Who is the color in your world? Who is your found when you have all but lost your way? Have you ever been under a spell? Some might call it infatuation. Others might say it’s just a crush. Maybe it’s an addiction. What is this strange affliction?
Your brain will tell you it’s impossible to last. Your heart will deny this and just nervously laugh. Words like forever and always follow words like love and be with and follow. Who has the capacity to change you? Who changes your direction?
Who leaves you tangled and blue? Who lies to you as smooth as silk but cuts your heart like glass? Who blows in and out of your life like the breeze? Who (or what) do you remember when you try to forget? Who’s more alive then instead of now? Watch for the subtle soul stealer who charms with a word, mesmerizes with beauty, or drops anchor with a memory, all unleashing a torrent of feeling? Who haunts you?
Life. It’s a mystery. Do we master our fate with our mind, or helplessly submit to the choices of our heart? (Isn’t that biology?) Maybe we’re all drifters, tossing and turning between possibility and stability. Right and wrong. Deception and deliverance. Past and future. Life and death. Fear and faith.
Are you singing praises today? Or are you singing the blues?
Wherever life’s journey takes you, tread and choose carefully. And may your heart be filled and continually replenished with all that cannot be taken away, even if you give it all away for free.
Keep me safe, my God,
for in you I take refuge. Psalm 16:1
