Growing up I thought I was too good or bad or too something to write poems… I started to embrace it when I had a heart full of jumbled depths in college and out spewed all sorts of things that once lay hidden. Since then my writing comes in seasons and to be honest it’s been awhile since anything new has come…But as I lay in bed pondering all He was teaching me with the ball and chain, I asked for something more and these are the words He started to birth within me…I fumbled around in the dark to find a piece of paper and a pencil and started to write what I could not see…These were His words in response as best as I can remember…
“I write in ink that is not seen
on hearts and lives of things forseen
So in my grace you come to rest
in all I’ve planned from my own best
You lay to sleep and wake up younger
For in your dreams I’ll give you hunger
To live a life thats wholly holy
with eyes to see from high and lowly
Stay my son in my embrace
and I’ll teach you love by my good grace”
Amen Lord, let it be so…
I love the fact that you woo me God…I love the fact that you’ve given me the grace to finally see and start to accept that you’ve been wooing me all along…let me embrace it….let me embrace you! Lord, I want to yearn for you! I want to burn with passion over you, and only you. May I seek your heart with all my being so that you will fill me with your being with a river of delight overflowing to all who are near…and far! Be glorified my Papa 🙂
