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...

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."

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".
