Die stilte van die druppels wat so saggies
Die droog en dors aarde tref...
Dieper en dieper trek die geneesende druppels deur...
Deur al die gif van my menslike ambisie
Verby al die mure van my opgeboude hartseer & pyn
Ver verby al my woede deur die jare wat diep en donker begrawe le
Suiwerende druppels deur tot die plek van my diepste skaam
Hier staan ek, maar net 'n mens in die storm van heling
"Give to me clean hands and a pure heart and
Renew a right spirit within me"
Nes David was dit my plig aan U
Was my met U Woord & vul my met U lig
Veilig toegevou in U hande is ek suiwer, skoon & uitgekies
Hier staan ek, 'n mens, 'n kind, 'n vrou van God

This reminds me of how God taught me love when I first met Him. When your heart isn't used to love it breaks the moment love touches it: not a bad break, more like a rock would crack open willingly when it finds out that there is something beautiful that wants to enter it and knowing that it will have to break for it to enter it willingly destroys itself; knowing that this beautiful thing will not harm it - no matter what. It's a beautiful heartbreak, one worth having.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautifully written showing how God purifies and how willing the heart becomes to be pure - to be like Him - the One we adore. You love that which you admire and want to be. But most of all we love Him because He loves us when in truth it isn't logical for Him to love us this way - the kind of love that breaks your heart because of it's purity and intensity.
Beautifully written. En, by the way, baie impressive afrikaans :) Ek dink nie eers ek sal moed he om 'n poem in afrikaans te probeer skryf nie oi
