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 and glory 


Crucifying and denying self and enthroning Jesus to your rightful place in my heart as a King 

to submit to You, my Bridegroom, my love

for you have captured my heart 

Even grave couldn't hold You down 

You have conquered the grave with your all-consuming love

You are waving the banner of love each moment in the grave of my heart 

and reviving my heart with your all-consuming love

You are becoming my deep desire and joy 

I long to behold you and to be held by you to be like you 

And have You as my ultimate prize and reward

To sit with You in your presence, to drink deeply from your love and feast with you 

In the secret place where it's dark and unknown 

But that's where You are bringing life into the darkness

filling the emptiness with life 

and building an Eden with streams of living water 

Resurrecting to new life everything You touch- every wound, every scar that none can touch

A home- a sanctuary- a dwelling place 

where you and I are one

until only You remain 

Consuming and burning

Until you see yourself in me

Even death cannot sting me

Its power is dead as my sin  

for you swallowed death with your love to bring me home safely into eternity

Your Spirit pursues me passionately and beckons me unceasingly to - Come 

You have won my heart with your love 

and your Bride joins in the melody and responds- Come

Inviting me to a beautiful love song that will echo into 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...

Out of nothing...

  In the beginning, before anything, when there was nothing— You were. Before time, Your Spirit hovered, hovering over the void, over empty space. Then You spoke— O, You spoke and said, “Let there be light,” and piercing the darkness, light came. Such was the world without You; such is the landscape of our hearts— empty, without form, and void. It was nothing. But You spoke again: “Let there be light.” This time, the Word that existed in the beginning became flesh— the Word incarnate: Jesus, the true light for all, Immanuel, God with us. He dwelt among us. He became like us yet without sin. He became curse for us, and was pierced for our sin. Yet we did not recognize Him. Searching for Him in the law, we missed Him. But the law was fulfilled through His perfect love and sacrifice— and still, we did not comprehend. We thought He deserved it. He sees all our thoughts, the motives of our hearts— dark, devoid of love, formless without Christ, nothing but self. Yet He died and took our ...

The King We Didn’t Expect

  They expected You to come as a military King to rescue them from Roman oppression. But You came as a Servant King, riding on a humble donkey. Your mission was to rescue us  from the sin and selfishness that oppress our souls. But we are still looking for a Saviour to rescue us from the circumstances we are in, but not the oppression within. I am no different from them. I quickly forget and, like Thomas, declare: “I will never believe until I touch His nail-pierced hands and side.” Oh my soul, how quickly you forget how humbly He entered my heart as He entered Jerusalem on a lowly colt. I celebrated and rejoiced when He came and did miracles, singing Hosanna in the highest, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.” But when the night came and He submitted to the Father’s will, I find it hard to surrender, thinking it is mine. Seeing God pierced and crushed and chastised, I wonder, Where is His strength? I forget that my sin on Him was laid, that His blood and water c...
