Each of us is a sword made of poetry. God picks us up to enjoy the flash of His Son on our blades. Each of us has unique things written on the sword of ourselves. God wields us for His Own purposes and pleasure. We yield our hilts to the King’s hand.
My life verses are written there, as well as expression and identity.
There are unique aspects emphasized about God through each person. Each person highlights and reflects some special part of who God is. As art reflects the artist, so we reflect God, Our Creator! We are His workmanship created with a path in Him which is eternal and inviolable-Ephesians 2:10! Poems pronounced in time, and then beyond. He is the one who pronounces us, for His Pleasure of expression. We are His images, His expressions. It is an autobiography about God and His Love.
Yet, many people do not allow their sword to become illuminated by His Glory. Hence they do not really know themselves. We are the ones who have been illuminated by His Son’s Life in us, and are now usable swords in God’s Hand. We are the ones becoming known even as we know. Search and know me, You who made me.
Illuminate my poem for your own pleasure. Take me in Your hand and wield me as You wish, oh Lord. Pronounce my syllables with Your Breath, oh God–do Your grand poetry reading without resistance in me. Let Your Breath flutter awake my consonants and vowels, for Your Joy. Just the Joy of God’s reading, out loud. For we are also Your words to be pronounced in mid air. We are your art to be beheld, your swords to be wielded by You alone. We are Yours to enjoy, as You Desire!
