Indescribable

How do you describe something that is indescribable? 

How do you begin to explain the timeless one with your own sense of time? 

How do you characterize someone whose character you haven't fully even grasped?

How do you worship the King of the universe with mere words? 

I'm amazed that God heeds to our various symbols which we use to exchange meaning... Saying "God is great" doesn't even cut it... 

To me It feels like human words are just not adequate to express His faithfulness. 

Yet, he accepts it. 

He accepts our "limited/arbitrary&abstract" symbols which we use to exchange meaning. 

Hmmmm, it's only an amazingly good God who is rich in lovingkindness and tender mercy that would take delight in our "inadequate" words.

Lord, words are NEVER enough to adequately sing your praises.

Paradise on Earth

Oh how I wish all eyes could see

Deep in the blue sea, 

Crystal clear waters all about

Up in the sky, cotton candies all around

Oh how I wish all eyes could see

High above, a ball with golden skin

Smiling all day and nothing could dim

So bright we see its the morning beams

Oh how I wish all eyes could see

This world that puts my soul at ease

A paradise on earth to share

But only me could care! 

Don't Touch His Glory

Wise not to touch the glory

Everyone plays a part in the story

We all are pencils

An array of vessels

Royal cup or Broken pot?

The script is written 

The scene's been given

Lowly meekness 

Leads the way

Pride's folly

Exchanges the grace

Everyone plays a story

Best never to touch the glory

Naivety

She is a victim of her mind. 

Brave in her naivety. 

Maybe what she doesn't know won't hurt her. 

Maybe she is wiser in her simpleton ways... 

There is a thin line between valiant bravery and pure foolishness... 

What make's the difference is the condition of her mind. 

Her mind which houses her motives 

Her motive is............ Good. 

Hephzibah

These days have been exciting and my heart soars with joy and awe. I have been pursued, caught, courted and blown away by Love.  He has captivated my heart over and over again. Truth is words really cannot describe his devotion to me. How do I adequately express his commitment to me so others understand? Words can never adequately articulate His desire for me.

 

My name is Hephzibah – “My delight is in Her”. That’s the name he calls me. His thoughts towards me are so precious and how great and vast is the sum of them. I am precious in his eyes and he honors me and treats me tenderly. He rejoices over me with singing. He looks into my eyes and sings over me. He does me good every day and never ceases or tires to do me good. He has clothed me with loving-kindness and his heart is filled with mercies so tender for me.

 

For my sake he takes no rest until he has made me the envy of everyone. He never tires of my voice and as soon as I call he listens, hears and responds. I don’t have to wait for ages for his response - he enjoys listening to me. He opens my eyes to see his words and open my ears to hear his voice. When I am lost he finds me, when I am tired he gives me strength. When I am sad he comforts me. When I am hurt he is near to wipe away the tears and he bind up my broken heart. He knows everything about me, and he knows what’s on my mind as I think it.

 

He never condemns me. Instead he teaches me how to do things right. He instructs me in paths of wisdom. He disciplines me in kindness. He corrects me firmly but with patience. He doesn’t give up on me. He affirms me and forgives my wrong. He doesn’t even keep a record of all my wrongs against him. He fights my battles for me, and I recline in his garden. He has given me his surname and very soon he is coming back for me. 

 

Oh I delight in the knowledge of the truth that my maker is indeed the greatest lover anyone could ask for. The more I know him, the more I hunger and thirst for more of him.  He is the one who silently bore my pain, cancer, heartbreak, poverty, malaria, foolishness, guilt, virus, disease, shame, hunger, debt and sin. He took my place- received condemnation and death in my stead. He did so to set me free from that curse of perpetual wrongdoing and death. He took my place so that I may have his life- deep rich abundant and fulfilling life. He died for me that he may win my heart and I may live for him always. His blood flowed freely on the cross of Calvary, that I might never have to suffer oppression. 

 

He is my peace, my song, and my love. My heart melts at the thought of him. He is my one true desire. He says to me – Delight in me and I will grant you the desires of your heart. Oh Jesus – IT IS YOU I DESIRE, give me MORE OF YOU!

If I were God...

If I were God 

I'd wipe out mankind daily...they can be so annoying.

I'd do as I please and rule in fearsome terror.

I'd have my revenge on those who sin against me - no mercy

And enslave those who love me - they were created to worship anyway 

I'd make a different man daily and use them selfishly without consideration to them.

I surely would never create man in my image.

And I most certainly wouldn't reduce myself to die for the people I created...

But thank God I am not him. 

Jehovah

Created by no one - self existing. 

Creator of the entire universe.

Creator of powers, thrones and kingdoms.

All powerful

All knowing 

Always present 

Yet

He is tender hearted (yes his heart is tender)

Gracious & Full of mercy (abundant mercy)

Desires me & Loves me (still can't figure out why)

Died for me (to take away the sting of death and give me life)

Lives in me (To enable me live victoriously)

Cares for me (all ways/ always!!!)

I can't wrap my head on why,

He insists on loving me when I am unloveable

Faithfully  pursues me when I desert him

Steadfast in mercy and empowers me with strength when I am weak

No condemnation

No hate

That's the God who is truly God.  

Worthy of praise, glory, honor and adoration.

I'll scream it from the rooftop Lord

I am totally in love with you

You have captured my heart again and again and again

Life without you has no meaning.

I am yours and you are mine.

Hallelujah!!!! 

Look Up!

Daily I learn. Decided to share today's lesson with you. 

I realized It won't suffice anymore to blame others for our shortcomings, disappointments, and frustrations. As I grow older it's imperative to rely less on my human pillars and incline more to the maker of my life. Humans are humans, yes even that best friend, sweet lover or devoted parent with honest intentions. No one can rise to the aspirational role of steadfast faithfulness... No it's not their fault... No human can achieve this because inherently we are all flawed. That's alright though - the potter knows just how to make the broken clay a vessel of honor and a testimony of grace...

Summary: Stop looking to man it's not fair on them... I couldn't bear such a burden. Look up... Jesus is able to save to the uttermost all those who draw near to God by him, since he ever lives to make intercession for us. Look up!
