My Sweet Sixteen!

My wish, that someday I will be every bit of a man; your heart needs me to be? Just know, till then; my heart will be faithful. Your love has always been sweet, you will always be; my sweet sixteen. Wish upon a star, wish that you may; but I wish that you might. Let all my love, be your one wish tonight!

So go ahead, make a wish, but don’t blow out the candles; I want your flame, to keep burning forever. Instead, do the thing you always do; blow my mind. Touch my heart, like you always do; tell me, is it still the right texture? The texture of not just a good, but a faithful man? Good feelings come and go, but faithfulness; will faithfully be, good!

Honey, make a wish; no need for any hesitations. God’s love is the cord, that binds it all together. My love is the gift, unwrap and take my heart; it’s yours forever. The love within, comes with a lifetime commitment. You may not be sixteen today, but you’re still my sweet love; I’m still sweet on you. Sweetie, it’s your birthday, but I too have been given a gift. Thirty plus years later, I get to reminisce; about the first birthday of yours we ever spent together. Happy Birthday, to My Sweet Sixteen!

Where my heartbeat was introduced, to the rhythm of Your love; this place.

Where Your love and my soul collide; this place.

Where Your love is forever anchored, within my soul; this place.

Where my love will never get tired, of chasing after You; this place.

The Ink!

Deep within my soul; there is a story, a love. The end, still being written. My heart is the pen, the love within; the ink, not yet dried. This story is evolving, the love that flows; endlessly reoccurring. My heart is now fixed within a gaze, this story; never ending!

When the story first began, my heart felt so empty. The ink, wasn’t yet part of the story; so I thought. The engraving, needed to be etched; upon my heart. The story includes my soul, but my heart was still becoming; this storyline, is about the ink. The transformation; was my heart, slowly needing to be filled. My heart was learning, but my soul was quietly yearning; for more. I knew the concept of led, but a pencil left me with the option. To erase, and then rewrite; my own version of the story. The pen was to be my heart, but still becoming. The ink, makes the love; the permanent part of this story!

There’s nothing special about my pen, just another pen; the ink, defines the substance within. Take your eyes off the pen, it’s the ink; that makes the words, recognizable. The words might seem beautifully penned, but my heart would never be able to capture the essence; without the love within. That is the tipping point, my words are just words. The tip of the pen has a point, so this is the point. This story would never truly have a consistent flow, without the ink; that makes the love become visible!

By design, the love within has left its mark; permanent. The story will continue, because the ink is ever flowing. The love story iWrite, flows from the love within. When the ink permanently dried, that was the moment. The moment my heart knew, the ink on my soul had dried, no erasing. So, let me make the beginning of the story clear; God’s love is the ink, that forever flows. My heart, just the pen; being used to tell the story, about the love within!

Weapons!

No weapon forged to steal my destiny, shall ever see the light of day; within my heart. My heart has been destined to succeed; succeed it shall. Some weapons come with the sole purpose, to shake your foundation. Not even an earthquake, or a national disaster. Will ever destroy the firm foundation, disturb my peace; the stillness that dwells within!

Weaponized words, can truly cut deep; let it be only skin deep. Guard your heart with a thick skin, don’t let any of the deep cuts; reach your tender heart. In time, all those flesh wounds; shall surely heal. The scars may remind; nothing truly worth having, is never without a true sacrifice!

Weapons have been used to attack character, don’t let it penetrate the heart; the truth that lives within. The heart has been built strong, but even the strong hearted; still needs to be forever anchored. God’s love, is the solid rock; anchor your faith within, keep your heart grounded. Let nothing uproot your hope, destroy your faith. Be wrapped up, tied up, tangled up; be secure, within God’s love!

One thing my heart have come to know. No Weapon Shall Ever Come Between; My Heart, and Gods Love!

“But in that coming day, no weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord; their vindication will come from me. I, the Lord, have spoken!” Isaiah‬ ‭54:17‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Aug 19, 2018

The Move!

First, there was a move, but then; the move started to become so constant. Over time, the move became a shift. At first it was truly glorious, but over time it seemed as if the glory; became us, not thus… I could feel it, my heart could absolutely recognize it. But sometimes, all I could say about it; was that I felt it. The move, was becoming a constant shift; but my heart was not always ready, to be moved!

Even within the stillness, the move was still a shifting; my heart still needed to be moved. Now, I just can’t help it; even if I tried, I couldn’t even prevent it. This love moves the stillness within, all my heart can do; is to enjoy the rhythm, within every heartbeat. There it goes again, another move; the shift, is what keeps my heart vertical. God, Your love just won’t stop, making my heart skip a beat!

