I come to you….thank you Abba that you stay where you are no matter where I run. Abba I come, I rest in the love you so lavishly give to me your broken child. Father I confess I have hidden in the broken life I lived. I have lived so far in the darkness of shame that I would let no one see me. Oh I came out to show the face of the one I believed they wanted to see, but not the broken me. In the darkness I could not see. I could not see the light of your love for one such as me. In the darkness I build a fortress around my heart and soon I was so pinned in I did not even see the safety of the walls anymore. Abba forgive me for hiding from you and from life. I lost my heart and ability to live in the fear and reality of my own brokenness. I lost sight of life and what you intended it to be. I was devoted to my own safety and my own strength.
Abba you searched me out and showed me your love and my wicked broken heart. You picked me up and have been piecing back together your broken vessel. May I never again lose sight of you. May I never lose sight of your love. May it remain the focus of my heart, mind body and soul. May your love always surround me in the midst of a friendly crowd. May it surround me in the midst of grieving hearts including my own. May it surround me in the midst of a broken and hurting world. May it consume me in the quietness of the storm of my unforgiving heart.
May it surround me as I open my mouth to speak. May I drown in your love in the midst of my anger. May it direct my every thought. May it cover my every failure. May your love fill my every desire and every unspoken dream. May it encircle when I lose sight in the midst of my enemies whether real or imagined.
May your love compel me oh Lord. May I love you more today than yesterday.
