The Sure!

I thought I stood on the right sure, but within my heart; I knew that there was a deeper calling. Maybe I was afraid, afraid of what it might cost; to follow You? Did I truly have enough, enough faith to walk on water? I thought I was standing on faith, but it was sand; faith moves, not a sandy shore. That was why, I stood on the same old sure; but it was sinking sand. For years I dreamed, that someday I would be a hero. But to be that hero, I would first have to start at the very beginning; be the zero, and let God’s love be the hero!

So I raised up my hope, stood on the forever sure; my heart was no longer, a slave to fear. The battle wasn’t being afraid to die, but overcoming the battles within the mind; and let the love, move my heart and soul. That was the battle, standing there; on the edge of my sure. Just like David, my heart needed to face the giant, I had let get ten feet tall; playing footsie, at the edge of the shore. To be a man, the boy within would first have to slay the mind; to show his heart, how to truly make a giant fall. Deep within my chest was the heart of a warrior, it was time; to stop playing in the sand. Stop building little castles, a fortress around my heart; that would just get swept away!

I thought I would be dipping my little heart, into a cold, cold sea; but what I failed to see, is that Your love was the ocean, calling my heart into Your clear blue yonder. I couldn’t see, that Your heart is the love I see; in the horizon. Maybe I wasn’t yet ready, or yet willing to cross the line; the line my own heart, chose to draw within the sand. My heart felt safe on the sandy shore, but within my own mind; it was just the shallow end. A deeper love can only be experienced, within the depth; of a truly loving heart. It was time to step out by faith, but I needed this true love; to be what forever moves my heart!

Footprints within the sand, were there to show me where I’ve been; but not where Your love wants to take me? All that time standing still, because of what others said. They said that they’re absolutely shore, that you shouldn’t go deeper; just build another castle, in the forever shallow end. But my heart heard the call, a love as wide as the ocean. I had to stand, on what I know to be sure; God’s love is the one thing, I know is sure!

So I got off the shore… thing, and stepped out of all the mind games; my soul gained absolute freedom. Walking on water, is about having faith; but your faith still has to be sure, on what it’s standing on? My heart doesn’t just need to go deeper, but be willing to drown forever, within the depth of that love. So whether I swim, or whether I just sink; that was never the issue. My will had to die, so God’s love could take my heart even deeper. Until I am sure, I was beautifully in, over my head!

Where my heartbeat was introduced, to the rhythm of Your love; this place.

Where Your love and my soul collide; this place.

Where Your love is forever anchored, within my soul; this place.

The Ink!

Deep within my soul; there is a story, a love. The end, still being written. My heart is the pen, the love within; the ink, not yet dried. This story is evolving, the love that flows; endlessly reoccurring. My heart is now fixed within a gaze, this story; never ending!

When the story first began, my heart felt so empty. The ink, wasn’t yet part of the story; so I thought. The engraving, needed to be etched; upon my heart. The story includes my soul, but my heart was still becoming; this storyline, is about the ink. The transformation; was my heart, slowly needing to be filled. My heart was learning, but my soul was quietly yearning; for more. I knew the concept of led, but a pencil left me with the option. To erase, and then rewrite; my own version of the story. The pen was to be my heart, but still becoming. The ink, makes the love; the permanent part of this story!

There’s nothing special about my pen, just another pen; the ink, defines the substance within. Take your eyes off the pen, it’s the ink; that makes the words, recognizable. The words might seem beautifully penned, but my heart would never be able to capture the essence; without the love within. That is the tipping point, my words are just words. The tip of the pen has a point, so this is the point. This story would never truly have a consistent flow, without the ink; that makes the love become visible!

By design, the love within has left its mark; permanent. The story will continue, because the ink is ever flowing. The love story iWrite, flows from the love within. When the ink permanently dried, that was the moment. The moment my heart knew, the ink on my soul had dried, no erasing. So, let me make the beginning of the story clear; God’s love is the ink, that forever flows. My heart, just the pen; being used to tell the story, about the love within!

Weapons!

