Beloved, in the midst of the chaos. In the midst of trying times. In the midst of what seems so hard to endure? In the middle of the darkest hour, hold fast your heart. Just like every night, that came before; the darkness, will never be too much to bear. My child, be forever comforted. Before you were, I Am; your soul, is forever in the midst My love. I don’t just see, but I know the tears… before they ever fall. I don’t just know your pain, I feel your heart. Even when your sorrow, feels like a heavy chain? Be assured, with My strength; your soul will overcome!

Be still, know I Am… loving on your heart. My love, My presence, My strength doesn’t just surround; it hovers. Over the surface, of what seems too deep… to understand. Let My love, take your soul to the other side. Set your faith on Me, from what your eyes can’t see. Mountain move, regardless of the circumstance. Lift your hope, see heaven; then let your soul rest… in My love. Raise a hallelujah, This too.. Shall Pass! Truly, Your Heavenly Father!

Tomorrow!

AECE5126-F5E4-47A4-B7C5-CB84C2481D1D

Tomorrow, is a day that you can never count on. So why do we tend to trust, that tomorrow will be the saving grace? There was evening, there was morning; then it was the next day. Tomorrow, was nowhere to be found. It was never there in the beginning, nor promised to anyone. So, why do we cling to talking points; hold them so dear to the heart? We even put it ahead, of the perfect gift; “Today,” the only day we get to behold. Even if you wished upon a star, wishful thinking; may just be the candle, that once burned bright!

Let the dawn greet your heart, but let the bright morning star; be where you put your hope. Tomorrow is a day so many count on, but today the only day; you get to take a breath. Tomorrow will never show up, even to honor a complaint; or to simply dispute an argument. Tomorrow doesn’t owe you a thing, or will ever honor a petition. Tomorrow can never promise to show up, today is what comes; to address the troubles of the day. Tomorrow is so elusive, and it is so cunning. It tells your heart to put off, what can be done today. Even though having that tomorrow, is a broken promise. Today, and that exact moment you breathe; all that’s truly yours!

So many believe and trust, that tomorrow will be a better day. When the heart lays down to sleep, first pray the Lord; thy soul to keep. A little sleep, a little slumber; a little resting of the heart, but awake in peace. Knowing that your tomorrow, has again become your only day. Forget about tomorrow, Live, Laugh, Love; Today. Choose Life… in Heaven, give today; your Heart and Soul. Know real peace, know what will be… the final resting place. Then, just watch and pray. This is your today, but then the day; becomes a Forever!

Faithfulness; How Romantic!

Everybody loves, but for so many; love becomes about the romanticizing. On the surface the love looks really nice, and can even say all the right things. But the love still not secure, anchored by faithfulness. People have asked me the question; “Are You The Romantic Type?” To me the question, is never a simple yes, or no. I’m a firm believer, that most hearts focus on the fall in; but forget to tell their heart the reason, to stay in. Don’t get me wrong, romance should be a part of the love experience. My heart has been known, to show romantic tendencies. In layman terms, I know what the word romantic means. But I’ve never strived to be a type… cast as anything; but faithful, in every sense of the word!

We all have the good, the bad, and at times the ugly. If people see you as a romantic, that’s okay. To me romantic, is more of a feel good word. Gestures with good intensions, but for so many hearts. It becomes more about the things you do, and from time to time; how the feeling moves the heart. The problem with that, moments like this; tends to fade in and out… of the consciousness. What should move, is not what just matters to the heart; but what can endow the soul. Why I don’t seek after romantic moment, but try my best to make the love… faithful. To me, romance is knowing how to love faithfully… day after day. The heart should definitely want, but the soul should forever pursue a need. To be faithful in love, for life; forever should be the true romance!

What can ever be more romantic, than knowing the love is forever? What can truly be a deeper love, than giving your heart to someone… forever? What can ever be more of a selfless act, than a love willing to lay down its life; so the another can live? So, as for me and my heart and soul. I’m going to gaze upon the brightest star, let the love twinkle endlessly in my heart. Watch it shimmer beautifully within my soul, and bask forever… within the stunning afterglow. When a heart loves faithfully, true love will forever be the romance. A heart that shows up, a love that shows forth; a faithful love. What the Fathers love, has instilled with my soul. A heart should never desire romance for a day, but faithful love… for a lifetime. Faithfulness, how truly Romantic!

