Isaiah 6:5-8
"
So I said: "Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts." Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth with it, and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged." Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: "Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?" Then I said, "Here am I! Send me.""~-~-~-~-~
A burning coal
Upon my mouth…
Cleanse me
Wake within me passionate flames
Show me what it's like to feel joy
Peace
Love
True love
Love for those who beat me down
Who spit on my words
Who laugh at my earnestness
Who jeer at my love for You
Why do people jeer at love?
How far have we slipped
that we tear down others because they love?
It's hard to love
Hard because it hurts
Because callous words tear apart those who love
Far more than those who hate
Does Satan laugh at those who love?
Because he knows that their love
Will bring them terrible pain?
How much pain You must feel…
You died because of your love
You were beaten and spat on
Your blood flowed freely from Your torn flesh
But this physical pain cannot possibly match the pain we bring to You
I'm so sorry Daddy
Forgive me God
My Lover
My Friend
Forgive me
Amen
