You Alone Satisfy!

I ask myself a question today

If today is the last day

What would I need the most

Before I step into eternity

I realize my last memories won't be that of offense or grief

My greatest desires would fade away and seem trivial,

In that moment just before my journey is over

The abuse, the hate, the anger would lose its power

And my heart would be overwhelmed

Knowing that the Lord planned for me to encounter His love through the cross and the resurrection.

And before I breathe my very last my only one cry would be-" I need You Jesus" and then I would step in its reality.

As I still breathe, may I not wait for that day to realize

Help me understand that I need You every waking moment

Yes I need You more, more than the greatest desires.

There's none who loves me more.

None who paid the price for my reckless living.

You valued me more than I value myself

Yet I am constantly running to embrace the temporary pleasures

Not recognising that my heart is deep and without end

And so foolish to think that the temporary things could ever satisfy

The deep can only be satisfied by You

You have placed eternity in me

And it can only be satisfied by You

Help me answer your gentle knock at the door of my heart each day

You relentlessly pursue me in love

You demand nothing but in fact became nothing for my sake

So help me sweet Spirit to count each day precious

Free my wandering heart to only Your love that satisfies

Help me know my worth that You couldn't imagine eternity without me
Help me understand love is a sacrifice

And cross is the evidence of this truth

Love so powerful that death couldn't confine it in a tomb

That its jealousy for me consumed the dark clutches of the grave

And came back alive to make a home in me

So Holy Spirit live through me

May my flesh be crucified

Your love burn bright

And may a hurting world witness Your relentless love

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...
