L.O.V.E

I heard of this word… but… couldn’t really understand it
People told me a lil about it but…
Love… what is its true meaning?
Who can truly understand it?
Is it even possible to fully understand?
I need to know…
L.O.V.E someone tell me what it means!
My heart is aching to know
What is this Love I hear about?
Does it even exist?
Lord please hear me
Don’t leave me here in this fog of disorder and misunderstanding
Reveal unto me the meaning of this word Love
L- Longsuffering
O- Open hearted
V- Vowing
E- Eternal
Love is a very powerful word and must be taken seriously
Love what a word… now I understand it… I can feel this Love
It feels so warm
Lord thank you for giving me this Love!

Holy Ghost Solider

Out on the battlefield they fight many wars on foreign soil
Out in the city streets they march
With their guns and armor on
They go into battle…
My question is where are the real soldiers of God?
The ones who fight the war in the spirit realm?
The wars that are being fought everyday
The soldiers cry out where are the soldiers who are on there knees
There’s a call out for the Holy Ghost soldiers
Where are the soldiers that fight in the spirit?
Not many are found
God is calling for HOLY GHOST SOLDIERS!
Will you be the one who will answer the call?
Or will you be the one who ignores it…?
Will you be the one who will put on THE ARMOR OF GOD?
And march into battle on your knees
Putting on The Helmet of Salvation
The Breastplate of Righteousness
The Shield of Faith
The Belt of Truth
The Sword of the Spirit
And the Foot gear to walk in to gospel of peace?
Or will you be the one necked and vulnerable?
Prepare yourself for battle.
GO…FIGHT…WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are You Blind?

To be blind is to be unaware of the things around you…
Unable to see what’s in front of you
Not knowing who is watching your every move.
Are you blind?
Are you blind to the path you are on…?
Not able to see the obstacle that stands before you?
Are you blind to the one who seeks to destroy your very being?
Or are you blind to the One who woke you up this very morning?
What are you blind to?
Will you gain your sight before it’s too late?
Before the time on your life clock runs out?
When you stand before His mighty throne will you then see?
Why not gain your sight in the here and now?
Jesus is the ultimate eye doctor
Let him do the surgery
Let him give you eyes to see in this dark and evil world
Will you let him?
Or will you stay blind?
To not know what’s in front of you.
You have a choice…
Will you make the right one?

Fading Away

The emptiness is consuming me; the walls are closing in on me
I feel so alone, I have no one to turn to
I’m alone in this dark corner fading away
My heart has broken beyond repair, my soul has weakened
Everything I wanted to be is falling apart my dreams crushed
I was striped from my happiness
The beautiful world I had around me has faded away I’m all that remains
Darkness is all around me and I’m starting to fade away
I don’t feel the way I did before, everybody turned there back when I asked for help
No one is here for me I’m all alone
The darkness is consuming me; soon I will cease to exists
I need help but there’s no one here
God please help me before I fade away
Shine your light on me
Son of God come and save me before this darkness consumes me!
Lord take me out of this darkness!
Lord put my heart back together; return the world that has been lost to me
Be a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path
Lord save me.

Is There A God

Is there a God?
Take a look at the mountains strong and bold so high they reach the sky
The sea so far and wide and so serene
Look at the trees so tall and full of life, oh! How great, You are!
To look at these things take my breath away
I listen to the wind blowing through the trees so calm and gentle at times mighty and boisterous, I know not where it comes from but yet I feel and hear it
Look at the sky so big and blue; the clouds float peacefully across it as the birds fly beside them
The sun so warm and bright puts a smile on my face
Oh how beautiful the world is
At night as I look in the sky, the stars sparkle in the dark as the moon shines beside them
Even beyond them there is beauty
In the vast dark space where there is no life the planets that circle the sun stay in place
How is all this possible?
How does
The mountains stay strong, the sky stays big and blue or how does the wind still blow
How does the sun still rise and greet the earth?
Is there a God?
Some say no but I say yes how else can you explain the greatness I see every day
There is so much that can be told but I think I’ll stop here; for I know now that to the mind of those that can hear the voice that’s ever so near telling them there is a God of heaven and earth and I am that I am the creater of all including you and me.
Yes there is a God!

Ripples


The beats of your heart make the water quiver
The water that was once calm and still are now shaken and disturbed
When I look into this pond my reflection is now blurry from the cause of the ripples
In the depths of the pond the sound of your heartbeat still reaches
I can feel the vibrations deep down in my soul
But I can’t allow you to enter
Too many times have I been hurt
But my heart is responding to the sound of yours
As our sound waves penetrate my shell
My heart is beginning to harmonize with the rhythm
The tone isn’t too high; too low just the right pitch to put my soul at peace
The hidden part of myself is now beginning to come to the light
I am starting to remember myself

I can feel your heart connecting to mine
You came down to this dark place to keep me from fading away in these dark cold depths
As you hold me and as our hearts are harmonized in this mood of serenity
The strongest sense of security overwhelms me
As you lift my chin so you can look into my eyes and into my soul
The softness of your lips touched my forehead
Rising up from the depths
All that remains are our heartbeats making the water ripple
