To find the Heart of a Woman



A thousand eyes behold her, the dance flowing seamlessly,
Orchestral backdrop, a rhythm on which to float,
Musical notes like dancing partners, moving between, sliding below,
A pirouette, a graceful dip, outstretched arms into His she falls.

            To find the heart of a woman, to embrace wings of love with your own,
            To beat as one, flying together, to a secret place, the shadow of His own.
            Soaring in breathtaking beauty, seeing not what the eye beholds,
            To behold what is hidden, made known to the mate of one’s soul.

The applause, a crescendo, flawless perfection beheld,
Brokenness hidden, an aching heart for eyes to see below,
Deeper than the performance, into her very soul,
An angel, full of compassion, flowing with grace, I know.

            To find the heart of a woman, to embrace wings of love with your own,
            To beat as one, flying together, to a secret place, the shadow of His own.
            Soaring in breathtaking beauty, seeing not what the eye beholds,
            To behold what is hidden, made known to the mate of one’s soul.

Be loved for what cannot beheld, another’s heartbeat within your own,
Embrace her not with arms, with wings of love, a cover of grace,
Undeserving, unconditional, eternal covenant, never forsaken,
To find the heart of a woman, embrace wings of love with His own.

To find the heart of a woman, surrender your heart to God,
Abandon the need to seek elsewhere, to be called a man of this world.
Surrender eternally your heart needing love, seeking nothing in return.
A gracious God, you loving Him, surrendering your own.

To find the heart of a woman, you must first know God’s love,
Wings of grace embrace you, a heart filled with His, now yours to behold.
Abandon your heart to God, surrender your love for His own,
Believe Father will give you a daughter of His own.

A Princess to stand with you, to embrace with His love,
His wings now yours, as you soar together, three as one above.
           
            To find the heart of a woman, to embrace wings of love with your own,
            To beat as one, flying together, to a secret place, the shadow of His own.
            Soaring in breathtaking beauty, seeing not what the eye beholds,
            To behold what is hidden, made known to the mate of one’s soul.

A Life Choice

January 5, 2015

“He trusts in God.”
Matthew 27:43




He hung from the cross between the two robbers afflicted with the same grueling death. He was without sin, yet hung there in the midst of sin, His claim, “I am the Son of God.”

“Let God rescue him now if he wants him,” they mocked. They are the ones who should have known him for who He is, for the chief priests, teachers of the law, and elders were educated with the knowledge of the coming Messiah, yet they were blind to the Light he brought to penetrate the darkness of souls. They shut out the Light, closed the door to their hearts and remained steeped in their rigid ways of law and tradition, for they would have lost their self-ruled power and hierarchical status amongst the Jews, God’s chosen people.

What these intellects did not realize is that those who believe Jesus is the Son of God are children of God and rightful heirs of sonship in the family of Christ.

“Yet to all who received, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God – children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.” ~John 1:12-13 NIV

When we picture that day at Calvary, the day that tore the veil of God and gave us rightful relationship with Him through His only begotten Son, Jesus, the three crosses - Jesus nailed on the center arms of crucifixion, two criminals, one on his right, the other on his left - we witness two choices: fear God or mock Him.

One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and us!
            But the other criminal rebuked him. Don’t you fear God, he said, since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.
            Then he said, Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.
            Jesus answered him, I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.” ~Luke 23:39-43 NIV

One became a son of God, receiving God’s grace, while the other remained a son of wrath, receiving his just punishment.

What then, is your choice?

            Therefore brothers and sisters, we have an obligation – but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it. For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs – heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. ~Romans 8:12-17 NIV

This life choice is yours.

I trust in God.

Praise God for the words and visions he gives me, stellar rhema of which I scribe. ~Jeff Cambridge © 2015
