Heart was broken

Heart was broken

What could have been

What should have been 

Played over and over in my mind

Heart was broken

Brought me back to my Father

Opened my eyes to new things, new places

Opened my heart to a Greater Love

Heart was broken

Healed 

Restored 

Renewed 

Redeemed

Heart was broken

Remade into one for my King

He is the Wind

He is the Wind

So gentle

Plays with my hair

Blows in my face 

Gentle reminders

He is here

So fierce

Destroys old ways

Alters my path

Changes my very being

He is in control

In the reconstruction 

In the rebuilding 

Something more beautiful 

Something more powerful

He is the Wind

True love

Broken

Needs unmet

Searching

Books tell of true love

A man

A kiss

A marriage

That's the formula, right?

No

A God

A Son

A Sacrifice

True love

Greater love has no man than this 

Love so bold

Love so healing

Love so complete

Love so true

True love

Only from the One who lovingly created me

Now I know it

Now I can recognize it

Now I can give it

Now I can receive it 

Letting go

Letting go of what I think my life should be

Letting go of my dreams and desires 

Replacing them with God's perfect plan for my life 

He knows me

He knows my heart

He knows my deepest hopes and dreams

He knows what makes me smile

He knows what I need 

Who better to trust?

The one who makes the mess or the one who brings the beauty from the mess?

My desires changing to His

Bringing beauty and purpose

The beauty in letting go

Memories

Front porch swing

Making memories

Cousins playing

Breeze blowing

Phone camera capturing moments

But wait

Soak it in instead 

The sights 

The sounds

Children's laughter

Chimes ringing 

Wind softly blowing 

Smiles as I remember a childhood outside

Playing

Fishing

Exploring 

Making memories once again. 

Power

“I pray that the perception of your mind may be enlightened so you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the glorious riches of His inheritance among the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of His power to us who believe, according to the working of His vast strength.”

Ephesians 1:18-19 HCSB

Limitless

Immeasurable 

Surpassing

Incredible greatness

Exceeding greatness

Immensity 

Utter extravagance

Words that describe the power of God

Yet we limit ourselves, not fully comprehending that same power is in us!

Same power that raised Christ from the dead

What would the world look like if we lived in that knowledge?

The eyes of our hearts enlightened to know and understand. 

Open our eyes, Lord

We live blinded

We live limited

Lost

Lost in the yesterdays

Past feelings

Just want them again 

The highs

The smiles 

The butterflies 

Lost in lies

The tears

The pain

The regrets 

Gotta move past

It's gone
