What I see is a heart that seeks for so much love and
attention
What I hear are words that summon such love behind a veiled
face
Beloved I want to reach you
I want to transform you
I want to heal you
Yet you hide from me
And only show me your downcast eyes
You will not look up
Into the heavens
For fear of exposure
This is where you err
This is where you stray
This is where you meet me
But not the way I planned for you
The deceiver steals your thoughts
Before they are even manifested
He lures you into thinking about your greatness
Just to cast you aside later
Without a repentant heart
You will burn in the desert of the forbidden
You will seek fresh rain with parched lips
And receive nothing
I urge you beloved
Stop
Turn to me
Seek my face with all of my heart
While there is still time
No shame
Just grace
Don’t hide beloved
Don’t hide
I need you to stand with me
Not against me
I am for you
And I know the source of your pain
I know your loss
Your wounds
Your secrets
But you must
Bring them to me
I have angels on watch
To guide you safely in my presence
At this hour
At this moment
I wait for you
Turn beloved
Turn
And seek my face
Without disgrace
I will hide you
And keep you
In the shadow of my wings…
Thanks Bonita. Yesterday was a rare day. I spent it hiding. Today I awoke ready to turn toward His love instead of holding it at arms length. Thanks for reminding me that those rare days ought not exist. They are fewer and further in between, but they exist. Someday I'll know they are extinct. Be well.
ReplyDeleteClark, Great is His mercy...great is his grace.
ReplyDeleteBask in both.
Indeed!. If not for mercy and grace I'd be a spiritual basket case.

ReplyDeleteI seek ye father,,, but find ye, none
ReplyDeleteAll day long I seek against the hot sun
The dark ones lurk close
To the doors to my heart
They only ploy to rip me apart
6 feet under to the grave they say
ReplyDelete6 feet under is where I shall lay
6 feet under is where I may stay if my beloved I ever again betray
