Mind Scribbles – Part 2/2

But it doesn’t end there….

I know that the bedrock of truth

The true definition of love

Reality of freedom

True awakening

Real joy

…is found in Christ

Yes, it always boils down to Him

Through him I have been made right with God.

No longer in opposition to my Creator

Neither a slave to sin

nor to the opinions of man

I am free to live as he intended

Mercy reigns

I’m at peace

I can rest …even now

So while sometimes I can’t make sense of this broken world

At the same time I can – through Him

Because there is only one truth

Not mine nor theirs , but His

And even when death comes,

In Christ I know it isn’t final

This life isn’t all there is

Hope lives

Mercy reigns

Grace abounds

All is not lost

In fact nothing lasting is

So maybe I’ll circle the orbit one more time

…and again and again until the time comes

When I’ll gladly hop off 🙂

Mind scribbles – Part 1/2

Lies trend so much these days

So well disguised as “truth”

So crafty…

Division disguised as “unity”

Unbridled indulgences called “love”

“Woke” but actually fast asleep

Said “oppressed” actually the oppressor

The quest for “knowledge” leading to more foolishness

“Freedom” that’s actually slavery

Intellectual rubbish

“Well spoken” but nothing spoken

Spineless, easily offended, politically “correct”

Mind-numbing, repetitive, its-all-about-me,

You-disagree-with-me-so-you-must-hate-me,

“Us” vs “them” narratives

I just want to switch off sometimes

Get me off this orbit around the sun

Crossroads

When you’ve formed an attachment

It can be hard when feel you need to detach

More than hard, it can be painful

You can doubt yourself

And wonder if you are making the right decision

But somehow you know that

things can’t remain the way they are

 

Still you wonder,

…should you stay?

Or should you leave?

Should you hold on?

Or should you let go?

 

So as you are facing this kind of dilemma

My heart goes out to you

With all I know about the situation

I don’t know what you should do

I wish things were clearer

I wish things were simpler

 

But I pray for wisdom for you

I pray for clarity

I pray for light

It is not hopeless

It is not in vain

 

To be continued…

Never lost

What would it take for me to curse God?

What would I lose that would lead me to that place?

What would it take for me to charge Him with wrong?

I shudder at the thought

 

May it never be

May my heart not be distorted by the things I have

…or the things I hope to have

May I hold on to them ever so lightly

 

So that tomorrow, if I happen to lose any or everything,

I may feel it but I would bless the Lord still

Him whom I know I shall never EVER lose

Knowing that in Him, my inheritance is lasting

 

Side note: This was inspired by my Bible reading of the book of Job which I started recently. It’s a timeless account of a man who God acknowledges as faithful in the midst of great losses. I pray to have a proper view of God, a proper view of myself and proper view of things. xx

 

“And he said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.

In all this Job did not sin or charge God with wrong.

 

Made on Purpose

Last night I slept. This morning I woke up. I didn’t will myself to sleep and I had no control of my waking up. I had no control of when my heart first started beating. I had no control over it as I slept. Even now as I’m awake, as I place my left hand on my chest to feel the rhythm, I still have no control over it. It continues to beat. Some say it’s science. Well, you can use that to explain the mechanics of it, but the origin? Nah. It’s beyond that.  I’m a living breathing miracle. Intentionally created by a magnificent Creator. Not by chance, not by accident. It’s a fact bigger than and beyond me.

You will live

You are going through a season

A deep dark season

You can’t seem to see light

But seasons do change

One ends and another begins

I am confident in God to see you through each change

So even if you don’t feel anything

I am telling you –  you will get through this

You are in a period of trial and it will produce fruit

So hold on sis, let these cold stingy waters wash over you

You will not drown,

You will live

It is not pointless

What you are going through

It’s not pointless.

 

It hurts

Blinded by tears

You close your eyes

You open it and breathe

Still it’s there – the pain

Cutting you to the core

 

You hope

You wish you didn’t

As hope seems to make it worse

But mark my words my friend

There is a point

Someday it will make sense

For today, trust…

 

Trust in the unseen Hand

..that knitted you in the womb

That knew you,

before you were known

Be still enough to hear

 

…hear the truth of who He is

It’s tied to who you are

You are known

You are loved…

 

…loved by the One who is Just,

True, Merciful, Kind, Unchanging

His love – steadfast

And He is working on you

And if He is for you,

Who can be against you?

 

Be still – you’ll be okay

For a friend who is far away

Hey You

I think of you often

We don’t get to talk much

But when I think of you, I pray for you

 

I pray your work goes well

and all that you do

I pray you excel through the pressures that may come

I pray for strength you make it through another day

 

I pray you know God more

He is the essence of your existence

I pray you seek Him

Only by his way can you truly live

 

I pray you experience love

the pure, steadfast kind

I pray you are not too cautious

that you take the wise amount of risks

 

I pray you get to love more

loving is living

I pray you experience laughter

the soul strengthening kind

 

I pray in moments of sadness or difficulty

you remember your Hope

I pray you are thankful

that you see how far grace has brought you

 

I pray more than even these

But this is how far my pen will go

 

Thinking of you…

 

With love always
