if a heart were to say
"I will be whoever
You want me
to be
I will do whatever
You want me
to do
I will go anywhere
You want me
to go"
and really mean it...
what would life look like?
what would life feel like?
and is it actually possible to
get to that point anyway?
surrender on a whole
new level of
surrendering
this heart is okay with
doing
this heart is okay with
being
this heart is a little scared
with the going part
if we're being
honest here
for this heart loves home
a place of security
a place of serenity
oh it need not be large
in fact smaller is better
so if this heart says
"I will go wherever You want me to
go"
am I not risking losing
that place called
home?
am I not risking leaving
those I love
most?
is it possible to surrender all
with just one little
contingency?
that I get to stay home?
oh how this heart has tried
tried to give all to Him
yet if I cling so tightly
to the place and space I call home...
am I not saying I trust You, but?
this introverted heart loves
alone time
to write
to make music
to listen to His voice
all good things
yet is it my choice to decide where?
and what if He has more people
He wants me to reach than I am now...
or in a different manner than I am now...
those who know this heart
know the zone in which I am comfortable...
loving on kids and grandkids
loving on a mom and siblings and friends
writing words to bless
making music to worship
and praying.
drawing circles.
praying circles around
people
desires
dreams
situations
circumstances
and whatever or
whomever He
places on this
heart beating
I want this heart to beat to the
rhythm of His own heart
I want this heart to beat to the
rhythm of the life song He has written for me
I want to feel and hear every nuance
every shade
every color
He has for me
so this perfectly imperfect heart
stands on the edge of the chasm
covered with and bridged by grace
saying
I will be.
I will do.
I will go.
this heart will live for Him
imperfectly yet passionately
living life one grace at a time
one gift at a time
one breath at a time
one heartbeat at a time
for Him.
So good, may God help us all to say yes!
