Here

I’m here looking at the fire notice how the tongues devour seconds one by one A long line of seconds simply keeps on coming they seem to have no end but the moment they arrive, it is the end Here, is a wall standing strong and tall a second’s brief glory that’s all Since creation …

The Bridegroom

Follow Me rather than lean on Me Love Me instead of using Me Desire to be in Me Rather than desiring to be covered by My protection Long to hear Me and stop asking Me to serve you Desire to know My plans for you and stop telling Me to bless all your plans Let …

Words on the Ground

A word on paper has meaning to show the curious reader who needs to know Yet… If nobody wants to know none would read then the words are forsaken and become as deceased suddenly, withered as leaves they lie on the ground Spoken words are different though Shaped in syllables of waves and sound Pregnant …

Flower

The essence of a flower is the aroma and the colour of the petals. Sadly, when one petal is missing or bruised, the flower is often esteemed as unfit to be used. Imagine, only one single petal missing and it’s simply cast aside! The one-petal-missing-flower astonishingly continues to portray and spread its authentic quintessence. In …

Get up and Walk!

The world is tough My child, that I know you are blaming Me for feeling low you are walking backwards, dear facing front but back you go you have the light, bright and strong yet you only see the sad and wrong looking at darkness for so long the light seems faded, almost gone you’ve …

Know Me

My child, as you know, I am in you. What do you do when you need Me? Phone a friend or post a request on social media? What do you see when you look for Me? Or don’t you expect to see Me. What do you hear when you speak to Me? Or don’t you …

The Prodigal Son

He wanted all he wanted out So he went and spent it all All he had was... nothing Nothing push friends away like nothing Alone hungry and lost Down at the feet where the pigs eat I want back He thought… Back home I’ll be a servant unfree but glad Safe at the feet of …

The New Suit

I was so late; my calendar was two days ahead. I was filthy, I was wrong. I was mean, selfish and obscene. I thought I was the apple of God’s eye. Me, the most important guy. Then I met her… Integrity is her name. Beautiful, naked... without shame. At first I saw what my eyes …

Rivers

To the writer, the farmer, the preacher The housewife, the teacher Scientist, politician - to everyone who feels a bit low. Take what's in your hand, be it pen or plow, speech, ladle Whatever you've got to sow, take courage and let it flow Substitute my "pen" for what's in your hand And make God's …

Now is the Time

You heard the Message but what did you hear? Revelation of facts – then why do you fear? The truth is – Jesus is on His way here but alas, where are you... dear? All you see is painted in blue Dark clouds across the face of you Blue is great but if it’s all …

I love you Dad

Those who know their parents well know how they touch and sound and smell Remember their voices and all the good choices I know how it feels when dad holds you tight or when mom tugs you in at night Nothing however, comes close to Jesus embracing your soul The feeling of care and love …

The Ground

Come rain, sun, wind and sand I’m the ground on which you stand It is on me you run down here below It’s in me you mine and sow—I gave and gave and still give some more! I am what you claim, “my ground” but thanks to you, I am cursed (Gen 3:17) and you, …

Rest in Me

You have opened your heart to let Me in to be loved by Me as your next of kin If people look at you would they know I am here too? You kept on running wherever you went resting was pointless, not a second to spend You ran for your future, away from your past …

Tumbleweed Cries

A tumbleweed rolls as the wind blows it bumps, jumps, stumbles and sows For miles and meters and further it goes And all along the way new tumbleweeds grow The wind picked her up but she couldn’t fly She tumbled and rolled until she crashed and died The old tumbleweed’s life ended with a sigh …

Trust

I’ve experienced some minor illness for a couple of weeks but Praise God, am glad to say that I’ve recuperated well! During my ordeal I almost lost track of the reality of the grace of God in action, which He explained to me through the short letter that follows. Take time to settle down Keep …

Expectations

Expectations is pregnant, filled with hope or fear With fear on top, hopelessness is near Hope has a total different attitude observing life from a much higher altitude So many with wide opened eyes look at where the blood moon lies Expecting to find on that day the end of the world in a brutal …
