They came.
Some who I KNOW
and some who I now KNOW.
It was a piece of heaven
to have so many women
in my home
to gather together
with open HEARTS
to receive
what
GOD had prepared for each one of them,
as JESUS was in the house.
JESUS
who reached every HEART in such a personal way
because only
JESUS
can give the HEART what it needs when it needs it.
To be so vulnerable
is to OPEN your HEART
in a room
where you don't KNOW everyone,
yet
every one is
KNOWN BY GOD.
My living room
became a SAFE haven
filled with
HIS PEACE that transcends all understanding
because
GOD had prepared the space beforehand
because
HIS SON was coming to be the main guest.
JESUS~
who carries our every burden
because
HE wants to.
JESUS
who leads us to what you can't see
because HE
sees the big picture
as HE KNOWS
better than we do.
JESUS~
who holds you tightly in HIS ARMS,
holding you so STILL
that you can hear
your ABBA FATHER'S WORDS
so clear
that being STILL is where
HE PURPOSED you to be.
In HIS SON'S ARMS
who
took every undeserved nail
just because
HE was being
STILL
in that very moment
that
GOD PURPOSED HIM
to be.
Oh
TO BE STILL
in the suffering.
Oh
TO BE STILL
with tears streaming down your face.
Oh
TO BE STILL
when what you desire is not happening.
Oh
TO BE STILL
when
you can't make sense out of the senseless.
Oh
TO BE STILL
with the ONE who just wants
TO BE STILL
with you,
the you
who HE calls
HIS FRIEND
HIS PRIZED POSSESSION
HIS CHILD
HIS HEIR.
Because who would
BE so STILL
to remain on a
CROSS
when HE did nothing to deserve
such a crucifixion,
yet HE did it anyway
because HE had one PURPOSE on HIS mind~
YOU, ME & EVERYONE ELSE.~
"HE personally carried our sins in HIS body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By HIS wounds you are healed" (I Peter 2:24)
JESUS wore the nails to set us FREE
The room is now empty
and I miss seeing their faces
and miss hearing their HEARTS,
yet their remains a
BEAUTIFUL HEART
that was at first a bunch of
NAILS on a board
that became the
SAFE place
for where we hung
all our
BROKEN FEELINGS
BROKEN CIRCUMSTANCES
BROKEN RELATIONSHIPS
by SURRENDERING them
to our
SAVIOR
who came
to make all things
BEAUTIFUL
for
"By HIS wounds we are healed" (Isaiah 53:5).
Oh my LIVING room is truly LIVING
as my HEART jumps for
JOY
because
"Miracles take place
The cynical find faith
And love is breaking through
When the Father's in the room"
(from "THE FATHER'S HOUSE", listen below)
