Habben Ah

I didn't intend to post this, but two words came to me simultaneously as I finished writing it. I've never heard or read the first, or known them in any way together, so I looked them both up. After doing so, I understood that there was something worthy here. I sometimes write just to organize my thoughts - to build an expression or offering from my heart to the Lord without posting them. The definitions of those two words are in the closing... 


I've discovered a love that far exceeds the emission of humanity and I dwell in the soothing waters of its source. To succumb to the draw of any other would be the tragedy of settling for poverty, for I dwell in the intended Living Water that brings new life continually.

Lord, You draw the people to yourself by the essence of Your perfect character and person. It's by Your hand that they are rescued and by the price of Your own suffering that they are brought to redemption. No one is as selfless or as generous as You. You redeem and renew the unworthy. 

You contend with the hearts of those You have called and it's by the conviction of your Holy Spirit that the truth is brought to bear on the object of Your desire. You confronted me and my soul awakened to the truth when I responded in sincerity and earnest.

My name is now also called Israel, for I have contended with You and with my own soul and won adoption - being grafted into Your own household and people by Your planned design. My love now responds to Yours and my life is made complete in Your presence. 

My loyalty lies willingly surrendered at your feet and my heart is forever Yours to claim. I am what You call me. I will be what You will me to be. I have what You say that I have and all other thoughts perish in the face of Your truth. You are my Lord, my God and my friend. I seek to serve no other master.

How I got here is not by my design, but by Yours when You formed me and breathed life into my eternal spirit. You gave me life. I give it back as a willing captive of Your love and endlessly amazing character. Who I declare that I am now is simply and gratefully Yours.

Lord, I desire that all that You call would awaken to find the Author Of Love in their midst and rise to contend with their Creator. To be allowed to place hold on The God Of Heaven and be caught in His grip is for the repentant heart to find completion in submission to the truth and your preordained plan. 

Lord, I desire that none should perish that might know You fully, that none should be lost who would be willing to bring You pleasure by submitting to Your rescue and find themselves made forever complete in your presence. This is my loving desire for Your own heart Lord, that the reward for all that You've done and all that You are would be so great and bless You profoundly, eternally.

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...
