Encouragement

Becoming

becoming
becoming like Him
becoming a life lived in and through Him

the working
the working out of our faith
the working through and towards reconciliation – rather
a recognition of the reconciliation laid freely before us
by the surrender and sacrifice of the spotless lion-lamb
the wholly righteous King

becoming
becoming like Him in rest
resting and moving with Him – Holy Spirit
breath and righteous guide

the breaking
the breaking off of lies perceptions facades
the breaking down of calluses and these gilded straw palaces
​we build – oh holy and merciful are His plans
to build in us a temple for Holy Spirit
to build in us something lasting and genuine and good
as He is good

becoming
becoming like Him in wisdom and patience
becoming open to the process of growth
and the training discipline and grace in the journey
to know Him as sovereign and seek first His kingdom
and seek first His face

becoming
becoming like Him in humility
Lord by Your grace alone
