Places

Come into the empty places
Where no one else wants to be
The secret dark places
That we hide away
Come into the hurting places
Throbbing with pain
Come into the cavern of silent and Screaming grief
That no one else wants to hear or see
Come into the slime pool of sin
That lurks so near
You died to sweep it away
Come into our burdens that stagger Our imaginations
You would carry them for us
If we would only let you
Come into our sea of emptiness
That we fill with things and more Things
You want to fill it instead with you
Come into the blind alley of rejection
Filled with thieves that slice and cut Our self
Robbing our destiny and our treasure
Cover us with the robe of eternal Acceptance
Rescue us from the screaming winds of Shame
Place us into the deep peace of your Eternal arms
Come into the terrors and mocking Faces of our weaknesses
With your loving countenance alone
Come Savior of our soul
Take us to the Heavenly places
Come, Come, Come.

Beyond

Beyond All Power.

Beyond All Might.

Beyond All Beauty.

Beyond All Truth.

Beyond Indescribable Words.

Beyond Incomparable Majesty.

Greater than any and ALL Universes.

More than any Mercies.

More than the greatest and most pure and tender Love.

Greater Than all Mysteries.

Deeper than the most complete and total Forgiveness.

Quicker than the first thought and before the first Idea.

The always was and always will be.

More than the ultimate joy and the grandest delight.

More than the most complete and total Intimacy.

Creator yet before and beyond every created thing.

Greater than the most perfect gift and sacrifice.

I Am He Jesus.

I give myself to you.

Waiting for you to give yourself to me.

Come.

Come Home and Rest.

I LOVE YOU.

For Those Who Are Broken

Unconditional love matures us

Conditional love keeps us where we are

Unconditional love changes our lives

Conditional love changes nothing

Conditional love remains in the flesh

Unconditional love exists in the spirit

Conditional love lives in what we want to control

Unconditional love lives in what God controls

Conditional love is fed by our emotions

Unconditional love is fed by God's unrestrained passion to be with us

Conditional love fades in trials and troubles

Unconditional love grows more beautiful in trials and troubles

Conditional love possesses its loved one

Unconditional love releases it loved one

Conditional love dries up the fruit of its vine

Unconditional love multiplies the fruit of its vine

Conditional love leads us to the dark desires of our soul

Unconditional love lights our way to more love

Conditional love is forgotten by time

Unconditional love is remembered in eternity

Conditional love may come to those who want it

Unconditional love answers by uniting with those who pray for it

Conditional love is a cry

Unconditional love is a song sung in harmony

Conditional love ends up all alone

Unconditional love becomes a family remembered
