From wander to wonder

What do you do?

When you wander aimlessly

And the fire you once had was quenched

You are misunderstood even by your own

Rejected and cast away

You feel lonely and isolated

You feel you don't belong or can't connect

And deep inside you feel empty and spent

Tired yet going on from one day to the next

Your past mistakes haunt you

And an enemy that constantly attacks and doesn't back down

And a world that constantly tempts you or makes you feel that you are not enough

And your thoughts that should be a friend but act like a foe instead

It haunts you with a past that makes you see the sins and a heart that's scarlet red

Meet me "Great I am" in my wandering in this wilderness like you met Moses

And transform my I am's

Where mundane turns to musing

And despair turns to delight

Where wander turns to wonder

Where wilderness turns to worship

As you show me a bush burning and yet not consumed

Reminding me you have interwoven your life and breath into mine

All the fiery trials that should have consumed me

Yet it didn't

Your love and spirit have kept my heart burning but not consumed

To refine the dust and create an imperishable faith

Through the pain and suffering, which will not consume me

Except to be consummated by the Lord, who is an all-consuming fire

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...
