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!

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!

Hello!

On the other side of the glass you see some baggage; your heart is going on a journey!

On the other side of the glass you see a list of mistakes; it’s a list of what not to do!

On the other side of the glass you see someone struggling to stand; strength is found within the courage!

On the other side of the glass you see someone, picking up pieces of a broken heart: broken, not shattered.

Look closer, you will notice that the glass is reflective, showing the things we so desperately try to hide; reflections within a heart. No matter how hard we try, we will never be perfect. We have flaws, just don’t focus on them; it’s just part of the journey. He who is without sin, cast the first stone; my heart too is not blameless. We all have a heart of glass, let it be the proverbial window into the soul. I will let you see into mine first; then perhaps you will feel at ease, to introduce your heart to me; hello.

Mirror, mirror; show them what I can already see, that we all have the courage within to face our own imperfections. We will all experience brokenness, but Joy comes; breathe… it’s morning. Show me the reflections, tell me about the brokenness. You are more than what others see on the outside. I see through the lens of the heart; what’s good, and what’s true. Friend, welcome to my heart, the window is open. May it truly reflect the light that shines within, you have my attention; hello!

Don’t miss the message within the picture!
Let me see into your heart!

Paid In Full!

You tried to cheat me, but Jesus paid it all.

You tried to steal what was not yours, but Jesus repaid it all.

You tried to keep what was rightfully mine, but Jesus still paid for it all.

You tried to rob me of my peace of mind, but Jesus paid the ultimate price.

I now have my own peace, His love; but how could my heart ever repay? My heart is eternally indebted; the blessings, they overflow. Love those who hate you, pray for those who mistreats you. Love unequivocally, love unconditionally; just love.

People cheat, steal, or even keep what’s rightfully yours. Leave them with it all, they must have needed more than you. Your account will be credited to you, as righteousness. Every single one of your debts were paid in full; the moment Jesus paid it all… for you. He wanted our hearts to be free. Free to receive, free to love, free to give; it all. Your true wealth will forever be His amazing grace. My prayer is that your hearts will truly feel PAID for; but forever be FULL!

Life; The Journey!

Our lives are but for a moment, the journey begins with just a breath; breathe deeply. We enter the world, depending on others to help guide us. We don’t worry about tomorrow, we’re still trying to trust in our today. We’re trying not to fall, until we’ve learned how to steady our hearts; for the journey before us. It’s one day at a time, with one foot in front of the other; baby steps, it all begins with one. We start to grow in stature, not loosing sight; that you still need to have the strength, of character. To help navigate the journey; life.

The journey will take us from place to place, as we learn how to thrive moment by moment. Cherishing, relishing; the precious moment we get. The journey will excite your soul, let it take your heart higher and higher. The height of the journey; will be the journey into the depth of the soul. The journey is sure to challenge your heart. You the strength within; slay your Goliath. Don’t let that obstacle stand in your way, stay focused on the journey; the long and winding road. Be bold, courageous; then go overcome.

Stretch your faith, as far as the east is from the west; the potentials are truly endless. Do you have the faith, it begins with believing. Your life is a story; when one page closes, another chapter begins. Fill your heart with love, add to it your passion; but don’t forget the joy. Seek peace, but pursue virtue. Never give up, don’t ever lose hope. Stay the course, don’t stop until you’ve finished the journey. Someone might be following the light, the light shining through your life; the journey!
