The Anointing

There is an anointing, a high call from Heaven on your life. You know it. You've known it all along. Since you were that little kid staring up at your bedroom ceiling with tears streaming, staining shaking shoulders and a broken will. Layered under sharp-edged whispers and shouts, scarred heart tissue, oh and that lake of tears and sweat that you meant to revisit when time became more available, there is a knowing that you were designed for a purpose of great design.

Well that shaking-shouldered, starry-eyed little you had it right all along. The Great Designer is better than you imagined, and, so then must be His earth-shaking, starry-handed plans for you, Beloved. I'll call you Beloved, as that's your first name. Beloved, He's breathing on you, whispering a beckon-song to return. To create. To abide. For only in returning, creating, and abiding in The Secret Place with this God will you walk in the anointing.

He'll have a jar there. It's filled with the tears you thought had disappeared into tired old pillowcases. He'll call you by your true name. He'll teach your soul to surrender to a Love so big and free, it'll break you into a million tiny fragments and then set you free to be whole again. He'll have a table set with the food of Heaven; nothing else will satisfy you again. Perfect. You'll be lost to the pleasures of this world and awakened to the purest freedom that you thought only existed for Baggins, Wallace and his warriors, or the house of Pevensie.

Is it worth it?

I'm glad you asked.

Yes. It's called Abundant life. Eternal life, now. It's freedom in purest form. It's intimacy with Intimacy Himself. Believe me, the cost is heavy and the road often lonely.

Yet, the reward is destiny.

For the free-winged few who walk out their destiny know they must count the cost. They must abide in The Secret Place.
