Dis.Appointed.

Image
I am Disappointed by a man. But Appointed by Jesus. I have been faithful I have no regrets I am relieved I did not let him touch an inch of my skin. He was Disappointed by a woman But Appointed by God I pray he surrenders his body, mind and will to the Almighty God so that he can honor Him in spirit and in truth Disappointed by man. Appointed by God.

Where butterflies live

The words he said Went straight to the region Where butterflies live Where butterflies live I'm told they don't last forever And I know you cannot touch their wings Or they'll die But I love to be in that place while they're alive. Where butterflies live Where butterflies live ... They died.

The One

Image
My heart didn't melt. It warmed up, but it never got hot enough. I fell in love once, completely. It was all-consuming. The colours of my world became brighter. After the heartache of unrequited love I concluded that falling in love was the stupidest thing to do and I vowed not to fall but step in love instead. Where I am now is a place of decision. I believe I can choose whether to fall in love or not. And no one seems right for me. I don't want to fall in love without my mind. I want to like and love him at the same time. Who does God have in mind for me?

Bevor ich geboren bin, bin ich gestorben.

Image
Bevor ich geboren bin, bin ich gestorben. Warum bleiben dann Gefühle meines eigenen Gewissens? Warum bleiben die Gedanken und die Träume meines eigenen Lebens, wenn mich doch Gott neu geschaffen hat, mir neues Blut gegeben hat, mich in eine neue Familie hat gebracht? Ich will nicht mehr traurig sein, dass mein Leben mir wie nichts vorkommt, dass ich mir so unglaublich wertlos vorkomme, und stattdessen will ich den Glauben fassen, dass Gott mich tatsächlich in Seinen Händen trägt, und mich wirklich beschützt vom Bösen. Ich will mich vergessen, mich verlieben, und dann für andere leben, für einen Sinn außerhalb meiner Wünsche, eine Gnade und Liebe erfahren, die nicht aus dieser Welt stammt, sondern ganz weit entfernt und doch so nah. Ich freue mich auf keinen Tod, doch meiner ist schon vergangen, und mein neues Leben hat schon begonnen, jedoch sieht es manchmal nicht danach aus, und ich schäme mich, dass ich mich nicht mehr hab vertraut an den Herrn, den lieben ...

Ein Brief an die Liebe

Image
Wann zuletzt habe ich dich gesehen, gespürt, erlebt? Du warst einmal, zweimal, dreimal in meinem Leben, in meinem Herzen, und du warst das tollste Gefühl, das es je gab, jedes Mal ein bisschen anders. Einmal leidenschaftlich, einmal sensibel, und einmal sanft. Doch jedes Mal habe ich dich genossen. Jedes Mal erschien die Welt in bunten Farben, und ich war erfüllt und inspiriert. Du bist das, wonach ich mich sehne, du bist das, was mir im Leben am wichtigsten ist. Ich suche dich schon so lange. Eigentlich bist du schon lange bei mir. Viele Jahre schon. Ich nehme dich nicht immer wahr. Ich spüre nicht einmal deine Nähe. Ich will dich nicht mehr suchen. Ich glaube fest an dich, an deine Anwesenheit, deine wahrhaftige Existenz, deine Kraft, uns als Menschen zu ändern. Ich habe dich schon lange, meine Liebe, und nun muss ich dich teilen, denn nur so lebst du weiter.

Identity

Image
Fellow Christians will say, we need to know our identity in Christ. At first I did not know what to make of this statement. It baffled me. What it means is that we need to come to an understanding of our relationship with God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. I am a child of God. I am the daughter of the Most High. I am an heir to His kingdom. I am a friend of God. I am also here to do His will. For my spiritual growth and maturity, I need to identify with that, rather than the identities I have taken on before, identities which were essentially labels that people placed on me, either to tease me because they liked me, because they disliked me, because they were jealous of me or because they were trying to protect me. To give yourself an identity based on your habits or peers can give a person a sense of belonging, but if the identity is destructive, it becomes a prison. Identity often has to do with family. When someone asks us about our identity, we think of our date of bi...

Trust

I have been tasked with the question, Why does God not answer prayer? And I take it that this question came up from someone who has been deeply disappointed, someone who is feeling hurt, despondent, even angry and enraged. To grapple with the question of why God does not always answer our prayers, I have come to ask myself, when does God answer prayers? Scripture tells us, if two or more are gathered together in the name of Jesus, God hears us. God tells us to bring all our burdens and petitions to Him. He reminds us over and over again to pray to Him, to trust in Him, to seek first His kingdom and all the things we seek will be given to us. When it comes to prayer, God has given us an example of a righteous prayer. His main desire seems to be having communion with us, to spend time with us, to have us pray and have His Holy Spirit respond and guide us in our daily walk. God reminds us that He tests the heart, that what is most important to Him is our motives. He judges the heart...
