You must think, our hearts are foolish? To keep finding ourselves lost, so many times? Following our own ill-advised path, has led us to this place; wayward. Hearts so far off course, but of course; you have to be open, to be able to truly see. Confusion says, a heart will always have a lack of understanding… in the darkness. Without first knowing the light, is what illuminates an uncertain path. Even a degree of separation, will never get a heart face to face, with the true destination. The days are like sands, of which time can never stop… from slipping away. To leave a lasting footprint, follow the blueprint. You have to stretch out our faith, to know where true hope is found. My words are truly at a loss, to capture the breadth and scope. Why we profoundly need to fix, a broken moral compass. May true love, permanently take us by the heart. The true Compass, how a heart finds Forever!
How can we be so lost, when the way has been made so clear? Hearts tethered to Grace, mercy forever leading the way? You’re not surprised, how we ended up in this place. Your love knows exactly why, we needed a savior. Even in an unprecedented moment, Your love is still the brightest lighthouse. In, and on the horizon; it will forever be, our beacon of truth. If our hearts are truly open to see, it’s our only hope. Even if we don’t see it, even if a heart doesn’t believe it; Your love is a compass. It’s guiding our hearts, helping us to navigate the pitfalls. Giving us glimpses of hope, within the darkness. Hearts may believe, they just need to rely on a G.P.S. But, what they leave out, of that flawed equation? God. is Positioning. the Sensor. His heart is the instrument, with such a magnetic love. His love the true northern star, that will never steer hearts in the wrong direction. Your love has set the parameters, how to find forever. The scope of Your love, breathtakingly has no limits. Unfathomable, but knowable. What will bring us back to Your heart, Your love; The Compass!
When an empty road, has the power to overwhelm the heart. And it doesn’t matter how hard you try, all your heart can see. Left, right, left, right; your heart is at a crossroad. Who; What; When; Where; Why; How? You ponder, but forget about the wonder. The Way forward, the direction that helps ease the heart; look up. Remember the Cross, the Road… may not be easy; but always necessary, for growth. You have so many plans, but God has His plan. “I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you, and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope, and a future. Then you will call on me, and come, and pray to me; and I will listen to you. You will seek me, and find me; when you seek me, with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:11-13 How a heart finds the courage, to get past the unprecedented moment. See not just an empty road, but to the Way… to Cross. To anchor your soul, forever on the winning side!
You might have a well planned system, your heart has come to rely on. It’s not about the perfect method, or the right technique. It will always be about the process… of elimination, doubt, and fear. To help a heart see the clear path forward, with faith and trust. When your heart feels overwhelmed, may your heart be the river flowing deeply; into an ocean of deepest love. God has made a Way, not for us just to expand our lungs. But be transformed, with a new heart Make-over. Displaying a radiant light, even on the darkest day. Peace, regardless of what makes the day seem uncertain? Let your heart move, breathe. Have your being… stilled, by the calming breadth of His love. His peace hovers, Hope found. Once the Way becomes clear, don’t follow the signs; that point your heart, in the wrong direction. Don’t blindly follow the church Way, follow God’s Way; through the Bible. You don’t have to strategize, every step you have to take. But know how to be led, through the heart of; The Way-Maker!
The fall is over, but yet there’s; an unprecedented chill… in the air. The days are a little darker, but therein; a radiant light still shines. It’s a time, when the expectation; is the spring forward. But, the time has brought; an unprecedented chill. Hearts expecting a welcomed bloom, but instead; forced to shelter indoors. Trying to ride out the storm, evade the darkness lurking… behind the shadows. Frustration, wants to tell each sudden gust, chill out. But then, a suddenly. On a calm, warm gentle breeze. A whisper is heard, underneath every breath. Peace, heart be still; this is just a season. “The days are fully known, you… deeply loved. Change is inevitable, but this too shall pass.” Yes, even in these chilling days. Let what overwhelms the heart, knowing the length, the height, the depth; the breadth of God’s love. In the midst, of what seems the darkest days. His love is Unequaled, Unparalleled, Unmatched; Undisputed. Even though the coldness, gives off such a harsh feeling; stand your ground. Undistracted devotion, what won’t let it be; just another mind, easily blown away. Hope found, how true breadth is understood. It’s in the knowing, how fear starts to recede. The extraordinary light of God’s love, will never be eclipsed; by any amount of darkness!
