Deeper

There's an amazing song by Marvin Sapp entitled, "Deeper" that has been hovering over my mind and heart. These words have found a home- nestled deep in my inner soul.

My blogs usually have a poetic nature- that's intentional.

Today, I simply want to pour.....

So I pray that God opens your heart to feel the fire in my speech and the passion from the ink of a pen that can't stop dripping.

..your cup runneth over, Get full...as I pour from the well of my spirit.

*

In my heart, there's a yearning for depth, a covering, and sweet communion.

There's a passion for intimacy, growth, and spiritual development.......

This thirst.... for uninterrupted oneness with God.

This zealous appetite for depth of purpose- but not knowing how to quench my thirst for the desired closeness I need to get there: the "Elisha" appetite for the covering of a purpose-driven "Elijah".

This "Timothy walk" alongside a passion-filled Paul.

The melody of " Deeper" flows like rivers to my heart.

Marvin said it best:

" There is a call that resounds in my ear.. it's calling me deeper,..."

" See the place that I'm in ....can no longer contain...my destiny"

''...the call inside of me.... is calling me Deeper, Deeper, Deeper."

*

These words are wealthy. - Go listen.

This deepness is a yearning for unbroken fellowship with Christ, His voice, and the Holy Spirit.

This deepness yearns for "the me" that I see as a partner in purpose ....as a helpmeet to those that are aligned and assigned to me.

Here's what I know.....you don't choose your path.

You either SURRENDER to your path or SUCCUMB to unfulfillment.

You surrender to the pruning and the process...

...but the path, the purpose- was predestined.

Ecclesiastes 6: 10: ''Everything has already been decided. It was known long ago what each person should be. So there's no arguing with God about your destiny."

If I can be honest, sometimes I feel spiritually fatigued.

The fight to become.... is quite lonely.

Sometimes you just don't have the words to describe what's transpiring on the inside of you.

It's revealing. It's restoring. It's restless. It refining.

It's a voice that says, " I'm getting you R-E-A-D-Y"

It's "reckless love" :" It chases me.......I couldn't earn it. I don't deserve it."

*

But the refining is producing a response on the inside of me that says...

" Yes... a scared, uncertain, yes.."

A yes that wants the compass of the Holy Spirit and a human covering.

*

Dear God,

I don't always know what you're doing....although sometimes I feel in my heart I can see how you're compassing me. .

But I know that I'm in the hands of a Master Potter.

Deeper. I'm Anchored.

You are my Safe Harbor.

Love,

"Clay"
