Hello! Today’s post is in the form of poetry. I love poetries, and I love writing them!
Sometimes, writing for me is like the flow of the Father’s Heart through my fingers, it is beautiful. But more than that, it is amazing to see His ways etched within, one piece at a time.
I wrote this piece from a place of exhilarating joy! It seemed as though an explosion erupted within, and for a split second, I could see a mystery hidden within me, within you, within Man all along.
Man! His Mystery! I pray you see the truth within these lines. May your heart erupt with Joy, may the shackles break lose, may you swirl to the drumbeats of freedom!!!

THERE is a beauty etched within.
There is a kingdom long lost and forgotten
Paths of life and light
Mysteriously crafted by the uncreated being
A realm long ignored
Covered by the debris of the fall and its fatal consequences
Yet, voices are emerging already!
Declaring the ageless intents of the immortal one
Bringing down the mountains,
Elevating the valleys
And straightening the crooked places.
FOR the land that must be fought for and conquered
Is not visible in the realm of mortals
The land over which battles have been fought
Is the sacred place within Man
His Heart
FOR this land, a distant merchant has sold ALL
for this treasured field, he has left his glory
Graciously Exchanging his life for the redemption of this land
And He has paid it all!
This field is His!
HAHAHA!!!
Man oh Man
Hidden in you is a mystery older than time
In the sacred space where time does not exist
When the consciousness of anything outside of ALL is yet to emerge
Therein were you fashioned
Skillfully crafted within and without
YET….the fallen messenger thought that was all to you
Flesh and Bone, with a pulsating breath
Hahaha!!!!
MAN fell!
But right there in his fall
He bore a mystery within
A mystery mysteriously etched in his within
I in you, and you in me
For all ages, there would be a longing for consummation
FOR the grandmaster never leaves himself without a witness
His witness within you is a cry
A longing
A desire which no words can contain
MAN, you were made to LOVE HIM!
It wasn’t first a commandment declared on a mount!
It was a mystery etched within you!
It was a law that commandeered your expression
It was the basis for your existence and living
Only after the fall was the pattern reversed
Then you sought to do WITHOUT that which was FIRST written WITHIN
BUT your kinsman redeemer has risen for you
His life has been given in exchange for yours
This land that has been contested for over the ages
Has been declared solely to the uncreated Lover.
In Him, you live
In Him, you move
In Him, you have your being
MYSTERIOUS Man
Here is a truth that makes me wild with Joy
That even in the abyss of forgetfulness
Even as you wandered in the land of the lost and forgotten
The mystery etched within you never left
It was a part of you
It was you
THOUGH deformed by sin
The cry within could not be killed
For the cry was a part of the immortal one
That no death could overcome
Rather, the seat of your affection was turned to another
BUT do not worry!
Now that you live in the land of the ransomed
And you have subjected yourself to the windy one called RUACH
You can BE!!!
YOU ARE!
YOU AM! LIKE THE ‘I AM’!!
PARDON my jumbled gibberish excitement
For I have found a truth hidden within me
I can love like Him!
And the trump card for me is this…
ALL these while, when the enemy thought He had me caged in the land of forgetfulness
There on my inside was a cry that kept ascending to Him for help
A cry I do not even know myself
A cry that blended with the agony of creation
The cry for deliverance
HAHAHA!!! Just how much have you lost oh treacherous one!!
There is a cry in CREATION that cannot be stopped!!
It is a GREAT MYSTERY that sits far above the comprehension of the created order
I would wait.
In this truth, I would rest
DAILY as the cry ascends
As the longing for consummation rises beyond the curtains of time and the present
I see light breaking forth from the deepest depths of darkness
I see the glorious and irresistible lover break out with great affection and desire
AND I know this one thing…
There is a mystery hidden in Man
That no death can destroy
No invention of the created order can overwhelm it
MAN has been made for One
The distant merchant has fought for and ransomed Him
Even now, He cannot but LIVE for Him
Not from coercion
But as an innate response to the mystery within
HIS MYSTERY: I IN YOU, YOU IN ME.
