Poetry...

"I am my beloved's and He is mine"
So many people say it,
But what does it even mean?
Beloved?
How do you become someone's beloved...
When they are not in front of you,
tangibly?
My deepest longing
"I am my beloved's and He is mine"
I long to understand that.
I know I belong to him
But...
Beloved...
That is my heart's one true desire;
To belong to my Beloved,
And my beloved to me.

Loving extravagantly
So hard for me, a mere human to do.
But You, Jesus, do it so well
You should have smite me long before now
But You didn't.
You have a purpose for my life;
A plan.
Jesus I want to be made perfect in Your eyes,
Not the eyes of people.

Worship with reckless abandon
But wait...
Isn't reckless bad?
Worshiping with reckless abandon brings freedom.
On your face before the King of Kings, Lord of Lords;
But most of all your Father.
He wants to embrace you,
love you.
But he is such a gentlemen
and isn't going to force
He just wants us to obedient
The bible says trust in me and I will direct your steps
So why can't we do that?

Repentance leads to righteousness
Or so this is what they say
Rebukes
Follow Jesus
But it hurts to be obedient
Is it really worth all this?
Vulnerability
Chains fall to the ground
Grace
Such an amazing gift
But what if
We are disobedient because we know there is grace?
Beauty
We were created in the image of the ultimate beautiful one
But is disobedience beauty?

Love so amazing, so divine
Beauty, such undeniable beauty
Grace, absolutely amazing grace
But also truth; glorious truth
A total and complete sacrifice
truly nothing can compare
He died so that we can live
live life abundantly.
