Jesus I love You

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

None else can take Your place. There is no equal. I revisited the cross and the tomb as though I was ever there before and understood again what I was responsible for. Lord, thank You. I'll never know what it was like, to what lengths You went for me. It's beyond me, and I'll never know. But with what I have that You've given me, I give it back to You as a tribute. Yes, my life as a tribute to You, how absurd it even sounds.

Thank You for loving me.

I look up to you

She's like a mother to me when she tells me stories of her own experiences. I learn about the values she holds dear through the things she says and I appreciate the person that she is. She's a woman of beauty.

I pray this child will find her Father's arms. Open and guide the eyes of her heart to Him, until she knows that she's unfathomably loved, wanted and treasured by Him from the very beginning to eternity. In the almighty name of Jesus, amen.

For we, we are not long here
Our time is but a breath
So we better breathe it
And I, I was made to live
I was made to love
I was made to know You
--- C.S Lewis Song, Brooke Fraser

My mind's a mass of thoughts, an open sea. What's prevailing amongst them all though?
I'm thinking of how I could read, inquire and meditate more and subsequently know and understand more about the times I live in. More. I feel gently nudged towards more. I feel an internal desire gently brewing, urging me, making me want more.
Maybe the lion in me is at long last awakening. I don't care for much anymore when compared to being all I can be for You, to seeing what You see, grasping a little more of what You think and feel and who exactly You are, to declaring and seeing Your total rule enforced on earth as it is in heaven.
I wanna see You
Wanna know You for You
Wanna burn, burn
Blaze for You

Paths

Running alongside each other...
I don't see that anymore. I tried to see it before, tried to make out where we were each running, the paths that we were taking. But what could be seen was a blurred vision, something somewhat impossible to decipher by a mere individual - human, too.
I then concluded that what God had already shown and spoken to me was enough. And faith was required for the walk. So I walked, and I became free, freer, from the expectations of others and having my own expectations.
Now all I see, Daddy... is none other than just You.
Everything literally fades out when my eyes are on You.
I believe, even if I don't see. I believe, without a doubt, that You have given me the best.
I believe we're going to fully glorify You in the grandest, highest, and most intimate of ways. You are my only path. And I rest in that You are his too.

I just pray that many more will walk this way for You are our destination.

Come now where no eye has seen
No ear has heard
No mind can conceive
Your Kingdom come
And forever reign
