There is a King inside of me.
I feel Him periodically throughout my day.
He calls me to daily lay down my life.
I sense the heavy peace from this Lamb.
A peace that melts away every worry and stress from life.
He is meek and lowly.
Within Him are the waters of the Spirit.
Within Him is the wealth of eternal life.
The heavenly currency that flows love.
“Die to self-centeredness with Me on the cross.” He beckons.
His voice ushers me with pure, life-giving intimacy.
When I lie down with Him and rest my head on His wooly belly I am poured upon with grace.
I see Heaven’s Kingdom and I arise inside the heart a Lion.
He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
True and unfeigned worship bellows from my soul like a rushing river and surrounds me in unstoppable power.
This power is the Lion.
Amen, this is the result of true worship.
It is not the singing of songs or the lifting up of hands.
It is a humility so deep, an intimacy so binding, a spiritual work so divine, that your life is laid down with Christ.
It is the same love He has for you.
He has hidden Himself in my heart….and I am learning to hide myself in His.
This Lamb lays within my chest so meek and lowly.
He says to me, “you can trust my heart.”
In the deep alcove of His being, all my fears are cast out.
There is no resurrection without death.
In the eyes of Jesus, I see both.
I experience both.
How low is this death, how high is this resurrection life!
