The Message; Look To You!

When I feel overwhelmed, whenever the need is to be overwhelmed. When I feel lost, whenever the need is to be forever lost; look to You!

When I feel burdened, whenever the need is because of a burden I feel. When I feel the pain, whenever the pain is because of a need; look to You!

My soul has many ambitions, within my soul there is an aspiration. Therein lies a determination, wrapped up within the desire; the zeal to get closer, to Your heart!

Your heart is the one thing I trust, Your heart is the only thing I can trust. Your love is my desire, Your love is my only desire. The one thing I desire, the only thing I can truly trust; the love within Your heart!

When I felt disillusioned, whenever the world leaves my heart disillusioned. The feeling is just the hurt, the choice; not allowing the disillusioned, to negate the trust. When I was lost, mercy fought for my attention, but grace; became the love that changed my life. Love waited at the door, until my heart was ready to open up. Enter at Your own risk, brokenness is the welcome mat. Your blood is what covers, the carpet that led to a love; rolled out for the broken-hearted. Now my affections are for You, Your love has my affection. Your love forever has my heart, and every day; I look to You!

God, Your love is a vision; my strength, my shield, my rock; the love on which I choose to stand. Mother, father, brother, sister; they’ve all failed. Your name is the power on our lips. You have never lost a battle; redeemer, defender, mighty overcomer. God, Hallelujah; You forever reign. For all we will ever need, Look to You!

Fun Friday; “What’s Gotten Into You?”

Two friends, Joe and David; were hanging out the other day. Out of the blue; Joe made a fist, and punched David. When David asked Joe why he did that, Joe said; the devil in me made me do it. Okay, David said, I forgive you; I will pray for you. A few minutes later, Joe punched David again for no reason. Joe immediately Apologized; I’m so sorry David, the devil is strong in me today. Yeah, I know David said; the devil had a hold on me, he made me do things I didn’t want to do. So Joe said, thanks for your understanding David!

But a few minutes later, as David was drinking some of Joe’s Kool-aid, it happened again. At this point David was really frustrated. He turned towards Joe so fast, that it startled him; causing him to fall off his chair.Then, without any warning; David stood over Joe, and for a couple seconds put his foot on Joe. This totally caught Joe off guard, and he just looked at David for a moment. Then said; wow David, the devil is really working overtime in you too? No, David said; that was all my doing. You know I’m a Christian, the devil has no hold on me anymore!

Very puzzled, Joe asked; then why did you make me fall off my chair? Well, Joe; even though I’m a Christian; I still sometimes struggle with anger issues, but God is doing a new thing within my heart. I’m not as bad as I used to be, but until He’s done; I will continue to pray for both of us. But whenever the spirit moves me, I will still have to rebuke the devil in you. Every time he forgets, and needs me to demonstrate; that he’s supposed to be under my feet. Joe, we will always be close; my brother from another mother. But I will be vigilant, will always be on the lookout. Just in case the devil in you, tries to pick another fight; and once again, needs to be put in his place!

iPray; Not For A Moment!

Father, even after all Your children have done; Your heart is still so patient; so loving. So many, haven’t learned a simple truth; to let the peace of God, rule over our heart. Darkness is again trying to cover the earth. Many in the world don’t seem to be bothered, by the darkness, the lawlessness. May Your commandment be the firm foundation, that once again governs our hearts. But You are still so good, sovereign, holy; faithful. Your promise still holds true; that You will Never Forsake, Not For A Moment!

Father, do we have the heart; to love You, the way You want us to? iPray we all do, iPray we have the courage; You deserve our Hallelujah. Getting to know Your heart, may that forever be our passion. Within these darkened days, help us to securely anchor our faith; not in each other, but Your love. So many are searching for something, so many are excepting of everything. But if we don’t have Your love, we truly have nothing; worth having. You have never stopped loving us, No; Not For A Moment!

Father, help us to see, not with eyes; but with our hearts; to see Your love, within the darkness. iPray with all our seeking, we pursue only one thing; Your heart. For when we seek Your heart, we would truly realize; Your love for us, is deeper than we can ever imagine. May we forever draw closer to You, get lost within Your love; find ourselves, within Your heart. There is no us, no me; no tomorrow, without You. We can do nothing, we are truly nothing; without You. Even if we choose to exercise our free will, Your love will never change; Not Even, For A Moment!

