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

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...
