If, Again

Jan 1, 2020 | Blogs, Poetry Spotlight

I’m a battle-scarred veteran of unsanctified covenant–out alive and grateful! God has lifted my head and my future is His business. It’s not up to me or anyone else.


Abba Father, you know my thoughts regarding that profound mystery, and my dreams of that place I’ve never been: In Season, ordained, and hand-picked. I commit them to you and I trust you to return them to me, sanctified, if again.

If, Again

I’ll feast at the end of my fast

And drink deeply through parched lips

I’ll relish that which was restricted

And the giving…

That shall be the sweeter portion!

“Instead, you ought to say, ‘If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do
this or that.’”
James 4:15

My Thoughts
The desire for human intimacy and companionship has resulted in choices that fell painfully short of our expectations. But in Christ there’s grace for new beginnings: Covenant love, done God’s way– in keeping with His will.