No weapon forged to steal my destiny, shall ever see the light of day; within my heart. My heart has been destined to succeed; succeed it shall. Some weapons come with the sole purpose, to shake your foundation. Not even an earthquake, or a national disaster. Will ever destroy the firm foundation, disturb my peace; the stillness that dwells within!

Weaponized words, can truly cut deep; let it be only skin deep. Guard your heart with a thick skin, don’t let any of the deep cuts; reach your tender heart. In time, all those flesh wounds; shall surely heal. The scars may remind; nothing truly worth having, is never without a true sacrifice!

Weapons have been used to attack character, don’t let it penetrate the heart; the truth that lives within. The heart has been built strong, but even the strong hearted; still needs to be forever anchored. God’s love, is the solid rock; anchor your faith within, keep your heart grounded. Let nothing uproot your hope, destroy your faith. Be wrapped up, tied up, tangled up; be secure, within God’s love!

One thing my heart have come to know. No Weapon Shall Ever Come Between; My Heart, and Gods Love!

“But in that coming day, no weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord; their vindication will come from me. I, the Lord, have spoken!” Isaiah‬ ‭54:17‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Aug 19, 2018

The Move!

First, there was a move, but then; the move started to become so constant. Over time, the move became a shift. At first it was truly glorious, but over time it seemed as if the glory; became us, not thus… I could feel it, my heart could absolutely recognize it. But sometimes, all I could say about it; was that I felt it. The move, was becoming a constant shift; but my heart was not always ready, to be moved!

Even within the stillness, the move was still a shifting; my heart still needed to be moved. Now, I just can’t help it; even if I tried, I couldn’t even prevent it. This love moves the stillness within, all my heart can do; is to enjoy the rhythm, within every heartbeat. There it goes again, another move; the shift, is what keeps my heart vertical. God, Your love just won’t stop, making my heart skip a beat!

I don’t want my ears to just hear, teach my heart to constantly listen. I don’t want to just see, give my heart the vision. So others can see, that my heart moves; because Your love is the breath. Each breath I breathe, moves my lungs; but let the words within my heart, reveal the breadth of Your love. It doesn’t even bother me, if I can’t recognize the man in the mirror; from the constant shifting. What would truly trouble my soul, is that You could not truly recognize my heart; because I refused to be moved!

How can I truly be used to move others to act, if my own heart is indifferent; to a world that needs to know. That the time has come, to embrace a love that truly moves; but will shift; your heart!

Maybe Tomorrow?

Maybe tomorrow, that’s what we so often say; but what about today? Are we so forward thinking, that we forget about; the here, and now? Every day we get, is truly a blessing; but the true gift, is that you got to see today!

Don’t just watch the beautiful bird as they fly, don’t try to count all the stars in the sky; don’t just let life pass you by, thinking what about tomorrow. Take hold of today, but don’t hold on too tight; save some love for tomorrow!

Yes, we all want a tomorrow, but first, let’s cherish our today. Jesus said, it’s He who supplies all your needs. Take His hand today, let His love be your tomorrow; let His joy be what your heart needs today, and every other day. Laugh and play, continue to say; you look forward to tomorrow. Just don’t forget about what you have, maybe just today!

Maybe tomorrow, a day you may not get to see; don’t put off what you can do today. Take today, the day you know you have been given. You never know what the future brings. Tomorrow is never promised; Today is your day, to let your light shine!

“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Matthew‬ ‭6:34‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Jump Up!

It’s August, here in Toronto; it’s Caribbean carnival weekend, Soca fever. This message is not about Soca fever, but how to get soaked; by a forever rain. Winey winey, stop whining; even if it’s just a tiny whiny. Whining will never bring your heart closer to true love. It comes from truly seeking, to know a forever reign; within your heart!

There is power in the name of Jesus, to break every chain. Ask Him to open the flood gate, in abundance. To make it rain, to let the soaking rain fall; to feel forever drenched, within the reign!

Take your hand out of your pocket, and wave. Get a rag, if your heart can feel the heat. Wave the white rag, feel the sweet surrender; let your heart truly feel the rain. Wave the rag like you just don’t care, who sees; jump up jump up, and praise!

