I wrote this poem for you #TightlyWoundWoman.
Praying that God uses it to help set us free, even further.
Unraveling Grace
Wound up tightly like a ball of string
She tries to hide her frayed edges
Her flaws exposed in the unraveling
She works hard not to fall apart
And all this time she fails to see
That Grace is the shelf she’s displayed on
The One who spun her can set her free
And they can make something lovely together
Would up tightly in His Sovereignty
He covers her lack with His love
He clothes her with His Sufficiency
And displays His blazing glory through her
She unwinds slowly as she learns to trust
He mends the broken pieces with His care
Relinquishment of doubt is a must
As He transforms beyond expectations
And all this time He’s held the key
Since the cross that He was hung upon
The One who spun all the galaxies
Made her complete through His sowing
Stay tightly wound to the seam of His Word
And keep the pattern of His choosing
Stay close so you can apply what is heard
Get caught up in the hem of His hope
And for all time He will hold you near
Since He died so you could be restored
Follow the One who makes the way clear
And shine vibrantly; mended tapestry.
You write the most amazing things that speak to the heart of me! Thank you for using your talent God gave you to touch a strangers life, making her realize that I am not alone in this world. There is someone out there that understands and gets me.
So very beautiful Katie. That sums up my recent path and journey so accurately. I am in the midst of this:
Stay tightly wound to the seam of His Word
And keep the pattern of His choosing
Stay close so you can apply what is heard
Get caught up in the hem of His hope
This would make such a great spoken word poem! I love the rhythm of it!
