Let me not lose them...

"Find my hidden diamonds..." . That's the word I heard, the covenant that was blown over my life. To find diamonds hidden inside each look, each heart, each wounded soul, there's a revelation capable of changing the world of that person. But at the same time I find myself afflicted by a sudden loss of hope, by a strange routine. Why are you so anxious my soul? What has taken away your flame ?

What worth is there in taking steps that go beyond my reach? To move faster than Your spirit in me? I don't want this; Make me move at the rhythm of your heart beat, lead this dance. Every morning when I wake up and take a breath of life, a new revelation is born of your endless Mercy. A hope that you might receive the Glory that you deserve today, and that Christ might so be revealed as the Hope of such Glory.

Let me not lose diamonds that have already been found; let me understand that one step with you is better than one step for you. I want to walk with You, my holy desire; and not simply find my life lost in a routine of conceiving ideas and doing things for some god.

One step at a time, here I am...

convinced...

My Love, everyday I have learned some more about Your eternal Love for me, and when I turn my eyes towards me I realize how filled with flaws is the love that tries to come forth from my emotions. Without a doubt the hardest part of loving is to let go of yourself, to understand that there are no conditions in the unconditional and no chains in freedom. Observations that might appear to be obvious but that reveal to be far more challenging than their own definitions.

These past few days I have been thinking about my feelings and this love that flows from me to the world and people in my life. How can I truly love them? Or should I ask more, how can I love myself in such a way that I will sincerely and unconditionally love them?

I have found that the source of all these questions becomes the answer itself when I turn my face back to You. When I love you, with my failing love and express my heart. I'm captured by a knowledge that goes deeper into Your Glory where unconditional is bounded to eternal, and Love takes form and meaning in You. I'm convinced that only when I love you and surrender to such love, the reservoirs are broken and Your Redeeming Grace makes me look at me and love me and so love the world around me. Through your eyes I find a new perspective that takes me higher and brings forth fruits of repentance due to your unspeakable Goodness.

So come Holy Spirit and hold me to this point of Glory where the revelations of who You are, are acts of worship that flow from a surrendered heart. Thirsty and Desperate I find myself to be embraced by this Love and Grace. That this wanting in my soul arise a holy hunger that boils in me.

My soul, my spirit longs to see you, to see your Kingdom fulfilled. To kiss and embrace my Only Beloved. Longs to be with the one that blows the flame in my heart. How do I wait and how much do I love for this day, to know you in my intimacy.

Today I can say once again, if you are reading this, I love you, whoever you may be, because I am loved; maybe not the love that we have been said to be in our lives and minds, but I love you for you are a fruit of God's Love, a miracle of creation.

I love you...
