If you want to know //

If you want to know, I'll let you know:

I don't know all the things.

But I'll let you know the things I do.

 

If you want to know, I’ll let you know:

Everyone is not permitted admission to your heart.

You should love all.

But that is an outward flow. 

Do not allow whatever comes along the current to rush IN to your soul.

Do not let it be flooded by well-wishers in disguise.

Do not even let it be dripped on

By less than magnificent things.

Your heart. Your soul.

Is a sanctuary for the King of Kings.

Decorate it carefully

And dutifully

With wisdom

Patience

Truth

Honor

Humility

Purity

Peace

And other things that are fit

For the sanctuary of His spirit.

Then it will become so full

of His true treasures

That they'll turn into an outpouring current 

Which will be far stronger than anything  

That could try to come rush in against it.

 

If you want to know, I’ll let you know:

We were born broken.

We will feel broken.

But It is a lie that you must continue to live in that brokenness.

It is also a lie that you are the one who is supposed to get yourself out of it.

 

If you want to know, I’ll let you know:

We look for so many things to help us feel whole.

No matter what or who that is

It will not work.

It will not work.

It will not work.

It might work for a while.

But it will wear off

And wear us down all the more.

So ask your Father to piece together the brokenness

smooth out your rough edges

and fill in the cracks

the gaping caverns of your soul.

Even if someone else offers to hold your heart.

They simply will not be able to. 

Tell them no thank you, not yet.

And be wise enough

To let first, your Father alone

make you whole.

 

If you want to know, I’ll let you know:

Before you believe someone who says

"You are the most beautiful"

"You are more than enough"

"I never want to leave you"

"I don’t mind your brokenness" 

You must know it is your Creator who said those things first.

And we must not just know

But we MUST believe it with every ounce of our soul.

Because any other human

And their words

Can be taken away

But God

And His words

Cannot be.

 

If you want to know, I'll let you know:

I don't know all the things.

But I'll let you know the things I do.
