Your Heart

You have been here all along-

I have searched for you, 
like one who searches for their shoes, 
Only to find them on their feet.

You have never left me,
I have continued to stumble and stray,
And yet you love me.

Your heart exemplifies hearts,
You had a heart first- without you,
Mine wouldn't beat.

I have tried to figure You out-
And yet the deeper I go,
The more expansive You get!

To me Your love is like;

A calm summer rain, the fat wet droplets soothing my tired burnt skin.
A long nights rest, after a weary day.

Your love smells like a warm cotton towel that has been hung out on the line-
Soft and billowy, fresh and new.

There aren't enough words to describe You.
My vocabulary is frightful.
I could study for days, weeks, months, and years
And NEVER have enough to say about you.

So in my silence I feel for You.
I pray that my heart would swell with Your praises,
That my blood would quicken 
with the anticipation of Your return,

That My spirit would intercourse with Yours.

In my silence 
I train my body to worship you,

So that when I do audibly praise You-

I might someday
Be able to express
How grateful I am,

That You had heart

enough 

to 

give 

me

mine.

The Lord is my Sheperd, I shall not w...

The Lord is my Shepperd, I shall not want.
He has made me new every morning, great is Thy Faithfulness.
Your rod and Your staff they guide me, all the days of my life.
I have become something, out of nothing- and I owe my life to you.

My life is not my 'life'- it is Yours.
I owe 'Your' life to You.
You have restored my family, and brought us to a place of togetherness.
We are but dust in your presence, yet you continually bless us.
You make life worth living.

You give us peace to calm any storm-

Mercy to eradicate faults.
Joy to overcome sorrow.
Laughter to set fear straight.
Courage to stand against the storm.

When others ask how I've done anything, I will state I haven't done anything at all-
It has all been done by you,
Everything I am, and have has been brought by you.

You are the Alpha the Omega- the beginning and the end.
You were here from the beginning of time, and have come down to this wretched land- so that we may be restored to

Your dream.
Your vision.

You have descended upon your people- you have never left us,
Nor forsaken us.

At Calvary you had to let your Son go- 
You had to turn away from sin,
This must have been the hardest thing- You have ever had to do,
And You did it for me,
A non-Jew that doesn't deserve scraps from your table.

And yet, I am now partaking in the covenant promise you gave to Father Abraham.
I am blessed coming in-
I am blessed coming out.
I am the head-
and not the tail.

You have written my name in the Lamb's Book of Life,
I bow down before you, and praise your Holy name;

"Abba Father!
 Jehovah-Jireh!
 Jehovah-Nissi!
 Jehovah-Tsidkenu!
 Jehovah-Shalom!
 El-Shaddai!

You are my fortress and my deliverer- in You will I cleave!"

You have given me children,
Riches,
Joy,
Animals,
Land,
Houses,
Transportation,
Family,
Friends,
Health and healing,
Food to eat,
Love everlasting,
Comfort,
Peace,
Confidence,
Clarity,
Ears,
Eyes,
Limbs,
Speech.

All of these thing you have willingly given me- 
All of these things I have not deserved.

But yet You love me, You care for me- You want to see me most blessed.
You are Jehovah Elohim!
Praise Jesus!
Amen!
