Notes About The Poem

You know, the LORD is the ONLY ONE WHO can do such
a work inside of a, "clay vessel" as all humans are.  If HE
changes us and fixes us so that others complement,
HE alone should receive the GLORY!

 

Hidden Treasures

Hidden Treasures

In your heart I have placed hidden treasures
to be revealed only in My time, 
for certain doors were kept shut for a purpose
till all things I had to set were in line.

For child, you are My chosen vessel
one more rare, My child, than even you know,
for great plans I have prepared for your life just ahead
and soon for Me you will go.

Then child, all of these hidden treasures
that I have stored down deep in your heart,
will burst forth from you, My precious one
giving others as well a beautiful new start.

So be glad for the time that you have had to wait
for I’ve done a mighty work from within, 
and soon you will see my blessings pour forth
and thousands of souls you will win.

But My love is the chiefest of treasures
and it has saturated the inside of your heart, 
pouring forth now from your pen and your paper
giving the whole world a blessed new art.
