Desert Water

Why have you left me here? Abandoned me here in the driest desert?
Arid land surrounds me in all directions.
The heat of the sun beats down on me and withers me.
I thirst for you. I am parched from crying out for/to you

You refresh the weariest of souls. One drop of your water will sustain me
Quench my eternal thirst of my soul.

You are the oasis my soul longs for
You are the living water;
You are the river that flows to the deepest depths.
The depths of your waters are beyond the deepest of understanding.

Turn this desert into the ocean of your glory
The riverbed into the floodplain of your righteousness
May I be overflowing of everything that you are

Burning Heart

It is not with our eyes that we see you,
It is with our hearts.
We search to see you and find nothing, for we search with blinded eyes.
It is with hearts burning for you that we find you.
You be found by a heart burning with fire for you.
Hearts ablaze for you, your love and mercy will not grow cold.
Fan the flames of my heart.
Be the focus of my heart.
Let my heart burn for you, burn with fire that will never go cold.

Rant

On a friend request on My Space said that they liked my style. I didn’t know that I had any style. I can only guess that they were on about the blogs that I had posted there. Blogs I have also posted elsewhere. They were me downloading stuff as the only style I have is to be me – whatever that is. It’s the only style that anyone can have, to be the person that they are. We may try and be something we’re not, or, in most case, hide certain aspects of which we are that we don’t want to make known. All that achieves is nothing. We don’t want to be seen as week or as failures. This is something that I struggle with.
We don’t want to be seen as weak or inferior.
We all want to be a part of something, to belong. We are made to be with others. We are social beings and don’t want to be left out and stuck on the periphery.
Dare we drop our facade and be seen as human, the people that we are mad to be.
The strongest, courageous people are those who are at ease with themselves who have the confidence to dare to be who God has made them to be, to be totally focused on him. For it is for your glory to be that way.
To be so focused on Jesus that the only way that we can see those around us, is as Jesus sees them, and to love then as Jesus loves them.To be out on the periphery, where so many hurting people are and be real with them; be Jesus to them and to love them as Jesus loves them –

Blog

Whether to maintain a blog or not, to retain the anonymity of expression what we really think.

The need to be heard in the maddening world in which we live; to satisfy the need to be needed, if only for a short while, to quell the lonelyness of being in the crowd. To keep quiet will add building pressure in us, to blow off steam in a way that does no harm; to scream and feel better after.

The safety valve that is a blog.

Heart Beat

Where are you my heart? Why are you so far from me?
Why do you slumber in sleeps soft shroud?
Stir from your shroud and beat
Beat for the one who loves you.
Beat as one with true love divine.
My heart will beat for you.

Untitled

Step out into the unknown.
To be the person that we are supposed to be.
To try and fail is better than not trying at all; what have I got to loose by trying?
How to be what I'm supposed to be; to not give a damn what others think.
Who am I trying to please?
Lost - Surrounded by people you know and to still be alone
Screaming and not knowing if you will be heard; having no voice at all
There is one who knows you better than you know yourself.
One who made you and has a path planned for you.
Who will restore you to the place you should be.
Let go of what hinders, the hidden hurt we hold onto
Accept this restoration; the presence of the purifying peace will cause this present pain to pass, if we let it.

Be free from your past; be free from your fear and pain.
Let love wash over you and wash you clean
Be cleansed by the power of his spirit in you
Be filled with the joy he gives, be filled to overflowing.
Overflowing radiance of the depth of his love
Be radiant of what he has done for youBe made whole again.

Another Day

Another Day goes by, nothing much ever seems to change really. The way this year has gone I'll be glad when it is over, as 2009 is a chance to start fresh.

Still there the silly party on Friday to look forward to.

Re Start

Back blogging again. I stopped and deleted my old blog for various reasons. Mainly, it got to the point where I was just going on about one thing and venting my frustration bourne out of that. Having taken a break from blogging (and trying somethin different - mainly Facebook) I'm back.

I'm back, because as it turns out that I still need somewhere where I can download my (random) thoughts & whatever.
