    @k-a-grey @kb-writer @evelyn Thanks all! <3

    Haha here’s another I wrote. xDD *showers you all with poetry*

     

    To feel the Living God is astounding.

    It almost seems surreal,

    Like He has taken my pen

    And is writing for me.

    His gentle hand on my heart;

    His presence, like a breath—

    Even amidst my stumbling words

    And intrusive thoughts—

    Is like blood coursing through

    What was once a heart of stone.

    It’s like tears running down dry cheeks

    When I, for eons of time, have thought

    I’d no tears left to cry.

    Like a hug from a father after weeks of tension;

    Like rain pouring down after years of drought;

    Like believing in a promise for so long

    And suddenly seeing it come to life

    Right before my eyes.

     

    Sunlight pouring over the mountaintops

    To meet my tear-filled gaze.

     

    It has been dark for so, so long—

    But now I see the light,

    And with it, Your beautiful face.

    You take my blistered hands in Yours

    And kiss my bruised knuckles,

    Broken from years of fighting.

    You say to me,

    “There is no longer need to run.

    My daughter, you are home.

    I Am your home.”

     

    Tears are streaming down my cheeks

    As I put this pen to paper.

    I pray I don’t forget the sun

    When it sinks low again,

    Because it will. That much is sure.

    But even then, my God, I pray

    You bring me back to this—

    To grateful words of a wearied heart

    Who felt the eyes of the Living King,

    Filled with a love so true and dear

    That not even a thousand pens

    Could capture all of its majesty—

    Fiercer than the roughest storm,

    Deeper than the darkest oceans,

    And wider than the sky.
