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 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 inter...

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...
