I’ve stepped away…
Stepped away from the pad and the pencil that I used to sketch
the details of my future
Details that when reviewed look like mere stick figures
compared to the intricate work my Savior has created
His breath has created lasting brushstrokes sweeping
colorful hues across the years of my life
Hues that can only come from heaven’s paintbrush
A paintbrush where vibrant colors drip into the days, weeks,
and years of my life
Dripping into the crevices that I thought would never see
color, never see light
But now has been stained with God’s beauty
A beauty mark that will never fade, never diminish
And I’m left captivated
Captivated by where his hands can take me, and the light
that floods my eyes
Purging me of old habits and thoughts that once held me
captive
And I’m set free
Free to love God’s way
Free to see God’s way
Free to live God’s way… In Christ
All because I stepped away…
