Day 5: Still His


I have been fighting with my computer

in the wee hours of the morning.

For when it randomly shuts down,

it takes all my words with it

so that they are missing,

but then I start writing again.

And this made me think~

who am I if I couldn't write?

Let me rephrase that

Who am I if I didn't wake up to meet with

GOD

so that HE can pour into me all that I need?

Hmm.

So am I a writer?

No.

It sounds absurd as my fingers are moving along the keyboard

right now as I am writing,

so doesn't that make me a writer

or am I just Joni

who craves to be in the Presence of the LORD

so that when she peels herself out of bed

to have a date with GOD

(but first stops at the espresso machine)

and then sits with HIM

and then IT happens.

HE happens~

as HE is happening right now as tears are filling my being.

So am I a writer?

Oh no.

I am just a little girl in an old woman's body

who wants so much more of GOD,

because when

HE IS MORE

I am less

and then I can just be HIS.

Who am I if all my words disappear from my computer?

STILL HIS.

Who am I if I am not ________ or ________?

STILL HIS.

Who are you if you are not _________ or _________?

STILL HIS.

And being HIS is always enough

because HE has to be enough

to make me enough

&

you enough

& everyone else enough.

So let's just

BE HIS

and make it all about

HIM

because

when

"IT'S NOT ABOUT ME"

&

we make it all about HIM

we see HIM

we hear HIM

we experience HIM

no matter what else we may be doing or not doing

no matter what else we may be feeling or not feeling

no matter what else is going on or not going on

for

HE wants to be first place

before our

doing,

feeling

&

going

and even in the midst of our

doing

feeling

&

going

because

HE IS MINE

&

HE IS YOURS

because

you & I are always

STILL HIS

and nothing or no one can change that

because

HE IS & will always be

"STILL MY GOD" (listen to the song below)
