The Selfless Heart!

Nanu Nanu.

Hey friends, can I pull up and park beside your heart? The two words above are from a tv show that aired around 1980; called Mork and Mindy. It was a greeting that Mork used, which basically means; Hello! The message below I wrote back in the summer of 2014. A time when selfies and mental health was taking flight, now they’ve taken center stage. Robin Williams was Mork, and his death that summer shocked me and the world, but got my heart thinking; so I wrote the following.

In society today we have new words, like selfie; which derives from the word self. There’s nothing wrong with the words self or selfie; we just need to put them into prospective. Don’t let them take root within, and evolve into the word; selfish. Read the questions below; assess yourself as a person. See if the word that best describes you is none other than the word; selfless?

Question:

• Is the love for your partner in life true, unconditional; forever?

• Do you feel that it’s an absolute need to encourage, and speak life into the hearts of those around you; just because?

• Can you see more beauty within people, more than the beauty you see; in the mirror?

• Do you work hard; regardless of how you feel, or even if you never get recognized?

If you’ve said yes to these questions, then it’s exactly as I thought. You see that it’s not about you, you’ve chosen to walk the path of selflessness. You haven’t bought into the message being told these days; “that it’s all about you!” You’ve realized, and know that it’s more rewarding to build up. Your selfless act could very well be the lifeline, that they so desperately need; to stand, stronger. We should never make life all about us, shine bright the light you have within. Be that beacon of hope, someone just may need to see the light. The only light they see, probably comes from a darkened soul; but the darkness, still overwhelms from within!

Whispers!

My heart wants to tell a thousand stories, of how Your love has been so precious; as precious as the air. Your love is my breath; life. Breathe a deeper understanding of Your love into my soul, until I have ten thousand stories. Your love is not just life, but everything. My heart will breathe deeply; overwhelmed would just be the start, amazing would still never be the end!

My soul just can’t seem to believe, that it’s playing second fiddle to my heart. Your love is that gentle feeling, that moves my heart in and out. The air my heart breathes, every breath within my lungs. Your love is the gentle whisper upon the wind, absolutely blowing my mind. To uncover the scars, You want my heart to be forever exposed; to show the beauty within Your love!

Your love flows gently within my heart, every breath of Your love moves my soul. Breathe, I need every breath within my heart to be just Your love. Every facet, gently moving, but mightily felt. Your love doesn’t just blow my mind, it has shifted my heart; but forever moves my soul. A love undeniable, truly unexplainable, but so unforgettable; Whispers!

Trying!

Tell me, does my heart please you; does my soul speak truth? With all my heart, I’m trying to show the love. With everything that’s within me, myself, yeah, I do; do love You. Do You believe that, or am I still that fool… ish heart; still trying to reach Your heart with just my own strength? Here I am, looking through the lens of my own heart, it can become broken; not shattered, hello!

Do I, oh does my, can you truly feel the love that resonates from within? The struggle is real, sometimes I feel like I’m not getting anywhere; are You trying to tell me something? Closer, draw my heart closer; let Your love be the only thing I hear. Liar, liar, heart of mine the devil is still a liar. God’s trying to tell you something; speak Lord, my heart’s listening!

When the love moves, my heart wants to move. When He breathes, I hold my breath; the awe and wonder. When I exhale, I once again get moved; the love is what moves my soul. With every breath, my heart takes; the love moves on the inside. My heart moves, trying to allow the love to breathe through my soul, but only when; I stop trying on my own. Shh, shh, listen; God’s trying to tell you something. Let His love move your heart, don’t try to move your own heart. Don’t even try to breathe on your own, just listen; then let the words flow out as love, like a river!

The Shift!

Shift your thinking with me for a moment. Let me ask you this question; do you live to thrive, or do you allow your heart to thrive, as you live? Ponder that within your heart for a moment, let it shift you within your soul. God made us to thrive, within every area of our lives. I don’t want you to just see the difference, but feel different; from a shift within your soul.

Friends, let your hearts go through a shifting. Down shift, up shift, then uplift; shift a heart with a word that will truly uplift. Allow your heart to be shifted into your destiny, by The Shifter of hearts. Take a deep breath, whenever your soul gets overwhelmed; your heart is shifting to another level. Free your mind, Shift, ALT, Delete; unlock the love within your heart. Open up your heart, and receive within your soul; the shift!

Finally, my brothers and sister; whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things! Phil 4:8

Alphabet Soup!

The world says that to be socially accepted, you have to know that it’s always; I before E, except after C. But I just can’t C, with my eyes; I use my heart. Can somebody please tell me; how can I ever put I before E, when all I can C, is U?

I’ve tried the whole alpha male routine, but at the end of the day. I still couldn’t bring myself to put, the I first; this is still all about U. What a dilemma, so I wrestled with this very notion night and day. As a child, I learned that there’s no I, in team. I even learned that, A.E.I.O.U are very important; but lest we forget, sometimes there’s still the Y. Yes, why do I feel that “U” mean more to me; than all others put together?

