Priceless lessons we have learned on this journey of love we’re on
Many tests we have passed, yet
there’s still much to learn
We surrender each time
Papa asks us to trust Him
We know that He knows best
We see in part, He sees
the complete picture
We can see Father’s
hand alive in our lives
Where would we have been
If He didn’t call us out of
our hiding places
Our caves
Our comfort zones
The best decision was when we answered when He called
Turning our backs on our old ways of doing things
To go on a journey with Papa
We left the safety of the familiar
To meet with Him on the
open seas
Not a clue of what was
waiting in the unknown
As waves crashed over us
Leaving us tired and
confused at times
Our eyes were fixed on our Father
An urgency in our hearts
To embrace this set apart,
sacred time with Father
Away from all eyes, strenuous training we went through
Life as we knew it
was left in the past
We came face to face with every issue we tried to hide
Every character flaw was brought in the open
Every habitual sin was highlighted
Dealt with and forgiven
We could not let this opportunity of growth and change pass us by
We had to let go of so many things that once held our gaze
Perfectionism was out by the door when we faced our hurts and worked through our pain
We didn’t have to hide behind polished cars and floors anymore
Our hearts tasted freedom
Our masks were removed
When we discovered how deeply
we were loved
Timid, scared and broken
You found us
Courageous, confident, fearless
We have become through
our journey of love
Our guilt and pasts now testimonies of Your grace
You have a habit of taking
the least of us
And restoring us into reflections
of Your heart
Steeper the waves have become
Crashing over us from all directions
Yet now we are prepared
Calling other sons and daughters
to run with us on waves
We know the One who
calms the storms intimately
He is our Prince of Peace
He will quiet us with His love
as we go deeper with Him!
