These Things

These things are always different than I expect.
They're never like Disney movies -
Which wrap themselves up so cleanly by the end
And which make so much chronological sense.

These things tug and pull and tangle the heartstrings -
And the only way out is Up
For the eyes of Love are well acquainted with this journey.
He has climbed the Great Mountains of the Heart
And led so many others over them time and time again.

These things - yes, even these things -
Will refine my Fearing heart into Grace and Glory.

Reflections on my personal journey - paralleled with the journey described in Hannah Hurnard's "Hinds' Feet on High Places"
