What lies do others believe of themselves?
You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make them drink.
They must be willing and seek on their own,
in their own way
in their own time.
All you can do is be there–
ready to give them the water when they seek it
that’s all
And let God the Father do the rest
I sometimes think I imagine
I have a small taste of Christ
to wait in faith
to be eager for the wedding
but to have a bride, unsure
she is unsure it will not happen
but I have faith that it will.
My Father in Heaven has said it
to be so eager
and to still be me
for that is all I can be
dreams shatter
collide build
reassemble
mighty and small.
different than they were.
together, two wills give birth
to creation.

I am your Fiance
The wedding hasn’t happened yet
I wonder how many realize we aren’t yet married.
The Wedding Feast of the Lamb is when that happens
For now, I am part of your dedicated fiancé
I look forward to that day
His blood is on the mercy seat
a sacred act never to repeat
a sacred act, to me complete
//
A holy act never to repeat
sacrifice made for you and for me
//
His blood is on the mercy seat
a fuller act unable to compete
are those who try but are less worthy,
//
His blood is willing, he lives in me,
his blood covers me
//
his blood is on the mercy seatÂ
a Fuller act, that cannot be beat.
Full and complete, the whole promise is kept
our distance from him can now be swept aside.
The God of wisdom and delight,
pleasure and pain.
Joy and terror
who knows of each
knows them all
knows their context and their purpose.

The God of the ridiculous, God of the sublime
God of sternness, God of humor
God of death
God of parenting
God of infancy
God of age,
God of teenage hormones
God of the foolish
God of the wise
God of stars and trees and rocks
God of ice and fire, wind and water God of
plasma
God of spirit

Applying gender of the physical equipment is a limitation far beneath Him
God is so much more than equipment.
God of every type of genitals
God of every sex
God of every gender
God of sex
God of childbirth God of menstruation God if testosterone
God of the feminine God of the masculine
God of every galaxy, who made them
knows them,
God of every star who knows them all by name
///
God who knows how many hairs are on my head,
who knows every foolish stupid decision
I have ever made and still loves me,
still wants what is best for me, wants to give me good things
but also does not want to leave me in the mess that I’m in.
He does not want to
leave
me
at all
He gives me every chance, every opportunity
to change
to turn to Him
to reach for Him
to listen for Him
to listen
to Him.
You will lift the chains that
bind me
you free me from my bondage
you free me from the trap
I’ve
fallen in
to cleanse me from the
mud
you take me from the trap.
You heal my wounds.
Praise you Jesus. I praise you Father God
God, that is true
I did not ask what I should do
I did not involve You in my plans
I did not place it in Your hands
I think to hold it all on my own
with my power I don’t want to hear You groan
under the weight of my burden
I know You are mighty, beyond compare
//
Your strength surpasses mine like a Tiger’s surpasses
a strand of hair
I do my part,
I bring what is needed,
I bring what I can
I place it in your hand.
Love is Self-denying
deny the self, God and your spouse lift
you up.
You focus on two others, but two
People are focused on you.
It’s the job of your spouse and
God to be
concerned with
you and about you,
That’s Not your
job, it’s theirs.
