a heart empty will stay empty no matter the amount of love being poured in unless it is sealed by the love of Jesus...on its own a heart is sieve...emptying as quickly as being filled...and oh the lengths a heart will go to feel loved...desperate to be accepted...longing for worth...for value...not even knowing perhaps how very empty it is...the feeling of emptiness becomes normal...seeking to find worth and a reason for living simply a way of life...oh the contrast when that heart is opened to truth...such love and purpose and value and security and worth and joy and peace and contentment to be found when the heart comes face to face with Jesus at the cross...when ears are opened to see and eyes to hear...for He speaks in whispers quiet enough to drown out the storm raging within...
"My beloved one...
how My heart longs
for your heart to grasp
truth so true
you search frantically
in desperation hopeless
to find love
to find worth
to find purpose
to find acceptance
but you look in places
in people
in ministry even
not able to provide
that which so elusively eludes
doing doing doing
convinced the way to know Me
is found in the small word 'yes'
for surely finding Me must lie within
what you do for Me...
oh such good things
kingdom things
ministry things
so determined to find Me
that in actuality you
miss Me completely
hear Me, My child...
your worth your identity your security
all for which you long
are found only in Me
and not in what you do for Me
but rather in what I did for you
for as you gaze at My cross
as you gaze into My eyes
you will see love so lavish
as to drown your heart if you will
allow yourself to surrender
to come to the end of
your very self
by falling into
My arms with
abandonment so
sweet
in Me you will find wholeness overwhelming
for not only am I willing to patch the heart holes
I will make your heart as new
for was not My own heart
My body
pierced for you?
I love you with a
love extravagant
you are My bride
in My eyes you are perfect
and how can perfection be made more perfect?
how can that which is full be made more full?
nothing you do
nothing you do not do
can in anyway add to or takeaway
from My love
simply sit with Me awhile
come to know the very essence of Me
for in Me you will find you
so cease striving
and you fall into My arms
I am more than enough
