The Search

Walking the cold streets of life
Confused
Aimless
Like a vagabond who has no idea of her genesis, and worse, heritage.
Like a child who knows not her Father.
Like one who is not persuaded in the one she believes in.

Now I’ve found You once again
Dead woman brought to life
Yet another resurrection through a love that lasts until eternity and forever
How foolish of me to have thought that You didn’t find my body conducive enough to make a home in my heart.
The sheer insanity of me to have thought that You had forgotten the sound of my voice, and in the process, forsaken me.

It’s hit me.
Now realizing I had something that I never lost.
Fellowshipping and being in the midst of brethren and sistren alike
Smiling
Laughing
Connecting
Pure, unadulterated goodness and joy.

Thank You for never letting go
Thank You for your unconditional love
Thank You for the gift of fellowship
Thank You for GRACE

Grace.....

Your release of undeserved enablement, empowerment and forgiveness.
Your grace which accommodates all my weaknesses, flaws and quirks.
Your grace that catches me every time I fall and dusts the dirt from my shoulder.
Your grace that brings me a step closer to my You-ordained destiny, day by day.

Now I've found You once again
And I chase your attention and stamp of approval on every thought, word and move I make.
I crave your knowing smiles as you turn to your Son and say:
She is mine. I am delighted in her. 

Now I've found You once again.
And I ask for the grace to be consistent.
To hold on desperately like never before.
To be courageous to pay the cost: my life.

This is where I belong.
Right here.
In Your arms.

I can finally breathe.
