Untamed

I went to the zoo today. What got me was the tigers, the cheetahs and the lion. We've all seen these animals in action, whether it be on Animal Planet or in real life. They are fierce. They have agility and power and strength. And all of that is confined to a "habitat-friendly" cage. They just lay there, waking up everyday to the same thing, the only change being the faces of us humans who come to admire and gawk at them.

You're like a lion that chose to be caged, so that we could all run free. You possess that same presence I feel looking into the face of a lion through two inches of glass. You are drive, passion, glory and honor, and you chose to cage yourself in the suit of human flesh so you could die and set us free. Imprisoned for freedom.

But you didn't stay there. You didn't stay in the cage. You conquered it. You broke down the gates once and for all and ran free to be the untamed, ferocious Spirit you are.

And you are alive in me. You are alive around me. You are my untamable God and Savior. You love me ferociously and yield to nothing when it comes to your love for me. You can't. You love me that much.
