With all that is within me I want to shout. In the same way a lion roars I want to create a noise from the depths of my belly that is so load it makes the earth tremble and causes the deaf to hear. Then, when I am done I wish…..
To cry like I have never cried before. To drench my shirt in all the tears society and culture has always told me to suppress. How wonderful it would be to cry in the presence of my God and to weep uncontrollably upon His feet. How amazing it would be to not care what anybody thought and to simply let myself cry in places that the public has said is wrong to cry in. How liberating it would be to see their awkward and uncomfortable faces while I cried and to have no care for what they would think. They would all desire to do likewise but none would ever admit it. Once drained of all my tears…
I would laugh. Yes!! I would laugh uncontrollably and nobody would be able to quench it. It would be untamable and all who felt its vibrations would be drawn into its influence. Yes! To laugh like a man without a care in the world because his only care is found in heaven. Yes, that is the laughter I desire. How freeing it would be.
Oh, what a beauty it would be to sing. I love to sing despite all the criticism to do contrary. I so desire to fill my lungs with the songs of heaven and to sing in unity, beauty, and harmony. I will sing, I must sing, and no one will rob me of my God given right to sing. How freeing it would be to raise my God-given voice in the grocery store and to siiinnnngggg.
And when all the noise is done and over I wish to take a vow of silence. And in such a silence to hear the roar, the cries, the laughter, and the song of my God. Yes, this is my desire—to hear the Groom speak to His Bride.
