Season Of Change

Have you been through the dark valley? Have you been in a drought of joy or peace? Have you suffered a season of brokenness and tears? Has it seemed to last so long that you feel like it's never going to change? There is a time for all seasons under heaven to change. Your time will come. My life is proof of this. I went through a very long dark night of the soul and I have found His grace has sustained me and brought me through. I wrote this spontaneous song in the shower:
He gives me His song of deliverance, His love song of praise. 
He will give you one too. Hold on, Beloved. 
Your time of joy will come, I'm praying for you.
The season of change is here, Love surrounding me..
 His joy has been my strength.
 The pain and suffering are like leaves that are falling 
and all that is left are Your promises that remain. 
In You I have found that I have nothing lacking. 
In You I have all that I have ever need of. 
The wind of Your spirit is swirling around me
 blowing away all the pain and the shame.. 
Your love is sweet and thick on me like honey,
 and dripping is Your mercy and favor on my face. 
 Your grace -double grace is now falling like rain. 
All those who misunderstood and perhaps misjudged me 
are blessing me in your glorious name. 
Through it all I have found You to be faithful and true. 
The air is sweet and Your breath I feel in this place. 
In the dark night You walked me through. 
You never left my side.
Jesus, Your joy is mine and I'm forever grateful and dancing this time.
 My tears are dried and my suffering is falling like leaves and are blown away
and all that is left are your promises that remain. Copyright 2012, Jenny Williams.

Liquid Golden Rain

Liquid Gold, Rain Down:


Our tears have been many, falling in a our secret place where we meet with You. They soaked upon our pillows, they fell at our feet. They fell when we could barely whisper Your name, Jesus. They fell silent in the shower as the water rushed over the weariness of the day. They fell down when we gave up in surrender, but these tears were not forgotten to your memory, Sovereign Lord, for Your memory is eternal, and You have captured them in Your bottles -each and every single one. They are like jewels. They have been kept in your sacred pavilion, and just as the melted snows of the mountains fall into the rivers, lakes and streams and evaporate into the heavens, returning as rains to nourish the flowers and the fields, so are these tears we've cried. They fall down as liquid golden rain, Your sweet presence, Your double Grace, Your intoxicating perfumed oil, Your golden iridescent lights glimmer off your daughters' faces and, oh, do we rejoice and dance in the rain: the former and the latter rains of Your glory and honor and strength! Our hands are lifted to You. Our faces glow in the rain of Your favor. Your golden rain soaks us until nothing but You is seen or heard. We twirl and dance and leap in liquid light of Your freedom, for Your promise has been that mourning will last for the night, but your joy comes in the morning. Your liquid rain washes away the traces of yesterday's pains and disappointments. Heaven's rains turn into floods of His living waters. We swim in this golden sea. We are drowned and captivated and swept away of His love.