Every day I do a sound check, but better yet, I should say I do a gut check; I forever hear U, moving within my heart. So the question still remains to be asked; Y do You love me so? That must be why the words I vowed will always be about; U. As an adult I have yet to see the, I in love. So do I search for my wants, or do I give You what You desire; my heart. This is not about how I feel, but it’s about how much the U within my proverbial soup; means more to me than I can ever say!

Your love is just like alphabet soup, for I just want to hang on every single word; that comes out of Your heart. Knowing the 123’s is a good starting point, but I see all the ways the letters, turns into words; that just blows my mind. The ABC’s turns into words, the very words I use to express how much Your love has totally and completely transformed my heart!

I know that alphabet soup by itself could never be enough to sustain my heart. That’s why I’m adding the meat and potatoes to my dilemma. Your love is the substance, that gives my heart life; abundant. So let my heart enjoy a hot bowl of Your love. It will forever be the warmth down within my soul; my heart will never truly be contented, with just a cup of Your love. My heart now has substance; my heart is full, but still feasting. The ” I ” within me is silent, this needs to be about; U, and U alone. Your love is becoming so clear, can I get an A, yeah; Amazing!

  • Hey everyone, there is a word within the bowl for you to unscramble. They are clues within the poem, and the message in the picture! Have fun, let’s see who will solve it first!

Ridiculous!

How ridiculous, nothing but amazing; to be loved by You. People might think that’s laughable, maybe they think it’s a bit comical. That’s okay, with my soul; my heart is chuckling. I have a joy, enough said; unspeakable. They just don’t know, what it’s truly like; to be ridiculously loved by You. I can’t blame them, I too had a foolish heart. But now I know that it’s ridiculous; that I even get to be loved by You. But now it’s become serious, they need to know what it’s like; to be loved by You!

My heart is getting to know the height, the depth, the length and breadth of Your love. Just to grasp that, my soul would know how real, how wide, how deep is Your heart; how amazingly rich is my soul. Your love fully knows my heart, but better than that; it’s ridiculously loved by You. Your love whispered into my heart, pulled me close; then turned my heart absolutely inside out. Now it’s truly mind blowing, how I’m allowing my heart to be ridiculously exposed. My heart can no longer hide it, my soul won’t ever deny it. This love is so real, truly remarkable; my heart is forever in love!

My heart will never deny Your love anything, my soul wants to give You my everything. Sure, this might sound a bit ridiculous, my heart is not even my own; the price has already been paid. When my heart seeks You, my soul will find You; then my love will truly get to know You. You won my heart, by the truth I’ve found within Your love. I can’t even lie, Your love is now my truth. Ridiculous, maybe, but true; nevertheless. All my dreams are found in my every heartbeat, that’s were Your love forever resides. If my heart doesn’t have You, then my soul has absolutely nothing. Let them say whatever they want, my heart is fixed within Your gaze. My heart knows Your name, but my soul will forever call this love; Ridiculous!

My Cup!

My cup is full, but yet so empty; how could that even be? My heart is open, pour within; fill my cup. Fill it up, let my heart overflow. My heart has tasted bitter roots, but Your love has turned my heart from bitter to sweet. Your heart is the sweetest, a heartwarming love; Your love burns deep within. My heart has been through much; but Your love still fills my cup!

It doesn’t matter how tough an exterior may seem, a heart can still break. Fragile, handle with care; that will never be the label that forever stains my cup, fill it. My heart is the cup, Your love is the substance. Just knowing that, fills my soul, with so much joy. My heart was once a jar of clay, but Your love is what has molded my heart. Fill it up, let Your love burn within!

My skin is like coffee… black, but my soul will now and forever be red. Your love has changed my heart, from the inside. All I want, is for the world to truly see; that Your love is overflowing, on the outside. Put one hand on my love handle, then use the other hand to wrap Your love completely around my heart. I want to feel the love, stir my soul; with just the breath of Your warm embrace!

Your love moves me, I want to pour out my heart and soul. For Your love gets my heart so shaken, but I just cannot help to be absolutely stirred; just knowing that Your love wants to feel my every heartbeat. Let Your love call my heart home, let our hearts forever be one.

You’ve poured so much love into my heart, and now it’s spilling out into my words. I am ready, so ready to let the whole world know; how much I’m in love. Fill my cup, fill it up; quench the thirsting within my soul. Mmm, Your love is so good; for my soul!

By Faith!

By faith walls will fall, seas will part. By faith mountains will move, giants will be slain. All you need is just a little, let your faith rise; from the inside!

My friends, faith comes by hearing, hearing The Word, not my words; the just lives by faith. Let faith change your circumstance, let your faith be in abundance. Let faith be the substance; that forever shifts your heart and mind!

By faith the deaf shall hear, blinded hearts shall see; wandering souls shall come face to face with the truth. Faith is the key, to unlock the blessings. Step into your destiny, walk faithfully; but walk wholeheartedly. Walk by, walk in, walk through… the darkness; by faith!
