keep her heart safe
her feet bold,
her mind at rest
and there is no thought
loosed from being captive to Christ
this is grace,
saved through faith
in the light
she recognizes
the reflection of glory
from glory to glory
as days pass
sunrise to set
east to west
she is not perfect
she is messy, makeup smudged, spilling coffee
spilling potting soil in the process of planting,
laundry on the floor, waiting to be folded
dusty windows, cardboard boxes
she is moving, she is stagnant,
all good things will stay
all else will be deleted.
note: we spend time assuming God changes us the way we would remodel a house, but instead, He tears the house entirely to the ground. This is not to harm us. It is instead to make sure the leaks, the holes, the broken places — the enemy’s strongholds — will never have a hold on us again.
