Father, I Am Your Child


Dear Papa God,

There are some things that I need to say to you. I know that you know them, but I need for you to hear them from me...

Father, I am like a child fearful and afraid of that which moves in the darkness of this life to bring me harm until I hear your voice and feel the touch of your hand. It's then that I know that I am not alone. Only then do I feel safe and comforted for my Father's near.

My heart yearns for yours Father. I am left inconsolable, incomplete, and lacking without your presence. I am not to be satisfied by anything but your presence with me for nothing else can fill the void in my heart.

I hunger for the meat of your wisdom and the sweetness of your mercy. I am helpless to feed myself my Lord. But I am fed by your love and your grace and you are faithful to sustain me.

My spirit thirsts in the desert of this barren world and I would wither away to death. But when I think I may perish, you shower me with the living waters of your Holy Spirit to bring me life. And I am suddenly awash in your spirit, joyfully splashing like the child that I am in your presence.

When my flesh is weak and I feel that I can walk no further, you cradle me in your patient love and carry me over the mountains and across the miles until I can walk again

When the weight of this world would crush me and my heart is heavy, you bear the weight of my burden and pick me up to stand again. You give strength to my bones and muscle to my flesh. With your help I can do anything you ask.

When I crave the touch of a hand in mine, it's your hand that I need to hold. The hand of my Father holding mine as we walk together comforts me and reminds me that there is nothing that I can fear and that I am loved beyond measure.

It's your face my Father that I long to see. The countenance of your Spirit brings me peace and makes me whole. There is nothing else that can give me the feeling of safety, joy, love or completeness that I am blessed with as your child.

For all of these things my Father, my Papa God, I am awed, grateful and humbled in your presence. You have my heart forever.

Sincerely,

Your Child

What If...

"For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.  And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. "  Hebrews 4:12-13 (NKJ) I'm not one who appreciates the stoking of fear for the sake of it or unnecessarily. There are enough things in this life to keep people concerned and even constantly fearful if they subscribe to them. I would like though, to take a moment to encourage my brothers and sisters in Christ and any others who will take a little time to read this and give it some serious consideration because the subject has real   potential  consequences and there's still time to address any issues that we find upon reflection... If you were made aware that   sometime in the next hour  your life on earth was ...

Judging, Judgment And Judge...

"I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark. I will not judge those who hear me but don’t obey me, for I have come to save the world and not to judge it. But all who reject me and my message will be judged on the day of judgment by the truth I have spoken. I don’t speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to say it. And I know his commands lead to eternal life; so I say whatever the Father tells me to say.” John 12:46-50 (NLT) A lot is said these days about "judging", but in the midst of that popular societal buzz and the assertive comments that come with that conversation, I have a question: If God has called something sin and we simply agree with what He's said,... are we judging or just repeating and declaring the truth? When He walked the earth, Jesus spoke about judging and He pointed out the danger of our judging...  “Do not judge other...

An Observance And Observing True Reality...

As Easter approaches, I begin once again considering how our God sees our observance of an occasion as I always do and also what He might truly desire of us in observance above any of our trivial, man inspired traditions . What I come away with in firm conviction is the understanding that the most trivial of my sins, the least of my crimes against God, had the power to forever damn me in His judgment of me and send me into unending torment. And that knowing this one thing in truth and as reality, is key to my correct posture before God in honor of His purpose in the event. That key being the horror of knowing that the price of my very least sin was the shedding of my Christ Jesus' blood and His horrible suffering, because the reality of this brings the deep rending of my heart in awe and gratitude and it makes possible my true joy at the relief of my sentence because of what He has done. I believe this is a part of what God would desire from us in observance of Christ's death a...
