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

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...

From wander to wonder

What do you do when you wander aimlessly, and the fire you once carried has been quenched? When you are misunderstood — even by your own — rejected and cast away. When you feel lonely and isolated, as though you don’t belong or cannot truly connect. When deep inside you feel empty and spent, tired, yet moving from one day to the next. When your past mistakes haunt you, when an enemy constantly attacks and never backs down, when a world relentlessly tempts you and whispers that you are not enough. When your thoughts, meant to be a friend, become a foe instead — haunting you with a past that stains your heart a scarlet red. Meet me, Great I Am, in my wandering through this wilderness as You met Moses. Transform my “I am’s.” Where the mundane turns to musing, and despair turns to delight. Where wandering turns to wonder, and wilderness turns to worship. Show me a bush burning, yet not consumed — reminding me that You have interwoven Your life and breath into mine. All the fiery tria...

Out of nothing...

In the beginning, before anything, when there was nothing— You were. Before time, Your Spirit hovered, hovering over the void, over empty space. Then You spoke— O, You spoke and said, “Let there be light,” and piercing the darkness, light came. Such was the world without You; such is the landscape of our hearts— empty, without form, and void. It was nothing. But You spoke again: “Let there be light.” This time, the Word that existed in the beginning became flesh— the Word incarnate: Jesus, the true light for all, Immanuel, God with us. He dwelt among us. He became like us yet without sin. He became curse for us, and was pierced for our sin. Yet we did not recognize Him. Searching for Him in the law, we missed Him. But the law was fulfilled through His perfect love and sacrifice— and still, we did not comprehend. We thought He deserved it. He sees all our thoughts, the motives of our hearts— dark, devoid of love, formless without Christ, nothing but self. Yet He died and took our ...
