peevishme

remembering peevish me in heartbreak land

wondering if you were really my friend

your voice gentle but seemed so harsh then

reiterated that I was the child and You were the parent

you have always had a way of speaking so clear

especially when i didn't want to hear

God of the universe and even you could not please me

lost in my own need

consumed with my own well being

never realizing You had me

always protecting

You looked past my limited vision

my sight could only see condition

peevish me completely disobedient 

spoiled, ungrateful of Your goodness

willing to settle for expedience

burdened by past moments

peevish me forgetting your richness

joy brands these trials

my wholeness glorifies...

your name

today you remind me of that old day

when my heart and hurts felt the same

you remind me

of the promise you made

today you call me by a new name

DELIGHTED, i am in You

PLEASED to say the least.

your promises are brand new

and my desire is found in You

 

this morning you played me a song

you whispered in my ear

and called me by name

you spoke your written word back to me

this time full circling

showed me your promise

sealing it with your guarantee

you have placed that seal on my heart

i love you .. thank you for your patience

God'sreality

love me with a love that is stronger than sin, worry, or shame

a love that's brave, unconditionally so, a love that loves the hidden me

underneath this shell of a being, the me that only you can truly see

the dirtiest me, the prettiest me, the mes in between

thankyou for teaching us love -khristen

 ^18-20My dear children, let's not just talk about love; let's practice real love. This is the only way we'll know we're living truly, living in God's reality. It's also the way to shut down debilitating self-criticism, even when there is something to it. For God is greater than our worried hearts and knows more about us than we do ourselves.

 ^21-24And friends, once that's taken care of and we're no longer accusing or condemning ourselves, we're bold and free before God! We're able to stretch our hands out and receive what we asked for because we're doing what he said, doing what pleases him. Again, this is God's command: to believe in his personally named Son, Jesus Christ. He told us to love each other, in line with the original command. As we keep his commands, we live deeply and surely in him, and he lives in us. And this is how we experience his deep and abiding presence in us: by the Spirit he gave us.