I can write about a lot of things, and even though; the temptation is to speak my mind. I have to be intentional, this is about the heart. I have to let my heart, continue to be faithful. Let the love within overflow, and pour out. Don’t allow the flesh, to become the story. Let His love still be the ink, my heart just the pen. So many, are still living in the past. Still living a wilderness experience, even though the Fall… is over! Grace transcends, unprecedented. The chill, but for a time. This is the season, to embrace the Reign. Yes, an overwhelming chill, lingers in the air; but, put it into perspective. Over the surface of the deep, a love still hovers. Soon, and very soon; God’s going to straighten it out. Until then, let the love be at home; nestled up against a restful soul. Even though the darkness, makes it a bit hard to see. The season has changed, it is finished. Each season, seen through every Revaluation and Truth. Even in the unprecedented, even in the uncertainty. Even now, God is… moving!
Break through the unbelief, break through the walls; put up around the heart. Let them crumble, watch them tumble. Don’t let a fortified Jericho, keep you from seeing the breakthrough; to the winning side. Fear to Faith, Anxiety; to Peace. A whisper in the stillness, a lullaby in the night. Even though there’s a mist, but then down comes the rain; tears don’t mean you’re losing, the battle. In the midst, of what you feel. There’s a presence, telling your heart; I AM… held. A heart knowing joy, with hope found. Giving the heart strength, with faith renewed; to face every tomorrow. Even if you can’t see it, even if you don’t believe it? Even now, you’re in the midst… of a breakthrough. Every soul needs to know, and every heart understand. Shadows are cast, because of darkness. But yet, there’s a light; that will never be eclipsed, by even the darkest days. The prevailing love of God, the light of heaven; shining bright in the dark. Breaking through, every clouded doubt; revealing the strength, of His love!
For you to see a true breakthrough, first there has to be the breakaway; from what you can only perceive. Breakthrough, shows the evidence, the breakaway be evident; a change has taken place, within heart and soul. A break through the tainted glass, that so many struggle to see through. A one sided barrier, between His love, and our heart. Let the unbelief, shatter into a thousand pieces. To become a bonded love, not easily broken. Breakthrough, is the push through, the press on; the never give up. The power to overcome, not in just strength alone; but where you place your confidence?
I tell you my friends, there’s absolutely nothing; impressive about my heart, or my faith. We prevail over sickness, prevail over fear. The light prevails over the darkness, to help us see through the lies; whispered in the dark. Chain break, through the prevailing; Grace of God. My heart, can ONLY see a breakthrough, because of the prevailing love within. May your heart also know, the hope, the peace, the love, the strength. Found only, through this Amazing love. How can you, forever know the Break-Through? Make worship a lifestyle, the love for a lifetime, for all your days. When your heart and soul knows, why you live and breathe? Then you will truly know, it was Finished; at the Cross!
It’s in the crushing, in the pressing… on. The getting through, what’s in the making. The heart, the seeing; new wine. A soul listening, what’s said in the stillness. There’s the hurting; people, the world; hearts broken. Yet, in the crushing; love, still the answer. In faith, not fear; in the believing, where hope is found. This is a season, a season when; old is made new. In the soiled, in the breaking… of the folly. In the yielding, in the surrender; comes new ground. Through the imperfections, true beauty can still be seen. It’s not about having the perfect heart, but the authenticity; representing beautiful. How can a heart savor the new, without appreciating what is. A soul not completely crushed, by what is… but for a moment!
Fullness, not about what you have in the Nest. But what truly makes your heart, forever Full. You can’t put new wine, into the old… way of thinking. The appreciating, is the savoring, and the cherishing. Don’t let the treasuring, be possessions. There’s a whisper in the dark, a song in the night; heard through the soul. God is speaking, are we truly listening? Be careful little feet where you go, be careful eyes what you see. Have a big heart, but be not deceived; to what you think you know. Darkness, will never produce light. If you yield yourself, God’s greatness will shine through. Bring out new wine, in you today. Forget about giving the heart tomorrow, a day that might be too late. This is a moment, to let go of a sour path, and take hold of the new… perspective!
Father, Your love is the only remedy. Let hearts, not to drink up the lies; the nicely flavored kool-aide. But taste and see, Your love is filled; with the only everlasting truth. Real love, full of so much substance. Crush our reality, if that’s what it takes; to see the best of hearts. Shatter the glassed ceiling, for even though Your love is so clear. Your love, the truth in plain sight; still so hard, for all to see. We came into this world with nothing, all we have… from You. For new wine to become, there has to be the crushing, and the pressing. The breaking down, what strongly holds; for the making into. The time is here for new power. Help us, to give up the old flame. Set ablaze the soul, a new blazing fire; forever seen upon our hearts. Make us a vessel, our hearts to You… the offering. When we truly trust in You, nothing else; will our hearts need to understand. Even if we don’t see it, don’t truly understand it. Even if we don’t feel it, You’re working. Under the quiet, in the stillness. Underneath every breath, Your love… moving. Through You, new wine. Fear has no choice, it bows. Chains can’t help, but to fall. Shame has to leave, when a heart is unashamed; Your love, the presence. This is a move, work on the inside… of us! In Jesus’ name, Amen!

