Unflawed


I surrender to Your love Lord,
not out of effort but out of Trust
......Forever.

I asked God I can't imagine how one person can be so precious to You.
I couldn't imagine why He could love us the way He did.  
And He responded, " because I made You, You are mine and precious to me, because of wickedness the love of many has grown cold but in my Kingdom there is no wickedness found."  

“Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24:12‬ ‭NIV‬‬
http://bible.com/111/mat.24.12.niv

And I thought of how that kind of love void of wickedness must be, I imagined how heavens atmosphere must be, and I thought of how I had struggled loving because I had a flawed corrupted version of love as reference for me to love and be loved.
Then the scripture came to mind, " “Jesus replied: 
“ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.””
‭‭I further realized in this that how we loved ourselves was truly flawed, we were secretly and unknowingly still manifesting a broken unsure image of love created by our former master (satan) whose "love" was complete hatred disguised and no matter how much we tried to earn that kind of "love" we were led to believe we were imperfect, unprecious  and unloveable. (Hells scheme I know, to corrupt heavens power imbedded in pure love)
But our true master and Abba, God, had made us precious already, unconditionally loved and like Adam trying to reach for something He already was, ("you will be like God" the serpent said yet "Adam you were already like God, no further action needed to make this happen, the curse of self effort...") here we are, ("if I can only ... God will surely love me") don't you and I realize WE ARE ALREADY LOVED.  
 
The Lord (My King, and heavens darling😍) said to me recently "do you realize that what you are trying to attain by your own effort would require you to be born like Me by virgin birth, live sinless from birth and dye on a cross for you, only then could tyou could attain by your effort what I have ALREADY willingly attained for you πŸ’ why worry? I once asked you if you didn't believe the cross was enough, I have already given you what you are fighting for...."

““Behold, I have created the blacksmith Who blows the coals in the fire, Who brings forth an instrument for his work; And I have created the spoiler to destroy. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD.”

‭‭Say it in your deepest, in your secret place of conviction, loud, for all of heaven, I don't have to do what heaven has already accomplished for me, and in doing the will of God, I don't have to go it without Him, like Esther ask the Holy Ghost to teach you our Father's heart, and like Moses refuse to go a breath or step without Him.  
And learn His kind of love, for in this you will learn just how loved you are and how far love would go for you (the remnant), His love will teach you how to love Him and your neighbor, in knowing how loved you are, you will learn to love you and to love true too. And in this love is a trust that will make success manifest in your life as an important part of His kingdom) that you may go out into all the world for His glory, a faithful witness of God's unfailing love...

#MyLoveJourney
Can you imagine, He deemed us worth dying forπŸ˜πŸ˜’πŸ™ŒπŸΏπŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ™ŒπŸΎπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ½πŸ™ŒπŸΌπŸ’’

And after I wrote this a scripture came to mind as to just how important and yet half ignored love must be in our journey, in our Fathers kingdom.

“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13:1-13‬ ‭NIV‬‬
http://bible.com/111/1co.13.1-13.niv

When completeness comes the greatest that will remain is love. Our God who is love is moved by love. How great love must be in its purest form, and now I have a curiosity to find why the enemy moved so diligently to corrupt it. And to learn it in its purest form, 

Lately at church we say "I love you with the love of the Lord" May we push to learn what that truly entails and means.



 ( have you ever noticed how we depended on carnal relationships to tell us we were actually love able, how devastating when such relationships ended reinforcing the idea that we aren't,     but it was never a carnal relationships place to fix what the spiritual world had damaged, but for God to fix you, we are all unlearning a flawed "love" and learning a perfect one)

My living God, Elohim.



