Come break the chains, the chains that hinder love
All that remains of yester-year.
Come break the chains, the chains that pull me down,
Come break the chains and draw me near
And let Your fire burn consuming me,
Let Your jealous flame come take away, everything
Let Your fire burn consuming me
Let Your jealous flame come and write Your name upon my heart
'Til all that remains is the light of Your countenance
And I will be satisfied when I awaken, as a lover of You."
~ Misty Edwards, "Come Break the Chains"
This is the process I am in right now.
My will and plans,
Pride, focus on self,
Fear, doubt,
Dependency on anything except God,
The need to have a backup plan,
My need to understand,
These things are being burned.
Faith when I can't see,
dependency on Him alone,
A vessel that God can flow through,
Trust rooted in love,
Feet that He can direct,
A heart that is set on Him.
Love pouring out.
Selflessness,
A mind that thinks of others.
These will be built in the end so that I can arise as a lover of God!
My faith is being stretched, my mind wants to focus on what I can see,
but my Lover is calling my name, asking me to look beyond how I have
been programed and into His beautiful face. When I do that, this seems
easy.
I'm so in love. So hungry, so in need.
He is my best friend!
So faithful to meet me where I am.
I am loved by the King!
Within two weeks I will receive a miracle!
