I see men as trees walking
Some trees bear fruit and provide shade
While others never realize why they’re made
And when God comes to eat of them
He finds only brambles and thorns and then
They’re fit only to be burned
Forever burning, never learning,
They were made for His pleasure
To please Him is the only measure
We should define our lives with
Is He pleased, is God happy with you?
Is He glad and excited that He made you?
Ponder the answer now before your life is through…
Mar:8:24
Love is…
A song meant to be sung as a duet
Love is…
A journey meant to be taken together
Love is…
A treasure that only has value when shared
Love is…
The colour that paints our days
(and makes them worth living)
And love is the prize that makes our lives worth giving away
This blog is my effort to share God's mind and most importantly, heart, as He shares them with me. I make a genuine effort to commune with Him daily and hear from Him. .Some poems are from Him to me, others from me to Him but all revelation shared is, I pray, from the Holy Spirit and not my carnal, soulish opinion. Please comment as you see fit. He is calling us all into His Holy of Holies.....let us all respond to his divine invitation for intimacy with a heart felt YES! SOS 2:11

As another new day dawns
Life seems to go on and on and on
but my friend I’ll tell you this truth –
Life continues only for those who
Love the source of all life
That is, my friend, Jesus the Christ
If you truly, passionately, love to live
Pause this moment and wholeheartedly give
Jesus your heart – the very core of your being
Then the eyes of your understanding will start seeing
Each new day as a gift from above
Brought to you by God as an act of Love
Eph:1:18
It’s ok to be broken
Don’t give some cheap smile
Some useless token
While all the while
You have a heart
That’s pretending
Everything’s fine
How are you?
Ok
I’m cool
No problems here
When all along God is breaking us
Taking us
To school

Out
You know, I sometimes think of Jesus
just lyin’ on that Cross and bleedin’
Makes me want to rage, shout, say
there’s somethin’ all of us are needin’
And that’s, that’s, ah that’s
Furious Freedom!
A freedom so passionate and raging
that resists all attempts at caging...
And I see, we need
A Freedom (a God) that bleeds
That hurts for you and me
So much so I ache, I hurt to see
All of us free
The Passionate God
The Passionate God
Is the One who pursues us wholeheartedly
The One who makes us free
I want to weep, shout, dance out loud
naked in the rain
won’t stop till every stain is long gone
I want to lie before You, my God
Naked as You were on the Cross
And pour out my soul into the dust
Take my beating heart and crush
all that hates You, God
I want to love You in Spirit and in Truth
Oh God, make some sense of this formless void
I call my soul. Bring light and love to make me whole
May I be as passionate for You daily as You are for me.
Gal:5:1

All who call on Him will be saved
All who ignore Him are depraved
His love compels Him to
continue to impel them to
Come to Him for Eternal Joy and Love
But one Day He’ll say “I’ve had enough”
After we meet Him in the earth
We’ll meet Him in the sky,
Face to face, eye to eye
When our flesh will become the new earth
Of which He spoke, of which He cried
And His Spirit will make all things new, fresh and clean
And sin and death will never again appear on the scene
Forever we’ll frolic and play
And sing and dance and pray
And live and love and rejoice for the wonderful Day
He has made and ordained
Oh our hearts will forever be unrestrained,
Unfettered, unhindered, unbound, unchained, free
to be His wholeheartedly
Oh HalleluJah! Oh for Joy!
Words cannot employ
Nor can they express
Your Eternal loveliness!
Rev:21:1
You are the focus of my existence
You are the reason why I live
You have been the most persistent
With the love You have to give
Oh God I want You, all of You
As You have held nothing back from me
Oh God let this prayer be true –
Take all I am, I give me to Thee
“Your home is your church and your church is your home”
All who ignore Him are depraved
His love compels Him to
continue to impel them to
Come to Him for Eternal Joy and Love
But one Day He’ll say “I’ve had enough”
After we meet Him in the earth
We’ll meet Him in the sky,

Find Out
Your life is so full of so many agendas
You run to and fro where The Lord didn’t send ya
The altars you’ve built, they now lie in ruin
Have you stopped to consider just what it is you’re doin’?
Have you found out? Have you found out?
What pleases The Lord?
Have you found out, have you found out
what pleases The Lord?
You’ve heard it before that your life is not your own
But who is it really who’s on your heart’s throne?
Is it God? Is it man? Is it you? Is it He?
Just who is it are you trying to please?
And have you found out?
Have you found out, what pleases The Lord?
Have you found out, what pleases The Lord?
For all seek their own not the things that are Jesus Christ’s
Are you still in love with this world?
Have you truly laid down your life?
You love and you give as long as you get in return
But when, oh when will you finally learn
What it is, oh what it is that pleases The Lord?
What is it that pleases The Lord?
Our lives can be so fleeting like a vapour on a glass
And in the end it’s you The Lord will look to and ask –
Did you find out? Did you find out?
What’s pleasing to Me?
Did you hear and obey and agree?
What will, oh what will your answer be?
Did you find out what is pleasing to Me?
Eph:5:10 Phi:2:21