Daddy, iPray for the world, for all those on WordPress. Trying to inspire, but may You use each word; to help change hearts. May Your kingdom come, Your will be done. If we look to You, we will surely find You; moving within our midst. Good Good Father, I Love You, I do. May we forever seek Your heart, to come face to face; with Your love. In 2019, and every year thereafter! In Jesus’ Name, Amen!

The Whether!

Before I call, before I ever shed a single tear; my heart already knows, Your love is the answer. The shelter, the hiding place. Some days the thunder roars, the days collide. It’s a true challenge, trying to outrun the storms; trying to withstand the tidal wave, crashing against my heart. With every step forward, the wind beats against my faith; but the anchor holds. But it’s the rain, that sometimes won’t stop falling; from my eyes. But there’s a ray, a light; hope. The sun will shine again, after every downpour; after the rain!

The whether WILL subside, raise your hope; hold on to your faith, that the anchor will forever hold. Forever trust, that your heart is still covered; under the canopy. Some days the world can be bitterly cold. The coldness has always been there, but the bitterness; can leave a lasting chill, within your bones. Whether you believe, or whether you have doubts; that the warmth will some day return? The Son will surely return, let your light shine; warm the world with your light. Keep your hope raised, never let go of your faith; forever trust. Get swept up within a love, fierce like a hurricane. It will relentlessly seek you out, forever chase after your heart. Don’t get it twisted, the overwhelming gentleness; what your heart won’t be able to escape!

When you come face to face, let the love set your soul free; let it take your heart higher; where a heart learns how to soar. Even though the whether of doubts still lingers, through it all; it will never let you fall, to pieces. Whether or not you believe, Inquire about the love; investigate the gentle stories about the hurricane. Your heart will truly be free, to forever embrace the truth. Say goodbye to the thunder, to the storms; to the wind that beats. To the crashing tidal waves, to the rain that won’t stop falling; let peace be the stillness. Be no longer undecided with your heart, choose to forever remember. When it comes to the Weather, don’t let it become the element; manifesting within your heart!

    Pour!

    In the early days, I was never the type of person; to pour out my heart. I’ve always known exactly how I felt, but to verbalize it. Much less to express it in the written text, would have been the words; my heart would have desperately searched to find. I can now tell many stories, I can easily write ten thousand poems. But it still wouldn’t be enough, to encapsulate the love within. A silent river, being affected by an ocean of love; now Pouring out his heart. A soul on a journey to express in a million different ways, what this love has truly meant. I haven’t even begun, to POUR out what’s in my heart. Would anyone truly believe, that I’m speechless; but yet never lost for words?

    Is there a way to show the passion, is there a way to show what’s in a heart; without Pouring out the love within? Can I be truly expressive, but still have you begin to imagine? Can I write clearly, but still have you begin to truly understand? What I write are just words, it will never truly describe the breadth. So, is there a way for me to express my heart; without Pouring out in words, the love within? This is my desire, this has become a beautiful exchange; to share my heart. But also do my very best, to explain the love within. So I will continue to POUR out my heart, until every drop is gone!

    They say it’s in the details, the details for me will forever be defined; by how much of my soul, I’m truly willing to POUR out on God’s heart. Maybe someday, I can be defined as; a man after God’s own heart. A desire, that would be a truly defining moment. Until then, I will relentlessly chase; try to POUR out every bit of my heart. I can define this love in detail, I can even define it in many different ways. But God’s love, is all I will forever need; to truly define my heart!

    Silent River!

    Silent, the quietness underneath, the deepness within; the silent river. The calmness beneath, the stillness within; the depth being measured. Be seen and not heard, the art of not making a sound; my heart was skilled within the art. Strength but yet silent, movement, but yet not heard. Strong, silent; but yet the type that runs deep, a silent river!

    Many rivers, many years; many moons ago; since my heart encountered an ocean. Love, love was the sight, but at first; the feeling was what gave sight, to a love with unfathomable depth. So the river within set course, the destination; deeper. A heart once introverted, now expressive. A river once silent, now flow within an ocean; a heart on a journey to find. The boldness, the confident; found within the true depth. Ocean, Your heavenly presence; moves this once silent river!

