A Grand Ball

A gown of pure
FREEDOM
is what You have
given me to wear
as I dance with
You.

Today
I burned the dress
that I once wore,
the skirts were heavy with
unforgiveness, dependence,
silence, fear, avoidance -
CHAINS.

You've given me FREEDOM,
in its greatest purity:
unmixed,
uncompromised.

As I stepped into this new gown,
so light and soft and sweet,
I felt my beauty increase
as my heart longed only
to be absolutely
lovely in brokenness
for YOU.

Dance with me
sweet Lover of my soul,
wrap me in Your arms.
I never want to
miss a step
in this grand ball
for Your glory.
