A Saviour's Warrior

That you would call me yours,
& know me by my name.
Despite my fears & failures,
past my tears & all my shame.
The Well in the midst of my Desert,
the Hope to my despair.
The ransom for my soul You paid
to show me that You care.
You delight in giving me
all that my heart desires.
Your mercy makes it's way to me
as I struggle though the Fire.
Beauty for ashes you trade for my life
to show that I'm precious in Your sight.
And the strength that I need,
as I surrender to thee,
You provide so I could fight with all my might.
Purify my heart, transform my mind
& the enemy has to flee as all his lies I bind!
Victory prevails as you reveal your Glory
The creator of my life, with an ending to my story.
Leaving the former things behind,
taking back that which originally was mine.
Focusing on my latter days,
trusting you in all your ways.
A friend of a God who calls me Friend
My enemies & my past under my feet,
never to rise again!
You are my Lord, my Saviour
who has revealed, saved & proclaimed.
You called me from the ends of the earth,
before you formed me you knew my name.

Isaiah 43:1 “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.

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...
