Tender Love

Clear me from my faults,
purify my heart.
Set my feet firmly,
from your ways I shall not depart.
Lord you are my shield,
giving me new strength.
Your love is deep and can't be measured,
by width, nor height, nor length.
By your precepts I rejoice
because your love is pure.
Yet even when at times I fail,
your grace keeps me secure.
How could it be the Lord of Lord
would give his life for me?
Could never comprehend my God
that MERCY was your plea.
The sacrifice that gives me life
just penetrates my soul.
Because it's only by the cross
that I can be made whole.

Psalm 26:12
"My feet stand on level ground; in the great assembly I will praise the Lord."

For you I died

He came to fulfill the law for me. Not for the law to be abolished, but because of His great love for me HE alone accomplished what the law required of me and yet He knew any attempt out of my own strength would leave me breathless but He chose to give up His last breath for me, because He loves me. He gave me hope when He fulfilled the law for me because the law would have placed me in a state of panic knowing full well there is nothing perfect about me and I would be incapable. But as incapable as I am, that did not stop Him. He knew I would be incapable and He was moved with compassion. He fulfilled it for me so that I may live by the Grace he provided as He chose to perfectly sacrifice Himself for me. The law he fulfilled for me gave me access to a greater revelation of how deeply He loves me. And after He fullfilled the law, after he breathed His last breath, He rose and said to me, “LIVE!”

The Layers

Unwrap the layers from this flesh, and leave me naked and undressed. For less is more I've heard them say, my heart before you I must lay. The hindrances you"ll strip away, for you're the Potter, I'm the Clay. And as I stand before you bare, my shame is gone because you care. The image that I held on to, has faded once I was renewed. I feel your breath of life on me, and bask I must continuously. Inhale, exhale, it's so surreal. The way your love just makes me feel. Unwrap the layers, strip me down. And free me from what had me bound! John 11:44 “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”

He found her

He found her. Covered in all the debris of life. Covered in the choices she didn’t give a second thought to making, only to realize she was facing the consequences and feeling as if there would be no escape. He found her, sitting and staring blankly wishing, desiring to start over again. She was covered in her experience of extreme pain and disappointments. He found her, put down, let down, and torn down. How could she look up from where she was. Gravity weighing her down. He found her, though He never took His eyes off her and He gently whispered to her, “I’ve been here all along. How could I find something I’ve never lost sight of?” At that moment she found Him and her epiphany of how deeply lost she was caused her to become responsive to the invitation before her to a place where she could be free from dwelling. She found herself and looked on past all the things that had placed her in that state of desperation, though in that state she embraced her freedom in her intima...
