THE TOUR... THE MASTER AND I - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

It all started when I invited him in
He requested my treasures to him I should bring
I told him I could show him where it is
But he can only look and leave it as it is
For me his request was strange
His the guest and not the master of this place
Should I show him the door
Or allow him to continue walking on my heart's floor
I showed him the love I have for my mom
And he asked me why is it locked in a room
I explained to him
Because of what happened in the past
I locked it but now the key to open it I can't find
He smiled at me and told me not to worry he'll sort it out
Right there I wanted to kick him out
Even though I can't find the key
The door locked is how I want it
And I wish he could leave it be
I showed him my love to my other family members
And the result was very much the same
And it begged the question, can I really be to blame?
I then showed him my love to my friends, neighbours and strangers
He smiled and said his pleased with me,
but I can improve more if I allow myself to feel
But there was a tear too
He asked me how come I can't love my family as much as I love these
I told him they didn't hurt and disappoint me so please just let it be
I asked him what do you really want?
Without hesitation he replied
Your heart
I already gave you most of it what else do you need?
His reply upsetted me because he wanted everything
I said fine have it, but the doors that are locked
Don't break it down, I locked it for a reason and threw away the keys
He asked me if I trust him and I told him
How could I, trusting people doesn't come easily for me
What happened next I didn't expect
The tension I felt just slipped away
And at that moment I felt relaxed
Son he said
If you only knew who you allowed in
This conversation would bring a different meaning
I'm not just anyone person
I'm not even human
That piece of information shocked me and brought me to my knees
Is it you Lord? And why have you choose to come to me?
He continued... Son I love you and there's no boundaries and limits to my love
This love is what I want you to experience
And everyone around you will see the change I will bring
I have the keys to all your doors in your heart
But I won't open any without your permission
He then gave me a tour and showed me just how much he loves me
He showed me the cross and what it means
He showed me a tomb empty
He showed me the sacrifice he made
And how Jesus took my place
With this he didn't just explained his amazing grace
But showed it too me and still had a smile on his face
I couldn't comprehend
Why waste his blood for a sinner like me
I've done uncomprehendable things
Seeked to please my fleshy desires
Instead of that which is on his heart
He told me that I do not have to comprehend
Or even understand
I just need to open up my heart and let him in
One day when I’m with him everything he will reveal
Now the question on his heart was once again revealed
Son, he asked, will you allow me to be
I interjected, but you are, how can I make you be
He laughed with grace and continued
I want you to allow me to be
King of your heart
Giving me the thrown and allowing me to rule
I can assure you everything will fall into place
It might not always go your way
But my way isn't yours
The sun might not always shine
But there's purpose in the rain
You might not see change immediately
But growth takes time
And a premature baby doesn't always live
So don't be hasty
Wait on me
And even though I have the keys to open that close doors
Just give me the go ahead
And I will flood your heart with my love
Breaking all doors, locked and unlocked
And it will overflow
Washing away all impurities
Cleansing your soul
I will make you promises and see it through
Because I am God and cannot lie
I will guide you through obstacles
Be with you on every journey
And wait for you at the finish line
Run my son, run your fullest, run your best
I'll be cheering you on
You are already a winner
Believe it, just remember you won the race of conception
I love you
I welcomed him in a second time around
With the knowledge of who he is this time around
Just there and then the stonewall around my heart collapsed
And I couldn't stop crying
My father, my saviour was busy cleansing me
What a joyous experience
What a blessing to receive
I know I will never be the same again
For God's name was written on my heart's thrown
It was written with something more permanent then ink
It was written with his son's blood
Jesus
I gave him a tour
But he knew my heart better than I ever could
He gave me a tour
Showing me his love
And now my life has been forever changed
This is my tour with my Master.
