K.I.D.S; Love Is The Battlefield!

They’re strong, and no one can ever convince them that there’re wrong; so love becomes a battlefield. They’re young, and they don’t give you any promises, even if you demand it; so love stays a battlefield. We battle every day, just to agree that we will always disagree. So the battlefield turns into a mind field; the chaos is now the war zone. They will never give in, but we shall never give up. There’s too much at stake; their hearts, and your sanity!

So the battle rages on, but for one simple reason. K.I.D.S; Kid Irritation Disorder Syndrome. There’s no cure for it, this is a lifelong dilemma. This is an infectious love, absolutely worth injecting into our hearts. But if we’re not careful; improper treatment, can devastate a home. One side effect, the struggle can drive you mad; if you let it. The cure; pray… for strength. Just remember, driving will always be a privilege; not a right. If that doesn’t work, they just might use their life savings; to buy you a one way ticket, aboard the train heading off the rails. The final destination; guilt trip central.

But what they fail to understand, is that you’ve been there done that… yourself. You have the t-shirt, saying it’s a lifetime commitment; on the love train, heading straight to the heart of what matters most. K.I.D.S is absolutely treatable; with the right amount of love and affection. So stay in the fight, endure to the very end. One day they will come to understand; love was the battlefield, but hearts become forever fortified. Heartache to heartache we stand, who can’t hear will feel; that the true battlefield, is outside the home!

The struggle is real, but this is a just cause; their hearts are absolutely worth fighting for. Don’t let it be about taking territory; who’s right, who’s wrong. Equip them for the battles ahead, equip them with the mantle of love. Soon and very soon, they too will need to know how to fight the good fight; when they have their own case of K.I.D.S. The heart of a warrior, will always hold on tight to the truth of love. True love will always fight the battles that counts. Winning the battles was never the goal, building a strong unbreakable bond; that becomes your forever victory. Search your hearts, there you will find the strength to stand. Love is a battlefield, but the fight; is absolutely worth it!

The Blind Man!

There once was a blind man, his mind was Asking, but his heart just needed to Seek; to know the love Knocking at the door of his heart. The blind man thought he needed sight to see, but he just needed the faith to believe. So the blind man started Asking; heart, can you truly believe in a love you can’t see? Then a small still voice said; Seek… first. So the blind man took hold of his baggage, he was taught to always follow his heart. He just couldn’t quite yet see; for his heart to be forever free of the baggage, he would need to be led by the spirit!

So the blind man started on the journey, and even though some blindness still covered his eyes; his heart was being opened. To see that the journey only required him to believe; faith would be the substance, that made everything else clear. The blind man was starting to see, but the vision was not yet clear. Everyone seemed as trees; their hearts were rooted within the world, but not grounded within the truth!

Along the journey the blind man sought to know the truth. Asking, Seeking, Knocking; he knew the steps, but still too blind to know how to be led. The blind man could see the truth, it was living within his heart. But so many around him just didn’t realize; to see, your heart would first have to be open. They couldn’t see the forest, they were trees; swaying, but he paid them no attention. His eyes were forever fixed on the light; hovering within the darkness!

So he kept his head down, but kept his heart vertical; his eyes were no longer blinded. So he studied, building true depth within his heart. Deep was the truth within, a love unspeakable; firm became the foundation. Years passed, and the once blind now had a story to tell. A love story, forever etched within his heart. The once blind man could finally see; that God’s love was the journey. Seeing was never the answer, believing was always the choice; that made hearts free, to forever see!

The Reign!

Your love is the sound we hear; the reign. It beats against the pane of our hearts. Soothing the heart, a comfort to the soul; it’s the reign!

I feel the love reigning within my heart, I feel it reigning down into my soul. Let it pour to the depth, let it reign to the very end; the forever reign!

Let the reign forever overwhelm the heart. Make the rain never stop falling from our eyes. Let our heart be so overwhelmed, that the rain washes away every doubt; that Your love will forever reign!

Drench our hearts, let the reign seep into the crevices of our minds; and soak intimately into the depths of our souls. God Your love is the overflow, our forever reign!

My silent river will run deeper, my heart has become forever exposed. With just a touch, with every little kiss from Your love; our souls can feel the reign. Showers, Jesus, Your love is an outpour of showers. The clouds are opening, let our heart be always open, to know that Your love; forever reigns!

A Mother!

