Love knocked on my door

Love knocked on my door and asked “when?”

I gave love a puzzled look and asked “how?”

Love peeked through the window and asked “why?”

I gave love a queer look and asked  “why, why?”

Love let itself in, took a seat and did a triad

“Why will you not love yourself?”

” When will you start to truly love yourself?”

” What does loving yourself mean to you?”

Although a little exaggerated (poetic license : ) ) these are the thoughts that the Lord laid on my heart as I read 1st Corinthians 13 on the 6/08/18.  Have you ever considered obeying and living out 1st Corinthians 13 with yourself as the object. I had always looked at the passage from an agape and romantic point of view but God gave me new insight into it and I am excited to share it with you. Find my reflections here.

When He promises you joy

When He promises you joy stand with your calabash ready to drink your fill. A year ago just about this time , He promised me joy. He confirmed his promise that he’d give me joy. I was badly in need of joy and i held on to the promise with all i had.

Today, I’m filled with joy. I’m quite happy and at peace and there’s no one thing i can adduce it to. It hasn’t been smooth the entire while. I have no idea what tomorrow holds. But, whenever i feel parched, i quietly remind Him that He’s promised me joy.

” You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You. Isaiah 26:3″
