Colors in the Gray

 I was slipping into the gray of life when you found me.

You were a colorful shade that allowed me to be brighter.

I was a fighter.

I always knew that beautiful things in life would come to find me.

I always knew that my Heavenly Father was just and kind,

that He would make things right.

Which side of heaven? Now I wasn't sure of that.

Even so, there you were.

Brighter than any star I'd ever seen,

and you looked at me. 

You looked at me. 

 You saw my colors,

trapped inside of the gray,

and you washed it all away.

You made me smile again.

You reminded me of the warmth that was possible here on Earth.

I was so pleased that God would allow this during my time here on Earth.

I was so thankful that I could enjoy you, and that you enjoyed me.

That we could just... be. 

"In Him, we live and move and have our being"

I am thankful that you know Him,

that you love Him.

Thank you God.

He said "I never want to let you go,"

and just like that, 

I was swimming in a thousand thoughts,

and I never wanted to leave.

I had a hundred songs rushing through my mind,

and I couldn't understand how I felt this way,

how everything before had led up to this point,

and I had waited and waited and waited,

but finally, Here I Was.

Here I was, in this moment,

and I couldn't look away.

I had no words.

I didn't know how to love.

All my life, I waited for a moment like this,

I prepared for it,

but when it came,

I had no words.

Just feelings,

and I just knew...

Dancers of the Light: A Promise from God

And there will come a day when I am no longer in your arms,

when My presence seems absent and My body is no longer visible,

but rest assured,

you are Mine.

You are Mine, and I promise you eternity,

didn't I say I would build a place for you?

I am with you, even til the very end,

and I have prepared a place for you,

that where I am,

you may be also.

The day will come, 

when all night shall cease,

and My light will shine on you,

and you will be fully known,

and there will be no more night,

for you will no longer need the darkness,

You will bask in the light that I provide. 

We will be dancers of the light. 

You see, We belong.

So believe, and you will live a life of abundance in Me.

Blessed

The stains are washed clean, 

I am new,

and I can sing again.

I am a new creation.

In Christ I sing,

I give praise,

I worship.

I am thankful. Thankful.

Thankful for newness,

my Lord, my God. 

He is righteous,

He sees my struggles,

He sees the injustices,

and He knows my pain.

He sees my humility,

my inner-conflict,

and He blesses me.

Double what I lost.

Double blessings for the sorrows,

the pain,

The bad memories I can't forget,

the pain that I suffered.

The torture I went through,

The manipulation and rage,

all of the condescending, ill treatment,

All of the injustices that I went through,

They are GONE.

I am new,

and I have been blessed.

God is righteous, God is good.

Yes, He is.
