My Heart, His Vessel

My Heart, His Vessel is a collection of poems deriving from the deepest part of my heart. It is my heart, opened wide for the whole world to see.

God wooed me with His love and His sacrifice to save us all. And that love touched my heart so deeply, I couldn't resist opening my heart a little bit each time.

I first learned of His love, and that allowed Him into a part of my heart I didn't know

existed, and then He put the medicine that only He could give to a deeply wounded

heart that had festering wounds of the past. I found myself at first wanting to run

from the wounds of that little girl in me, like a child who pulls back their hand, not

wanting you to touch their sore. But you must first clean the wounds before you put

the medicine on it, and that is what God did in me; He cleaned my heart and applied

the medicine only God can give.

He healed that little girl in me and allowed the woman to run free. You will experience

my growth as a poet and my growth in the knowledge of who God is and what He has

for us. As I opened my heart to Him, He took a broken vessel and healed the cracks

that once defined who I was and created a vessel that has His mending touch of love

and sealed it with a bond that can never be broken. Now the cracks are healed, and

you will see with each poem a river of living water flowing through me for Him.
