freedom

“The Nursery”

| Laura Lee Bonde

thank God my past is dead
and my heart is new

I love when I meet people
and let them know me
and they say
I never would’ve guessed

the gift of becoming love
is that you have your whole life
to love others well

which creates healing
soothes discomfort
opens the door
to be set free

life’s taken a turn
of clarity
instead of being swept off my feet
who can I sweep off their feet

seven children
bore four
killed three

oh how I love
who’s in front of me
and Who’d inside of me
loving those in front of Him

The Second Adam

Lately, I’ve heard a lot of negative things about relationships, to the point where I’m not sure I ever WANT one, but then I stopped myself from agreeing with everything I’ve heard.

Not all relationships HAVE to be bad. I totally don’t believe that.

If you take two people who are totally free and they fall in love, I believe the good times will definitely outweigh any bad, IF there are any bad at all.

From what I’ve seen, many relationships struggle because the people themselves struggle.

I mean, really, if being in a relationship ensures I’ll go through constant gloom and doom…no, thank you. I’m fine being in perfect relationship with God, walking with Him in the cool of the day twenty-four/seven. If a man wants to join in on this perfect relationship, it better be because He’s walking in the same garden.
