Secrets in the Garden

In the Garden there were secrets
too unbearable to face.
And as deep as they were hidden,
they could never be erased.

In the Garden it was cloudy
as a sign of all the rain.
That the little flowers needed,
just to wash away the pain.

In the Garden there were weeds
that were growing all around.
Pesticide and roots so deep,
trying to knock the flowers down.

In the Garden there were secrets
that needed to be revealed.
No more darkness in the Garden,
so the stems could now grow healed.

In the Garden there are flowers
that are beginning to sprout.
For the Gardener has brought sunlight,
and has withered the weeds out.

Isaiah 61:11
"For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign LORD will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations".

Before...

Before your rapture comes, before the trumpet blows. Disensitize me Lord, each day that I may grow. I humbly come to you. with courage to confess, Lord lead me by your spirit, that I might die to flesh. I hunger for your will, your purpose and your plan. Because your grace sustains me, to firmly in you stand. I pray each night and day, and magnify your name. I thank you for your precious blood, that clears me from my shame. Your voice I long to hear, that I might not be dormant. Desiring to hear you say, "Well done my faithful servant." Isaiah 33:6 "And there shall be stability in your times, an abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; the reverent fear and worship of the Lord is your treasure and his."

Reflections left behind

She wanted to feel but was numb. Years of bottled up pain and confusion only followed her. She was misunderstood, yet they were the repercussions of her actions. She longed to be loved only failing to realize she already was. How could she recognize the difference between what she can become and what she only saw. How could she be freed from that stronghold upon her? Her reflection in the mirror only sunk her deeper. How can she gamble on her faith when she feared losing? So much to gain, yet that first step was almost impossible to take. She could do it, she was told. She started to believe, started to hope, started to humble herself, started to open her heart. Letting her first True Love, the one that she was oblivious to, into her heart. She encountered a reflection of her past. So painful, yet liberating because her beloved was beside her. Her beloved made her a promise like no other she had heard before, and deep in her soul, she could sense the covenant would guide her, subside h...

An Angel in the making

She was conceived with Love, but even that wasn't enough. She had to go thru hardships, & always came up short. She was by nature egocentric, her world revolved around her. A stranger to herself as she struggled to discover her own identity. "I want to be whole", was her cry for help. Overwhelmed by her pitfalls, yet still holding on to hope. Her heart turned like ice, only to realize it was a trap. To be binded for life from ever encountering what she desired. It was a process in the making, overcoming a degree of pain and hurt. Trying to find the missing piece, yet it was in her hands all along. Emotional restoration with forgiveness in her heart. Life's lessons were not mistakes, only a part of her journey. And this is how she met with Peace, this Angel in the making. And it shall dwell in her soul, deeply embedded, as she goes on.
