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 garden beautiful to reflect your glory
It's your work from genesis to revelation 
You get down deep into the mess
You put your hands into the dirt and breathe your life into it to fashion me in your perfect image
Your love is relentless and your work is deep to uproot all lies and fears
You have planted a tree deep amid this garden
A tree of Life that has absorbed all my guilt and shame
Jesus, you're the tree deeply rooted in my garden
Where lies and fears are all finished
And every thought bows down in surrender to your love and tear you shed in the garden of Gethsemane
You understand my suffering like no one else does 
And you bore it all and made it yours on that tree
And in exchange, you gave me your divine and Holy life
As I behold You in every chaos and storm
With every gaze, I see your eyes burning with love and holiness
You till the hardness of my heart and make it tender to plant your love
You are quick to my rescue to heal and save me
My roots are growing deeper in your love
I am undone and burst in awe of your love as you call me in the deepest part of my being
You call me- Holy and wholly mine

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...

Corporate Tyranny

They break us and continue to break us With hours unending With policies unfriendly Relentlessly breaking our soul Cries stream from within stifled by voices Comply it's the culture that's how things go But is that what we were taught as kids? I remember lessons on being brave for the cause of justice and more Think people with your mind and heart Do you wish to leave this as a legacy Your children to bear the burden of precedence you set to climb the corporate ladder By corrupting the system Little by little Hour by hour Soul by soul Finally, you got everything but did you gain your soul?

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,...
