He’d watched her for awhile
Saw her wings spread wide and beautiful
Watched them wither and fall away
Anxious to hold her in his arms of protection
Indulge in her story
Curious…
Was she sweet, complicated, soft, hard…
Longing to reveal her hidden treasure
See what moved her to laughter
What darkness stole her smile
What was the unbearable pain that caused tears to swell up in the corners of her brown eyes
He wanted to hold her in the palm of his hands
Read her story out loud
Run his fingers softly across the pages of her heart
Touch her spirit
Understand her soul
But his story was too complex
Filled with tattered, tear stained pages
She could not allow him to pick the beautiful fruit from her tree as he had yet to unravel the tangled weeds within his…

Then she closed her eyes
Had a long conversation with her Creator
Took a deep breath
Looked around one last time
Securing the last box
Packed with little pieces of her story
Suddenly she felt a calmness in her spirit that she hadn’t felt in awhile
It was at that very moment
She knew without a doubt she was being led to her answered prayer
Then the tears began to fall
Because she also knew…
Every moment of sunshine, as well as all the darkness that came before it was meant as part of her journey…
~D’Temptress💛
And just like that…
She lifted her broken wing Looked up into the heavens Released all of her worries, all of her fears…all of her pain.
Surrendered it all to her Heavenly Father
And she was free to fly again!

Come to me, my weary child
I know the burdens you carry
This is not your cross to bear
Let me give you rest…
~D’Temptress
Like a deer at the river’s edge
I thirst for you
I long for refreshment and renewal
I will drink from your well
Filling myself
Full of your…
Love.
Grace.
Wisdom.
Experiencing the joy and peace you have laid before me
I will not waste these precious gifts you so lovingly shared with me
I will enjoy them for all my days to come…

Even in times of darkness, His Light shines upon me
Making my path clear
My spirit calmed
My heart loved
He is my guide in this journey of mine
Even when I cannot see, I reach out my hand to Him
He wraps my hand in all His love and all His grace
As he holds my hand and hugs my heart
He walks with me all the days of my life…🙏🏽💛

When my emotional well runs dry
I thirst for the spiritual refreshment that can only come from my God
I hunger for His grace and mercy
Anxious to be fed
My heart craves to be filled with His unconditional love
The darkness in my spirit longs to be covered in His Light
The dry spaces of my soul need to be drowned in His goodness
I surrender myself to you Father
Placing all my trust in you
Please help me to appreciate even the roughest path in my journey
Help me to understand it is all part of your plan
So that I may weep only for a moment whilst knowing my joy cometh soon…

Trust in something greater than yourself!