Your love, never has to fight for my heart. Everyday my heart, what I choose to freely give. Your love is not a possession, but I will fight to have it… be my everything. Your heart, always given, with such precious love. Why my heart and soul keep it, radiant and so beautiful. I will always shine a light, and never let the love… just fade away. My love will be relentless, my heart will forever give chase. Allow my soul to always take a breath, but every exhale; never breathed out in haste. Your love, is my love; my heart, forever your heart. For you always seem to have my heart, close to your love. May you always want to rest your love, on my heart. Always want to put your love, within the care of my heart. May my heart be gentle enough. May the warmth within my love, be a fire that forever burns. I know nothing will ever separate, but it’s still up to my soul; to never let anything come between. May your love, and my heart always be in; A Forever Embrace!

Wonder Twins!

0EFAA4A9-AE0A-4CD8-BA2C-6F0AE770A4FA

They are a Marvel, and they have such strength; and they are truly a wonder. My heart has words, but yet my soul… speechless. How can any heart, not be in complete awe? How can a soul with breath, not be utterly astonished; in absolute amazement? Hope, just one word… can help explain the true wonder. Trust and believe, the way; the truth… to power. One truth can empower, the other fights… the powers that be. You can never truly have one, without needing the other. They might seem different, but they are One… in the same. You can’t get saved, without the surrender. You can’t get true strength, unless you have the power… within. You can’t believe, if you don’t know the truth. To see all the wonders at work, faith; what activates. A soul, in the shape of a heart… forever in love. To truly get from under, the struggles that keeps the heart a captive? You first have to experience the awe, and truly know how wondrous!

So much Wonder, so much Love; full of so much Compassion. Who can ever separate, take the love from my heart? Stop the Miracles, Signs and Wonder; when it’s all, part of the Beauty? They have all power, to Fix the broken hearted. To set a bound heart Free, to Save every lost soul. What can stand against, they can Never be defeated. The Power to Transform, will never be a surprise. Knowing such an Awesome, Remarkable, Undeniable love. How can any heart, not be truly Amazed? Some might think, loving the Wonder; nothing but child’s play. But that’s just it, you don’t get the understanding; without first getting a transformation… of heart. You have to first become a child, be a true believer… before you can enter in. It’s not about a cartoon, but hearts in tune. To know the Love for, is to have true Affection. It’s a two fold blessing, for a heart to have and behold. I tell you the truth, they are so Amazing; Grace, and Mercy!

Preceded!

Before a heart can breathe, before there is a breathtaking; it is first preceded by a move… of heart. Before a single echo is ever heard, there first have to be a sound; perceived beyond sight. Before a soul can recognize a still whisper, the heart has to first know; the breadth that moves the stillness. Most hearts can produce an echo chamber, moved by what feels good; but yet not knowing, it’s not about a good vibration. Most hearts can recognize a distinct sound, but cannot fathom the true depth… without going deeper. A move of the heart, is preceded by a feeling. What sound like real love, goes beyond just a perceived feeling. To feel love is to be moved, but to interpret why the move; not relying on just a feeling. For there to be a true understanding, a heart needs to know; what prepares the way?

A heart can beat like the sound of music, but it’s the rhythm within; that gives the soul true meaning. You don’t have to dig deep, be an intellect; for the heart to be truly enlightened. Ask, Seek, Knock; how the heart starts the introduction. But when the soul gets the answer, does it become a step forward, or a heart not yet ready… for a real commitment? For true growth to be seen within a heart, the latter years need to be better than the former. Wisdom will always be the result, with knowledge gained along the journey. But for the practical to be evident, there has to be a preceding understanding. Love is an action word, demonstrated through a Preceded action; by a heart willing to act. Before life, before sight, before sound. Before a movement over the surface of the deep, what Preceded wasn’t a sound of an explosion; but a move.. of God!

