Gather around and sit at my table
We call the poor, the widow and the lowly of heart
You call the rich, the wicked and the prideful to sit with you
But you question the washing of hands, rather than questioning your intentions
All the while you defile your mother and father
You become men of traditions
Rather than men of God
You forgo the mercy and the love and replace it with sacrificing
Believing that the sacrifices are what saves your soul
Oh you foolish Pharisees, he doesn’t want your sacrifices if you have no mercy or love  ..read more

You love me when I am far from you
You love me when I am close to you
Your love defies all means of life
The love we seek from others can’t compare to yours
For you are love and love is you
If we abide in you and you in us then we are love
And that love knows no fear or evil
This is the love that I want and the love that I need ..read more

My mind questions everything that I hear
Not sure if it’s my voice or yours
It’s a whisper that can be heard faintly
It brings me peace and a sense of joy
But my mind goes back into doubt
Questioning that little voice in my mind
I’ve heard voices before but it brought fear and anxiety
So I put myself in a position of vulnerability
When I don’t lean on your understanding
It drives me into a corner, that sets me into flight or fight
My flight is to run away from it all
But my fight is to stand tall and fight against it all
Knowing that when I resist h ..read more

What is it that you are looking for that can not be found in him
Why is it that we look to the stars and the waters
But not to the creator
Is your heart still lost and confused
Is your soul still yearning for peace
If so, then cling to his presence and his name
For HE alone can bring you out of that suffering and make you anew
For he is your Father who knew you in the womb
So turn not to others for your salvation but to the one who gave it to you
For he is the beginning, the end, the Alpha and the Omega ..read more

Oh Israel, how have thou forsaken God
Who brought you out of bondage from Egypt
The God that commands you to worship no other
The God who is jealous, loving and righteous
But you stiff neck people forget the wonders and signs
And go a-whoring after other gods
The anger of the true God will be kindled against you
While your false gods stand idly by
As your blessings turn into curses
Oh, Israel repent of your sins and come back home
For God is forgiving, merciful, loving, and kind ..read more

So let’s jump right into this. For those who are new in their faith or even just curious and are wondering how do I get into Heaven. There is only one way, and that way is through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. For John 14:6 says “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me”.
Because Jesus walked a perfect life and died on the cross for our sins, we are given free salvation and eternal life. But we must accept that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Saviour and died for our sins.
Romans 10:9 “That if thou shalt confess with ..read more

They passionately walked with God
As they journeyed through the Garden
Gleefully gazing upon his creation
But separation lead to the appetite of their fleshy desires
Which caused their righteousness to expire
Deceived by an errant fallen angel
Who witfully played on words
Lead to the first fall of mankind
Now doomed to toll and labor the fruits of the ground
By the sweat of their brows, their punishment was found
Now cast from the Garden of Eden for soon
They will surely die ..read more

Cast my fears into your hands
For you are in control
No enemy shall prosper
For am I yours and you are with me
You cast your arms around me
To fill me with love
As a weep on my knees
Calling your name forever
For you are my Saviour
My Love, My Breath, My Hope
My Everlasting Joy
I have made my home with you and for you
I shall stand tall in my faith and my love
For you stood tall in your death
To save us from Hell, so that we may live forever and ever
My Lord My Savior Jesus Christ

As emotional creatures, we yearn to be loved and to love. But do we really know what real love is?
I can say personally that I have never known true love. I have searched throughout my years looking for love in all the wrong places. I looked for love in sexual immorality, in myself, in drugs, and in the world. But in the end, all I felt was emptiness an emptiness that would persist no matter what I did or where I looked. I would have bouts of depression and self-harm. I didn’t want to live anymore because I always felt so empty. But something inside wanted to live. Something inside of me w ..read more
