When I look to Jesus {prophetic poem for you today}

When I look to Jesus I see that He already made me enough,
just as I am.

When I look to the world, even for a moment, I see I am never and
still not enough, and I have fear.
Fear of never being where I should be.
Fear for my children and their safe path.
Fear it will fall apart or even be ok, because there is so much.

Everywhere I turn my inability to keep up, catch up, make up or do enough
is highlighted
and I am drowning
before I even begin.

But when I look to Jesus,
my saviour Jesus.
The sweetness, love + eternal invite of Jesus.

My inability has been wiped and I am made enough.
I see I have been given power.
Authority.

Heavenly wonder.
And grace, upon grace.

I see He has my children, and me, safe in the palm of His hand,
and that He will not let go.

I see His word + way for us is true,
and will not fail.

I see He has chosen my son and daughter,
and in Him they are and will be
healed, cherished, set apart,
favoured, and powerful in the Kingdom of God.

I see His good good plans, and
know they are true.

I see life. Life abundantly. Joy.
Joy overflowing. Peace. Love.

And feet set on a path, and assignment for the King.

And in all of this, He gives me
vision. Big, beautiful
brushstrokes of all He has
for our lives,
for me,
for anyone who will run
to Him
and let Him be their hope.

And I see that this — this is truth,
this is reality, this is
what already is, and all I or any of us
have to do is keep going and rest,
because wherever we believe
will see the glory of the Lord.
(John 11:40)

What’s wild is I can shut my eyes to
all of that in a heartbeat if I choose.
I can turn it off like shutting down a TV.
Power → out.

And I can scramble once more to
find hope in the world, in my feed,
in an idea of reality, and what
circumstances should look like if
things were right.

I can let the light dim.
I can let vision fade.
I can let death, and not enough,
be my lens.

And if I continue to put my faith there,
make this world more real than the
one we cannot see,

I will see that death manifest,
and prove every fear and doubt
and insufficiency
right.

Even if by the world’s standards I am
doing it all, being it all, and I
have it all.

And so I will look once more to Jesus.
I will fix my eyes above.
I will set my gaze on things above.
I will lean to look higher.
And have Him be my path.

When my mind says “nothing is happening!”
I will return once more to vision,
and speak life and decree.

I will declare the Lord’s favour.
And call His Kingdom come.

And I will see the
goodness of the Lord manifest,
and His glory in our midst,

in the land of the living where He has
placed us.

I may never meet the standards I
choose for myself in the world.
But the things with Him are strangely
dim as soon as
you stop looking at them
and you just look to Him.

Child of God,
place your eyes back where
they belong,

and see once more your King.

In Him you have life,
and you have it abundantly.

Amen.

And,

The Boldness Reset is on sale for just this week!

Whether your business or ministry is in any around messaging, or your place as a leader is more behind the scenes, God MADE you to carry a bold voice.

It’s who you are because it’s who HE is.

Boldness is identity, and it’s right there in the place where you just say yes.

This is about obedience, not whether or not you feel you know how!

In fact I can tell you that ever piece of true fire I’ve released, which is really what caused right growth in the end, came from the “I’ve no idea how” or “I’m scared” place!

For the leader who is done second-guessing true identity, and ready to move in the fire and flow God has given them now!
