The lesser gifts.
I hold.
Loosely in my hand.
For they could fly away.
At any moment.

The Greatest Gift of all.
I cling to.
Never letting go.
For He is the One.
Who keeps my soul.
And to Him alone.
My life.
I owe.
Despite my unworthiness.
Despite my waywardness.
Despite my wretchedness.
You choose to love me.

Despite how many times I grieve You.
Doubt you.
Turn to idols, putting them over You.
You choose to pursue me.

Despite my brokenness.
My blindness.
My weakness.
You choose to embrace me.

Your love is beyond any Love I have ever known.
For it has no end.
It has no limits.
Your Love is compassionate.
Merciful.
Fierce.
Tender.
It draws me.
It woos me.
To stay close to Thee.
To stay.
Safe in Your arms.
To be the wounded sheep.
Held in the healing embrace
of her Shepherd.
To be healed.
By His Love.

Thank You, Lord.
that despite all that I am.
Despite all that I've done.
You choose.
To love me.

The one that He loves
The one that He cares
The hopelessly lost
Not finding hope anywhere

The one who's unsatisfied
With life's turn of events
Who's been trying to hide
From that life ever since

The Cross Of Christ Is For...

The fatherless child
On the empty door step
The last lonely mile
Of the dead mans last breath

The kings and the queens
In their palace of pearl
The truth is so clear
It's for all of the world

The Cross Of Christ Is For...

Those dying of thirst
In the desert of life
Those on the high raging sea
With no land in sight

In the joy of the day
In the sadness of night
The Cross of Christ is for
All that is needed in life
O God!
Speak to me!
Make Yourself real to me!
Let me see Your face,
let me hear Your voice!
Let me.
Touch You.
For,
if You do not,
I will surely run after.
Yet another.
Idol.
Yet another.
Broken cistern.
Make Yourself real to me,
O God.
Lest I perish in my affliction.

"I AM RIGHT HERE, BELOVED ONE.
YOU  JUST NEED TO LISTEN."

I walk through puddles.
Like mirrors.
Beneath my booted feet.
Beholding the beauty.
Of reflections of trees.
Mirror images.
Of the original creation.
Oh may I too,
be a reflection.
Of the beauty of my Lord and King.
May I be.
A mirror image.
Of Him.
2 Corinthians 3:18--"But we all, with unveiled face,
beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory..."
Faith, fills me with Truth kept hidden from the world.
Mercy given to others, because I received it as well.
Love I give to you and others freely , for it fills my heart.
Grace I been given even though I am undeserving of it.
Saved by Christ , through Faith knowing that God .
Has took my place on the Cross dying for my Sins.
Thus rising up , revealing to his Disciples that he lives.
Then going to Heaven, so that he could sit next to the Father.
So that all of us whom believes, and work out our Faith.
Can become Children of God, loving others into the Kingdom.

When I was little girl,
I cried so many times
that every teardrop of rain
would fall of my eyes.

When I was an adolescent
I couldn't stop crying at all.
Bodies of water came running
down like the Niagara Falls.

By the time I was an adult
a drought appeared in my eyes
I felt no guilt or shame
but I still feel sad inside.

The cracks beneath my skin
forms a desert upon my face
My emotions are fighting me
there is a part of me that I can't erase.

The waterfall has formed
as the water absorb the soil
That's it I'm done
I'm no longer living in turmoil!

And as I hear the Spirit of the Lord say:
"They that sown tears shall reap in joy."
Even after all these years
why didn't I think this way?
My tears won't  bring me down
as of today.

For there is joy in the morning
after every tear sown
because God does great works
Therefore in this situation
I am never alone.
Through His eyes, you are his Loving child.
Through His eyes. you are right on track.
Through His eyes, you are truly Blessing.
Through His eyes, you are very Loved.
Through His eyes, He is Blessing others.
Through His eyes, your Battle is already won.
Through His eyes, you are more than a Warrior.
Through His eyes, you are already in Heaven.
Through His eyes, you belong to him forever.
I might get depress and hurt, now here on the earth.
I might feel sad, lonely, and struggle here on the earth.
I might hide, and keep to myself here on the earth.
I might feel like, I will lose Christ as my King forever.
But in reality I  that Christ has saved me and he loves me.
In reality, it which part of me that I keep feeding here.
In reality , if I keep feeding the Spirit within me ,
In reality, but if I keep feeding the flesh within me.
Then I shall continue to struggle here while I am alive.
