cuando pienso en ti, mi corazón está lleno,
porque Tú, sólo porque Tú
how do i aptly describe this joy
of
finally walking right with You,
of knowing that i am able to feel
unmitigated, uncoloured joy - freed
from the irrational fear of false hopes,
insecurities stemming
from knowing whatever i put my hand to
will not be blessed if i do not
seek You first, in my pursuit;
precisely bc
i do not need to hide from man,
when i do not need to hide from You, God.
the steadfastness of my heart & soul,
anchored in the ineffaceable faith
that You will bless what we have
& how we love, both You and each other -
when we uplift each other with prayer,
when we come together to honour You,
to anchor ourselves in all that You are.
the sheer freedom of knowing
that in our hearts we plan our course,
but You establish our steps -
both as a collective & as individuals.
that if You will,
nothing will be able to stand against
nor prevail against
us.
i am learning the blessing
of having our separate, busy lives -
yet having my heart bursting with fullness,
even in the hours spent apart,
knowing for sure that
our covenant
consists of no games.
there is only one rule:
to uplift.
