Give way to kindness

​Give way to kindness
Give way to Christ
Give way to the beauty
of a ransomed life....

These words are the beginning verse of a poem I wrote this morning as I sat before the Lord.  'Give way to kindness' was a phrase that began running through my brain about two months ago.  At the time I didn't know what it meant, or what it was for, so I just cataloged it in my heart and let it run around in my spirit.  This morning the poem poured out, the tears ran down, and the peace and presence of the Lord were very tangible.  I don't think the poem is all that God will use "Give way to kindness" for...I just sense that there is some deeper purpose there.  And so it is with our lives...they may start out small and as seemingly insignificant, and then as we are captured and captivated by a relentless God, He takes the simple phrase of our life and turns it into beautiful poetry, a heart-felt song, a great work of art, a masterpiece...

I don't know where you are in your journey today.  I don't know what your current circumstance is.  I do know that nothing in our lives is insignificant to the Lord.  I do know that as we give way to kindness, as we give way to Christ, the rich beauty of all that He is can be seen in our ransomed lives.  I do know that every struggle, every hard place, every loss, every pain, every dark place, every hurt, every tear are working in us something far greater than we can imagine.  They are another stanza in the poem of our lives, and without them, we would not fully see Him, we would not know of His great faithfulness, of His great love for us.  We would not know what faith truly is, what hope fully is.  We would not know the depths of all that He accomplished at the Cross if all we ever knew were sunny skies and boxes full of puppies...

So let Him take the phrase of your life and make it into a beautiful poem, a cherished song, a masterful work of art...

Give way to kindness
Give way to Christ
Give way to the beauty 
of a ransomed life...
