It Is A Tree of Life 

“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭13:12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/114/pro.13.12.NKJV

There’s a place where you can’t just pretend 
Your heart doesn’t lie and it doesn’t quite lend 
Itself to the grit and bare kind of air 
It knows the difference between the real deal and the counterfeit 
So when the counter is spent 
It’s got nothing left 
But a faint cry and a memory of breath
This is the place of the hope less…

And yet… here is where the Author fashions another title 
The Finisher of our faith 
Because in the beginning of ten ten is only one fate 
However, the end, my friend 
Is one of good news 
The kind that doesn’t need or desire to press the snooze 

Because it’s already carrying the dream 
The Seed 
Planted deep 
In the hearts of those that know 
Way way low in their soul 
That He is good and He gives good gifts to His children 

That thing buried there is at war with all of the villains 
the fear, the lies and the shame 
That so violently rages to rewrite our pages 

penned by the King, line by line, dipped in the very blood that dripped and ripped the vail!!! 

For each and every one of us to walk in the abundant life that Christ wired into our cells, infinitely unique like melody and soliloquy He wrote this opus for each of us to sing allowing it to ring forth like vibrant trees sprouting from our hearts … watered by the depths of His river bursting forth from our bellies… we drink from Him…  reversing all of the strife… for when the desire comes… it is a tree of life.” 

“Remember, Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies…” 

“When hope’s dream seems to drag on and on, the delay can be depressing. But when at last your dream comes true, life’s sweetness will satisfy your soul.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭13:12‬ ‭TPT‬‬
