I have a friend who has a precious walk with the Lord, but a hard one. The Lord has called her to stir up the soil, plant the seed and water it. As you know this is not always easy, sometimes the soil is very hard, cracked and dried up. She encountered this on a visit recently to a dear friend. She was ridiculed and made fun of for her walk with the Lord. She was able to see the Lord move in a mightly way just before she left this friend. The Lord has at least got the attention of this friend. She ask if I might ask the Lord if He had a poem that would speak to this person and when I prayed and ask for the words, this is what the Lord put upon my heart for this precious person.

THE UNCOVERING OF A PRECIOUS LIGHT

The beautiful flowers in the desereted fields
bloom with all their might.
Even though no one is around to see this beautiful sight.

I relish in this beauty as I know it is there.
The same is with you my precious flower,
you can bloom if only you dare.

You think no one is around to see the heart
wrapped with care.
You feel that life is so hard and completely unfair.

My child the layers around that heart needs to be taken down.
My arms are outstretched, overflowing with love to be found.

Don't be afraid of hurts that will pierce the heart.
Your hand in mine, I will lead the way for a fresh new start.

Stir up the joy I have placed in your soul.
Place you head upon my shoulder and a new life I will mold.

You have many I choose for you to show
love of a special kind.
Help these loved ones the way to my
heart they can find.

You are looked up to as a woman who can persevere.
No one realizes the hurts are very severe.

But my daughter, that is why I am knocking on your door.
No longer in your heart these hurts will you store.

I died upon the cross for you, lay your burdens at my feet.
In my loving care and with arms around you,
will I keep.

My daughter I am here for you and will
always light your way.
Under My protective wings and on
My path you will stay.

Fill each day with thoughts from above.
I am only a thought away and peace will
desend upon wings of a Dove.

The light will grow brighter as you
reach out to me each day.
Help those I have put in your care
and be the light that brightens their way.
