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

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,...

When you are forgiven much...

 We all like looking good. No one ever posts an ugly picture of themselves. We always dress pretty to look our best in the world. And I am guilty of all of these things. I have heard people say as long as you're not harming someone or if you do good things you're a good person. But I believe that this is far from the truth. We are deeper than the things we see. Our motivations, intentions and thoughts are visible to a God who is Holy and Righteous. If I was to be extremely honest I am nowhere close to being good before a Holy God. Being a Christian, makes me see the beauty of God in Christ who selflessly sacrificed His only Son as a payment for our sins. At the same time, there is a growing awareness of the selfishness of my heart, the constant need to control and have things my way. And the depth of wretchedness and sin rooted in my heart and the facade placed to cover these things with seemingly good acts.  I am glad that God is a loving Father who loves us so deeply that He...
