Whatever it is that makes you feel alive. Pursue it. We don't live for regrets anymore. And when you get to reach satisfaction, cherish it. Don't let it go, keep yourself refreshed just like the first time you knew about how beautiful your dream is. And most importantly, remember that that one thing that makes you feel alive is because God has been breathing life in it to you. He is the source of the life that we have been wanting ever since - alive and fruitful. This, I know and can tell for sure, because of the great pursuit that I have for The Great One. The Only One that I know who could bring me into becoming more that what I wanted for my life. He knows the real desire of my heart. And that to be with Him, in His presence forever. There's nothing more that I want in life now than His will be done. He knows everything. He is in control. He is good. And He is my Father. All because of Jesus for this revelation and joy. All because of Jesus that I am accessible to every promises that He has spoken in the Testaments. And it is because of the Holy Spirit that I am empowered to stand in every mind and strength battle, He sustains. Life. And all that it is, that it offers. We can only experience the abudance of it in the fullness of His salvation. To fight for this truth under any circumstance. I, for myself learned to quiet my soul by His Word, where there is His Presence, my satisfaction. My portion who holds my lot secure.

"Love thrives in soil of maturity and commitment," (Boiling Waters)

Unless Jesus is enough, nothing and no else will satisfy. 

Do not look for love
It will come
Do not force
For we can only give what we have
 
We cannot put our place to God's
So don't manipulate
Don't complete yourself with others
So, darling, let go

Don't be distracted
Don't turn away
Remember that He is good
Remember that He is forever good

And if it happens
that you forget
and search for love
in so many ways

Go back to the only way
Go back to the only truth
Go back to the only life
Go back to Jesus

No matter how impossible it seems
No matter how hard it is
No matter how broken you are
No matter how you're brought far

Love has always been there
Love came and reached out
Love opened the heavens
Love kissed the sea open

He is for you
He is not against you
He is holding you
He will never let you go 

Let Him delight in you
Let Him rejoice over you with loud singing
Let Him silence you with His love
Let Him keep you in His wings

Remember
Do not forget
Know
And keep it

He believes in you
He loved you first
He forgave you
He wants you back


Just come back.

Thought experiment?

You said there's something
You see in the soul
That seems magical
It attracts you to come close

And you dove in the risk
I wonder if I was worth it
A risk you took as an experiment
The risk you took advantage

You're the smart kind'a of a jerk
But too selfish to celebrate
A fool to love himself
You never really cared

How well were those words
Constructed to sound like birds
The world revolved in music
Or so I think

But recently you were consuming
Ignoring the fact you will fall
I took the between to be cool
Believed boundary's still my tool

So I decided to make it right
Afraid of my resolve to fight
It begun with frienship
All hopes it's worth keeping

To protect you means
To protect me
I stepped out from
Where we're in

I'm sorry if I have to do it
I'm sorry if I have to let go
I'm sorry if I won't believe
I'm sorry if I have to choose this

You might be cool about it
But I'm not
You might be cool about it
But I hope you're not

I want you to know
That you are amazing
You are a genuine talent
A brilliant reflection of Him

And now
Everything is said and done
The decision is handed down
May you enjoy the crown

I'm broken to tell goodbye
You don't care, You won't protect
So I'll be the one to take steps aback
This is fine, I will be fine

I hate goodbyes
But I also hate what you do
I hate goodbyes
But I think this is the best for you

PS. You made yourself your paradox to me.

If everything is taken away, will you still be thankful? If everything is taken away, will you think God is still good to you? If everything is taken away, what shall be your portion? If everything is taken away, will you still walk to where He's leading you?

I Will Wait For You

Here's an excerpt from the spoken poetry of Jannette...ikz: I will wait for you (emphasis added) You may watch the video above for the full message. Enjoy!

And I will know you
because when you speak,
I will be reminded of Solomon’s wisdom,
your ability to lead will remind me of Moses,
your faith will remind me of Abraham,
your confidence in God’s Word will remind me of Daniel,
your inspiration will remind me of Paul,
your heart for God will remind me of David,
your attention to detail will remind me of Noah,
your integrity will remind me of Joseph,
and your ability to abandon your own will, will remind me of the disciples,
but your ability to love selflessly & unconditionally will remind me of Christ.
But I won’t need to identify you by any special Matthews
or any special marks,
’cause His Word will be tatted all over your heart.

And you will know me,
and you will find me,
where
the boldness of Esther
meets the warm closeness of Ruth,
where the hospitality of Lydia
is aligned with the submission of Mary,
which is engulfed in the tears of a praying Hanna.
I will be the one,
drenched in Proverbs 31,
waiting for you.

But to my Father,
my Father who has known me before I was birthed into this earth, only if You should see fit.
I desire Your will above mine.
So even if you call me to a life of singleness,
my heart is content with You–the One who was sent.
You are the greatest love story ever told,
the greatest love ever known.
You are forever my judge & I’m forever Your witness,
and I pray that I’m always found on a mission about my Father’s business.
I will always be Yours,
and I will always wait for You, Lord.
More than the watchmen wait for the morning,
more than the watchmen wait for the morning, I will wait.

What's happening is quite crazy; a bit of madness and a pinch of can-someone-stop-the-nonsense? But it's humbling. Then, "Be firm, Rau" echoes inside my bones. Somewhere in the cosmos I find myself, there's something great that keeps everything from breaking. "Shema." Listen. Keep the word. Be steadfast.

Remember that before you were a minister, you were a worshiper. And the time that's in your hands, use it - "it's a gift." BE FAITHFUL in the small things. It's gonna be okay. You need more practice; everyone is moving up. BE FAITHFUL in the things you love. It's gonna be okay.
