Unlocked

Today I have been challenged by this: http://vimeo.com/31897200 a short but moving and powerful film about the power of letting Jesus unlock your capacity and greatness. What you can achieve and the freedom you can gain from being unlocked in this way is unparalleled by anything this world or any one person can offer. The ways in which my life have been revolutionized by letting God unlock my heart, soul, mind, thoughts, words, deeds etc are too numerous to recount here. And yet there is a sense in which each revelation, each deliverance, each change in my life has been significant. So much so that I'm reminded by watching this video how powerful and impacting the process of allowing areas of your life to be unlocked can be. Following this I wrote a poem. It's not great it only took my 5 minutes or so but I kinda liked what it says to me.

I am to be unlocked,
Open and visible.
I despise the dark and welcome the light.
I am no longer clandestine and closed.
No longer impersonal and reserved
Or secretive and ashamed.

I am blatant and intentional
Not locked away and separate
I feel warmth and see growth.
Uncurled and unshackled I am free.
I stand proud and tall
I smile-  no longer will my head be bowed.

For I have been unlocked
