2/28 IAM: Rewarded
I look TO Jesus. / “Why aren’t they laying them at **Your** feet?” / He winks / “They can’t see me. They only hear me. But they can see you…”
-
2/27 IAM: Well-Nourished (Well-Borne 5/5)
I stand in the heart of darkness / With the darkest of hearts / And let their evil osmotically pull / The grace of God from me // Absorbing their sins / Filling them with Hope…
-
2/26 IAM: Well-Served (Well-Borne 4/5)
I see a well / Capped / To contain the raging fire within / That is somehow also living water // I look for Jesus. / He looks at me / And smiles / “Will you open the gate?”
-
2/25 IAM: Well-Understood (Well-Borne 3/5)
I trip over the edge of something / And fall into emptiness / I am tempted to curse / But instead… / I look for Jesus.
-
2/24 IAM: Well-Versed (Well-Borne 2/5)
This is insane / I have no idea where I am / What kind of tunnel this is / How far away He is // But He knows…
-
2/23 IAM: Well-Founded (Well-Borne 1/5)
I presume I am being sent to look for something / But I have forgotten what // Either they really trust me / Or I am the most expendable…
-
2/22 IAM: Passing Time
I wonder / If I need to help Him / By pointing out things / In His blind spot
-
2/20 IAM: Present
And when I see Him / I become happy too // Why didn’t I do this sooner? // Why don’t I do this always? //
-
2/20 IAM: O-So-Positive
I ask: why doesn’t everyone receive from you? / Why do they have to go through me? / I am such a poor Reflection / I weep
-
1/19 IAM: Remembering to Call
I look for Jesus. / I don’t see Him. / But I see a phone / On the table next to me…
-
2/18 IAM: Drunk with Joy (War of The Dance, Part 3 of 3)
Maybe I’m just deluded / I could be throwing away my reputation / My identity / Everything I spent my life building // My company will fire me / My family disown me / My friends despise me / (Again)
-
2/17 IAM: Song-Strong (War of The Dance, Part 2 of 3)
The song Jesus is playing on His trumpet / Amidst the battlefield of life / Not a battle cry / Not reveille / A love song…
-
2/16 IAM: Praise-Angry (War of The Dance, Part 1 of 3)
Our forces are scattered / Our leaders incompetent / Supplies unreliable / Mission vital but unclear // It is hell…
-
2/15 IAM: Re-Assembled
I am… a crowd of midgets / Deeply angry / Superficially happy // We appear calm and peaceful / As long as we keep our distance…
-
2/14 IAM: The Rest of Glory
He is walking around me / Clothed in white armor / Keeping the darkness away // No // **_Pushing_** the darkness away…
-
2/13 IAM: Intimately Known
I look for Jesus. / He is there / Exactly where He is supposed to be / Standing at the altar // Except… / He isn’t looking at me / Or for me // My heart breaks…
-
2/12 IAM: Super Vulnerable! (INRI, Part 6 of 6)
I take the purple sash from my hips / And tie it around my neck / Like a superhero cape // The crown of thorns / Stays on my waist / Like Batman’s utility belt…
-
2/11 IAM: A Walking Paradox (INRI, Part 5 of 6)
Behind me / Are natural enemies / Predator and pray / Villain and victim // I cannot control them / Though I have been fool enough to try…
-
2/10 IAM: Faith-Fully Clothed (INRI, Part 4 of 6)
He wraps the sash around my waist / And belts it on with His crown of thorns
-
2/9 IAM: Rightly Judged (INRI, Part 3 of 6)
The (s)word of Jesus pierces my heart / Slicing through my umbilical cord / Pinning me to the ground // I want to scream / But there is no pain / Rather… relief?
Radically Happy
