Would you love when it hurts, would you love like Me?

I heard a voice saying-" Give not your love for they won't value it,
Remember they use love only to please  themselves.
Give not your trust; remember they have broken you over and over again.
Show no mercy for they will hurt you again.
Hold yourself back from pouring selfless passion for they will reject and abandon you again. 
Express not the purest emotions for they won't understand it."
Ah!These storms of doubt are raging.
These shackles of fear are binding me and tearing me apart.
I hear his wicked laugh assuming victory. 

My soul desperately cries out from the depths of me to my  Saviour to help me walk His path
Prince of peace calming the storm in me
A light breaking through the darkness and giving life to me
Perfect love setting me free from the bondage of fear 
I hear His voice saying- 
"Love like I love and deny yourself and follow Me"
But I said-"what if they hurt me again?"
He reminded me I was once them
He showed me the cross and said-
"I gave My love for you on the cross even when you hurt Me"
I said-"I don't think I can love like You especially when it hurts"
He said- "sure you can I have made you just like Me. You have My spirit in you."
His truth set me free from the prison of lies.
His Holy presence - the best present is with me for eternity

The Design

I believe that there is a God who is good and He created us with purpose. He loved us so much that He was compelled by love to create children in His image who are good, filled with love and compassion. We were created for love and to go beyond our SELF. I am convinced of this, though I fail daily. When I was younger, someone very dear to me failed in a relationship and my little heart was broken. When I saw the person suffer the consequence I believed that they deserved it. As a kid I was unaware of my self righteousness. Time flew and when I grew up, I failed in a relationship. I was torn with condemnation, guilt, shame and judgement. This time I failed. I just couldn't take the weight of it and made a confession to a friend. I was so disappointed that I didn't see hope. My friend graciously explained that God is merciful. When you truly repent He forgives. I have always believed in God. As a child I wrote letters to Him mainly out of frustration about my situatio...

Holy!

Recently I registered myself on matrimonial sites to see if I can find a potential match. Unfortunately, I saw few fake profiles and I felt unsafe so I deleted my account. This is a platform meant for people to feel safe so they can pursue a life partner, yet some people come with different agendas. It's called Holy matrimony for a reason. It was God's idea when He created Adam to give her Eve for it was not good for Him to be alone. Adam responded with joy, “At last!” the man exclaimed. “This one is bone from my bone, and flesh from my flesh! She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken from ‘man.’” This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one. Now the man and his wife were both naked, but they felt no shame. Genesis 2:23‭-‬25 NLT He burst into beautiful poetry of praise. It's Holy because they became one. Despite the nakedness they felt no shame because they were united. God designed a perfect world,...

Longing for forever!

Being in the lockdown, I have come to appreciate the stillness, something I am not used to. Life gets so busy and it's like a monotonous routine. I almost felt like a hamster on a wheel. This period of rest has enabled me to slow down and appreciate the things I wouldn't notice because of busyness such as the birds outside my window, the sounds of them chirping every morning. Moreover, me wondering and reflecting as I used to when I was a child, I was so easily amazed at what I was learning. Growing up I somehow lost that and I feel like God is bringing me back to that place where I can be in awe of Him. In one of my conversations with my dear friend I mentioned- " Do you ever wonder why we say best friends Forever or I love you Forever? You know it's not strange that we long for Forever cause it is God who created us with that longing. In Ecclesiastes 3:11 it's written: God has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of...
