Elopement of the Morning

Mornings are precious!  They promise a brand new day with fresh start and hope for what may come.  Jesus is teaching me to let my times with Him be the same.  To let Him take me away and resurrect my hope, to restore my heart, and renew my ability to love again.  He wants to pierce through every dark place within us and bring LIFE.  He wants to sweep us away so that we join Him in a dance, where we must trust and follow.  But, like any dance, it's full of excitement and movement which causes the heart to sing!

The One who loves you more than anyone or anything else is calling you away;  He's calling you to a place where He can bring fresh life and a new dawn upon your dreams and heart.  YOU ARE HIS...will you allow Him to be YOURS, your all-and-all, your first love?

ELOPEMENT OF THE MORNING, Poem

 Morning bright –

dreams in sight,

as I awake in light,

golden piercing the night.

In the dawning of hope,

Love of my soul and I elope.

Running away to a quiet place,

away from this world’s-race,

into our meeting space –

 in this meadow we sit face to face.

Beside us, a stream trickles,

the daisies and grass underneath tickle.

We watch our sanctuary come to life,

this hope slicing my loneliness like a knife.

Even in our silence my Beloved speaks to me

to renew dreams and visions of all that is to be.

In the light of the Son, He reaches down,

pulls me up off the ground,

and whisks me through the fields –

twirling me around and around He wheels.

In this dance,

swept in the arms of this Romance,

the brokenness healed;

dreams unconcealed;

life brought back to the heart

to beat a love that felt would never again start.

In our meadow

I let go…

My Love sweeps me back

to my room where, finishing, is my worship track.

But I can’t stop dancing every day,

for He spun my doubt away.

I am alone never,

for my Love beckons forever,

in each dawn’s emerging,

to enter the meadow, our dances again converging.
