These are heavenly days
Not because the sun shines
But because His unconditional love covers us
Not because of the pleasant breeze
But because His ways are refreshing truth
Not because of the crisp air
But because of His forgiveness that brings relief
Not because of the bird’s songs
But because we worship Him
Not because of what is today
But because He is in the day
Oh these are heavenly days
Captivating our hearts for Him
Our hearts know
The condition
Of our soul
As God has written
His Law on them
Years ago
Far from purity
Separated from Him
By this great chasm
Called Sin
Shame exudes
As our natural defenses
Want to cover
What is genuine
The state of our being
Desiring to exalt
Self not Him
As we move
Through our day
We subtly demand
To be honored
Like one who is sterling
The only One worthy
Is Him
Capable of a love
Profound
If we accept who we are
We can welcome
His gift
Unbound
A covering
For our Sin
Who is called Jesus Christ
Redeeming
Who we are
Guilty
Worthy of demise
Exhilarating our hearts
Free we are
His covering
Withstood
Rejoicing
For He works all things
For good
I have seeds
Planted
In the soil of my heart
Seeds that sprout
Mighty trees
With roots that
Soak in
The Stream of Life
Then there are seeds
When fostered
Create pesky weeds
Causing havoc
Carrying concealed agendas
The trees can overcome
The undergrowth of weeds
By allowing the Light in
How do I ascertain
Which seed I feed?
With my ear
Closely planted
To the One
He will guide
If my heart is willing
Aware of Him
Piecing together
His revelations one by one
Sin creeps in
Subtly
Not aware of
The pivotal point
My mind consumed
With what ifs
What can be
Relationships
My grievance
How unaware
I can be
Of my thoughts
The burden
Heavy laden
Weighting
My soul
Just greet my thoughts
Then give to Him
Trust Him
Caring for my soul
Worship
In mind
In strength
In everything
Coming
Close to Him
My mind filtered
For Him
Tears roll forth
Splashing the page
As I realize
How my soul fills
Deep within
With Him
His gift
As I write
His words
Composed
Sprouting within
There is an ache
In the core of our being
It feels just out of reach
On the tip of our tongue
We desperately try to fill
With things that satisfy
Our physical being
Senses overloading
A cuisine
Tantalizing to the tongue
A gaze
Alluring to the heart
A stroke
Sensuous to the touch
A melody
Seizing the emotions
An aroma
Savoring the memories
Reaching depths
But not fully satisfying
The ache still attending
The call of the innermost being
Is the call of God
A love unconditional
Faithful and true
A love
Unheard of on this earth
Besides the One
Called Jesus Christ
The ache will long
Till we reach heaven
Endure its sensation
By abiding in Him
In the stillness
Of the morning
I contemplate God
Meditating on His
Character traits
Love
Compassionate
Immutable
Sovereign
Powerful
Timeless
Transcendent of everything
With my God as such
Why then
Do I depend
On thyself?
Orchestrating life
Searching for pleasures
For my peace
Today
In this moment
How do I molt
To depend
Solely
On Him?
Understand my failings
Aware of my independence
Bow humbly at His feet
Accept it’s a process
Moving forward
Growing from awareness
Evolving in spirituality
Imbibe Him
Abide in the One
How well do I pour into others?
I question myself
As my thoughts encamp
Around the complaining
Of where God has me
The focus on self
Consuming my mind
As a fire does
Ravaging my mind
A prideful stand
What about me?
How do those thoughts
Represent God?
Shrouding what God has
In front of me
My mind so occupied
It is blind
Faith
Is leaving those thoughts
Unattended
To tend to Him
Him consuming
My mind
Believing His love
Present in my situation
Growth budding
As He takes me
One step closer
To Him
How do we strip away
The desires of our heart
To implement
The desires of purely Him
An armored bond
Adheres to my appetite
Emotions holding steadfast
Set on fulfilling it’s own destiny
My will stronger
Than my emotion
Though a robust weakness
Bequeathed in my flesh
But there is escape
Freedom is given
To those whose faith and trust
Are in Christ
Breaking long held bonds
Chained to selfish cravings
Focus on relationship
With Him
Not resolving a solution
For self
For in Christ
He rescues us
From our ways
The Holy Spirit
Within
Guiding our
Hearts
Releasing our desires
To follow Him
If we are listening
Fill your head
With refreshment
Allow it to rise
Like a hot air balloon ride
Incense of prayers succumb
Exalting the One
Worshiping for a time
Regarding He is sublime
Wafting in the wind
As He underpins
Trivial matters
Just scatter
Allowing freedom
From life’s demons
The objective
Holding His perspective
As hearts rise
Like a hot air balloon ride