I didn’t realize, that your heart wasn’t tightly; pressed up against my soul. I vowed, to keep it close. Never let your love not be, what forever moves my heart. You must surely know, and completely understand; I was busy, “trying to keep up with the Jones.” You see, it’s really not my fault; even though you had to watch from a distance, our hearts drifting apart. Okay, it absolutely was, me, myself, I… did leave you waiting. Looking, longing, wanting; to be closer. We were already close, and I knew your love was there, hovering; trying to get my attention. I didn’t notice, the distance between my every breath… a chasm. Hello, how truly profound… ly insensitive. How could I have not noticed; my heart on its own life support? The breadth of your love, so few and far between. A soul gasping, fluttering; for the love. That became my every breath, and water for my soul!
A heart disconnected, the soul needing to be reconnected. To the power source, where I find so much strength; through an undying love. My soul wasn’t feeling your heart beat, within my soul as it once did. Just a heart, feeling beaten. I try to listen, but I didn’t hear your voice. The small, the quiet whisper. My soul needed to be still, but my heart was speaking; when it should have been listening. I was looking for love, but there was this one tree; in the wilderness of my soul. Even though my soul, could recognize your voice from all the rest. So many voices surrounded my heart, crowding your heartbeat. Oh me, oh my heart; cry out… louder. Oh heart, stop; listen intensely. But at last, my soul went quiet; retreated back into the silent river. “Que Sera, Sera; what will be, will be.” A heart overwhelmed, a soul wondering; would ever be again?
A heart that ended up, wandering down memory lane. A soul now on a journey, through the heart of the lily of the valley. Showing the wonderful moments shared, and how the love was forever the guiding light. A heart, the soul, a want, the need; your love, the song… in the dark. The lonely river, slowly became the unfamiliar place. Over the years, my heart had spent so much time; living in an ocean of love. Deeply was the water, the love so refreshing, and each wave of deep eMotion. A heart knowing, such a gentle stream of love. A love running forever down, into depth of soul. The rain fell, the pouring out; into the everlasting reign. What was my soul to do, but let it be… dear, Lord. Let it be, back to the drawing. No dragging, no kicking; just a heart screaming, broken. It was the move, closer… than ever. A move to find, stepping out to be found; profoundly moved, in heart and soul!
A heart no longer adrift, in my silent river. A heart now back on the path, a soul no longer feeling so broken. A heart, realizing; a mistaken identity, will never change God’s love. When I thought, just give up… the faith; “His love said never, I will give up… your heart.” Patiently You waited, but the distance between widening; then your relentless pursuit. Why now, the love so much deeper. I see the love, through the lens of your heart; not just a one sided viewpoint. A renewed perspective, your love being the true vantage point. Never again will I allow, even a degree of separation; keep me from pursuing your heart. Forgive me, when I feel I’m making your heart seem unloved. To know the true depth of your love, in me; and my heart’s true worth, to You? It will be the forever seek after. The run down, the endless chase; and be a man after… your heart. I will always move to you, my soul will only stop at the moment. When You have my every breath, and my soul close enough to know; your love has stopped moving. My heart has become so relentless; trying to get Closer, to Your heart!
– I wrote this about six years ago, when my heart reflected on a moment lived a few years before. May it be an encouragement for your heart, to know it doesn’t matter what you’re going through. God’s love will never leave you where you are, but relentlessly pursue the heart, of those who truly want to know His heart!
Words spoken, but hearts; not ready to acknowledge the truth. A presence is moving, but yet; so many hearts not seeing? So much is happening, but many not perceiving. So much is said, under the quiet; but so many hearts; not yet open… to the receiving? Ears are hearing, eyes are seeing; but the heart pretending. Hark! Who goes there? So many think, this is a time within to play. Not realizing, it’s time to Harken. Sound off, one, two. There’s always a sound, that precedes a move… of God; what hearts must concede. So many hang up their hopes, on the evidently. Instead of forever resting their hearts, on the evidence in plain sight… for all to see. So many take notice of, but the heart not yet ready to act on. Action is truly required, if change is ever to take place… within. No point of listening, if the heart doesn’t see the need; to respond to what is being heard. Nevertheless, there is a move. The question is this, is the heart willing to be moved; by each gentle whisper? Words are spoken, but the heart has to be… Listening. Shh, quiet your heart. Listen, can you hear; in the midst, God is speaking? In His love, your heart will be… okay!
