Brokenness is the best way to describe my heart right now in this season of being home. Not at all do I speak out of a place of ungratefulness, rather I speak from a place of exposure of the heart. Deep, dark wounds surface to the most outward parts of me. Yet even in the midst of all the pain, I feel a love that empowers and overcomes me. I feel Papa God ripping open the core of me while He caters to my every need. I hear the heart of the Father crying out, "Arise My love, and come away!" as He gently pulls away a false identity. Brokenness hurts, but the over powering intimacy Im experiencing gives grace. He's so close to me He could kiss me! He whispers softly in my ear, "Beloved! My gentleness made you great"(2 Samuel 22:36). I feel completely out of control except this time Im not afraid. I never knew this longing heart of mine could feel so secure and full of hope with the peace that surrender brings. Now I'm beginning to understand God's faithfulness to His Beloved; because healing is here and freedom is no longer a distant thing in my heart.
"Out of my distress I called on the Lord; the Lord answered me and set me free. The Lord is on my side, I will not fear. The Lord appeared to me, "I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore i have continued my faithfulness to you Beloved. Again I will build you, and you shall be built. Again you shall adorn yourself with tambourines and shall go forth in the dance of the merrymakers. Violence shall no more be heard in your land, devastation or destruction within your borders; you shall call your walls Salvation and your gates Praise. Your sun shall no more go down, nor your moon withdraw itself; for the Lord shall be my everlasting light, and my days of mourning shall be ended!"
"PRAISE THE LORD, ALL NATIONS! EXTOL HIM, ALL PEOPLES! FOR GREAT IS HIS STEADFAST LOVE TOWARDS US, AND THE FAITHFULNESS OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER."
"PRAISE THE LORD!"
