One day, I woke early in the morning to watch the sunrise. Ah the beauty of God’s creation is beyond description. As I watched, I praised God for His beautiful work. As I sat there, I felt the Lord’s presence with me.
He asked me, “Do you love me?”
I answered, “Of course, God! You are my Lord…
MY NAME IS FEAR | I don’t exist if you don’t let me, I won’t survive if you don’t feed me.
Because God is faithful, we have no need to fear. But often, circumstances speak so loudly. They tell us that fear is natural… that it’s a normal response to have. Fear tells us that circumstances are bigger than God’s power, or even at times that God doesn’t care. It can be so pervasive. It creeps in so subtly. So, what do we do at times in our life when fear comes knocking? Knowing and understanding God is crucial in our battle against fear. We need to take gospel truths and filter our every fear through it. His overwhelming peace can speak louder to your heart than all your concerns and fears.
True…
Abounding in Grace
Drowning. Drowning in the river of Your grace,
Your powerful embrace, won’t let me go.
Sin crouching at the door,
Worry weltering up inside,
Just too much. I run away.
What can I say?
Am I suppose to endure this?
I look left and right, the enemy is all around me.
But I look to the skies and you hear my plea,
You hear my prayer, you care, your there.
I don’t simply talk to air, no asteroth pole, no idol.
I could say you have vitals, because your breathing, your alive.
And you prescribe me your grace as sin tries to ensnare me.
I take a pill and stay in Your will, closer to You than ever before.
What can I say? My everlasting Father…
You ever put your all into something yet don’t get the results or appreciation you expected?
You ever bought your loved one flowers and they threw it in the trash?
You ever save your brother from a bullet and all he does is say “thanks?”
You ever did CPR on an unconscious person and then they…
Wow.
His eyes like Fire.
As Im lifted out of the ashes I see my Saviors face. Eyes like fire. burning fire as the love in His gaze melts my shame away. No more insecurity. no more disgrace. His eyes burn so hot He offers me a drink. i only take a sip and Im awestruck by how His water moves inside of me. Living waters stirring me up. Whirlpools of peace, and love take over me…
My heart is compelled with love. my head as light as a dove. out of the way i shove everything i use to hold dear… cuz now i no longer have fear of trying to fit in.
no more parties to try and get some dances. wearing some fresh kicks to better my chances. no more lustful late night romances. lets see who gets more girls right? With out you I am nothing. An empty well. A city in ruins. A zombie with no purpose. Still bones layered with flesh. Oh will they ever live again? Chained to insecurity, chained to lust, chained to anger, chained to fear, chained to depression, chained to weed, chained to alcohol, on the floor i would lie sprawled out with a heart of stone. So heavy as my burdens would weigh me so far down. but with you im free.
free to run, free to jump, free to love! free to shout! free to dance! free to have no fear! power, love and a sound mind now consumes me. I walk with His power. His oil rests on my head. i demolish His daily bread. His word I start to spread. His love compels me. Im free, oh so free. wont you join me?
arent you tired of those lonely nights? pointless fights? fittin in? trying to win? Its like i was trapped in the lions den. the world staring at me with hungry eyes trying to kill me. consume me. tear me to bits. steal, kill, destroy. but He shut the lions mouth. trampled the serpents head. His blood so red yet so white. so pure it just lures me closer to Him in my heart. where to start?
angels rejoice around me, spiritual beast i see. eagles flap their wings, Ox tread their ground, Lions roar their sound. My life made so profound and behold all things new, out of the devils mouth i was spewed. My view on life was so misconstrued yet now its clear. Devil use to lie but I now know the truth! Devil had me lost but now I know the way! what can i say! was dead in my sin and now Hes given me life! and life more abundantly! cant you see?! Im free! this world no longer has its hold on me. Take your girls, your chocolate swirls, your late night quarrels, your fancy lookin curls, take this flesh, take my house, take my clothes, take my food, take my water, take my life, make me burn hot and dont give me ice. But let me have Christ!
neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate me from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus my Lord. My Savior! My King! My Rock! My Friend! My Love! My Light! The winner of this fight! My God, My God, My God! Clothed in fire! Burning metal. Walking of water, Riding on clouds, His tongues sharper than any double edged sword, His life in one accord with mine. For He is my life!
I look into the burning eyes of my Savior. I cry tears of joy. No words can employ the love my God has for me. He broke my chains in that beautiful exchange. His life for mine. So human yet divine. Father of many nations. Many tongues. Creator of the Universe. A heart radiating rainbows, love, blazing fire, gushing water, pumping the blood that fell on to me. Washed me clean. My sin transparent. Sitting like a pile of glass, shattered to nothing. Nonexistent due to His love.
He pulls me to Him. My eyes drenched in thankfulness. tears role down my clothes. Soaked in acceptance, soaked in everlasting joy. it drips to the ground making a puddle of gratitude and gratefulness. As His tear hits my face im showered with grace. I thank Him. His eyes burn at me with fire. His lamps burning with fire. Body full of light. With Him with me i no longer stumble in the dark. All because i gave Him my heart? Take me Jesus. I love You. Beams of love shine on my face. The Sun of God…no…the Son of God.
