POEM: STRIVINGS FORGIVEN: CASE IS CLOSED
My dear child, in you I delight.
You have stood in faith all without sight.
It was hard to suffer the blows
How deeply - only you and I know.
The case in court is over now.
Rest at ease, wipe the sweat from your brow.
Happy it’s over, that’s a fact.
I covered the gaps from what you lacked.
Justice is always taunt with truth,
Weighing My love against what’s uncouth.
You were weighed in careful balance
Every word chosen, nothing by chance.
Lessons were studied, tests taken.
Grades were given, you’re not forsaken.
New beginnings, a page has turned.
Wisdom remains from all that was learned.
I forgave the sins of your soul.
I desire to restore you whole.
Your nakedness has been covered.
Honor is due for shame you suffered.
Your slate is wiped clean, all is pure.
Nothing brought up, no questions to lure.
The past erased, no record kept.
Only prayers answered for your tears wept.
You’ve known the hot face of My love
Burning deep from My impassioned Dove.
Our flames kissed and your torch was lit.
Do not swallow a lie from the pit.
I see you pondering the coals -
Of what once burned brightly in your soul.
You’ve not grown old or been snuffed out.
Your soul was washed pure, holy devout.
I covered your coals with My hand.
Waters can’t quench what My love demands.
My name is Jealous, you are Mine,
As you surrender to what’s Divine.
Your heart, your soul, your thoughts, your all.
Nothing less, as you respond to My call.
Breaking from distraction did cost.
I will restore what you have lost.
I will never, not ever leave.
I’m with you always, never bereave.
No more musings of sorry shame.
In remembrance there’s nothing to blame.
Change your heart from what was sober.
Stop limping from wrestlings now over.
You spent yourself and ceased striving.
You learned to let Me do the driving.
Let no veils drop to hide your face.
Let nothing divide over disgrace.
Never run away - run to Me!
I AM here always to set you free.
I love you with yearnings so deep,
Pray without ceasing, My power keeps.
Just one glance of your heart towards Me,
I listen with tenderness for thee.
