I Was Open to Love

 

On my right is despair 

On my left is anguish

Yet I face you off

Infront of me is failure to hear you

So, I listen and wait

So, I carry you in me

And as I come to wait

You meet me in the middle

And I hear your calling out to me

Cos waiting for noon to meet

And can’t see you here

Yet I wait in anxiety

Feasting on fresh bread

Roasted chicken awaits me

Yet I can’t see my own face again

Yet all I long for I see despair 

So, I carry my love for you lightly

I carry you with joy 

Cos in the waiting I am known

Cos in the song I sing is joy

In the song of despair gone

I lift my head to see you here

I Looked at Him and Died but He Gave me Life Again Cos He Loved Me

I looked at him in the middle of my time today before his loving face It took my gaze, and I made him proud of me Yet as I waited my heart grew dim and I gave way to sin Yet he never forsook his promise to be with me And my hope to heal my heart fell away Yet I hear him saying, I alone can heal a heart that grows cold and dim Yet he waits for me and I carry my heavy heart to his hand And he rests with intent of caring for my love So beaten, broken and bruised he took me in Beaten and sore, my wound he healed Shown love from the spotless lamb of God He showed me I care for you He showed me love   Photo by   Bill Fairs   on   Unsplash

Found in the Arms of Grace

I was use to walking along the road with no one to guide me in which way I was to go. Now I see the way is a narrow road, not broad, that leads to life (John 7:13-14). I am able to see a piece of grace as a gift from God’s hand, not a limitation that restricts me from seeing his love. So I press forward toward the goal of receiving Christ as my inheritance. This I do, forget what is behind and press forward toward the heavenly calling we have in God’s son Jesus (Philippians 3:14).  For I was once lost in sin, unable to see, deaf from all the drowning noise of chaos and lost in my own pride of life. I thought I was alone because there was no one who could save me. Yet I was only dead due to a decision to forget who I as made to be. I am now in the light, not of life alone, but also of God’s grace. I leave my baggage of tormented soul to enter a new age of transformation. Like a butterfly I used to crawl, now I saw above the wind and lift up above the waves.  In the start o...

Favoured

Now the favour in your life will carry you so far. Where will it carry you? To love. Now love looks like something. Often love takes the form of submission to another and their will. Yet coming to know the one who made you is the first step in coming to favour that flows.  Rivers start with a trickle and end in a stream. The collective of so many droplets of water can cause the stream to bulge, bursting its banks. This bulging can be related to the formation of character in our soul. This soul flooded with love is favour again and again pouring through.  The first part of love is to see we are made in the image of God and then made for His glory. These two cement the first of which is grace upon grace then acting upon this revelation, we all seek the glory of God. So what is the power we seek? Is it just that we are to be known by Him and make Him known by love? Let’s look at this.  It’s profound that love can take us deeper into the foundation of the gospel. Love can fin...
