Enflame our hearts O God
armour
humans have become so used to masks
wearing them 24/7
covering what’s underneath
some may be physical,
most aren’t.
a smile when deep down you’re breaking down
a laugh when you’re hanging on by a thread
a grin when waking up every day is the hardest decision you make
all subtle
but all there
a secret sort of armour
that He will only know
if you stayed long enough
to let Him take that armour off.
dented
i know i shouldn’t
shouldn’t let Him in
dent the armour that i’ve so purposefully built
years of trauma
of strengthening its bones
solidifying it till it melted into me
and even i could no longer see
where flesh ended
and metal began
but every soft word
every sly smile
every comforting hand
blow a dent in my metal
the heat
melting it
section by section
until He finally reaches the end
He finally found my flesh.
blows
it took Me hours
days
months
but I didn’t stop
couldn’t stop.
I kept trying
a soft look
a sly smile
a comforting hand
trying to melt it
to dig behind the metal
to reach the flesh I knew lay beneath
flesh she was so desperately trying to hide
until one day
My fingers were met with a warm flush
instead of a cold surface.
she meets My eyes
a smile spreading across her flushed cheeks
her fingers reaching across
expecting ice
and being greeted with blaze.
freed
i am melting
i am burning
i am ablaze.
ablaze for Him.
iron no longer clings to my skin
shattering the bones underneath
metal no longer cages me in
abolishing all my chances of freedom
instead
i am filled with Warmth
with Light
with Fire.
and i can’t contain it
can’t control it
i need to spread it
show it to the world
i need to set the world on fire with His light.
