May we inwardly groan, waiting with eager expectation, for His glory to be revealed- and his bride to be awakened. May the knowledge of His power bring inspired revelation, that we might sweetly sing His melody unto the nations.

You Are A Fool; You Are an Heir
I would just like to say starting out that this may seem a little weird at first and quite frankly it will sound evil (no pun intended haha) but I think it will be very easy to see the contrast once you are finished reading. Also, sorry if it's long! Who am I talking to anyway.... Haha. Anyway.. here goes.
Foolish child, I love to make you wander about
Feeling as though you've got nowhere to rest.
I love watching the desperation in your eyes as you yearn for something more;
And I love knowing that I am keeping you from it.
Foolish child, you have somewhere to go but I will do my best to keep that from your knowledge;
Don't you know how much I loathe you?
You're trash, you will never be worthy of anything, you sinner;
I love seeing you take solace, without even knowing, in my lies.
Foolish child; look at you just running
Throughout this world in which I wander to and fro.
Run to me and I'll promise you all of your desires; all the while knowing they will not complete you;
For the deepest desire of mine is to destroy your life.
Foolish child I find true joy in hearing that you are done;
With each tear of yours that falls I laugh hysterically.
Your hurt is to me the sweetest of symphonies;
And I am here so that hurt forever will prolong.
Foolish child, if only you knew that the bondage that you find yourself encompassed in I am proudly proclaiming is from me;
But this truth I will indeed keep hidden
You, foolish children, truly are the most hideous of creations;
You are more worthless than dirt on the ground.
I can only hope that you never awaken your hearts;
and forever lie drowning in my vat of lies.
Dearest child, why do you wander so?
Come to the fount and rest.
That I might drench you in a downpour of blessing
That forever soaks and dwells within you.
Dearest child, where is it that you go?
Don't you know how much I love you?
You are my heir; my most beautiful work
Find solace in me that I might reveal this love to you.
Dearest child, why is it that you run?
As far as the east is from the west, there I am also.
Instead run to me; that I might give you life abundant
For this is the deepest desire of my heart.
Dearest child, have I heard you say you're done?
As soon as that first tears finds its was down your cheek, I weep continually.
Your hurt is to me the deepest of sorrows;
I have come so that suffering no longer marches victorious but hangs its head.
In my name, dearest child, you are liberated from the bondage that has encomapassed you;
I'm begging you; grab ahold of my garments that this may be so.
You, my children, truly are the most beautiful of creations;
You are more precious than gold that perishes even though refined by fire.
Please, oh please, bride of mine, awaken your hearts;
That I might lavish upon you all that is intended.
I wrote the two different 'letters,' if you will, above, to provide a contrast between the enemy and God. The devil really does want to keep us in bondage; but the Lord says in me, you are free. And he truly does want to lavish upon us ceaseless blessings; especially when we find ourselves at the end of our rope. He says
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
-Matthew 11:28-
School lately has been very demanding, and in the last couple of days I have felt completely drained. But I was reminded of that verse and although it's hard; I am doing my best to cling to Him and find rest. The enemy no doubt is in heavy pursuit of us; especially when we are at our breaking point. But in this hope we can REST: the Lord, who loves us so much more than we will we ever be able to comprehend, is eagerly waiting for us to come to him, those of us who are weary and burdened, that he may give us rest.
"For creation was subjected to frustration; not by it's own choice but by the will of the one who subjected it; in hope that the creation itself would be liberated from it's bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God."Romans 8:20,21
Thanks :)
