A Father's Love, Set Ablaze

Happy Father's Day!

Jesus, my heart pours at the rivers of Joy that fill me this day,

as I think of your love.

You have loved me as a daughter of Zion

Bruized and Rejected, but Loved with a love

That has held the flame of

A perfected Hope, everlasting

You have bridged the gap between who I used to be

and the lessons in between...

Father what you see in me

Breathes life to the dry bones...

It restores my soul and pulls me close

Your hands are like warm sun beams upon my shoulder...

And even when life brings my spirit down

As hunchbacked over

Your Love speaks in Boldness, your Heart leaps like a Lion All Knowing..You draw me Father...You draw me closer.

Close to the mane of your fruitful passion

Close to the same comfort my Heart is dipped in Gold Jasper

Far from the voices of doubt and deception

Near to the brothers and sisters of Brokenheartedness

Alongside compassion, The Roar of Protection

How I long to be Ready for the Next move to Happen...

And like a father who cradles his young daughter on his side.

Like a child who clings to the Breasts of milk supply

You are you and I and I, Set Ablaze in 2025

Through the heartbreak, through the Pain that devastates the soul and mind

Through the vain, through the vanity that grips a lover's pride

Through the setbacks, through the dreams that seem to fade away with time.

A timeless Love...

A devoted Father Roams like a Lion to all foes...

Stationed right in front of Hope

Jesus, you reign today and forever the same

A Father worthy of all Praise.

I speak these words of poetic phrase

And yet still not all I can say.

For your love is the heartbeat when there was only the Frame...

And your Grace is the suspension tone of Calvary's redeemed

And your Light is the Gift of Life that was and ever detains

And your devotion is the Father in the Son of man who came...

To love you is to know that I will never be the same, and to hold you is to walk as water in Love's fiery blaze

Intimacy within your marriage... Is it really gone?

Today's topic touches me in a place where I can still feel the sting of relationship disappointments. For in my own marriage have I sought out the answer to this question upon many occasions. Times when I went the entire day not seeing the smiling face of my husband that once captured my heart. Times when eye contact between us was a thing of the past. Those long passionate stares long since gone, faded and drowned away at the sounds of dishes being washed, children yelling and fighting, and the constant talks of disciplinary action. And even at night when all the children were sound asleep; feeling the woes of an exhausted gasp for air...Finally! Yet those words would be short-lived at the sound of our newborn awaking with shrieks and bountiful gestures that indicated...its play time!!! I would begin to do my best to stay up to get at least an hour with my husband. Reading the bible or watching a movie, we would attempt to spend time together, but to no avail. For what we deemed time spent was actually absent of the true intimacy in the beginning of our relationship. It plagued the moments spent engaged in intimacy, holding each other, kissing each other, and soon, the cares of this world began to circumference our once inseparable bond.

Is this you and your significant other? Well I'm here today to ask you the question that you've probably been wondering, and pondering on. The question that often leads to premature divorce. The question that often times causes one to forsake their treasures for a fool's gold. The question in whose answers are often defrauded by abuse, adultery, and even incest. Whose answers are often misunderstood.

I am here to tell you today with full confidence that intimacy between you is never really gone. It is being suppressed by a lack of time spent, dedication, and effort to bring it back to life. It is being thrown aside due to distractions and even the lust of the eyes and the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. It is being snatched away by the cares of this world as Jesus speaks in Mathew in the parable of the sower. I thought my intimacy between my husband was gone until I realized the forces that were behind those sudden interruptions and exhausting days. For there are forces at work in every moment, that try to destroy the intimacy within a marriage. Satan does not want you to be close when what the One true God desires is Godly offspring. (Malachi 2:15).

I encourage you today to examine what has prevented you from that intimate time with your significant other, whether school, work, home duties, kids, a lack of a gentle responses towards each other, lack of grace towards each other's daily common mistakes or even disappointments in the past, and pray to Jesus to remove the forces working within your home to prevent intimacy between you two in Jesus name. Watch God work miracles in your life. The long lasting kisses will come back. Being held in each others arms all night will come back. Pillow talk will come back. You do not need to leave your spouse to experience intimacy. It is right there where it belongs, waiting for you both to care again, for you both to listen to each other more than getting a point across. For you to ask questions about his or her likes again. Find out something you didn't know before. Have faith in Jesus who can do all things and always remember.

When things are going Good...You still Need JESUS

Amen

Why Aren't We Talking About This!?

Deuteronomy 28:68

King James Version

68 And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
