When my heart wanders …

When my heart wanders,

And ingratitude seems to cloud my mind. 

Help me to  reminisce about the countless breakthroughs.

When my heart forgets the past,

Bring to remembrance every detail of your faithfulness that I may encourage myself.

Not only encourage myself, but be content in the progress I’ve made by your grace.

Take the scales off my heart

That I might see that the victories are greater than my defeat.

Let me be reassured that you’re for and not against me.

When my heart wanders,

Help me never to forget who you are.

I Don’t Have to Know!

Sometimes all I wish is a clear picture of my life.

Just like a movie, I wish I could predict each scenario, phase, and outcome.

Thoughts battling in my head and wishing I could just get a glimpse of my future. 

What will happen in the next minute, hours, or days.

I just want to know!

And as I begin to ruminate on my intentions;

I ask myself, why exactly do I want a clear picture of my life?

Why do I want to know the future right in the present?

And I realized, it is my selfish and never-ending wants.

The quest for a perfect life filled with zero mistakes

What fun is this?

What fun is in life with knowing the unknown before it happens? 

Yes, it could do some good; 

However, this teaches me to trust!

Not in my abilities, strengths, and past successes,

But trust in someone and something much greater than myself.

When I know it all, pride may consume me and then I’ll seize to trust in the one who made the universe.

 I start playing god by manipulating my life to fit my desire and not his. 

So I resolved within myself that I just have to trust in the only one who can give me peace in the unknown and give a clear picture of my life. 

I don’t have to know!

However, just like David, I should be confident that “the Lord will work out his plans for my life – for his faithful love, endures forever.” (Psalms 138:8)

When was the last time you forgave YOU?

When was the last time you forgave YOU?

Forgave yourself of your past flaws, your  failures.

When was the last time you told yourself,

“I am Sorry”

Sorry for the past mistakes that has caused you guilt and shame. 

Sorry for dwelling in your errors that has caused you pain.

Many times we linger in our shortcomings preventing our true liberation.

We wail and cry in regret, forgetting our victories are greater than our defeat

While neglecting the promise, “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”

So rise up from your humiliation

Your past doesn’t define you. 

Your past doesn’t determine your present and neither your future possibilities.

Take the shackles off your feet.

Forget the lies you’ve caged your heart in.

Mercy calls your name.

Grace is beckoning to you. 

And your freedom awaits you. 

It’s time to forgive YOU.

My desire is to be in love again…

My desire is to be in love again!

My heart has been through processes of aches and hurts

And I desire to love again!

Not in love with my success, wealth, fame, or applause.

Not even in love with a man

But with the creator of man!

My desire is to be his bride

And for him to be my bridegroom 

To feast and dine with him

And let my soul intertwine with his.

Longing for a deep connection

That goes beyond the surface is my desire.

I long for a more intimate relationship 

Of which I’ll know the depths of his heart 

And I can forever dwell in his presence.
