The Love That Conquers Death To Death Do Us Part

The love of Christ that conquered death for me. The love of Christ I receive every single moment of my life as I try to pretend for a moment, I am ordinary. I sit tucked into a window seal in an outrageously loud room, reading a book. A room at times is so loud I feel the pulse of the earth about to lift me off of the chair.

I sit with You and continue on reading quietly, trusting that You are exactly who You say are. I lay done all my strive ever part of this soaring pride beyond being a bad actress or circus performer. I allow You to lead me Holy Spirit through the shadow, I allow Your voice to overcome submerge every single voice that is around me, the voices inside my own mind, I allow it to come and do its great work. I let go instead of squeezing harder. I let go until it is all You and none of me, I allow faith to do its wondrous work in my heart. I allow it to evidently take over my heart to minister to me.

You lead me pass the place of all uncertainty and into the Way where You rule and reign. Quiet and gentle is my mouth that of a dove, darkness approaches. It comes trying to cloth me with all kinds of evil, wickedness, lies about You, lies myself, lies about my worth. Death and fear have arrived and rang the doorbell they approach and engulf around my body trying to push my body past every natural propensity it has to stand to succumb and crumble in its presence.

But love knows my name and speaks ever so gently in the midst of incoming Hades. They demand my life, the one that You ransomed once and for all. I now know this to be a slight comical greeting. My death is demanded but your love is so much stronger and better. Your love speaks another truth that I am to live out in that moment one that dissolves our adversary. The love and faith the whispers to the raging storm and says peace be still.

The love of My Heavenly Father that assures me I am His and no doubt am I forgotten. The love that highlights and calls me out in a room. The love that left such a mark on my heart and wrecked my life purposefully that when I think of it, I cannot even breathe. The love the draws me forward beyond every single thing that is comfortable and known to me. The love the has defeated death publicly it has become my blessed life waving this banner so high.

We dive into Your glory like the eagles who are lifted higher by the storm clouds reaching heights it never could without the fierce winds propelling him forward. The opportunist nature of the clever bird seeking conquering the air wings stretched out.

The love that every single person can recognize, the love that draws us home. The love that is my Amen.

In the blink of an eye, a move of an eyelash I find Your mercy and love gently melting everything off of me. My heart safely nested in Yours. This love that just doesn’t say stuff it never lies and never fails. The love that confronts death itself and moves me into the resurrection love and power that raised Christ from the dead.

The love that conquered death for me first. It has become, You have become My salvation. The love that told me there is no need to be afraid, the love that reigns stronger than death gentle as a dove.

The love that just washes over me over and over again and is never getting sick of me, is rising with me upwards to You. The love that shows itself triumphant daily.

How You are the living breathing Word of God moving amongst me everywhere. Closer than I know and getting forever eternally closer to an expected end.

Your strength makes me tremble to the love stronger than death.

The love that never fails to smash Hades for my regard and smash through the earth. Break glass Abba! Forever.

Jesus Christ Forevermore

A little love note at the foot of Your word.

For the vision is yet for an appointed time. But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

Habakkuk 2:3
