The world has made me strong
Thousands of layers of muscle to reach the girl God knew
Defenses engaged
Heart Caged in a Garden of Sunflowers
Demonizing the weak
Rebuking the soft
Blindly morphed into hard bodies
Impenetrable
Parading tough
Life is not enjoyable here
Lacking abundance and light
Dry skies while flowers mourn
Hearts thirst for the water that gives life
Here comes the Gardner what will He do?
“The Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the hearts of your descendants, and you will love him with all your heart and all your soul so that you will live.”
Deuteronomy 30:6 CSB
“A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.” Ezekiel 36:26
God is Gardner
The heart of stone is dead to the living God
This heart of flesh is alive
This hardness is against Almighty God The fabric of the heart of flesh is responsive to His wind.
So I declare
I am soft
I am gentle
My heart is not made of stone
I am kind
I am patient
A river of peace flows through me
Callousness cannot grow on me
I am weak
In this I find strength.
I am sensitive to the whisper of His voice
I am impressionable
I can love well and deeply
This world cannot throw layers on my magnificent design.
So I declare
I am soft.
I am gentle
My heart is not made of stone

THOSE DECLARATIONS!!! #LOVINGIT!!! As I neared the end of this work I realized that it was much like taking all the power from the world’s and/or enemy’s hand. ‘I’M telling you that I am weak and am made strong.IM telling you that am impressionable,but how could you know that and not influence me to greatness. IM sensitive to the One whose whisper can fill my ears and lungs.’