Like I said my friends, I’m not here to preach; just to share my heart. There’s nothing wrong with jumping up, as long as you remember; to keep your heart grounded. I was born in the Caribbean, so I know what is the jump up fever. As a teen, a friend wanted me to come with him to a carnival; my one and only. My heart had been called, to do the jump and praise. So the only jump up I do; is when it’s time to jump up, and praise the Lord!

“Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with timbrel and harp. For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭149:3-4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The One Thing!

There is one thing, one desire; may it come to be your one thing. My flaws are great, but true love is greater; that’s how you find true forgiveness!

There is one thing, one thing that has no rival; one thing that has no equal. My heart will never be equal, but within my heart; there will never be a rival!

There is one thing, one thing that my heart has let establish a Kingdom; one thing, my heart will let get all the glory. One thing; the King, of Glory!

I’m not here to preach, I’m not even here to teach; I’m just here to tell a story. I have one thing on my heart, one thing on my mind; one message within my soul. Take from it what you want, leave what you don’t care to hear. Disagree with it all, if that’s the one thing; you just don’t want to hear. I’m just here to tell a story, this is my story; that much, I’m sure you can agree. This is my one thing, one love, one heart; the one thing, my heart knows to be true!

Jesus, your heart, your love, your name; my three in one. The One Thing, my heart can count on. What a beautiful Name; the name of Jesus! My friends, can I ask you just one question; what is, your One Thing?

“Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,” Philippians‬ ‭3:12-13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The Destination; Deeper!

For almost fifty years, my heart has been on a journey. A journey to be more than just forever changed; the destination, deeper. Thirty three years ago, my heart was amazingly changed. Learning to walk within the truth, that was the challenge; moving when I needed to be still, that was what my heart needed to learn. How would I truly know the destination, if my heart wasn’t willing to be led?

Like with most journeys, it begins with just one step; the kind, baby steps. I felt I didn’t need to be coddled, but even a baby. Needs to learn how to be held, until they can no longer fall; for anything. The changes within are now truly profound, I have found; that you can’t truly lead, without first knowing how to follow. Training, dedication; testing. The journey is taking my heart to uncharted places, the ultimate destination; deeper!

This is a journey to know, but it’s becoming a story to tell; let me try to tell you how deep is this love. Please don’t try to stop me, you will never be able to deter me. The path has already been chosen, my heart will never be persuaded. Deeper is the destination, forever has always been my destiny. My heart knows the way, my soul is being led by the truth; the road, will take me deeper. The journey has changed my life, never ending; will forever be the story, deeper is the destination!

My heart knows how to love, my heart is being transformed by a love; deeper is where this love is taking my heart. I’ve learned how to stand, but my heart is being taught; how to stand out. You can’t go deeper, if you stand on only what’s sure. My heart’s not going to move, even though moving will take me somewhere; my heart has been called, to go deeper. So my heart will not move, my heart is still learning how to always be led!

My heart is on a journey, a journey to be more than just forever changed; God’s love has been my path. Thirty three years later, the time has come; to be about my Father’s business. The Destination, taking your heart with me; Deeper!

The Challenge!

Words, People forget how Powerful Words can be; Written, or Verbal. Word can Motivate you to Achieve Greatness. Unkind words can take root, and break your Heart. Kind Words can give HOPE to a lost soul; when all their heart can see, is a little hope. The Challenge, having enough faith to see beyond!

Words, they have the ability to Paralyze; fear becomes the word, that stops a heart from being free. Some words can Crush the spirit, leaving a heart feeling Broken; years pass, and the brokenness still Lingers. The Challenge, knowing how to be an overcomer!

Words; so many to choose, to speak. Negative words have the ability to Hurt; Deeply. But it doesn’t have to become your reality; rejection, should never be The Challenge!

Speak words that demonstrate character. Choose words that Inspires, Encourages, Builds Up. Words that give LIFE, to a heart in need; that brings JOY to the soul. One word I know, has the power to fortify your heart; God!

The challenge I put before you is this. Think before you speak, act on God’s word. Let it help you, to take every thought captive; before they become, The Wrong Words!

“May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord; my Rock, and my Redeemer!”

Psalm‬ ‭19:14‬ ‭NIV‬‬