    The height, the depth, the length, the breadth of this ocean; deeper than my soul can see, but calling me deeper. A silent river, was never meant to be my destiny. The hush was the rush, the silence turned into a presence; a love moving within every breath of my heart. Rushing into the depth of the innermost, taking my soul deeper. Gasping to give every breath, wanting to forever be overwhelmed; from a love that now floods my soul. The love that forever broke the silence, within a once silent river!

    The perfect storm, when a silent river; collided with a gentle ocean. A heart led by the still waters; a river runs through the silence. It’s the purpose, that gives a silent river resilience; true power, to affect change. Within the heart of the river, with nothing now left unsaid. Speechless, what has now become; the love deep within. A love that flows, a river that now takes moments of silence; to say a silent prayer, within the waves of glory. What is love, if a heart cannot describe; what it truly means? I am strong, I am silent, I am the river; with a purpose. To be submerged, deep within an ocean!

    The Message; Get Down On It!

    When you’re going through the rough times, even when your heart is living in the good times; get down on it. I’ve spent many nights wondering, spent many days pondering; what should I do? So many times I told myself, God will see me through. My heart believed it, my soul even knew Faith was the Substance. Using Hope to steady the heart, that’s what you do. Music was a real source of healing, my soul would endlessly dance; like David danced. When God’s love truly got a hold of my heart, tears started to flow; joy down in my soul. All my heart wanted to do, get down on it!

    It doesn’t matter, how many people think you’re crazy. It doesn’t matter, how strong the haters may seem. God is sovereign strong; even Goliath, had to fall. God will use your enemies as your foot stool; every day, get down on it. Even if you’re walking through the valley, there’s no need to be scared. Never let your heart be a slave to fear, shadows; will never bring death. God is the life, the love, the light; that shines the brightest within the darkness. Let His love hold your every breath. Let your life start, and end with Him; get down on it!

    Sound moves the spirit, praise and worship stirs up God’s love. When a heart sings of God’s love, it will move God’s heart. My heart has come to trust in God’s love a long time ago, not because I had abundant faith; but a strong belief, that I will forever need God’s love. Not just to survive within the shadows, but thrive; while going through the valley. Like most of us, my life has been filled with anger; lots of disappointments. But you couldn’t pay me a million dollars, to abandon the idea; of true hope. I could have never made it to this point, within the journey called life. Without God’s love, guiding my heart through the wilderness; giving my sometimes weary soul, true joy and rest. So friends, Get Down On It; but Stay Down on it, until you get your breakthrough!

    “Pray like this: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us today the food we need, and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us. And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us; from the evil one.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:9-13‬ ‭NLT‬‬

    Song Inspired; There You Are!

    Whenever I felt all alone, when the silence became my favorite place; there You are. When I was surrounded by so many people, but still felt invisible. Didn’t know it at the time, You never lost sight of my heart; forever cloaked within Your love. Even before my heart knew how to recognize Your voice, there You were. Within the quietness, moving within the stillness; whispering sweet words of love, what You do!

    Whenever I felt lost, in You is where my heart is found; forever in my heart and soul, there You are. Even when the days seemed so dark, my soul was never too blind to see; that Your love has always been the light. Even when it became a bit harder to see, Your love has been always there; to take me by the heart. In the middle of the night, Your love is the brightest star. The gaze within my heart, the glimmer of hope within my soul; a shimmer of light, who You are!

    When a heart feels broken, when shattered becomes the nagging pain. When the soul feels like it’s going through a constant state of hurt, Your love is the presence; fixing the brokenness, faithful You are. Within a quiet word of prayer, just with a tiny seed of faith; there You are, moving within the midst. To bless, to restore the happiness. To believe Your faithfulness, is to trust Your perfect love. You came like an Angel, but to be the Savior; to stand in the gap, because You cared!

    When the world feels a little too cold, my heart stays within the warmth of Your love. To be consumed by the fire, the burning desire. Every time my heart takes a breath, but my soul forgets to breathe. There You are, hovering, watching; to be my every breath. When we need a love to be the quietness within our heart, when we need a love to speak into the stillness of our soul; There You Are!

    Today’s song Inspired post, is a song by Martina Mariea McBride. She is an American country music singer-songwriter and record producer. It’s a song with the same name as the post, picked from my rather large music collection. Every second Friday of the month, it’s nice to pick one song to share. I hope your hearts are blessed, and inspired.
