WHERE IS YOUR HEART??

Prov 26:23 My son, give me your heart

And let your eyes delight in my ways,

Have u ever thought of doing this??

I don't mean half heartedly but fully... I mean taking that risk of your life being turned upside down, losing people you never imagined in the name of the Lord...

U see the Lord has been teaching me that unless I let go of some things and focus on him and learn from him I just won’t progress and won’t complete my purpose...

Jer 29:11

 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

U see God has a plan for us and unlike our fellow human race he wants nothing but the best for us and if we let him he will work in us as he prepares us for what he has planned for us... And it starts by giving him your heart... Trusting him, depending on him, loving him with all you've got.  It not easy to be patient with God because his timing is way different compared to ours but that doesn't mean he doesn't come through...

You see when you go towards him he comes towards you… you have to be willing to reach out to him. James 4:8 (a) Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

What I'm learning is the depth of God and the order of things... See from the beginning everything was done in order and timing...

Genesis 1 for example the story of creation the Lord created the world in steps.

And so when you completely give God your heart to work on it, he works he does for he does not lie. Numbers 23:19 “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?” For our God is a God of perfection and of his word...

In John 15 we see how God as a vine dresser and Jesus us a vine and we as the brunches. And God cuts out the brunches that do not bear fruit and prunes the ones that do.

            If you have taken care of roses or had a tree, when you see that part of it is sick or infected the immediate thing to do is cut it off so as it does not infect the other parts or if someone is with something viral they are quarantined until they are well. This meaning they are cut off from the world so we should you ask him who created us to cut out the people who are to lead you to your old sinful life... all this depend on whether you are willing bringing us back o the heart position.

Today where does your heart lie?? Does it belong to God? Or does it belong to worthless desires?

Wherever it is, just weigh your options.

1. Follow the Lord = Forfeit things of the world e.g. love, sex and money simply put (not saying money is bad but prioritizing it before God is, idolizing it is) Prov 1:19 Such is the fate of all who are greedy for money; it robs them of life.

2. Follow your pleasure = An empty life, party fun, immorality but at the end of the day when you are alone... The emptiness that crawls in the darkness screaming and bleeding to be filled... Making bad decision after the other and living in regret... I am not saying I haven't been there I have but I saw the light and CHOSE to follow it...

As long as your follow God he will always lead you. He has led Abraham, Moses the early leaders and prophets and still does it is written...

Prov 3:5-6

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

Ii know one thing that the lord promises that the world doesn’t and that is a fullness and Joy and peace that surpasses our understanding.

Painful truth but also beautiful in its own way.

Keep smiling :)

LOVE IN TRUTH

Colossians 3:14 But above all these things put on love which is the bond of perfection

1 John 4:8 He who does not love does not know God for God is love

This two verses just spoke masses  to me..

We say love here love there

What is love?? Really what is love

The oxford dictionary defines it as: a strong feeling of affection, a great interest and pleasure in something

People’s definition is more less the same thing: emotions, feelings, actions like flowers or gifts, desires  etc.

Well according to Holy Bible the bond of perfection is love

And what is love??

Love is God.  Why do I say this?? I say this because the Holy Bible says it.

How do we prove this???

Plain and simple…

John 3 :16

For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life ….

Still not in seing it ??
1 John 4:8  He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
 More prove??
 

John 1:1

 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

And then

John 1:14

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

This just sums it all together God came in flesh through his son Jesus to carry our disgrace to save us from hell… He left his Holy throne to come down all the way to our level, to feel the burden of sin which he never felt before, to be separated from his father for our sake... For our salvation.

As 1 John 4: 9 says in this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

 Rom 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

We can’t even halfway try to explain what he went through, the pain the anguish the sorrow NOTHING… But knowing this we can ask God to enlargen our capacity to love and for him to keep expressing it to us.

You want love… that’s love. Perfect love... the bond of perfection God.

HEART N SOUL

Lately i have just been in a state of sadness its just crazy the state of solitude... in such times finding someone to reach out to is almost nearly impossible. I knew that i was falling short but how far is the problem.. I have spent so much of my time doing thins that don't matter and in the process drifted so far away from the person who gave me all this things.

As i write this i can feel the tears forming in my eyes. the feel of regret. For some time i have been wondering why i was sad and just felt like crying.. Is it my relationship?? My friends?? My family?? What?? I always had the answer with me; i was just busy trying to get answers to questions that don't exist.

See i remember when i first was new to the faith and was eager to learn and pray and fast and could feel the presence of God i was in another world i was happy but somewhere along the line i lost everything everything that i had built.. I got lost in the maze i created left with nothing but a cold dark empty space and  when my friends asked me, "the Lords asking for you, he misses you, why are you running away from him??" My reply would  be i am not running away from him i am running towards him but deep down inside part of me told me i was running away.  I was scared that i had fallen so far... i did not know where to start pick up the pieces and start again.

Today i write, i pour my heart out in the Hope that there's someone out there who may stumble upon this, who may be in the same situation i am and is scared of starting again. Just keep going i say... if i were to do do it all again i would but i cant so now all i have to do is try harder pray harder and wait til i feel his presence again..

the hardest thing to do is live right that is for sure but i do believe that i can. I have this little faith that pushes me and tells me to wait on the Lord.. Its not going to be easy but I'm hoping it'll get better in time ...

Psalm 27:14

LILLY AMONG THORNS

Today as i walked through the streets heading home i was thinking about the things that would ruin relationships.
My love would bring up people that he doesn't get a good feel about.. At first i thought its cute his a little jealous 'awww' but later i thought about it and came to see why..

Coming out of the biblical view of the saying I'm learning or should  i say getting a different perspective of things or should i say relationships.
Here is the thing if I'm in a relationship then if I'm hanging out with the other opposite sex more often then feelings would come up and then confusion and then cheating. Sure cheating is one of the top trends and the saying that "He's probably cheating so why shouldn't you?" well whether he is or isn't i  don't want to be the same.

It came to me that; if we see the other sex as thorns and your love as a Lilly then you would see the threat that is to come and you would draw your lines. they would be like loose ends you either tie the loose ends or cut them off; or view he thorns as cracks on the wall which you either fill up or break the wall and rebuild it..
Sometimes is just hard to draw the lines but its necessary. remember when they say that there is no "ME" in a relationship but "WE"  well the truth is that relationships are about the two of you not just you so in many cases you have to do things lie cutting off loose ends.It would not be such a loss because you have your Lilly. i personally prefer to remain with my Lilly rather than the thorns...

For me I decided that i will make by man my Lilly among the thorns and not see all the others like lilies and just take each day as it is. if i get screwed over at least i have tried if i don't then it would all be worth the fight. I love him like crazy but no matter how many times i tell him he will not  believe me and this is for sure because actions speak louder than words don't just say it PROVE it..

Think about it  LILLY AMONG THORNS... You don want to get pricked and bleed, stay away from thorns. Why not avoid a problem when you see it rather than going crazy trying to fix it??

"Like a Lilly among the thorns so is my darling among the maidens"
