Listen To My Heart!

Listen to my heart, how does it truly sound? Does it sound pleasing, or does this question sound; like it’s intended to please my own heart? Would it please You, if I said it still beats for You profusely; or would You just think, that it’s a heart still beating out of control?

Listen to my heart, do you believe; it’s trying to be in step with your heart? 123, 123, I have mastered the steps. But if I occasionally stumbled, would you think my love; is still a bit blind? Yes, I’ve messed up a time or two; closer to more times than I can count. Listen to my heart, at times I may have lost the rhythm; but never the beat. Your love is within every beat, within the very love that moves my heart!

Listen to my heart, the heart might only be the fifth largest organ in the body; but my heart is my voice. My heart has a voice, but it’s Your love; that gives it the strength, to stand the test of life. I have the power to choose, the choice has always been one and forever the same; letting Your love be the voice within. My heart has been loud, but the question is; has it been clear?

Listen to my heart, I will forever take hold of Your love; for You definitely have a forever hold of my soul. My heart gets to love You, without a single doubt; the best thing my heart will ever get to do. So when it seems the focus is not your heart, whenever it seems my words have left so much unsaid. Sometimes I’m just absolutely lost for words, so I try to let my heart be the one; to express the words within. Whenever you need to hear the love, whenever you need to feel the passion; listen to my heart!

The Message; No Love Greater!

In our weakness, there is a love; a love that is a strong tower. Power dwells within, the strongest love my heart will ever feel. The height no other love has ever shown, the length and breadth; what my soul would truly like to know. More than a conqueror, what we become; through this love. A love that frees hearts held captive, chained to the law; sin and death. A love that liberates hearts in bondage, strength in weakness. Through this love hearts have become justified, predestined; graciously called. If God’s love is for us, what can truly stand against; why put your trust in another? Hope thou in, find freedom within; there’s no love greater!

Your heart can climb up the highest mountain, your soul can set out across the deep blue sea to find. Just search your heart, check the crevices of your soul. When you look deep down within, you will forever find. Sin is great, but the love of Jesus is greater. Yes, this I know; not just because the Bible tells me so. Once your soul feels the depth, within your heart; it cannot be unfelt. How mighty, how much it defends; how much joy it gives. When the enemy tries to infiltrate your soul, He surrounds your heart with His love. There’s no rival, no equal; no love is greater!

My friends, this is your season for a great harvest. Put on your armor, pick up your sword; but let Jesus’ love fight the battle. King Jesus, may our hearts always stand on Your promise. May we always chase after Your heart, and forever embrace Your love. May we allow Your love become King of our hearts, Lord over our soul. Your name will crush our enemies, but Your love will forever defend us; celebrate His love daily. We can search the world, but there’s truly; No Love Greater!

“And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.” Philippians‬ ‭1:9-11‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Song Inspired; Lady!

Lady, has my heart been your knight in shining armor? Did I ever make you wonder, if my heart would always fight for your honor? Does my heart truly shine, or just an armor; your love is still trying to penetrate? It’s taken years for you to truly trust, my love. I promise to take a lifetime, to prove that you can forever trust my heart. Sweet woman, let me be perfectly clear; your love has helped to make me. Helped to shape me, into the man I am today; your love has helped to make me whole. I’m grateful; I truly am, Lady!

My love, there’s so many ways, so many ways that your love has touched my heart. If I haven’t said it enough; “I Love You; forever, I do.” If you ever need to be held, my arms are always open. Your love will forever be held, within my heart; the endless embrace. If you were to ever leave me, I would truly be the fool; the foolish heart to ever let go. You’re a blessing, a true blessing from above; you’re the love promised. The day when the Father whispered into my heart, that He had for me a love; straight from His heart. Every morning when I rise, I don’t miss an opportunity; to kiss upon love. Whisper into your heart, just to let you know; you’re still my special Lady!

