Temporary
is not the word
for grace
but for the trials
and tests
that make me understand it.
Month: September 2013
Aren’t You the One I want to receive my heart?
There is no safer person
I can pour my heart out to
than the One who’s
poured His heart’s
greatest gift
into me.
Today is the same as Tomorrow when it comes to Your ability
Do You know how to take care of me
here, Lord?
This is not a place I thought I’d find
myself in,
so I’m a bit insecure about what might be
coming next.
But if You’ve got
this moment,
surely You’ve also “got” the one that’s
following it.
I still feel broken, but if You’ll take it as my token…
Pain sears my heart, but still…
You’re here.
You aren’t stopping the bad news from coming
my way
but with every cut it makes in my
heart’s armour
there is an incision You use to feed
my soul.
Light pours into me that I could not
live in
this darkness without.
The unsettledness…
all feels too crippling to ever let go its hold
on me.
But in all the insecurity of facing what I
can’t change,
You’re setting my focus on the
binding cords
Your love has wrapped
me in.
You are true in all my trials,
and sometimes
I need uncomfortable pressure like this
to move
me into deeper places than I would go
without it.
