I Believe!

I believe in dreams, I believe in miracles; I believe in love. I believe in finding, I believe in wanting, I believe in needing; I believe having, means needing you. I believe in ups, I believe in downs; I believe the ups outweigh the downs. I believe that things will go sideways, I believe in staying always; I believe in staying beside you. I believe in the first moment, I believe in that first day; my heart fell in love; forever with you!

I don’t need to believe in fairy tales, I don’t believe you get very far with wishful thinking. I believe in hard work and dedication, to help get a heart where it needs to be. I believe in an encounter, I believe in a presence; I believe in a touch. I believe in the impossible, I believe in the inevitable; Que Sera Sera. I believe still to this day, it was meant to be. I believed it wouldn’t be perfect, but I believed it would be always; I believed it would be forever. I believe in our love, you and me forever; I Believe!

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 also hope all the wonderful ladies reading, gleaned something for your own hearts? I don’t usually post every day, but I am considering; adding a small Tuesday and Thursday post for next week only. 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 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!

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!

Fun Friday; “What’s Gotten Into You?”

Two friends, Joe and David; were hanging out the other day. Out of the blue; Joe made a fist, and punched David. When David asked Joe why he did that, Joe said; the devil in me made me do it. Okay, David said, I forgive you; I will pray for you. A few minutes later, Joe punched David again for no reason. Joe immediately Apologized; I’m so sorry David, the devil is strong in me today. Yeah, I know David said; the devil had a hold on me, he made me do things I didn’t want to do. So Joe said, thanks for your understanding David!

But a few minutes later, as David was drinking some of Joe’s Kool-aid, it happened again. At this point David was really frustrated. He turned towards Joe so fast, that it startled him; causing him to fall off his chair.Then, without any warning; David stood over Joe, and for a couple seconds put his foot on Joe. This totally caught Joe off guard, and he just looked at David for a moment. Then said; wow David, the devil is really working overtime in you too? No, David said; that was all my doing. You know I’m a Christian, the devil has no hold on me anymore!

Very puzzled, Joe asked; then why did you make me fall off my chair? Well, Joe; even though I’m a Christian; I still sometimes struggle with anger issues, but God is doing a new thing within my heart. I’m not as bad as I used to be, but until He’s done; I will continue to pray for both of us. But whenever the spirit moves me, I will still have to rebuke the devil in you. Every time he forgets, and needs me to demonstrate; that he’s supposed to be under my feet. Joe, we will always be close; my brother from another mother. But I will be vigilant, will always be on the lookout. Just in case the devil in you, tries to pick another fight; and once again, needs to be put in his place!

iPray; Not For A Moment!

Father, even after all Your children have done; Your heart is still so patient; so loving. So many, haven’t learned a simple truth; to let the peace of God, rule over our heart. Darkness is again trying to cover the earth. Many in the world don’t seem to be bothered, by the darkness, the lawlessness. May Your commandment be the firm foundation, that once again governs our hearts. But You are still so good, sovereign, holy; faithful. Your promise still holds true; that You will Never Forsake, Not For A Moment!

Father, do we have the heart; to love You, the way You want us to? iPray we all do, iPray we have the courage; You deserve our Hallelujah. Getting to know Your heart, may that forever be our passion. Within these darkened days, help us to securely anchor our faith; not in each other, but Your love. So many are searching for something, so many are excepting of everything. But if we don’t have Your love, we truly have nothing; worth having. You have never stopped loving us, No; Not For A Moment!

Father, help us to see, not with eyes; but with our hearts; to see Your love, within the darkness. iPray with all our seeking, we pursue only one thing; Your heart. For when we seek Your heart, we would truly realize; Your love for us, is deeper than we can ever imagine. May we forever draw closer to You, get lost within Your love; find ourselves, within Your heart. There is no us, no me; no tomorrow, without You. We can do nothing, we are truly nothing; without You. Even if we choose to exercise our free will, Your love will never change; Not Even, For A Moment!

Daddy, iPray for the world, for all those on WordPress. Trying to inspire, but may You use each word; to help change hearts. May Your kingdom come, Your will be done. If we look to You, we will surely find You; moving within our midst. Good Good Father, I Love You, I do. May we forever seek Your heart, to come face to face; with Your love. In 2019, and every year thereafter! In Jesus’ Name, Amen!
