Your love, has made my heart so tender. You and I, enjoyed such a wedding feast. A heart full, but yet in such a need; for even more of Your love. So many hearts celebrate, this day or that. But, as for me and my heart, how truly grateful to know. My soul has a place, where my heart can come to enjoy a heartfelt feast. On a love so plentiful, a love that makes the heart to confess. Deep within the chest, the love has become so overwhelming. A love with the sweetest smelling aroma, the true essence of love; and how sweet it is. Your heart, a feast for a thousand lifetimes. A lifestyle, to becoming a part of a hearts daily intake. A love that is such a treat, a delight that goes beyond just saying a word. Joy of the uttermost, pleasure for every part of the innermost. A love to blow the mind, with a heart finding joy in nothing else. A heart, not knowing this simple truth; must surely go to sleep, still feeling so hungry? A heart not yet knowing, what it truly means to be full? With a love, that will forever change the course. Famine, or a soul feasting on love forevermore?

A heart will always be spread thin, when the soul has a true need. To know a love that covers so gently, that you would liken it to being even smoother, than butter. A love that covers the entire heart, and leaves nothing missing within the soul. Even the least, will get the call to come and feast. To have their own seat, at the table. The feast, to forever end the hunger pain, and quench the thirsty soul. Don’t love to eat, eat to live. Forever, always, endlessly. Contentment, that your heart will find. Being eternally hungry, that’s when the feast becomes truly fulfilling. Love, meant to be an endless feast; with the desire for even more. Nevertheless, day after day; let the partaking be more and more. The feast, on a love that takes every breath. You can feast your eyes, but what will that do… for a soul with a true need? Everyone can eat, but only a feast can satisfy; what a heart knows to be the true desire. A soul can never be satisfied, with just a taste. A heart can taste how sweet, but until a soul knows how truly delightful? You won’t get to a point to truly describe, why; it’s the most amazing love?

As it Is!

As it is, the here, and the now. In this moment, in such a time. Let not your heart be swayed, when the day brings a darkened hour. Even though, therein lies the heart of love. What was, what is; what needs to still be, your soul can find rest in thee. Hope, was made to be found. Look in the horizon, look underneath every breath. Look deep within, to know the true, I AM. Even in a time as such, the dance of love can do so much. You don’t need to strike up the band, to raise a hallelujah. To let the world know, on a solid rock you stand. Let the darkness know, you have a light; shining through a radiant being. For when the things of earth, grow strangely dim; heaven will be the everlasting afterglow. In the stillness, within quietness of soul; no heartache, no pain. As it is, may hearts not be clouded, by what may come to cast shadows. May we forever lay our fears, to find your love laid down, waiting for every soul to have. A heart finding peace, a soul knowing nothing else… but jubilee. As it is, let this place be where sickness bows. As it is, let restored hope be unprecedented. As it is, may shouts of praise abound. Resound, breathtakingly like an angelic song. As it is, let words be true; and the word of truth be fulfilled. Though we don’t yet see, may it be hearts with the confidence to believe; Your Kingdom has come. Heart unveiled, to see the glory revealed. As we are, may we come humbled. As we become, may we truly be grateful. As You find us, may Your love find a soul faithful… at Your heart. In the ending, every knee the bow, and every tongue the confession. Oh, Lord; Your love will be the forever reign. On the earth, As It is… in heaven. May it be so!

The void a state, but the emptiness not without absence; the fullness surrounds. Breadth cannot be touched, but a presence can be felt. We can avoid this, even some of that. But yet, you can never evade; what is, and forever will be. When a void in love becomes apparent, the instinct is to bridge the gap; between heart and soul. But, without the being is within the agape. Therein, will still lie the emptiness. In a space, and in time. Where so many pin their hopes, while avoiding the truth. Space is irrelevant, when time is predicated, on the peripheral. Only a change in perspective, a connection to what is true. The change, a heart will not attempt to avoid. A barren wasteland, what becomes a soul feeling unfulfilled; lacking a substantive inner peace. The world desperately needs, what so many hearts try hard to evade. But, there’s no evading, truth with no erasing; to make a soul profoundly elated!

When you’ve found forever at rest, in that truly; there’s no more debating. No one, can ever steal your love, your joy, your hope, your peace, your faith; without you choosing to give it. When lack is wisdom, and discernment; power is therefore given, not taken. Sometimes, we’re drawn into a bad situation; thinking it will fill a vacancy. No chasm, can truly be filled. When a soul doesn’t truly understand, the purpose for breath. Someone, can call you useless; say your value worthless. But, without you giving that power over the truth. The words, are completely empty; non-binding. In life, there’s always something that can be gleaned. So, therefore; why let your soul toe, what just outlines the abyss? When your heart can know, endless the state. Even though the fall, a heart is never trapped. Love is not just an escape, it’s a soul living in the contentment; a heart knowing the bliss!

