She looks up
and I recognise her
A smile lit up her face
When she sees me
I can get lost
in her eyes filled with love
I can get lost in the hug that she gives me
I can get lost in the One who restored her
Does His love really have the ability
to restore a person back to His heart?
Set them free from fear and demonic oppression controlling them for years?
She told me that it was a revelation
of Papa’s love that forever changed her
A christian for years
Yet she was still bound in
fear and despair
Her mind always cluttered
Her body bowed low
For she didn’t know
Who she was in Christ
Papa took her on a journey
of discovering His love
Sometimes He separates us
from everyone we love
We go to our cave’s
For circumstances force us to visit there
We throw tantrums, because why would Papa lead us this way?
This was not on our to do list
Yet Papa knows that this detour
will forever change us
How long we stay here
Will be up to us
There is always something important to do
Yet the cave will be our place
of restoration and healing
Of dealing with everything under the mat
Papa will walk us through each painful step
Till we’re overcome by His joy
and we’re changed by His love
We go through relationship
and health challenges
Might lose our job, house or a loved one
There might be deep pain that
we never dealt with
We might struggle with insecurities, rejection, or deep pain
These things can keep us
in bondage and chains
Hindering us to discover
our position in Christ
The cave awakens our God given dreams
In the confinement we discover
our strength within
We discover that our challenges
are our training ground
It was never meant to
destroy us
Only to catapult us
into Papa’s will for us
Many times we want to give up
Not realising the strength we posses
Pressing through darkness
We worship
We pray
Then one day we wake up
and we are changed in His presence
Our hearts beat in rhythm
With the One called Love
Walking away from me
She leaves a trail of His amazing heart
She is a woman on a mission
Washed and restored by His blood
His love made her brave
She is running on waves with her King
Ready to bind up every broken
heart she encounters
To proclaim liberty to every captive daughter
To open every prison door
to them that are bound.