I don’t want my ears to just hear, teach my heart to constantly listen. I don’t want to just see, give my heart the vision. So others can see, that my heart moves; because Your love is the breath. Each breath I breathe, moves my lungs; but let the words within my heart, reveal the breadth of Your love. It doesn’t even bother me, if I can’t recognize the man in the mirror; from the constant shifting. What would truly trouble my soul, is that You could not truly recognize my heart; because I refused to be moved!

How can I truly be used to move others to act, if my own heart is indifferent; to a world that needs to know. That the time has come, to embrace a love that truly moves; but will shift; your heart!

Maybe Tomorrow?

Maybe tomorrow, that’s what we so often say; but what about today? Are we so forward thinking, that we forget about; the here, and now? Every day we get, is truly a blessing; but the true gift, is that you got to see today!

Don’t just watch the beautiful bird as they fly, don’t try to count all the stars in the sky; don’t just let life pass you by, thinking what about tomorrow. Take hold of today, but don’t hold on too tight; save some love for tomorrow!

Yes, we all want a tomorrow, but first, let’s cherish our today. Jesus said, it’s He who supplies all your needs. Take His hand today, let His love be your tomorrow; let His joy be what your heart needs today, and every other day. Laugh and play, continue to say; you look forward to tomorrow. Just don’t forget about what you have, maybe just today!

Maybe tomorrow, a day you may not get to see; don’t put off what you can do today. Take today, the day you know you have been given. You never know what the future brings. Tomorrow is never promised; Today is your day, to let your light shine!

“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Matthew‬ ‭6:34‬ ‭NIV‬‬

LIEBSTER AWARD!

I would like to thank Stuart L. Tutt @ stubaby777.wordpress.com for nominating me for my first Liebster Award. Stuart nominated me a couple of months ago, it very difficult for me to participate. For those who have nominated me for an award, I will try to post when it is possible! Now about Stuart, he has a wonderful heart, and blog; with content that’s real, and down to earth. Don’t hesitate to visit, and follow!

The Liebster Award is an opportunity for bloggers to recognize and support other bloggers for their achievements. It’s geared towards blogs with smaller viewership. The Liebster Award is available from January 1 – December 31, 2018; All nominations are voluntary!

Here are the answers to Stuart’s questions;

Q1) Besides the Bible what is your favorite book you have ever read?

A) Don’t read anything right now other than the bible. Not because I don’t want to, my schedule just doesn’t allow. I have about a dozen books on my tablet, and I’m hopping to get to them in the near future! One book that absolutely loved as a child; Call of the wild, by Jack London!

Q2) What, in your opinion, is your greatest achievement in life?

A) I have two things, they are not achievements; but my greatest joy. Knowing that God thought that I was worthy enough to be called His own, and knowing that He had a wife; a life partner He chose to spend my days on earth with. It’s been thirty three getting to know His love, thirty two years getting the opportunity to love her heart; the blessings my heart has known!

Q3) What is your reason for blogging?

A) To share my love stories. To encourage, perhaps change a few minds, influence hearts; with a word, placed within my heart!

Q4) What is the best advice you have for newer bloggers?

A) My advice is always the same; take hold of today, tomorrow was never truly promised! Take hold of your heart, don’t ever worry about the battles you face. True strength can forever be yours, when you realize that true strength comes from the courage within. To face the battles of life, with your God given strength; the heart of a worrier!

Q5) If you could change anything in the world, what would it be?

A) I would change how we (humans) treat each other, we’ve all been created equal. Let’s live with one goal, to be the humanity; we were created to be!

Q6) Do you color with crayons or markers?

A) Crayons as a child, a marker is what I would hand out to everyone; so we can all leave a lasting mark on the world!

Q7) Besides Jesus, who is your favorite biblical figure?

A) That would have to be David, a man after God’s own heart; that my desire. His life wasn’t perfect, but he truly loved God; with his whole heart!

Q8) Who or what makes you yearn to be a better person than you were yesterday?

A) I’ve been yearning for as long as I can remember. I’ve learned much, but still learning that there’s still so much more. I strive to be better, but better is still not good enough; when you’re still yearning, to be so much more!

Q9) When you go out on the town, what is your attire?

A) It’s been years since I’ve gone out of town, but it would be; semi casual as the least!

Q10) If you have children, where is your favorite place to take them?

A) My kids are all in their twenties, but when they were younger; we used to go to Florida every summer!

