Go.
She sits, with this look of absolute delight. Her face glows
and it’s obvious something is going on. She looks different, she has this spark.
There is this cheeky, wild, wonderful sense about her. And it draws us in. It’s
so … so … so … majestic. Like a dramatic transformation has occurred, from the
inside out. Her eyes shine, with a depth that just can’t be explained.
It’s
like she’s been stripped bare of the guilt and shame of the past, and all she
can see is what’s ahead; a glorious future. Just looking at her makes me want
to dance, to jump, to spin in circles, to do cartwheels, to sing loud.
What she’s
got, she’s exuding, and it’s contagious. I want that, more than anything, right
at this moment, I want THAT!
She’s been restored, renewed, redeemed, and she
knows it, she gets it … like … REALLY gets it! And it shows, it shows in her
eyes, in her smile, in her countenance. Joy.
“Restore unto me the joy of my salvation, and renew a right
spirit within me”
Stop.
Today I'm linking up with Lisa-Jo Baker for five minute Friday, a bunch of people write for five minutes on a prompt word (Joy), 5 minutes only, no editing, no perfecting, just real and raw as it comes.
"A cheeky, wild, wonderful sense..." Love that! When I think about the grace I've been shown, and forgiveness, I feel kind of cheeky and wild. It's amazingly freeing, isn't it? God is good all the time!
ReplyDeleteYes!!! So so freeing janet! SO good!
