softening

At any moment, the road to take to return to connection with your essence is the road of SOFTENING. To enter and embody your power, always first soften back, then let the power move through you. Notice if you’re straining, efforting, trying hard, or driving forward. Use this as an invitation to soften back into yourself, breathe, then move again from your power.

May the hardened stone of my heart
Melt like lemons drops
in the rain of Your grace.
May the jagged edges of my soul
Become soft like the clouds of the spring sky
with the whispers of Your love.
May the harsh judgements of my willful mind
Become mushy like the mud of the spring snow
as I wallow in Your forgiveness.
May the vinegar in my angry tongue
be replaced with dark chocolate orange drops kissed with honey
as I encounter Your voice calling within me.
Bring a Spring season of my heart
preparing me for new growth
rebirth of love
hope
for the amazing watercolor world around me.
May I be part of new and abundant life
The coming summer harvest of golden grains
Bread for the starving world
Melt me
Becoming every day the hands, heart and soul of my Savior
May I truly be
light and salt
in this dark and cold,
starving and barren
broken and desperate
world

I need You to soften my heart,
To break me apart.
I need You to open my eyes,
To see that You’re shaping my life.

All I am,
I surrender.

Give me faith to trust what You say
That You’re good, and Your love is great.
I’m broken inside, I give You my life.

I need You to soften my heart,
To break me apart.
I need You to pierce through the dark
And cleanse every part of me.

All I am,
I surrender.

Give me faith to trust what You say
That You’re good, and Your love is great.
I’m broken inside, I give You my life.

I may be weak, but
Your Spirit’s strong in me.
My flesh may fail, but
My God You never will.
