Joy & Hope

After looking over my more recent pieces of writing, I have come to the realisation that there are so many that have come from negative emotion. So many written out of desperation, out of hurt. I suppose it rings true that a writer does produce his or her best pieces when written with raw emotion. Although I love how so many of them have turned out, they give off a very "sad" feeling.

These last few weeks, the Lord has filled me with such great joy, and so I do not wish to focus on the negative things of the past. I want to spread the love and happiness that He has blessed my life in abundance with. So today I wish to share one that is far more hopeful. It was a "conversation" I had with the Father one day in October 2009. He wrote the first stanza, then I the second, He the third, and I the fourth.

Saturday and the sky is blue,
a dazzling bright for my love for you.
I have given this day for you, My child,
A gift from the heavens above.

I will honour You with this day, my Lord,
I will love You with my life.
I give it back, a gift from me,
It is Yours to do as You see.

You must be weary, the road has been long
The test, the struggles, have taken their song,
But trust in Me, and you will find,
Relief is on the horizon.

I DO trust in You, my strength, my rock,
I seek out the horizon,
But not without first looking around me,
For right now is the matinee.

As you can see, He is a far better writer than I... the author of the greatest book we know :)
