You are mine - A poem



No matter what others say about you
The ill words about you
The incorrigible person you would be
The difficult person you are
All I want you to know; You are mine. 

You might be living in fear and uncertainty
What might come of you in the days to come
Life looks upside down
There is no light down the tunnel
All I want you to know; You are mine. 

Helpless as you are; unable to control
The circumstances seem to stand tall
You thought in your young blood
You had it all figured out. But now..... 
All I want you to know; You are mine. 

Tired as you are. Running down the valley
Despite all odds you stay strong
But no one seems to understand
You strive hard to make ends meet
All I want you to know; You are mine. 

What difference it's going to make Lord? 
Yes I am yours - because you created
I am your property because you own me
But still I have to face the heat. 
I have to do the running. 

Son 'You are mine' doesn't mean you're my property
But that you are my signet ring
How little do you know me? 
I have placed you close to my bosom. 

Nothing can separate you from my love
I love you beyond what you can imagine
The struggles you go through, I understand, I sympathize
I am there with you till the end of ages. 

It is more than pity, more than compassion
It is more than what your earthly words can describe. 
You are precious to me. You are my love. 
Nothing could deter me from continuing to love you. 

Your name is written on my palms. 
The wound is still gaping
The blood is still flowing
It is only I who has this blemished body for eternity, for you. 

I have redeemed you. I have ransomed. 
I cannot leave you. I cannot forsake you
I am there for you. Wherever you go. 
The Almighty. Your everloving Father. 

Is anything too hard for me? 
Don't you realize the depth of my love for you? 
I know it's impossible for you to fathom. 
But see a glimpse of it. 

Stop running in the rut. Seeking love
And recognition and acceptance
I have loved you with an everlasting love
Nothing can deter me from loving you

Father I understand
Who am I to be loved like this? 
What good have I done? 
Who am I that you're mindful of me? 

Son, it is not because you have done things the right way. 
It is not because of any of your filthy rags
It is because of who I am
I am love.

Love beyond the enemy line - a poem

For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. Gal:3:26 Enemy I was; born to hate Him. Told to hate Him; I was His sworn in enemy. I had declared rebellion. I did not have anything to do with Him. And His good and perfect will. I was comfortable in my own way. In my old master's way. Rather, I was really really uncomfortable there. His hatred to sin, made me His enemy too. Yet. He loved me. I don't understand. Though I was far away behind the enemy line, He saw me. For He was my Creator. For He was my Husband. But I turned my face away. In hatred. Someone had to pay the ransom to set me free. Even when I was unwilling. Grace, prompted Him to do it Himself. Unending love; He gave Himself over for my sake. To be tortured, to be 'punished', to be killed. So that I could be saved. I saw that far beyond in that line. Insignificant as I am, did He do it with me in His mind? He looked at me with passion. He told my name - 'for you I endure' and ...

Be a man.

1 Cor:16:13 Be on the alert, stand firm in faith; act like men; be strong. Watch out. Look out. Be on the alert. Stand firm in faith. That is what men do. Be strong. Stay strong. Dwindling in your trust in God is what children do. Act like the man you are. Be a man. Stay strong on your faith. No matter what happens, hold fast to your God. That is mature faith. Do not let go to fear or anxiety. Be strong. Faith is trusting God, the Father despite what the circumstances look like. Knowing fully that He is in control. That He will take care and thats enough. He is enough. Image credit; https://www.freepik.com/premium-photo/hand-holding-fist-symbol-determination_139829368.htm

Formed

Until Christ be formed in you. Gal:4:19 That was the sole desire of Paul regarding the Galatians. That Christ be formed in them. Infact that is God's desire in your life. That Christ be formed in you completely. Formed fully in you. That you be transformed into the likeness of Christ Jesus. To purge out all evil. To purge out all that is unChristlike.   But are you willing? Image courtesy: https://regehrlein.wordpress.com/2021/07/05/god-is-the-potter-and-we-are-the-clay/

Able

Eph:3:20 Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine according to His power that is at work within us. If this is true, then why do I live a life full of concerns and fears about the uncertainties of the future. Of the things which are out of my control. He has got it under control, because He has created it. Then worry is disrespectful. Because He is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine according to His power. Pour out your fears to the Solid Rock. Vocalize it. He will take care for sure, for He cares. Trust Him. Firmly believe that He is enough. Lean not on your own understanding. Find your security in your Father who is able. 'Able' covers everything. Able is enough. Able is security. Able is satisfying to the core. He is able, more than able, to accomplish what concerns me today He is able, more than able, to handle anything that comes me way, He is able, more than able, to do much more than I could ever dream, He...

Holy Spirit

Having believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession. Eph:1:13-14 The process starts with belief. Once you believe, you are marked ( infact you were marked - past tense. That in itself is another writing). Marked with a seal ie. the promised Holy Spirit. Seal is something which denotes ownership or belonging. The Lord's possession are we (v:14). His precious property. He has put His seal of affirmation upon us, so that the devil cannot lay claim. The presence of the Holy Spirit in your life is the evidence , the guarantee that you belong to Him. Is the Holy Spirit active in your life? Are you receptive and responsive to the nudgings of the third person of Trinity? The Holy Spirit of God. How serious am I about the presence of this Holy One in my life? As a friend. As an Advocate. Who influences my conscience, who shows the correct path. Who ...
