Fly

Fly
My dream flew away today,
What I long for will never be
The more I have tried to hold onto it,
The more it has tried to get away.
My dream has awaken
Stirred my heart to make it come true
But what I perceive is only fantasy
It cannot come true until I let it fly away---
Until I surrender it, it will remain caged and hostile
Until I let It fly away, God cannot un-break my heart
When I realized I was clinging too hard, white-knuckled and sorrowful
God spoke to me and comforted me, reassuring me He will always fulfill
My dream, but not always in the container I try to put them in---
I don’t like to feel rejection, and I am sure that no one does
But the more I am rejected, the more I long to be loved
Lord, restore my heart, clean out my dirty soul
My biggest dream is to please You, not have Your rejection upon me
I realized today that my dream flew away, but it was long before today
I was just caging it up, hoping if I opened the door, it would not fly away
Rejection at its worst---Jesus is close to me now
Pleading, trying to understand why, finally surrendering
And letting go---
Fly away dream, fly away
In that flight, that dream takes shape, and begins to grow
And someday will fly back to me in a different container, and then I can
Soar with it---
Even though I grieve now, someday I will rejoice and be thankful.
I hope someday comes soon.
Please Lord, let it come soon.
I do not want to grieve forever, I want my longing fulfilled as You promise.
Amen.
