Overflow

Father God,

I worship you today in my life. I exalt your wonderful name and I lift your name up upon the heavens. You are great and you do great and wonderful things. I exalt you on high and I bring glory to your name. Nothing is impossible with you. You are awesome in my heart. You are worthy of praise forever. Continue to move in my life and in my world. Let your purpose be fulfilled as I surrender my whole life into your powerful and loving hands. I glorify you Father God in my life. I pray and ask for the forgiveness of my sins. Redeem me from all of the fowler's snare. Make me fix my eyes on you alone and be forever magnified in my life. Cleanse me within and let springs of living water flow in my life and let your love overflow throughout the world, through your Spirit.

We Don't Find Fault

The impossible can be made possible. You are taking us to new dimensions and new heights. You are digging deeper. We don't complain and we don't find fault. We tell you, thank you. You are making a better us out of this. We thank you because the crushing means a new oil is about to spew out of us. We thank you Lord.

My Hiding Place

Heavenly Father,

You are my hiding place. Shelter me from the storms of life. Help me and embrace my heart. I pray for those in need. I pray for those struggling right now. Strengthen them and hold their hearts. Help those in pain, and quiet their spirit today, for your mercies are new every morning.

Love,

Brown Bench at the Bus Stop



At this point, that is the only sure thing in my heart.  I love you.  It may not always begin with that, but the end is always me being captured by your pure love.  And when I begin to contemplate on your mercy for my life, all of the heartache caused by this nonsense grievance of waiting diminishes.  The smoke which blinded my eyes fades away and left me with your wonderful vision.  That you send your beloved and only Son to offer his body and blood, and used it’s holiness to purify my soul.

In this Sacred Silence

An avalanche of sadness which is covering up the surface of this heart has been drowning every part of me. I am simply sad.


Psalm 77:1
I cry out to God without holding back.
Oh, that God would listen to me!


But this will soon fade. You will once again shower me with joy and will give a new meaning to the word rejoice. I worship you in different stages of my life, Father God. I worship now in this sacred silence. I want to go up there with you and hide in your arms. Father, cover me with the banner of your love. I need you tonight. I need you for the rest of my life. Hide me and keep me safe. I just don’t know where to turn and what to think. Let me be the daughter, the lady, the servant that you want me to be. Not this naïve, bewildered me. Give me the courage to face trials and overcome. I need that kind of heart. I will wait. Take this ill feeling away.





A fighter, not just a survivor

Romans 16:20 NIV
The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.
The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.


I ask you Lord God, to strengthen my heart and spirit. I want to be a fighter and not just a survivor. It’s time to conquer and be like David, be like Joshua and the kings of the Old Testament. Father, give me a courageous heart. I pray and ask you in Jesus’ Name to keep me standing in faith, focusing on what you want me to do that I may glorify your name.

Since I met him, I forgot my dreams. I am now building dreams with him. I dream and include him in those hopeful dreams… dreams for him and for us, for us in this journey together for the purpose of forever. We are now building dreams together. I wake up each day knowing he is at my side, saying “Good morning, Lord.” At times I can’t sleep. The hours in a day seem insufficient for us. He gave me the courage not to believe in me, but believe in his love for me which will never run out. His love for me is ever strong. How can I possibly want to be with someone else? I fell-in love. And now, I have found someone who deeply and passionately loves me. Genuine, pure and holy. He is in-love with me. Isn’t that amazing? He is the love of my life. He keeps on making my heart awake. I’ve never felt so protected, so home and so loved until I met him. He knows how to make me smile. He knows how to love me. He accepts me and loves me, always ready to embrace me even when I find no reasons to. He would tell me to love others in selfless ways, encouraging me to serve and humbly give what I can. He assures me that he will be there waiting for me when I come home weary and tired from all the demands of this world. He’ll nurture me again with his comforting words, gently renewing my heart. His embrace is refreshingly warm. Unlike the heart beating inside me, his is powerful but lowly. He is always full of warmth and passion for this restless me. I can come home to him any moment of the day, and he is always watching my every move and each little step, with his eyes fix at my countenance. He lets me hide in his arms until I’m ready to face the world outside of us again. He even listens to my nonsense. He laughs with me over my silliness, and I can feel his heart hurt when I am hurt.

I don’t know what it is, but he sees something beautiful in me. He knows how to bring out my purpose. He looks at me with burning passion and doesn’t want to ever let me go. I have no idea what it is. Grace. I am glad that I surrendered to his love. I am grateful that he pursued me all those years of running away and hiding from him. He’s always been there for me, without questions and without doubts. He loves me and the people I love. He wants me to enjoy life, now… only with him by my side. He is always patient with me. He never lets go. And it’s comforting to know that he will never leave me. Nothing can separate me from his powerful love. That is what he promised me and I believe him. He always believes that his love is enough for us. He is right. It is and will always be more than enough.
