[I Love Bagpipes]

Where to post? I default to the TWI forum.

Yesterday talking with a friend who also recently left TWI, we discussed free will and love. I thought of this poem. I wrote it years and years ago, probably about 25 years ago. Whew!!!!

The Willing Heart

My entire soul vibrates with the life of Christ within,

Life....

All powerful,

All vivacious,

All emcompassing,

with every vibrant hue.

Like a precious gem sparkling and glowing with Light's reflection,

I am the reflection of the Giver of Light,

The Giver of Life,

The Giver of Love.

Within every cell of my being He fills.

Within every cell He is always eager to teach me;

Ever ready and waiting

for my heart to be willing.

To Him the willing heart is without price;

For within that heart He is able to give

and from that heart receive.

In His great love He gave me freedom of will

and the liberty to choose.

He doesn't force or coerece; but rather,

He coaxes with a tender embrace,

Encourages with a loving hand;

He entreats and patietly awaits my decison.

What great joy must fill the Father's heart

when His man believes by the free choosing of his will.

What love beyond must be within Him....

and thus within me.

I simply need to choose to believe.

For within me is the precious gem

sparkling and glowing

with the Giver of Light's reflection.