My heart would truly experience loss, so much loss without your love. Lady, just so you know; I would rather get lost in your eyes, found in your heart. In my eyes, I see no other love. In my heart and soul, You and God. There could never be anyone else, my heart is already full. Your love is my love, my love is your love; God’s love, our love. This three strand cord, the love that cannot be broken. I need your love beside me, close to my heart. Where it was meant to be, where I will forever need it to be. The love of a strong woman, the love I need in my life; you, sweet Lady!

The song Lady, was written by Lionel Richie. It was first released, and sang by Lionel in 1998; but made famous when Kenny Rogers released his version in 2001 (my favorite rendition).

With Valentine’s Day approaching, and this being song Inspired Friday. Today’s post is dedicated to my special lady, this marks our 32nd valentines together.

I hope everyone enjoyed today’s post, have a wonderful weekend!

Restrain!

A flood was coming, my heart seemed ready; but ready meant expecting, that the water was restrained. I couldn’t stop it, a tidal wave of emotions; was about to crash against my heart, so I shut the door. But where could my heart truly hide, my soul wasn’t yet ready; to be swept away. A tsunami like emotion, wanted to flood my soul. My heart, tried to satisfy the overwhelming feelings; with just a peep through the window of my soul. But the bottled up emotions, the dam; unrestrained!

There was a resistance, my heart wouldn’t let go of my soul. My heart thought it was all under control, trying to keep my soul in check; but it could not restrain, being overwhelmed. My heart couldn’t hold back, could no longer suppress; the struggle, could not contain. The water burst through the weakened barrier; with it, came the rain. My soul was drenched, my heart poured out. My heartstrings, tethered to a love; the rain, a display of my affection. So much love filled my soul, but it was exactly what my heart needed; to help ease the rain, until the water receded!

Through all the struggles, this one thing my soul has always known. My heart, Your love; forever meant to be. The more of Your love that floods, the more of You my heart is still left wanting. My heart is captivated, so much in love; my soul will never get enough of Your love. Overwhelmed by just the thought; heart and soul. So the rest of my days, will be spent in pursuit; I’m after Your heart. The rains came, my heart swept away; my soul flooded, with an overwhelming love. A heart now left forever submerged, but no longer, Restrained!

The Spotlight!

Light, camera, action. Shine Your love, put my heart in the spotlight. I’m not scared of the spotlight, I’m not scared of Your light. Turn on the lights, I will step in front of the camera; let me put Your love on display. It’s truly time for action, it’s time for my heart; to put Your love in the spotlight. The strength of Your love, shines on me when I’m at my weakest. Shimmers within my heart, Your love lights up my soul. My heart truly must be, Your spotlight!

My only desire; to be a true representation, of Your love. A beautiful portrayal, a true mosaic; a wonderful characterization of Your heart. Your love makes my heart shine, do You see it brighter than all the stars in the sky? If not, I will endeavor to be more up front with my heart. Try to make every moment personal, forever center my love; right in the middle of Your heart. Just so the light within, will be truly the brightest light; a spotlight to demonstrate Your love!

I will no longer hide my heart, Your love forever needs to be in the spotlight. May this heart of mine, truly showcase the greatness. Your love is meant to be in the spotlight; up front and center. So therefore move my heart, until it’s my ego that’s forever moved; out of the way. Others will see my heart, I try to make sure they see; Your love is on display. The spotlight; belongs to You, and You alone!

The Message; In Harmony!

Pitch perfect, it’s not just hearing, but feeling. The heart creates the perfect melody, the soul feels the constant harmony; let love forever be the song. It doesn’t matter how hard we try, our love will never come forth as perfect; we are flawed, but our hearts can still be in harmony. What we have, is still what we truly have; give freely from the heart. It’s not about the mite, but that you truly might; sincerely do it with love. One focus, two or three in agreement; together in harmony!

