Undone

October 31, 2016 By Juanita Ryan 2 Comments

I am not so much growing
and developing,

as being undone,
reduced.

Unlike machines taken apart,
or sauces cooked down,

I have the capacity
to horde my dragon treasure
and resist what feels like loss.

But the gentle Un-Maker
is decades patient—
daily persistent—

working in me
to loosen my grip,
lighten my load.

Elementals. Essentials.
Let all else go.

    God Morning Juanita…
    The Gentle Un-maker… I LOVE this Name for my Jesus my Redeemer! Like His chastening is always for my good so is His “un-making”. so many years of distorted thinking and wrong beliefs about my Only True Hope. I have so much to learn still yet today I look at this path of un-making as an exciting breaking out of a dark cocoon of enemy deceit. In God’s love letter to us and your writings layer of after layer of the cocoon is being gently unmade. The journey is not always easy and surely not pain free but the blessings and freedom that comes with each dissolving layer in nothing less than Divine deliverance. Once again, I am so grateful God’s Spirit led me to find your blog, your ministry and your servant heart!!! May He continue to reveal Himself to both of us Sister of the Heart!
