Hi friends,
I wrote in my journal in August of this year a Psalm to the Lord, inspired by a prompt from Graham Cooke, who I listen to.
And I reread it today “randomly” and felt led to share it with y’all publicly. I have never considered myself to be creative or poetic but I humbly present my heart to you.
Thank you Lord for my community
For how you’re moving in my life
For your purposes, which are greater than me
But yet, I get to be a part of them
For your Abundant, exceedingly more than I can ask for or imagine Provision
For Who you are – steadfast in love, bestower of grace, kind and patient with me, Lover of my soul, Pursuer to the end, Beautiful, all-consuming in your love for me, Giver of all good gifts, Father who adores me
I know that you are well-pleased with me
I am because you are. You are the Great I AM.
And you choose to dwell in me. What a profound and amazing mystery!
Christ in me, the Hope of Glory
I get to love you and share your never-ending Abundant, cup-overflowing love with the world
To take back territory from the Enemy
To get my inheritance- people who know you and have true relationship with you
As I’m discipled, I disciple – to the ends of the earth
Your Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven
What a joy! A privilege!
To partner with the Most High to accomplish your will on the earth
To love others as you love me
To give up everything for you
Because I can’t lose. You already won the war. And you’re redeeming everything and everyone.
It’s about relationship
The Divine Trinity in perfect self-sacrificing community: sharing that perfect unity of love with the world – with humans, the Crown of creation.
You created us to rule, benevolently and justly
The Kingdom is here
The King of Kings is on the throne, forever He reigns
And we, His ambassadors, have authority to colonize the earth with His love
To activate the Spirit within each one, created in His image. Good at the core.
You lived and died for us because you love us
Because you call us worthy
God saw all He created and He declared it GOOD.
We are set free from bondage – new creations
The old is gone; the new has come
You, my dear, were born to be loved
You are loved.
You are love.
Because the God of Love is in you.
Love is in you.
Love is you.
We experience His love to give it away
Like a running river, we cannot keep it for ourselves
We must pass it on to others
Spill out what’s bubbling up from inside
A love this good cannot be contained
It springs up from within and waters everything around it
Dead, dry plants come to life
Hearts of stone become flesh
The Broken are made whole
The Sick are healed
The Forgotten are seen
The Blind receive sight
The Captives are set free
In this Kingdom, the King came to serve and lay His life down for His people
And He expects His citizens to do the same
We are given authority and power so that we can make earth look like heaven
And multiply His love to the ends of the earth
To restore His family back and solidify our identities
Sons and Daughters of the King of Kings
Loved to love
Freed to free
Healed to heal
The Divine and Man partnering together
So that the Kingdom of Heaven is established on earth
And all His children know that they know that they know that they are loved.
**This poem is dedicated with love to my beautiful Miracle Meghan. For in her grad teaching at G42 one year ago this month, she had us write a poem from a prompt she gave us and I felt and was more poetic in that 10 minutes of writing than I’ve ever been in my whole life because she IS poetry and acceptance and peace and it just flowed out of my heart in her presence.
Meghan: I love you and I miss you. Declaring full healing and restoration over you until it’s no longer a prayer but a reality. Love you always beautiful one.
