GODS REST IN THE MIDST OF A STORM

A Maverick roll in high and fierce

Deafening drones lost in its relentless path

Tunnel’s of froth majestic in their descent

As a I traverse the tempestuous sea

Your love and mercy

Feeds my tired soul

In the midst of the storm within

I know my landing is secure

In the centre I see a White Form

Grant me Lord

That I guard the shores of Your peace

Boisterous waves of emotions flee

As I flow in the gentle rhythms of Your Grace

Finally, still in the quiet presence of Your rest

Maria

DIALOGUE WITH GOD - TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE FATHER!!

God chose an earthen Vessel

Fashioned from lowly clay

Stripped of Heavens Glory

For all man’s sins to pay

Christ passed the baton over

To my trembling human hand

Then my Saviour whispered

“Child it’s time to take a stand

I called you as an eagle

To soar the heights above

I come beneath your wings of clay

That you may know this flight of Love

The circumstances of your life

Shook the earth beneath your feet

But it was My unseen hand that turned your face

My unwavering gaze to meet”

“I submit my heart before You

As You charter my life’s course

A faithful loving Father 

You are my only source”

My spirit knows no boundaries

As I embark upon this race

My overwhelming passion to share His matchless Grace

“you are the apple of my eye

Your name inscribed upon my Hand

Now pass the baton on

So that others too may stand” Maria

THAT GOD SHOULD LOVE THE HUMAN BEING WITH THE SAME LOVE THAT HE LOVED HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON IS A MAJESTIC REVELATION

“The supreme revelation which towers above the rest, like some great banyan tree amid the slenderer growth of the Indian Forest, is that the Creator should indwell and find a mansion in the heart of His creatures” JB Meyer

This is why we can “Love the Lord Thy God with all thy soul and all thy heart”

Yet multitudes live a separated life from an awareness of God let alone His all prevailing love for mankind.

THIS BRINGS ME TO ANOTHER POINT; WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SECOND COMMANDMENT;

“Love one another”

Church Splits, Offended Christians, Broken Christian Relationships, Lack of Honour for Spiritual Fathers and Mothers, Factions, Serious Doctrinal Differences; so, the long list goes on.

What happened to our submission to Christ’s Prayer?

“Father that they may be one as We are one”

The early church knew the Glory of God because they existed for the Glory of God 

The early church did not have any need because they lived for the common good.

The early church submitted to one another because fundamentally they knew they were part of a Spiritual Body.

Today these truths are secondary. Many believers think the church exists to benefit them, forgetting that they are the “church “but for the Grace of God to benefit the world

IT IS A GRAVE SIN TO SHUN ONES ERSTWHILE SHEPHERDS, FELLOW BELIEVERS BROTHERS AND SISTERS;

The wounded body should be primary yet it is shunned as a secondary issue.

ONE LIMB OF THE BODY OF CHRIST cannot say to another limb “you are unacceptable therefore I cut you off

“Learn to revere the work of God in the souls of others. Destroy not the soul for whom Christ died and in whom Christ lives! Weak and erring, trying and vexatious thy fellow believer may yet be, yet there is a chamber in his nature in which God has already taken up abode.

The conflict between that which is of the spirit and that which is of the flesh may be long and arduous but the fact remains. Assist but do not hinder the process. Be reverent, careful and mindful of the presence of God in another. “JB Meyer

Do not judge another’s walk as the Husbandmen holds the compass.

We want the Power without the Price.

We want the Glory without the Obedience.

Seek ye first!

Seek ye first!

So arise today
Blessed by all things,
Wings of breath,
Delight of eyes,
