God keeps bringing 2 things to my mind: freedom and desire. So this is random, but I used to write poetry a lot, and since this was on my heart so strongly, I decided to write today... it really flowed and was probably the fastest poem I've ever written. ❤
My Desire and Delight
My heart cries out for passion, for a love that overflows!
This desire has consumed me in a way that no one knows.
But shallowness surrounds me in this world so dark and grim;
So the hope of finding all that I desire was getting dim.
I want someone who loves me for my heart and not my looks;
I am searching for a hero I can only find in books.
I want guidance and direction from someone kind and wise.
A deep and lasting love; no fear of heartbreak or goodbyes.
A man whose heart is loyal and devoted to the core.
I want to be pursued; I want a man who'll go to war...
Who'll vindicate me every time my heart has been attacked,
Who'll fight for me and free me from all chains that hold me back.
I am longing for a purpose, a role only I can fill
And a total, lifelong peace and joy no circumstance can steal.
An all-consuming love that sets me free from selfish thoughts,
And puts me on a course to please My Love at any cost.
But all these perfect visions seemed so far and out of reach...
I've tried some things to fill the void, but felt empty with each,
Until the day I recognized my spirit held the key...
The Voice that I'd been tuning out was there to set me free!
"Those who seek will find," He said, yet I'd failed to draw near;
Forgive me, God, for seeking comfort anywhere but here.
I viewed You as the path to get whatever I desire,
But You opened up my eyes and You have set my heart on fire!
My spirit stirs within me every time I hear Your Word,
And as I read, I understand my JOY is in the Lord!
My hope is reawakened; I have found the place to start.
Lord, You alone fulfill the deepest longings of my heart.
The everlasting love I seek is only found in You;
You never will reject me, Lord; Your promises are true.
And in my darkest storms, You are my source of radiant light.
God, YOU ARE MY DESIRE, my deepest passion and delight!
