Holy Anointing.
In the morning as the sun rises,
May I choose Jesus.
May I choose Jesus as I walk to the pier,
Stepping into the boat of uncertainty,
The winds causing a drift from shore as the sun beams down.
I stand at the boats edge,
Wind pressing in on my face time and time again,
Just as the waves flow in and out upon the shore.
This rhythm of unison within the earth stilling the chaos of my mind.
Rain begins to drip from the skies,
Heaven opening up with gentle refreshment.
It is here that I am reminded that my boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places.
I am reminded that indeed I have a beautiful inheritance on the horizon.
I kneel and relax in the glory of it all.
Jesus meets my soul here.
As I choose more of Him, He never disappoints,
Overflowing me with water from the wellspring of life.
Waters breaking forth from my wilderness spirit,
Streams flowing in abundance for my dessert heart.
The Lord meets me here,
In His gentle anointing as He so graciously does.
The burdens of my soul, such lightness to the Lord.
For His light covers any ounce of darkness left within me.
My darkness had created a blindness in me.
Bitterness, a callous piece of my soul.
But, as the light enters in, my eyes are opened,
my bitterness overcome by waves of compassion,
an outpouring of good washing over my being.
I see the light, restoration, peace.
The triune nature of water wooing me to its sacred space.
God. Jesus. Spirit.
Almighty. Savior. Revealer.
Strength. Grace. Truth.
All is well now.
Beauty and waters surround me.
Wind embracing me tenderly,
Peace abounding,
Love anointing me here.
So God, might I stay right here with you awhile.
My heart still now, experiencing the fullness of You.
Eyes shifting into presence.
Bones cracking open for compassion,
Hands opening wide in gratitude,
Knees trembling at the sound of holy thunder rising up within me.
For the anointing, the filling, the renewing, the shifting and changing,
It all has purpose.
Great purpose indeed.
May I stay with You as long as I need.
And when I rise, may I rise ready to walk upon the waters,
Diving into the unknown, armored with grace.
Ready to plunge for the sake of the Kingdom.
I will stay here with you oh Holy God, until my heart reaches full surrender,
Until I am ready for the overflow,
Until I reach the point of diving in.
So, anoint me oh Lord.
Pour the oil,
Remind me of your blessing,
Your protection,
Your purpose over my life.
I am here for the filling to be emptied again.
What sweet mercies in the the waves of an anointing of love.
