I fall on my knees, overwhelmed, I'm drowning in this love. The joy flows through my soul; my heart pumping hope through my veins. A smile is all I can do to contain this fire. My entire being is shaking, my heart burning, I fall on my face and surrender my all.
I'm broken apart
tenderly, each piece of me is stripped away.
Then, in one act of grace, waters of restoration rush through me. I'm caught in the current. I've lost control, but I no longer have any desire to regain it. I've let go. Now the waters carry me to an unknown place. It looks beautiful. My exhilaration turns to fear. My fear, to dread as I realize my unworthiness. I look down, I see my ugliness. I'm filthy. I'm dirty. I'm gross. In an act of desperation, I try to clean myself with the waters around me, but the water turns to mud as it rubs against my skin. "Don't take me like this!" I scream, but it's no use. The pull of the waters entangle me, there's no turning back, the current is too strong.
Then, I see Him. The Lover of all Love. The Healer; The King. I'm trembling, I look away. I try to fight the current. I grasp on to anything that will help me push on upstream. A wave comes, and I'm swept away. I try to cover myself as the waters push me closer and closer to Him.
Maybe if I hide myself, He won't notice me. Maybe He'll see my resistance and give up on me. Fear overwhelms me as I think of the possibility of Him leaving. Despite my struggles and stubbornness, my heart whispers, "please don't go."
Suddenly, He reaches out His hand. In one swift motion, I'm caught up and held in His embrace, His presence warming my shivering body.
"Your Mine" He says to me, "and now today, I Am yours. Come away with Me."
My doubts fall like broken chains. My fears stripped away.
I take His hand, and we go.
--Peace and Love.
