My heart has been expanded, Lord.
My heart has gained
another’s words,
from the sweet Presence
of Your life within them.
Oh, work these
life-given thoughts
into tangible places
so they live forever.
Show up in my
soul
time and time again
for a walk of plenty
for myself and others.
The gift
of finding such powerful
life events in friendships
and sisterhood,
stack up to
be heart expansions.
Today has love doubled over
and pushing for spaces
to fill
with its goodness.
Allow, oh Holy Spirit,
my world to be inviting.
See me
seeking.
Find me believing
and trusting for more.
Watch my tears form
and read
them
as a heart after God’s way,
not my own.
The surrender of misunderstanding,
heartaches, confusion,
bleeding wounds that scream
of pain;
I give permission
to heal
from a safe place of praise.
Where Your arms are mighty
and carry far
more remedies
than could ever hold us back.
Praise...
the escape of healing
for past, present, and future.
By His Blood, the Lamb
and the words of my testimony.
By the wonders
of being around His Throne
of Grace and Mercy.
By the goodness
of His disciplined life
within me.
Breathing slowly
and with intentions;
saving
each second
as memories
of being with God almighty.
Standing on this Rock,
solid.
Building upon this Rock,
solid.
Singing only from this Rock,
solid.
My
soul rises
to meet the dance
of cloudless Son-Shine.
My eyes closed
and yet
sight becomes clearer
then seeing this world only;
now, I see beyond,
and into Love’s
fabric
clothing the naked and wounded.
The four walls
that tried to trick me
into believing it was safety,
fall.
I now find freedom
and excitedly float
with its
Wind
that tosses me about
in free-style abundance.
I am saved and healed
by His
Mind...
renewed to the touching
of His Father’s connection,
rather than accepting
the
prince of this world’s
treasures offered.
I follow His steps.
I follow His trusting
through the pain.
I follow the joy.
I
follow His Words.
I follow Him!
His Name is Jesus.
