My soul is downcast within me;
therefore I will remember you
from the land of the Jordan,
the heights of Hermon—from Mount Mizar.
Deep calls to deep
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me.
My heart is only adulterous all the time; it betrays me. My soul longs for the intimate embrace of the Infinite One, the Imminent Lover yet my affections devour the sweet, honey-soaked morsels of the immediate, the counterfeit. The essence of my being-- that cavernous void of limitless potential-- yearns for the inexhaustible depth and expanse of Glory; to swim in the grace of Him who is more just and more loving whose boundless mercy exceeds the grandeur of the sunrise, the majesty of the mountains, the elation of a baby's giggle.
Deep calls to deep.
Oh hear the cry of my heart: to know the richness of His Spirit in all things, at all times; to reflect the light of His face with such radiance that my skin becomes a translucent veil to His beautiful splendor. But this treacherous core in my inmost being swoons for the flash, neglecting the brilliant; chases the instant, over the Infinite.
This is where all wars originate. This is where the battle was won. On this ethereal plain the King was victorious and now beckons the allegiance of all who would be brave enough to cast aside their own affections-- their own lives-- to follow Him.
This is not a call to become a better me; a better you. This is not a call to simply change my mind; change your mind. This is a call to die.
My heart must be removed not renewed. My heart must be replaced anew and my life reformed into the likeness of the King who ransomed my life with His own blood. It is at His feet that I lay my sword and pledge not only my allegiance but my all- the very fabric of my being.
Jump, wandering pilgrim, into the dark unknown waters of His love and swim in the sea of His grace leaving behind the shallow existence of a lesser life for then you will live and know the Truth of reality for deep calls to deep.
