I have a heart for worship. When I consistently spend precious time with my Heavenly Father, my life overflows with joy. There are times, however, when I find myself in the midst of spiritual warfare, and before I know it, I am in this "lonely place". God always rescues me, pulling me out of "the pit" into His light. He restores me, each time teaching me something new. I had a difficult time writing this piece because of my pride. But I know that our hardest trials and biggest secrets are the very ones that the Lord wants to use. When we are weak, He is strong. I give my Father God the glory, and thank Him once again for delighting me and loving me.
In His Arms Again,

Welcome Home
Humbly I bow on bended knees
As I desperately seek His face.
Father God, I call to Thee
To come into this place.
You have said in Your Holy Word
That in this life there will be trials.
But You promised that You have overcome this world, and
Hand-in-hand we'd walk these troubled miles.
Sometimes, Lord, I feel all alone
And Your silence is difficult to hear.
My flesh fails me each time I seek safety on my own.
I cry out, "Lord, can You really be to me near?"
Then ever so gently I hear Your voice,
As You draw me back and through.
"I've been here with you, all along, Child.
It wasn't I who moved, but you.
Be still and remember who I am, Sweet Girl.
Come sit at My feet a while.
Take a deep breath and let your spirit listen.
Rest in Me so your heart can smile.
You see, Dear One, when you neglect
To spend time in My Word, praying each day
Like a vicious cycle
Your soul feels empty.
You feel like you've lost your way.
My Word is the Manna for your very soul,
And a Lamp Unto Your Feet.
It's My very own love-letter written for you.
Hide it in your heart,
My promises are for keeps.
Whenever you feel you cannot pray
And your words are not easily expressed,
Do not worry, My Child, because the Holy Spirit
Intercedes for you
He comforts and gives your mind rest.
You cannot rely on your emotions or feelings
To measure how close by I may be.
But instead you must understand who I am.
It's My faithfulness you should always see.
Remember, Dear One, the past blessings I have poured
and the prayers I have answered for you.
Look at your life as living proof
I am Your God, Faithful and True.
Surrender your heart and will to Me,
Trust Me, I will do My part.
When you seek me you will find me, Precious One,
When you seek Me with all of your heart."
In the arms of Grace
And in Mercy's embrace is where this soul longs to roam.
My Father God has restored me to Him.
In my heart, I hear, "Child, welcome home!" |
