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

In to me, you see!

Before your father and mother conceived You I conceived you You were with me in my heart, my very imagination and my mind I kissed you with my breath in your mother's womb I sealed you to be mine forever before the foundations of the earth I marked you with the Spirit You didn't choose me but I chose you to be mine forever Simply because I made you with love I am the very breath in your lungs The blood that flows through your veins I have hemmed you and surrounded you within and everywhere with my love You cannot escape my presence I know your wanderings, and I know where you hide My love is present with you in the deepest pit of your despair and disappointment And I will not leave you there But I have raised you from the pit to the power of my faithful and steady love To proclaim and touch people with compassion and grace As I touch you every day with my love to bring you life My words chiselling your flesh into submission to my loving authority to reflect my love, truth

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 g

Crucify! Crucify!

You were about Your Father's Mission, A mission of Love and Justice, A mission of Reconciliation. A relationship broken by sin, You came and restored. You demonstrated the Father's heart of love, For a world marred with sin and shame. An Innocent One crucified! You willingly gave your life on the cross, As an atoning sacrifice and paid the price. You were denied, betrayed,rejected, abandoned, By Your own for whom You came cause of love. They shouted "Crucify! Crucify!" Love responded "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." You died and You rose and visited those who denied You, You met them in love and forgiveness. Even as my flesh is crucified with Yours, And You live in me, May I behold Your love You demonstrated, On the cross. A love You poured out so lavishly and willingly, A love that was necessary to restore the broken and fallen world. Help me live that love as I walk the earth, Even when denied, rejected and broken by those who pledg
