lumps in my soul
Category: Life

 

in a down time, in a low place, i picked up a pen and put it to paper and in the twelve lines you'll see below, i was transformed form down to up and from low to high and i believe it has everything to do with God and so very little to do with me.  See, i picked up and stirred a gift (talent) that was within me.  A long time ago before i even recognized the Gift-Giver, i recognized i had a gift for writing.  that gift or talent is in need of polishing and refining so i'm doing my best to "stir up that gift" that is within me.  Below is the unedited, unpolished, unrefined twelve-line poem that transformed me as i obeyed God. that day.  I share it in an effort to encourage you to search out your gift (talent), remove it from it's shelf and begin to use it and see what happens!
lumps in my soul

there are lumps in my soul
where i've become hard
like a cancer's invasion
hidden from the Lord

and with His great search light
He illuminates the dark
and with His gentle scapel
He removes the hard part

then my soul becomes soft
as God wants it to be
and once again I'm free
to be one with my Maker and me