  • Great questions, I have a question for you Stuart?

Would you want to be so wrapped up within God’s love, that it would forever take your breath away?

OR

So free, that your heart felt like it was free falling; into the depth of God’s love. Not being able to catch your breath, but knowing; His love, is the only thing that can make you breathe?

My Gaze, Becomes You!

How can I truly fix my eyes on the beauty I see, when my heart is forever fixed; upon the true beauty, I see within Your love? My eyes will forever gaze upon the outward beauty, but I will forever fix my heart; on that which the true beauty lies. The beauty within Your love, has forever captured my imagination; but the beauty within Your heart, became my every gaze. As I now endlessly gaze into Your heart, my soul will still be fixed; upon the foreverness within Your love. Forever be charmed, I’m sure!

I absolutely must tell You this, I just can’t seem to even help but to notice; that the beauty which emanates from within Your heart. Has become the very same beauty; that is now ever before every single glance, of my love. So if my lips fail to utter the words, that will truly encapsulate the beauty within. Just know, Your love is the one thing; that speaks volumes to my heart. Your love has forever loosened the words, that has for so many years; tried to bind up my heart. The You I feel, is the You; that gives my heart a glee!

My heart can now clearly utter every word, articulate every single syllable; I want nothing left unsaid, from the depth of my soul. Even this strong, but silent type; still needs to be bold, with his big boy words. Especially, when his heart now has so much to say; as a man. So therefore, I will never stop admiring Your beauty; with a loving heart. But also never ever forgetting to speak, the words that are forever etched; upon the tip of my heart. So what say You, is it the same as what say I? Has my heart truly become Your forever love, because Your heart has always been; my forever love. I will keenly gaze upon Your love, peer deeply into Your heart. My gaze, has truly become; YOU!

Jump Up!

It’s August, here in Toronto; it’s Caribbean carnival weekend, Soca fever. This message is not about Soca fever, but how to get soaked; by a forever rain. Winey winey, stop whining; even if it’s just a tiny whiny. Whining will never bring your heart closer to true love. It comes from truly seeking, to know a forever reign; within your heart!

There is power in the name of Jesus, to break every chain. Ask Him to open the flood gate, in abundance. To make it rain, to let the soaking rain fall; to feel forever drenched, within the reign!

Take your hand out of your pocket, and wave. Get a rag, if your heart can feel the heat. Wave the white rag, feel the sweet surrender; let your heart truly feel the rain. Wave the rag like you just don’t care, who sees; jump up jump up, and praise!

Like I said my friends, I’m not here to preach; just to share my heart. There’s nothing wrong with jumping up, as long as you remember; to keep your heart grounded. I was born in the Caribbean, so I know what is the jump up fever. As a teen, a friend wanted me to come with him to a carnival; my one and only. My heart had been called, to do the jump and praise. So the only jump up I do; is when it’s time to jump up, and praise the Lord!

“Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with timbrel and harp. For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭149:3-4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Submerged!

I remember the moment, the moment your love started beating against my chest. Crashing against my soul, trying to overwhelm; trying to find a way into my heart. Now Your love covers my soul, my heart is being submerged within the depth. Capsized, has truly become my heart; sinking straight to the bottom of your love. Down, down; my soul is sinking deeper. Don’t let it stop for air, let it sink; until it reaches to the depth of forever!

There’s a depth, but I’m still trying to know; how deep does it go? My heart understands the length, but that still doesn’t tell my soul; how to not get so overwhelmed, just by the breadth. So how could my heart, even fathom the distance, my soul needs to go; just to have your love, be my every breath? To fathom how deep, still wouldn’t be the depth. My heart just needs to be totally submerged; then maybe my heart just might get a glimpse, of how deep is your love?

Half way in, means I am still half way out. My heart’s going to take a deeper dive, until my love is all the way in; fully submerged. Oh, how could my heart ever breathe, without your love? Your love became my air, but now it’s also the lifeline; showing my heart what it means; to know how to truly breathe. I’ve always thought that my love tank was half empty, but now I’ve truly realized; it was always half full, your love gave my heart true perspective!

Fill my heart, let the love overflow within my soul. If my heart drowns, let it be within my own tears. Your love is the stillness within my heart. How could I ever again imagine, how could I ever again think to breathe; on my own? Oh my soul, take a deep breath. Oh my heart, no need to hold your breath. The love within, let it be your air; just breathe. The time has come, to go deeper; no need to exhale. Find that within every new breath, a deeper understanding. A full submersion, means forever letting go of the want; to embrace the very need, to be forever submerged!