Double Dutch!

Hearts tell me, why the hesitation; “are you waiting for the perfect moment?” They say that timing is everything, but even if you time it just right. Your heart just might miss the moment, given for your soul… to take a leap of faith; for your heart to forever jump for joy. Oh, but once you get in, the heart and soul needs to know; it’s not about the jump and shout. Don’t let your heart get bound up, don’t let your soul get tangled up; in a distracting legalistic mindset. Your heart was loosed, the soul forever set free; don’t become double minded. So many think, it’s about being good… enough. Hard work and dedication, a good desire; but it’s about the Sacrifice. A heart can be taught to bob and weave, but the mind still has to be disciplined; to truly be led… by the heart. Knowing how to make quick decisions, can help get a mind out of a jam; but the heart still needs to know, in whom to put the trust?

Don’t be scared to make a move, but don’t just rely on your own wit; know how to apply true grit. Perseverance requires true strength… of character. When in doubt, that the heart is not winning? Throw your hands in the air, and wave them like you just don’t care… who’s watching. Don’t ever let your heart lose sight, of what truly matters. Don’t let your soul get focused, on truly meaningless distractions. A Double Dutch bus, is a sight for sure. But if the focus is just on how the wheels on the bus, goes round and round. That just shows, that the mind is what’s in control. Not a heart knowing how to take the lead, and what love truly moves… the soul?

A young, vibrant heart learning the how to; can easily jump a rope. But yet still too young, to know how to properly exercise… true restraint; mind, body, and soul. Hearts in love, is eager to jump a broom. But for the love to not get tattered, not get easily broken. The love needs to be forever bound, with a three stranded cord. Every heart knows how to jump in, but the question I have is this; do you truly know how to stay in… love? Life can make the love seem, like hearts just swinging… in opposite directions. Hearts crisscrossing, but without the rhythmic cohesiveness. For two hearts to truly flourish, for the soul to truly experience a double portion blessing; the love for has to be, hearts in love… forever. No double talk, no Double Dutch; jump in, jump out. Just grateful hearts, compassionate souls; slow to anger. Hearts in tune, abounding forever… in true love!

In Tune!

When a heart is not in tune, it cannot differentiate between a heart that just beats; from a rhythm that truly moves. One sound, is not about just hearing a heart beat; but a soul also knowing how to see… a movement. A heart needs to have sight, to go beyond what is just sounds… good. Sometimes the tone feels good, but the heart and soul not in tune. A heart can be tone deaf, when a heart is unable to perceive. The difference between the breadth, and the true characteristics… of what is a real love. There is a certain pitch, that most heart have clearly heard. But the soul still needs to know, how to accurately interpret. Real love hums a distinct melody, but Devine love forever a song; when a heart is in tune!

The heart is an instrument, it may not always be in tune; but the tone should always be recognizable. The sound a heart makes can paint a picture, but not all with… The Color of Love. Thankfully, hearts have the ability to adjust; but only if the moment hasn’t become a missed opportunity. To not just notice the change within the mind, but to see the change take place… within the heart. One can change their mind, but without a change of heart; the love wouldn’t truly resonate. Without taking a moment to reflect, or giving the heart a chance to adapt; becomes a change without purpose. The heart and soul cannot become finely tuned, if being in tune… serves no greater purpose. A heart trying to demonstrate the love being heard, but for some the heartbeat becomes so erratic; a soul still not knowing the true depth. Love can produce a strong eMotion, but for a soul to truly sing and shout. There has to be the In Tune, to have a true heart connection!

Love Hangover!

Is your love on the rocks, then simply shake it up. Make love the intoxicating experience, one that leaves a heart with a forever buzz. True love makes a heart giddy, a soul burst with true delight. Some like their love shaken, not knowing love is always better stirred. The moment the love truly gets stirred up, is the moment when the love becomes so much sweeter. Some prefer to have their love, with a splash of lemon. Just don’t allow the love to become sour, a little bit too bitter; then hard to stomach. Some think love is better, with the right amount of luster. Some try to dress it up, with things delightful to the eyes. But window dressings, will never change the substance within!

