Someday I will look at this, put my head in my hands, and say, "That was, wow....a LONG time ago." I wonder what I will be like then. Will I be more graceful? (Probably not.) Will I be a little more logical? (Well, that's the plan, but...) Will I still have big dreams? (I hope so.) I made a list a while ago - a list of things I wanted to do in life - write a blog, go on a hundred flights, memorize the Sermon on the Mount, etc. I even had "get married" on this list. (Which will definitely make a lot of sense if you keep reading my blog; I'm a die-hard romantic and it shows.) But I think the biggest goal that I have is to find satisfaction in Jesus only. Easier said than done; my heart tries to find satisfaction in everything but Jesus, and my mind insists that happiness is found elsewhere. So that is why I have decided to start this blog with Release of my Heart. It is when one releases their heart to Love that the rest of life can fall into its place.
The Release of my
Heart
The
stillness is broken
By
the thoughts of my soul
They
are louder than words
And harder to hold
The
questions multiply
The
answer I fear
Ominous
and powerful
Is
the one that draws near
The
answer is surrender
The
choice is too clear
Give
up my heart
And
feel Him draw near
The
waves crash closer
And
the cliff looms near
The
choice is mine
Oh,
why do I fear?
The
quick choked breaths
The
gasp for air
The
release of my heart
Relief
of my care
For
the first time I breathe free
The
cravings subside
The
long suppressed tears
Down
my face glide
The
inhale of breath
The
freedom to see
Love
incarnated
Has
rescued me
Someday you'll look back and wonder "why didn't I start this sooner?" God bless your efforts with this blog and may they touch and inspire countless lives to love and live for Him. <3
