Love letter.

 God’s heart burns with passion for you.

Beloved, you let so many things distract you from seeking Me. I watch you from the time that you open your eyes in the morning to the time when you close them in exhaustion. I watch you even through the night and think about the glorious plans that I have for your life. I desire to give you dreams as you sleep, but your thoughts and worries take over your mind and you either dream of things that are not from Me, or you don’t dream at all. I wish I could show you something, even the smallest glimpse of what I have for you might make you trust Me, desire me. I wait for you as you awake and I long for you to speak to Me. I can give you the wisdom you need as you search frantically for truth in a world that is empty. I have everything you need, yet you rush through your morning like a mad man. Oh, beloved. If only you knew that if you rose up early to spend time with Me, I would multiply your time and you would have a different outcome to your day. But no, you choose to do things on your own. Beloved, it hurts so much to see you live life so blindly! You need to understand that you can’t see the reality of your spirit without My help. Everything springs up from the Spirit, and if your inner life is not overflowing and it lacks- your outward life will reflect that. My child, you wonder why life is so hard and confusing and you become angry with Me for your difficulties, yet you fail to understand the most important thing. I don’t like bringing hardship into your life because I suffer along with you, but I know that this is the only way for Me to get your attention. Sadly, you turn away from Me even more instead of seeking Me and running towards Me. You listen to the voice of the enemy and the voice of your deceitful heart, but I speak to you also and I do it often. It hurts Me so much to feel your rejection. You are not paying attention to Me at all! I want to bless you and give you abundance of life, but I cannot do so unless you are fully Mine. Please, seek me! THERE IS SO MUCH AT STAKE. Can’t you see how much you need Me? When did you forget that I am your first love? When did you forget that you promised to serve Me and to love Me all your days? You’ve forgotten everything I’ve done for you so quickly! Your heart is so absent during the limited amount of time you spend with Me! I watch you open My Word out of obligation and routine. You don’t even speak to Me enough in prayer! You don’t realize that there are things I desire for you to understand, and you can only do so by spending time with Me. I want you to read My Word with excitement and live it out that you may find life and peace. If only you believed how powerful My Word really is and that it is alive- you would hold it in your hands for the treasure that it is and you would never want to put it down! Beloved, if only you made time for Me! Did it ever occur to you that I long to hear your voice? I long for us to speak as someone longs to hear the voice of their lover. Will you make time for me and not just let days pass you by without seeking Me? Yes, the world you live in is fast and restless, but I made your heart for rest and fulfillment. YOU NEED ME. Draw near to Me! Before you’ll make the first step in getting close, I’ll be closer to you than ever before! There are things I need you to change that I may replace them with My Truth and righteousness, but you need me in order to know what you need to do. Beloved, life is meant to be challenging, yet breath-taking at the same time and I want you to experience the thrill of hope as I help you overcome this world. Even as I help you overcome yourself. Only through Me you can overcome! My mercy has no end and My love for you is bigger than the sky you see above and all around you. I’ll be waiting. Every single day of your life, but don’t make the tragic mistake of not coming to Me now! You’re robbing yourself of so much. I DON’T WANT YOU TO MISS OUT ON LIFE. There is a love story waiting for you! Come..I LOVE YOU.

Dare to be alive!

Is your life filled with passion?

When people look at my life, all I want them to see is Christ. This world is full of so-called “Christians”, but so few of them live a life that is worthy of such a high calling. A life that truly radiates Christ! It’s easy to say you’re a Christian, but it’s harder to be like Christ. That’s what being a Christian means, one who is like Christ. Such few people have a true desire to follow Christ. To live the way He did. To live with a passion for the One whose life was the epitome of passion! He didn’t live for himself, but for His Father and used all His time and energy in fulfilling God’s will. What do you live for? What are your goals and aspirations? Most of our dreams are centered so much around ourselves and so little on impacting the lives of the ones around us. There is so much more God wants to do through us, but He won’t do it unless we give ourselves fully to Him. He only blesses and enriches what is His. If we are not willing to make ourselves His, we are in fact closing the door to His work and are left with mediocre lives. God wants us to dream big and His desire is to take us far! Farther than we could ever go in our own strength! The price we pay for settling is bigger than we can imagine! Why are we willing to trade our desire to be alive for things of this world just because it is safer? We are made to be alive and to share that life with the ones around us! This life is found in seeking Christ with everything that’s in us and letting Him live through us. I see so little life, even in myself. We simply just…exist. How sad! This causes me all the more to pursue Christ with everything that I am! I want to shine so bright that the world will find it hard to miss the presence of Christ in my life! I want to be so close to Christ that it will be impossible for me to separate myself from Him; to live for myself and not for Him. God is calling our generation to live lives that glorify Him! He is calling us to be pure in a world that is dark and lifeless. The world we live in is dead and we are slowly dying with it. LET’S DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! God is looking for hearts that desire to be fully devoted to Him and who surrender completely to His will. Not just half-way, but full on! We have forgotten what it means to live for God. We take it too lightly, we offer too little of ourselves. We’ve lost our fire, yet God wants and is able to ignite our hearts with His fire again! All we have to do is seek Him. He will make our lives worth living! Lord, teach us what it means to truly live for you and please give us the strength and desire to do it!!!

Calling the crowd to join his disciples, he said, “Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat; I am. Don’t run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I’ll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to saving yourself, your true self. What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you? What could you ever trade your soul for?”

Mark 8:34-37 (MSG)

The mystery of a woman’s soul.

You are captivating.

Woman at her very essence is captivating. When God created Eve, he filled her heart with a beauty that every woman carries in her soul ever since. This is not something you have to obtain, it is something that you already own because of who you are. There are three core desires inside every woman’s heart. The first desire is romance, or you can call it intimate relationship. Why do you think women read love novels or they like movies with romantic content? This desire can be traced back to your childhood years. Remember the games you used to play as a little girl? I know I do. I loved to play with my Barbie doll and create a family for her; she always had to have a husband and it was always about love. The second desire is adventure, or having an irreplaceable role in a great story. From the beginning of creation, Eve was designed as a perfect half for Adam; nothing else in all creation was able to take her place. In the story God created, she was irreplaceable. Also, she was meant to share this adventure with someone; her part of the story was crucial. The third desire is beauty. Every woman longs to hear she is beautiful; that she has a beauty of her own to be seen and shared. Remember the little twirling skirts you wore as a little girl? I still love turning around in a circle every time I wear one. Little girls love to do that; they want to be admired and delighted in. Oh, what about dress up? I’m sure we all remember those days. Yet, how many of us grew up in homes that encouraged our feminine hearts? Most of us were probably shamed instead of being told we were lovely. Instead of having our fathers tell us we are beautiful, they told us to stop spending so much time in front of the mirror. So, we grew up looking for validation in dangerous places and even if we found some; it probably wasn’t the right kind. We are hurt and wounded; our hearts have been buried along the years. How do we embrace our feminine hearts and learn that these desires were placed in our hearts for a purpose? Let’s start by accepting them and realizing that they tell us of the life God intended for us to live. A life of romance, adventure, and beauty. God offers to come and be your hero, He wants to heal your heart and help you embrace everything you were meant to be. He knows you are captivating and delights in you. His love will set your heart free!