“On a lofty and high mountain You have set your bed; Even there you went up To offer sacrifice. Also behind the doors and their posts You have set up your remembrance; For you have uncovered yourself to those other than Me, And have gone up to them; You have enlarged your bed And made a covenant with them; You have loved their bed, Where you saw their nudity. You went to the king with ointment, And increased your perfumes; You sent your messengers far off, And even descended to Sheol. You are wearied in the length of your way; Yet you did not say, ‘There is no hope.’ You have found the life of your hand; Therefore you were not grieved. “And of whom have you been afraid, or feared, That you have lied And not remembered Me, Nor taken it to your heart? Is it not because I have held My peace from of old That you do not fear Me? I will declare your righteousness And your works, For they will not profit you. When you cry out, Let your collection of idols deliver you. But the wind will carry them all away, A breath will take them. But he who puts his trust in Me shall possess the land, And shall inherit My holy mountain.” And one shall say, “Heap it up! Heap it up! Prepare the way, Take the stumbling block out of the way of My people.” For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, With him who has a contrite and humble spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of the contrite ones. For I will not contend forever, Nor will I always be angry; For the spirit would fail before Me, And the souls which I have made. For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry and struck him; I hid and was angry, And he went on backsliding in the way of his heart. I have seen his ways, and will heal him; I will also lead him, And restore comforts to him And to his mourners. “I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace to him who is far off and to him who is near,” Says the LORD, “And I will heal him.” But the wicked are like the troubled sea, When it cannot rest, Whose waters cast up mire and dirt. “ There is no peace,” Says my God, “for the wicked.””
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭57:7-21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
http://bible.com/114/isa.57.7-21.nkjv

Creating idols in the heart is one terrible sin that those who call themselves by Gods name have overlooked, if you have something you can identify as you biggest fear you have an idol in your heart...
 (that thing which you fear greater than you believe God can overcome for you and let's face it, short of the masks we display and acts we so well perform in church, some of our souls know very well that our true lifestyles can't possibly warrant the full protection of God.
The troubles we faced, it's not that He isn't able, it's that our standards of faith were broken vessels unable to hold the presence of God, and this condition is caused by sin alive and well in our lives. With that said, it is not grace but hell to continue in sin of any kind diligently believing that Sunday confession is your key to heaven, it's a lie from the pit of hell, Elohim was not making a suggestion when He said "your sins have been forgiven, go forth and sin no more," yes our salvation is not self effort but the incredible love of God. But life goes on past the cross, a life where He has commanded emphatically that we should live righteous and blameless with His help, and come to Him and before Him not for carnal ambitions but for Kingdom purpose, selfless, broken and surrendered, true and humble, a sacrificial surrender instead an opportunistic one.)

Excuses is the people called by God's biggest downfall, His seed is corrupted by a mighty lie that their circumstances are greater than God and need carnal intervention instigated by themselves because due to sin on their behalf and a devil who took advantage of us living on unrighteousness territory as lukewarm Christians we came to believe that the power of heaven cannot be powerful in our situation.
We are who we are not because of God not being able, oh my word He is able, our problem wasn't Him, our problem was not remembering He is principled.  We have been over preached to about how He blesses in abundance without an even bigger focus on His prerequisites, His principles and His purpose.  By virtue of carnal desires we have missed it all together treating heaven like a magic wand to spit out our every desire at every whim and daring to sulk when we don't get our way with an ALMIGHTY GOD, goodness what on earth gave us the idea we are in charge and He must obey us. He isn't moved by man, He is God.  Preachers forgot to tell us who He is when He gets angry and what coming to Him is really about, here are some scriptures to consider...

““If I were hungry, I would not tell you; For the world is Mine, and all its fullness. Will I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats? Offer to God thanksgiving, And pay your vows to the Most High. Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.” But to the wicked God says: “What right have you to declare My statutes, Or take My covenant in your mouth, Seeing you hate instruction And cast My words behind you?  When you saw a thief, you consented with him, And have been a partaker with adulterers. You give your mouth to evil, And your tongue frames deceit. You sit and speak against your brother; You slander your own mother’s son. These things you have done, and I kept silent; You thought that I was altogether like you; But I will rebuke you, And set them in order before your eyes. “Now consider this, you who forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, And there be none to deliver: Whoever offers praise glorifies Me; And to him who orders his conduct aright I will show the salvation of God.””
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭50:12-23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
http://bible.com/114/psa.50.12-23.nkjv

