  •  …JUBILEE…

     To reflect upon my life is a deep and complex task.

    It requires complete surrender, to unveil this earthen mask.

    As I peel away the edges of this clay that stains my skin,

    I begin to see the beauty in the trials that plagued me within.

    You created a masterpiece in this feeble, arrogant soul.

    You rubbed away the calluses. You made my body whole.

    I dissembled the pieces of my pale and weary heart,

    You breathed into this vessel a beating, pumping start.

    You lined my veins with mercy. I eagerly flow your love.

    You are the master, the sonnet of life, and my beloved!

    My thoughts cannot stray from the forever Prince of Peace—

    Let my vanity lessen and your purity increase!

    I bow my body at the foot of your throne,

    My neck stoops down for I bring you cologne.

    Oils scented in sweetness, musk, and pure spice,

    I owe you everything. You are the Author of Life.

    I want to break the bondage that the enemy holds,

    And embrace your goodness in sheets of pure gold.

    Pouring this liquid and bathing your feet,

    I release the oppression that encircles in concrete.

    Abba I cry in the apex of the storm,

    Make me a teapot brimming to a boil—not lukewarm.

    I play on a harp of broken strings,

    Music--to you, sweet King of Kings!

    Skipping through the forest, may your leaves of green fall on me!

    I want to pick your graceful flowers and dance in jubilee.

    "Ah, how blessed the thought! GOD HIMSELF IS OUR INHERITANCE. Not golden harps. Not golden streets. Not walls of jasper or pearly gates. Not a cabin in the corner or a mansion over the hilltop. Not fluttering wings and a white nightgown with which to flit about over the Elysium hills of glory. NO! There is something deeper, more inward and rapturous - the possession of God. HEIRS OF G-O-D! Heirs of all the communicable glories of the divine nature and power. To know Him, to explore His Being, to live on His fullness, to discover new tracts and continents in the terra incognita of Godhead, to see His glory, to put on His mind, to be changed into His image, to wield His scepter - this is "the heritage of the servants of the Lord." Glory to God!"  

     

    "Jubilee is freedom! Jubilee is release! Jubilee is restoration! Jubilee means the regaining of the inheritance that was lost! The law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus makes us free from the law of sin and death!"