Father, even though uncertainty comes to the day; let the confusion never be… that You still reign. Your love is in words, in You hope is the word; a heart needs to know. Speak, let hearts know; in You freedom reigns every day. Let us not miss the moment, to what is said; when You whisper into the stillness. When the doubts soar, souls are overwhelmed. Help every heartbeat to believe, in You there’s life; in You hearts will conquer… the unknown. Father, when words are lost; may peace be still, be found. Hope in the storm, a song in the night. May we trust in You the Unseen, to find safety; when all seems lost… in the See. Help us to listen, when Your heart speaks. Your love is the first, the last; will always be the safest place. When the world don’t seem to know, where to turn? You know just what we need, know what we can’t see. Every season has a moment, and every moment just a season. Bring us to a higher place, take us into a deeper love; into a heart, so Renowned!
Hearts tossing and turning, souls gripped by fear… of the unknown. Underneath every breath, under the quiet; uncertainty looms. Hearts realizing the fragile state, a world broken. Hearts that haven’t yet found, the one thing they can cling to. My heart is not ashamed, to tell the whole world; I’m extra… clingy, you can read all about it. About a soul extra needy, a heart still hanging… on every word. No static, just the Cling; to the fragrance, of this gentle love. Even when words are not said, the love… everything; a heart will ever need. A whisper in the dark, a song in the night. With every tumble… out of bed, dry bones feel so refreshed. A soul clinging to the vine, a heart dialing into the main line. Love on the mind, the soul calling; to a heart so Divine!
Friends, I can talk about what I face, or what we all face in our everyday. My heart is intentional, we all should be intentional; to focus on what truly matters. The Cling, to the Divine. In these uncertain times, we can truly see; it’s a small world after all. Fear, and anxiety; has taken hold of so many hearts. Many are trying, to take hold of tomorrow. Forgetting to acknowledge, who holds every single tomorrow. When a soul doesn’t truly know, on what to cling? The default setting of a wayward heart, cling to everything. But, when we truly know how to be still. In the stillness, where the soul forever finds peace. To help the mind see beyond the fear, past the darkest shadows. Push through the doubts, to touch the heart of God. It’s in that place, your soul will know to cling tight. To never let go, of His faithful love. Don’t clutch to what you believe, is the last bit of Grace; that can be found. Don’t believe the lies, that you have to stockpile Mercy; because tomorrow your heart may not find any more. When you trust God’s love, every new morning; more you shall surely find. Don’t let your soul relent, faithful seek His heart. Let His love cuddle you, let your soul snuggle up in the warmth. Let your heart find a safe place, find your forever rest. In the midst, you WILL find Him… there!
Your strength, meets us at the place; called weakness. Grace pours out like an ocean, a river with an endless flow; the love so refreshing. When the feeling is called tired, when the candle is in a place named burned out; defeated, doesn’t have to be the heart. When fear grips the soul, and night covers the day. Lifeless faith, can still know Revival; when hope still has breath. Knowing Your love, panic will never be the button… calling my heart. Hope found, pressing deeper into Your heart; words in red letters. No other words, will ever crush my spirit; they don’t have my heart. Vital, the rhythm of dis ya love vital; for my soul Revival. Day after day, when another breadth dawns upon my heart; the love within comes alive. Love calls onto a heart, but the soul has to be willing… to answer the call!
Even when my heart, tasted bitter moments; the love just as sweet. Diving deeper and deeper into the depth, how my heart was Revived; through a constant drowning. The love is water, but moved like an ocean of love. When my soul, had an everlasting thirst. In the crushing… moments, with the pressing… on. After the getting through… the test, the love within; turned into new wine. You can give each cute heart shaped box an uptick, tell your soul; blindly check off all the right boxes. But without a faithful heart check, a true restoration; needs the love to first be Revived. Your body can turn up, but the heart not showing up… in a meaningful way. Don’t call love a comeback, love’s a coming together; a true heart to heart encounters. A soul reawakening, a deep down within heart desire. You can muster up the right amount of faith, add just the right kind of luster to hope. But the heart still needs to be in the right place, for the love to shine… bright. Real Revival, through a true connection; with heart and soul. A rebirth, a heart forever made new; by God’s love. A soul knowing true breadth, the heart knowing fully submerged. Forever drowning, in a breathless awe!
