I Live Outside

I Live Outside

In a quiet and dark space I pondered on your magnificent grace. For when you rescued me, we exchanged the faces of shame. You took upon yourself my sins and careless heart and handed me pure love and restored this sinful heart. No longer will I live locked inside my selfish world. For You have brought me outside as a billboard of your call. The call to all who live enchanted by their deeds, mesmerized by their needs, no one else could they see. Now that I live outside I can see all there is to do,  be gentle kind and true; have faith and compassion too. Build and not destroy those you've assigned to me. Revive, encourage and make whole with God's restoring Word.

Now that I live outside of the hole I once was in, I can call, "Hey you my friend! come out and live again. For this life that Christ has given is of freedom, adventure and true joy. No comparison can there be to a life that is now worth living. Oh, that you may live this life with me, for no longer do I need to hide from fear and shame, nor anxieties untamed. For this life I have been given was paid with the highest cost. He laid on that  mangled cross to give way to all once lost.  Oh, that you may listen to the call of all those living this miraculously journey written with a never ending finish.
