You have taken up my cause, my existence as
Your work. Proving love that has this ‘making a show among the darkness’ Your
overcome and worthiness. Openly for eternal beauty… giving
revelation of wisdom on grace and mercy that follows Your owned ones. Shaking
me into knowledge of soberness, fruit that sees Your Face!
For how do I see God?
I live for Your
Presence and long for its Substance to soak within my pores, my whole being.
Allowing the depth of Your call be. Coming as Your call chimes out
to my heart to partake and eat up. Feast with open heart and
unafraid; taking on Your safety and not my own created walls.
Standing in the
ring but all fights choreographed as Your love instructs my moves. Standing
in Your love's embrace and eating of the greatness of who You are, I see.
I choose the
more excellent way, Your Way; as I sit under the
heavy of Your love and sing Hallelujah!

Climbing To Reach God
It often feels like a climb, to reach God emotions… those moments where
you feel God so large within, you feel as if it is your own.
Emotions are an expression of what is going
on inside and can be so loud, it scares us back into a false state of mind or deception
of safety. And then, to break down this wall we put up so fast, can be
exhausting and met with confusing screams to keep this door closed.
Courage is
the mountain now. Courage to open up is the ‘climb’, and the impossible, as we
look up to imagine how far we would have to go. And depending on how many hands
are cupped to help lift, we can find our climb ‘seems’ beyond the clouds.
The
answer is the adventure. We are looking for the top, but He is looking for the
climb in us.
God emotions… the sweet climb of adventure as we open up and seek
Him!