We can believe, something is invalid; but that doesn’t make the truth within, null and void. We can deny the truth of God’s love, but the promises; not rescinded. You don’t have to be a philosopher, to understand thoughts are based on a certain philosophy. Thinking nothing missing, doesn’t mean something isn’t broken. Whatever you believe to be the void, just a mind in a state. In the spirit, in the realm of being; transformed. Every void has breadth, every void can be filled; with the true meaning of love, God. You can try to avoid, but there’s no way to evade. In the end, there will be the Cross, the Road. No Sway, Jesus is the only Way; to fill the void!

Though the night, though the day be a heart troubled. In the tossing, the turning; may peace be, in the stillness… of thy soul. The see, will never be the problem. When you let faith be the answer, in God’s love the anchor. Even though the struggle, is the reality. The wayward wrestle, between heart and soul. Even when you feel wounded, weary from all the battles. Just remember, it’s always darkest, before the dawn. Time, being in the Son; what heals the wounds, trying to leave you scared… for life. Troubled, doesn’t have to be called despair. Trials, they come to make your resolve even stronger. Tears, don’t mean losing. God is well able, to strengthen you. Press deeper into His love, and then press on. A heart shaken, but a soul stirred; to keep going, through what may… be still crushing. Never give up, never give in. Endure, until the end; and rise triumphant. Hold on to your faith, and against all odds; Stand!

In the middle of the storm, God is… still faithful. Every day, let your hope rise, high above the dark clouds. You don’t need to know, which way the wind may blow. You will soar even higher, when you let God’s love be; the wind beneath your wings. Above what you see, there’s a new horizon. Raise a hallelujah, make worship a lifestyle. Turn a darkened morning, into dancing. When the heart is heavy, pondering how to face a crossroad? Jesus, will show your heart the way. If you dare, to trust His love. Even if, your world is feeling shattered? Hope in God, finds a place called gracefully, within what’s broken. Rise with the day, rise up on a prayer; and you will be able, to ride out the rising tide. Dream dreams, but have a vision; the coming Son, piercing the sky. Restful, not in laying the head down; but knowing, where to lay all your burdens? At the foot of the cross, bow your head low; then Rise… forever, with the Lord!

Still, always, forever; my first love, that will never change. Hell, death has no hold. Your love called to my heart, and my soul ran out of my grave cloths. Your love is still the anchor, my soul securely tethered to. Your love did what no other would, fought to show that my heart had worth. You won my heart, You have my soul. Your love is my song, every lyric, every verse; it makes my heart sing. Your heart is the light, shines like a lighthouse. It’s what guides my soul, through the darkest nights. It’s my strong tower, the only fortress my heart has ever known; a refuge in the storm. My greatest joy, what it’s always been. Lover, oh my soul; still yearn to know Your heart. Heart to heart, that’s the encounter; for my soul to taste the sweetest love. Your love is the fire, the flame upon my heart. The love still burns deep, my soul is forever set ablaze. The beautiful exchange, so beautiful a transformation; what You’ve made out of my soul. Breathless, what You’ve made my heart… become. My heart truly adores You, every breath I have… it’s yours. Nobody else, will ever get me, get this; My First Love, it’s You… Abba!

When I talk about first love, for me that’s literal. I grow up, without knowing a true earthly father’s love. Even though, I was an only child; I never had a close loving relationship with my mother ether. I was the first born for my father, but he didn’t embrace the daddy role. My mother had left me in the Caribbean at about age four, to build a new life for us in another country. Off and on, I was able to visit my father. At age six, he put me on a plane; never to inquire about me again. For the next twenty years, we only had one encounter. When I was sixteen, my mother planned a trip to the Caribbean. When I was reunited with my mother, and because she was a single mother; she enrolled me in a boarding school/home. I lived there, from age six to ten. Even though, we could go visit on the weekends; my mother didn’t drive. So therefore, I didn’t always get the chance, for the change of scenery. Fast forward to being married, I wanted my father to know his grandkids. I heard he was in the U.S visiting, so I took my eight year old son at the time on a plane; to go meet his granddad. Eventually, he also got a chance to me the entire family. He’s now in his seventies, with failing health. And the one child, he hesitated to lay claim to, is the only one he has a relationship with now; to help defray some of the health cost!

Maybe, that helped drive my heart; deep into an introverted silent river, where my heart spent many years. My heart, could have gone down so many paths. But God, His love hovered; stayed with me there, embracing my soul in the stillness. Then took my heart out of the river, and placed it in an ocean; encompassed my soul with His love. So I can now tell you, why I know deeply. The love that glistens profoundly, upon the river of my soul. Predestined, when He set the stage, for a true love encounter. He will always be there for you, every step of the way. Just like you, I can share a thousand stories; things we encounter along the journey. My life isn’t special, it’s the love within; that changed the meaning. I said that, to say this. Knowing God’s love first, what made it possible for my heart; to know a better relationship. I wasn’t planning to share all this, but felt I needed to explain the why; First Love? My friends, let me ask you this? What brings your heart, the greatest joy? What do you know, you can always hold on to; when your soul, is in the middle of a hurricane? When the water just won’t recede, where do you go for refuge? But most importantly, in a time such as this; what’s your, First Love?