As women, people like to label you; categorize you. When you’re young and single, they label you with words like; Hot, Sexy, Fearless. When a woman is older, married and have kids; you become far more than just a sticker price. The labels seen only through the lens of the eyes, but the heart is where the true beauty lies; into you, that’s what they need to see. A woman will never loose the label used to describe her youth, they just simply age like fine wine. Aging heightens the beauty; maturing is what defines the essence within!

As men, we absolutely need to know how to appreciate the true essence. Essence is defined as: An intrinsic nature. The indispensable quality that serve to characterize; that used to identify something, someone. It’s the most important ingredient, the crucial element. The inherent, unchanging nature; A Mother!

Sure, outer beauty is nice to have, but a woman is defined by her true beauty; the essence within. What really makes a woman truly special, is the definition that radiates from within. This label that I speak of, is that of a Mother; a label that speaks of Love, and true Strength. A Mother looks after the home, but that doesn’t define her. She nurtures her kids, with all the love within her soul. All while working to help support the family. A mother’s love; unwavering love!

When you’re young you may be able to turn a few heads, and be admired for your outer beauty. But when a woman truly knows her Worth, she doesn’t need to turn heads; she has learned how to inspire a generation, with her heart. She has truly realized that she is a SUPERWOMAN; with the ability to even stop hearts, with just her presence!

Mothers, the label; scratch that. You have a title; built on Strength, but the foundation is Courage. The strength to be, with the courage that is; flawless. Mothers, I Celebrate You this day, and every day. Don’t let any label define you, it’s a Title that best Describes You; A Woman!

God Bless You, Happy Mothers Day!

Hide and Seek!

I used to try to hide my heart from Your love, but You would know just how to find it; maybe because Your love was at the center of my heart. Sometimes I’ve even turned my back, but Your love was still so relentless. You clearly saw that I had a foolish heart, my heart could never truly hide from Your love. I tried to avoid Your touch, but could never avoid Your presence. Your love became my heart, the very moment I gave it to You. There’s no need for You to seek, my heart can no longer hide; Your love is my heart!

Hide and seek is a game that kids play. Passion, desire, love; they play endlessly within my heart. They may hide, but Your love forever seeks; my heart is Yours. My heart wants to forever brag and boast, that Your love has become my everything. The more I seek, the more of You I find. The more I love, the more reasons a want to love. I don’t want to ever hide my heart, not when Your love has been my hearts closest friend; my heart is never alone. I will never again hide my heart, it’s the only thing Your love seeks!

I will seek You first, seek You faithfully, but seek Your love wholeheartedly. Just so my heart can forever be found, enjoying the presence of Your loving embrace. If You were to ever hide Your love, I will seek Your face. If You were to ever hide Your face, then I will seek Your heart; to forever have Your love. A heart will never truly know You, until that heart stops hiding; don’t ever hide Your love from my heart. Hide and seek was a game my heart used to play; tag I’m it; a heart forever in need of Your love!

The Hurt Locker!

We’ve all been hurt, some of us can still even feel the pain. Scars fade, the pain goes away; if you let go, and let God. Give God your pain, don’t be ashamed to show Him your scars; there’s a locker. Sure, I know it’s easier said than done, but what’s the alternative? Just let it sit within your heart, and fester; until something becomes truly rotten, but it turns out to be your soul? Life is a journey, the path may not be easy. The journey can be sometimes short, don’t waist the moments looking back. Let it be, ashes to ashes; dust yourself off. The journeys not over, until Him face to face. His love will always, and forever be the final destination!

Let me tell you about my heart, may it be an inspiration. My journey has been far from easy, but it has truly made my heart stronger. My heart has been called, let your heart be one of the chosen; to be good, and truly faithful. My desire is to have a heart like David. It didn’t matter what David faced, he held true to his faith; in God. Even when he could have taken Sauls life, he waited for God to promote him; the hurt was placed within the locker!

I want my faith to be as bold as Job, he said; “though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him.” He lost every single thing he had, but yet his faithful heart; was secure within his God. That just blows my mind; curse God, die, wasn’t an option, not even a second thought for Job. What a great faith to truly behold, the hurt, the pain, the suffering; placed within his locker!

My friends, God’s got it; God’s got you, right in the palm of His hands. Put the hurt, the pain, put your trust; in Him who is able. His love is the key, He has a locker with your name on it. Give your hurt to Jesus, let His love be your comfort!

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!

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!
