like honey

he poured. At 3:30 in the morning, I woke up. Then suddenly it was my time. I knew "oh here it is". It was easy to get up.
And i began writing. It was like I was being given the lines.
He was having me just move the lines, plunk them in a new spot and I could see how fine it all was working. He was showing me the way.
This sweet poem. The words just fit, and they were not from my imagination, but real. Holding the meat of God.
I had the fondest time and I felt that You were fond and that it was all clear.
There were no extra words, it was like talking to You and I delighted in it as i went and it was easy, like oil I went. I did one line, then the next, containing it all, just easy, and lovely, and good and intimate and enabled and knowing and having. Then some moving and inserting of lines was where the lines got really thick. Everything fit, The comforting way I went with my words, not grabbing but making the way for the Lord.
Truly this was not me. I had never written like this before. There was not that cut-and-paste. And I knew. I knew what to do. I erased lines, thinking "nope. That's not it." I never do that, I usually save all the pieces until i'm tangled in too much, archiving separate documents of anything i cut. usually there's some place where the poem doesn't work, or where you wish you could say it just right. but here in this poem, there is nothing like that. And i knew when i was done! it was like God put on my heart, "you're done." and i had nothing more to say. And everything fit! He gave it to me whole!
This just increased my faith.
Just as Michelle and I had talked about, as i was going through the process. I hoped that the process of the poem would reveal something about God to me, that I would become something new through the poem.

And truly, this poem just increased my faith. I feel as though i really just met God.
Here is what I wrote in my journal that night.
I get it.
You deliver the whole.
You come on your promise.
You delight.
You show-up.
You can do this. with anything.
I get how it's supposed to be. to get the whole package from God. ready made, and full and whole and easy and pleasant and ridable.
