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 interwoven your life and breath into mine

All the fiery trials that should have consumed me

Yet it didn't

Your love and spirit have kept my heart burning but not consumed

To refine the dust and create an imperishable faith

Through the pain and suffering, which will not consume me

Except to be consummated by the Lord, who is an all-consuming fire

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...

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...
