Love made flesh!

Do I miss You in every day mundane?
Belittling the small and humble in the hope of great and majestic
Am I getting it all wrong?
Is my idea of great in the grandeur of things
Or is it in the secret sacrifice of the unsung heroes that makes life possible?
Every song, every beat is a desperate cry longing for love
Looking in beautiful package realising its empty
And then wondering what did I miss?


Am I expecting You to come as a lion
But missed You because You came as a lamb
I expected You to come as a fierce King
But You chose to come as an infant in a manager.
So humble so vulnerable yet so powerful the love
That became nothing for my sake.

Am I expecting the red sea to part, water to turn to wine tangible miracles 
Not recognising the miracle of each new day, beating heart to witness your glory each day
Dull heart losing novelty of precious gifts bestowed upon me
Valuing things over life
Valuing signs over relationships
Limited vision of love that seeks to satisfy self 
Are we professing to follow you but doing our own thing being a hypocrite
Selling in your temple meant to be Holy
Meant for prayer to seek You only
Not understanding true love is the cross
Where sacrifice and mercy triumphs through crucifixion of the flesh
Not recognising the life declaring Hallelujah in brokenness to praise the triumphant Lord when all hope seems dead. 
Following You in the way of love is the only way of redemption for our sinful ways
The resurrection we so hope for, is possible only through love

It's not over! As long as we live Your mercies will lead us home
Each second every decision every unceasing knock declaring your relentless pursuit of me
Wanting to wash my feet from my reckless ways
Requesting -to turn away from self and to follow You to behold Your glory 


A blood still alive and pleading mercy
A Spirit so gracious waiting to make home in a sinful heart 
A love so powerful willing to consume every death to bring life to birth Christ in me
For a broken world to witness love made flesh 

Surely Your unfailing kindness will lead us to repentance from our waywardness
Hurting will hurt no more
Prodigals will be sons and daughters Great is Your kindness and unfailing love

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...

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...

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...
