Rehydrated

I am doing something different this time.

A new thing.

A different thing.

You will feel the difference.

You will experience the difference.

You will be different.

You will be the difference.

Not indifferent.

Be unlocked.

I am controlling the mechanisms.

I am dealing with the mechanics.

I am shifting the cogs.

One piece interlocked with the next.

One piece fitting with the next.

One piece moving with the next.

An unlocking in the place of the lockdown.

A new opening.

A fresh opening.

A releasing of the stop.

The release of the gate.

The opening of the door.

You can see what is on the other side.

For my blessing is banked up.

My capacity is full.

For who opens a door that is under water?

Yet the dry place shall become the lush green pasture.

Fullness in the desolate place.

Not swept away, but filled by my fullness.

Rehydrated.

From the powder shall come my fullness.

From the dust shall come completion.

A redrawing of that which once was full and complete.

A rehydration.

You fear the flood.

But you shall have fullness without the flood.

You shall be as one who is immersed.

Reconstituted.

A fresh coming together.

Reconstituted ingredients.

A spreading out of that which was concentrated.

A dispersal into fullness.

Made from dust. Fashioned from dust. Alive from that which was merely dust.

The mist in the midst.

Just the right amount.

Not too much to burst the membrane.

Not beyond the boundary. Not beyond your capacity. Not too much to burst your bubble.

Not too little to limit your movement. Not half baked, not half hearted, not a measured approach, just a fullness manifest.

A refuelling of the fire. An infilling of the flow.

Streams in the desert.

In a moment.

In just a moment.

In an instant.

Like instant coffee. Just add water.

The missing ingredient.

Just add water.

The living water.

The instrument of hydration.

A sprinkle there a sprinkle here.

An immense flow here, a flood there.

Filled to capacity.

Rehydrated.

For the seed pods shall burst.

Growth is here.

Fullness is here.

A redrawing, a reshaping.

Evidence of my fullness.

For in me is fullness of joy.

For in me is fullness of movement.

For in me you shall move and have your being.

Come forth.

Be refuelled.

For I am filling you with my fullness.

Come to the fuelling station as say “fill it up”.

Let’s go on a trip together. Let’s go on an adventure together.

For I shall fill the desolate places. A new habitation in the place of desolation.

Isaiah 35:1-2

THE WILDERNESS and the dry land shall be glad; the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the rose and the autumn crocus.

It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice even with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the excellency of [Mount] Carmel and [the plain] of Sharon. They shall see the glory of the Lord, the majesty and splendor and excellency of our God.
