"make space for Me"

today is new
Today's clean canvas faces me and asks of my feet to walk.
Everyday it comes to visit - this white space, this untouched day.
it holds promises,
and the white open space asks of me to imagine.

I find myself hopeful and excited for the prospect of a new day,
yet the endless horizon of white is stolen and becomes smaller as the day goes on.
I have to fight fears, that lead me to comfort and the familiar.
Choices that are easier to follow; lead me on the old path; away from the open space.
I see the threat to this white canvas is fear.
Fear of the unknown, fear of my insignificance, fear of rejection,
fear of failure.
The open white canvas scares me.
But constantly, and softly there's another voice.
Quiet enough to be missed if I don't quieten the frantic busy-ness around me.
But strong and persistent.
A voice that believes, leads and wraps strength in His hold around me.

So I see the white canvas before me today, again.
And choose to paint the space before me with His direction.
He leads me to love, everytime.
Love that erases the fear.

Today in love I am free.
Free in His space for me.
