You Alone Satisfy!

I ask myself a question today

If today is the last day

What would I need the most

Before I step into eternity

I realize my last memories won't be that of offense or grief

My greatest desires would fade away and seem trivial,

In that moment just before my journey is over

The abuse, the hate, the anger would lose its power

And my heart would be overwhelmed

Knowing that the Lord planned for me to encounter His love through the cross and the resurrection.

And before I breathe my very last my only one cry would be-" I need You Jesus" and then I would step in its reality.

As I still breathe, may I not wait for that day to realize

Help me understand that I need You every waking moment

Yes I need You more, more than the greatest desires.

There's none who loves me more.

None who paid the price for my reckless living.

You valued me more than I value myself

Yet I am constantly running to embrace the temporary pleasures

Not recognising that my heart is deep and without end

And so foolish to think that the temporary things could ever satisfy

The deep can only be satisfied by You

You have placed eternity in me

And it can only be satisfied by You

Help me answer your gentle knock at the door of my heart each day

You relentlessly pursue me in love

You demand nothing but in fact became nothing for my sake

So help me sweet Spirit to count each day precious

Free my wandering heart to only Your love that satisfies

Help me know my worth that You couldn't imagine eternity without me
Help me understand love is a sacrifice

And cross is the evidence of this truth

Love so powerful that death couldn't confine it in a tomb

That its jealousy for me consumed the dark clutches of the grave

And came back alive to make a home in me

So Holy Spirit live through me

May my flesh be crucified

Your love burn bright

And may a hurting world witness Your relentless love

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...
