Secret Garden


Guard the garden that's the genesis of my being
The secret place where you formed me
Guard my silence and solitude with you
That's where you're doing a deep work of making me whole and Holy
It's a privilege to be alone with you Jesus teach me to treasure You 
You alone sit with me in the garden of my heart 
And You yearn and delight to be with me
May my wayward heart yearn for you and delight in you
You wait gently to tend to the garden of my heart
You violently uproot anything that obstructs our love and intimacy
You want nothing to interrupt and put out the fire and pure passion of our communion
You are jealous over the affections of my heart
Like a bridegroom over the heart of His bride
You alone are worthy of this wholehearted devotion
Give me a heart that is purely devoted to you
No one else knows me the way you do
Nothing else can fix the mess in this garden
Teach me to rejoice when you prune and uproot
Father, you are the perfect gardener
You're making this garden beautiful to reflect your glory
It's your work from genesis to revelation 
You get down deep into the mess
You put your hands into the dirt and breathe your life into it to fashion me in your perfect image
Your love is relentless and your work is deep to uproot all lies and fears
You have planted a tree deep amid this garden
A tree of Life that has absorbed all my guilt and shame
Jesus, you're the tree deeply rooted in my garden
Where lies and fears are all finished
And every thought bows down in surrender to your love and tear you shed in the garden of Gethsemane
You understand my suffering like no one else does 
And you bore it all and made it yours on that tree
And in exchange, you gave me your divine and Holy life
As I behold You in every chaos and storm
With every gaze, I see your eyes burning with love and holiness
You till the hardness of my heart and make it tender to plant your love
You are quick to my rescue to heal and save me
My roots are growing deeper in your love
I am undone and burst in awe of your love as you call me in the deepest part of my being
You call me- Holy and wholly mine

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...
