This is a poem I created that is compiled entirely from excerpts from my recent journal entries (thanks Bev for the idea from your small group’s scripture-based poems). It really captures what the Lord has begun to do in my heart and I believe He will continue until completion (see Phil. 1:6).
Lord You can see my heart: fearful, prone to wander, holding onto my role, asking for my “comforts”.
I expected You to continue Lord blocking that path,
All of the sudden… enough. You are a jealous God.
You look up at me madly, passionately in love. Your love penetrates.
“I will bring you into a new place, to swim in the deep, in the way everlasting.”
Courage. I don’t want to miss You. I am surrendering, letting go of other things, fear, tendencies, my background, as well as guilt. I want wholeness!
You reveal truth.
You teach me.
You change my heart.
I set myself aside.
I am one completely captured for You Lord.
