Upon Me

 

The Spirit of God
is upon Me

for I have been
anointed

to preach good tidings
to the poor

and heal the
broken-hearted.

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the LORD has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the broken-hearted ,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound . . .”

Isaiah 61:1. NKJV

Liberty

 

I will
set you free

from the bondage
you have known

to be
at liberty

to live for Me
and grow.

You establish my liberty.

“I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying, ‘At the end of seven years let every man set free his Hebrew brother, who has been sold to him; and when he has served you six years, you shall let him go free from you.’ Then you recently turned and did what was right in My sight – every man proclaiming liberty to his neighbor . . .” Jeremiah 34:13,14,15 NKJV

Liberty

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.”  Galatians 5:1

My youngest likes to dress up plastic horses.  Sometimes I’m not sure if I’ll manage to get them undone again.

Lord, please come and undo me once again from what I’ve gotten tangled in.  And here’s a simple poem . . .

Please Undo Me

I stand
like Lady Liberty
awash
in His mercy
arms raised
to the One who frees
who knows
how to undo me.
