Lean in

Jesus said to lean into the season
So, that's what I'll do
I'll lean into the pain
Into the hurt and the wounds

I'll lean into the unknown
The questions and the hoping
I'll lean into the silence
The whisper and the breathing

I'll lean in.

I'll lean into His kindness
His voice of truth
His voice of justice
His nature that's unmoveable, unchangeable, eternal.

I'll listen to what He's saying now
Because He's speaking now.

I won't miss it.
I won't rush it.
I won't wish it away.

Now.
I'll lean into the now.
Because He's here in the now.
So, there's good in the now.
So, I'm held in the now.
Now.

I'll lean in.
I'll receive the promises.
I'll take joy in the waiting.
In the pruning and refining.
In the releasing
In the undoing
In the breaking
In the surrender.

Because He's doing something good.
Something utterly, utterly beautiful.
Something that, if I stay,
If I let Him have His way,
If I sow in tears and let Him have His reward
He'll do it.
He'll do all of it.

He'll have His good pleasure.

His glory.
His glory will reign.
In me. In this. In then.

So, I'll let Him.
I'll let Him have His way.

And I'll stay.
I'll breathe.
And I'll lean in.
