flowers outshine

I wrote this while praying for one of the groups we are working with on this trip. A prayer for them, and for all of us.
 I had just been reading through Matt. 5 and 6, so that is the larger context.

Joy - abundant Joy!
One lord - savior
  No two masters
One
Abundant radiant life
Despite circumstance- not
     determined by.
Beyond. Above. Within and bursting through.
Visions for life
Laid down
Surrendered
Die to live
But first death. Painful. Cold.
   Surrender as a living
   sacrifice... Over, and over
   and over...
And life begins again
  Refreshed. Pure.
Fire unquenchable
  Rivers rushing
Pursuing beauty
    Excellent beauty
Laughter at what the wold holds so dear
The flowers outshine
Love abounds
No fear
    Death is conquered
Open hands letting go
Victory is won
Unexpected glory
   Where you would never look
To Him be the glory
Over and over and over
                    again