Some try to mix it up, by adding the perfect amount of additives. With one attempt, to get the juices flowing. Go ahead, mix it up; let your heart explore, different kinds of love ingredient. Just remember, love is not about the right formula; but what is the Right Substance… within. Let your heart reveal the right stamina, what real love can truly give. Joy, hope, peace, faithful love. Don’t let your soul get drunk, with meaningless indulgences. Rather shake up the heart, then let the love flow. Let the love rock you, to the depth of your soul. But don’t get it twisted. Love is not about drinking all you can, but how to truly be filled, with all the love… your heart gets. Then make the all the desire for, the Love Hangover last… Forever!

I Can’t!

• Right up front I will let you know, this is a bit longer than usual. A part of the story, that was laid on my heart this week; to write and share. May it be a blessing, may it move you… closer to His heart!

For as far back as my heart can remember, I can see how God’s love; has been my refuge. Before my heart knew how to breathe, He was already my breath. Whenever my soul wanted to hide from the world, Hide and Seek; what the heart within a silent river, played day after day. My heart knew how to be quiet, but my soul restless; not yet knowing the stillness. But God, His love always knew; exactly where to find my heart. When my soul started the seeking; His love, what my heart found… every time. The heart of a child, didn’t yet know how to truly feel; but my soul, within an embrace. Why my heart can say, without any hesitation; I Can’t… do anything on my own. Every day is a fight, but never a struggle… for my heart. Even when my heart didn’t yet understand, my soul knew a long time ago; who I am, and who is the breadth. My heart can breathe, but I Can’t… take a breath; if not through His love!

He says I can do all things, but I know; only if His love… is what moves me. He says I’m a conqueror, but I couldn’t win a single battle; in my own strength. I can tell ten thousand stories, in my own words, but I still wouldn’t be able to move a single heart. If His love wasn’t the breath, breathing through each verse. I could repeat a thousand times; I think I can, I think I can. We can say all the right words, but it takes faith to believe… you can. When I stumble, I don’t have to worry about the fall. He died, so His love can show a heart… how to rise again. So many think, that I am so strong; but I tell you the truth. I would be truly weak, if His love wasn’t the power… that moves within. What can ever compare, to the greatest love; a heart will ever know?

Let me share with you, why iWirte. Why my heart is just the pen, His love forever the ink. About ten years ago, I had a moment, an encounter; a shift within my heart and soul. I was a Christian for twenty four years, doing everything asked of my heart. Head down, heart wide open; but the journey. One faithful step forward, only to see all the footprints; get washed away. A heart devastated, just like that little boy; a heart feeling so alone. But God, He took my heart; back through the pages of my life. To show, to reveal to my heart; the times when His love… never left me. That it was His love pulling me through, from what should have broken my spirit. You see, my praying grandmother made sure from I could walk; that God’s love, would be a part of my life. Even though He had a hold of my soul, I didn’t give Him my heart; until the age of fifteen. After giving my heart, the focused was just one thing; His love. My heart was so in love, but why not. Unbeknownst to the heart of a child, God was loving on my soul… for fifteen years!

I don’t believe in fairy tales, I trust in God. There is truly nothing in the world, I want, there’s nothing my heart will ever need; than this love. The search for love was over, the very moment I could clearly see. There’s a captivating love story, written on my heart. Why my soul no longer needs to hide, because my heart will forever seek. I Can’t, I Couldn’t, I Won’t, I Don’t… want to breathe, or even take a breath. If this love, is not what moves my heart. A textbook introvert, gave his heart. To receive sight, through an awoken soul. This love will always have my heart, for when I needed it the most; His love hovered. Creating within my soul, a deeper meaning to love. I Can’t do nothing; But, God Can… do it all. Joy, Hope, Peace, Strength; a Refuge. I Can’t even take credit, for who I am. His Story, His Voice; my heart; but His Love… within. Father, everything my soul has ever searched for, found complete… in You!
