♡ on my sleeve pt. 2

heart on my sleeve

I’ve fallen in love with the shattering of it all because my Savior won’t leave me alone in my pain

my Savior admires the way I dance in the rain

even when the pain has tried to take me out time n time again

he admires the way I love those around me selflessly, n He’s teachin’ me to walk in the tension of letting His love flow in my heart and out into my surroundings

now I’m learnin’ how to love me… selflessly.

he admires the way I write down my feelings n he loves me even when I sometimes say too much

he knows I’m just tryna keep in touch - with him, with myself, and with those I trust

he admires the way I laugh a whole lot and drop my pen in the parking lot

n leave my socks on the floor

heart on my sleeve

i’m livin’ in transparency

i’m bein’ the real me

i’m okay with the real me

ima wear my heart on my sleeve till these trees become the shade that someone else’s heart needs

let this fabric of faith i’m wearin’ become the one you’re carryin’ 

let this button-up un button the places where you’ve felt covered up 

let these sleeves be the ones you roll up as you dig full-force into the soil of the Savior’s love

soil thats rich, deep, nourishing the soul

the kinda soil that’ll make you whole

lets His roots run deep

let His seed multiply n then die

knowing that light will surely arise

knowing that this fruit will one day be the very tea you’re pourin as your drink

he’ll bring you back from the brink