In formation, with a distinct quality; God like, through a spirit. The young, the old; a balance of weak and strong; in unison, in delightful harmony. Love within its true simplicity, hearts joined together as individuals. Each with their own part to play, but still called to show sympathy. To show true friendship, one voice; in concert, bound together with love. Displaying a true synthesis of emotions, in oneness of heart; showing complete unity. May the hearts of God’s children, in one accord; be pitch perfect, In Harmony!

“Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.”

The Rebel!

I confess, I’m a rebel; bonafide! The cause, resistance at all cost. Each day I rise, rise up in opposition; to mount a rebellion. My heart will not conform, my soul is armed with the sword. A clearly outlined strategy, on how to resist; “the so called ruler of this world.” I’ve spent years working on my big guns, hope and faith; this warfare is spiritual, not physical. I will proclaim to him (the ruler), that I am the real deal; a rebel to the core, born to resist. Let the enemy know, I come with authority. This rebel will speak with boldness, and forever speak God’s truth!

This is war, left right, left right; the sound of a man. A Christian soldier, unapologetic to the cause. An insurrectionist, a resistance fighter; forever rebellious. Resistance will never be futile, my heart refuses to be assimilated; freedom came with a cost. I was born to be a maverick, an Independent thinker. Don’t ever mistake my silence, for weakness; silent rivers run deep. My heart was predestined, to challenge the norm. A heart of a warrior, cannot affect true change; without first willing to be a revolutionist. A loyal insurgent, taking thoughts captive. Taking back territory, influencing hearts and minds!

Opposer, shots fired; you’ve been warned. I’ve done my opposition research, read in on the best strategies; what’s needed to have a successful strategic warfare, praise is my weapon. The struggle is real, with the flesh; not within my heart. I don’t come in my own strength, or with guns blazing; I come with a heart exposed. This is not just about being rebellious, not just about taking back territory. This is about a takeover, of a love in relentless pursuit of my heart and soul. Surrender wasn’t the Option, it was a Choice. I can’t even call it a take over, my heart chose complete surrender!

The mandate; fight the good fight, tread upon serpents; resist and he shall flee, seven ways. I will never justify my rebellion, this is about taking possession; to seize what has been stolen, or forfeit by default. Opposer, your tactics, and my heart will forever be at odds. When it’s all said and done, I will enter into my rest; not with a brave, but a faithful heart!

Can We Meet Again?

I don’t want to go back to the place where it all began, it‘s not the place that’s worth remembering; but a moment I will never forget. I was young, very much in love. But still had so much to learn, about being forever in love; in the true sense of the word.

My love was strong, but now stronger than ever. I will meet You where You are, right where You’ve always been. Not to reminisce about yesterday, won’t say maybe tomorrow; today is all I have, can we meet again!

Can we rendezvous, in our secret place; my heart, all I have to bring. O.C.D will not control the narrative, but I still hope; to truly leave nothing unsaid, can we meet? I will do my best to listen, I just want to hear Your heart; what does Your love have to say? I will wait right here, be still and know; even if it means forever, let forever be the place. Your heart is worth the wait, Your love is all I need. Being close to Your heart, the only desire; can You meet me again!

I need You to meet me here, all I want; all You are, will You meet me here? I will walk through the valley, fight pass all the shadows. I’m no longer a slave to fear; fear of the unknown, is not knowing Your heart. Your love is what I run to, my heart needs to go through the valley; to show the test of true faith. Your love has never failed to meet me, right in the middle of the valley; I realized without a shadow of a doubt. I can’t remember a moment, can’t even recall a second; that You’ve ever forsaken to meet. So I promise, to never forsake Your love; can we meet, again!

The place where my soul was forever moved, the place where our love is strengthened; the place where the passion, truly comes alive. Here I am, please come. I promise my love will be devoted, and my heart; forever Yours! Every day these dry bones are awakened, but every day; there’s still a thirst, Your love is what makes them not become brittle. You never disappoint, whenever I have a need; Your love never fails to meet, You’re always on time. Can we meet again, You know the place; it’s within my heart!

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!
