I will play fairies, and princess with you. I will dress up and I will invent with you, I will draw my sword with you. We will be kings and queens, we will be indians and cowboys. To me they’re just games, but you, you believe you can be anything!
You believe what you hear, you will envisage and you will create. You do not know what we call, ‘reality.’ Your reality is:...
character building..
that is what it is. that’s what it all is.

“Do I possess the house in which I live? No, it is only on loan to me from God while I remain in that place. Do I possess the clothes I wear? No, they are on loan to me until they wear out, or until I give them away to someone in greater need. Do I possess this body that you see before you? No, it was lent to me by God when I was born, and He will take it back when I die. Do I possess the...

Am currently cruising on the Pacific Sun with my family and a few other church families. As we sail, we are engulfed by a carpet of endless sea and I marvel at the works of Your hands.
You can’t walk in a straight line on the ship if you tried, at best a zig zag, because of the unsteady motion of the ship. This just means it takes longer to get to places lol.
The service on the ship is...
Psalm 32
1Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered. 2 Blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit. 3 When I kept silent, my bones grew old Through my groaning all the day long. 4 For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; My vitality was turned into the...
When I took my heart out →
complete-in-christ:
When I took my heart out, of Your grasp O Lord,
I took it from Your tender hands,
And gave it to another, forgetting my first Love,
Thinking without You I could stand.
But it was trampled upon, wounded and used
Fell broken with no strength to rise
But as it laid in the depths, laid falling apart
From the depths it began to cry
So You whispered my name, and...
I often wonder if that which is holy and lives within us has ever touched you…
It is not we ourselves, but that which fills and pervades, that which provides and remakes, that which was, and is and is to come

Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth i will cry to You, when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For You have been a shelter for me, I will trust in the shelter of Your wings.

Whatever difficulties there may be, whatever dangers, each of my days will start radiantly if I remember-with my whole soul and all my thought-that my Saviour has conquered the powers of evil and death.

For how am I to know what lies ahead?
Should I not take chances because things may take a turn?
Where shall I go, or what shall I do?
Here I am waiting for me to know,
for me to grow;
for my sight.
And now I silently pray — hear my words today

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.
— Hebrews 12:1
Ps 65:11; Ps 81:1 You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance. Sing aloud to God our strength; Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob.
Psalm 102:24-26
I said, “O my God, Do not take me away in the midst of my days; Your years are throughout all generations. Of old You laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands. They will perish, but You will endure; Yes, they will all grow old like a garment; Like a cloak You will change them, And they will be changed.
O Lord, if You permit, grant me strength let me not displease You, carry me in Your righteous right hand and heal my wounded heart.
Jesus Prayer Song My Lord Jesus Christ, Thou True Son of God, Have Mercy upon me, I the sinner.
I am weak and frail Lord, And I cannot fight; Grant me strength my Saviour, Lord I need Thy might!

You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Nevertheless I am continually with You;
You hold me by my right hand.
You will guide me with Your counsel.
— Ps. 73: 23, 24
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
O Lord, You know my coming in and my going out. Strengthen me according to Your word.
He lifts me above the high hills and directs
my goal toward the heavenly home, so that
I may be filled with all the fullness of God.
— St. Augustine
A wonder is Your mother. The Lord entered her and became a servant; He entered able to speak and he became silent in her; He entered her thundering and his voice grew silent; He entered Shepherd on all; a lamb He became in her; He emerged bleating.
The womb of Your mother overthrew the orders:
The establisher of all entered a rich one; He emerged poor
He entered her a lofty one; He emerged...

Psalm 143:8-10
Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning,
For in You do I trust;
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,
For I lift up my soul to You.
Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies;
In You I take shelter.
Teach me to do Your will,
For You are my God;
Your Spirit is good.
Lead me in the land of uprightness.

“We shall rest and we shall see, we shall see and we shall love, we shall love and we shall pray, in the end which is no end.” - St. Augustine
“I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: ‘Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God.’” Revelations 19:1
“That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according...

You watch me as though you forgot the whole creation! You grant me your gifts as though I am alone the object of your love!” St Augustine
Psalm 139
O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.
You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.

Late Have I Loved You - St. Augustine of Hippo
“Late have I love You, beauty
so old and so new; late have
I loved You. And see, You
were within and I was in the
external world and sought
You there, and in my unlovely
state I plunged into those
lovely created things which You
made. You were with me, and I
was not with You. The lovely
things kept me far from You,
though if they...

I sleep, but my heart is awake; It is the voice of my beloved! He knocks, saying,
“ Open for me, my sister, my love, My dove, my perfect one; For my head is covered with dew, My locks with the drops of the night.”
(Songs 5:2)
My spirit groans within me how long O Lord? Night and day i drown my bed in tears do not forget your servant forever for i need Your strength to gird me In my distress i cried to the Lord In my suffering He hears me I have none but You You alone do i seek