What right have you to declare My statutes, Or take My covenant in your mouth, Seeing you hate instruction And cast My words behind you? ( just a thought, I only know Christians to declare His statutes so logic tells me here He isn't talking to people who don't know His word and to people that don't consider they are His, if we quote scripture in our situation to get us out of trouble or to be "blessed going in, blessed coming out, pressed down shaken together and running over blessing" quotes  yet we despise/ "hate instruction" As in only live His statutes till it infringes on your appetite, finances and comfort, live Christianity for show but in reality are more wicked than most sinners we judge, Living with an acknowledged continuation in sin because we say "this is the twenty first century, not bible times, things are different now and we have different needs " that seem like a good enough reason to continue on hells path and yet trespass on heavens blessings, He calls such of us wicked.)And of whom have you been afraid, or feared, That you have lied And not remembered Me, Nor taken it to your heart? Is it not because I have held My peace from of old That you do not fear Me? Isaiah 57

These things you have done, and I kept silent; You thought that I was altogether like you; But I will rebuke you, And set them in order before your eyes. “Now consider this, you who forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, And there be none to deliver:  (It is truly a fearful thing to fall into the wrath of God)

“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭2:15-17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
http://bible.com/114/1jn.2.15-17.nkjv

I know many feel they are in situations that force one to continue in sin, but no baby daddy, poverty or past pain is enough excuse to call off Gods Godly commands to you, your only bridge out of there is agreeing within yourself to lose it all for Him no matter what and thereafter you will meet on righteous grounds The God we know is able, Provider, Healer, Protector...and changer.  I had children out of wedlock with the most incredible excuses to do so then and live in sin after, so hear it from me, you can come right, you can make the sacrifice to be ripped from the ways of this world and to be found blameless worshipping before Him.  Today I have peace, today I live pure while single, today I learnt not to steal seemingly meaningless things for the survival of my children and today I know to own up to the fact that my today is not a result of my childhood abuse or no mother but rather a result of my own bad choices inspite of what I faced and my today and tomorrow will be molded by what I choose from this very second on.  God can do the impossible, I, former drug addicts, former prostitutes, former murderers, former cliptomaniacs and burglars, former many things can attest to the fact that if you come to a sacrificial faith in Him, He can and will do whatever it takes on His part to bring you to restoration, transformation, completion and purpose.  God righteously worshipped is able.

““No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:24-33‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
http://bible.com/114/mat.6.24-33.nkjv



“Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandmentsFor this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭5:1-4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
http://bible.com/114/1jn.5.1-4.nkjv

“Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, And your justice as the noonday.
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:3-6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

SACRIFICE

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.””
‭‭John‬ ‭16:33‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
http://bible.com/114/jhn.16.33.nkjv

“The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles. The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the LORD delivers him out of them all.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭34:16-19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
http://bible.com/114/psa.34.16-19.nkjv

““If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.

So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭14:26-27, 32-33‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

"Dear friends

True faith sacrifices everything for God. 
...And there is no other standard allowed throughout mankind other than the standard set by the only living, all powerful GOD.  
Today I am grateful for the true men of God (like my spiritual papa, Apostle Clive Watsmann) that stood before us and undid the illusions, spoke an offensive gospel, who were steadfast against the sin in our lives and gave us a sobering saving truthful introduction to our God.
And I am eternally grateful to my merciful God that did not allow me to continue on my path to hell but who though loathsome of sin, walked into my former hells path to grab me for Himself, a God who patiently continues to change me into the likeness of His son, THIS IS LOVE!
Thank you for the cross Lord, and for Your guiding word, we exalt thee, we enthrone the, we lift you up.  You are real, powerful and surely alive!

You are ELOHIM, The only living God and You reign victorious"

‭‭II Chronicles‬ ‭7:14-15‬ ‭NKJV

if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My faceand turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place.”

Whoever offers praise glorifies Me; 
And to him who orders his conduct aright I will show the salvation of God!

For the female heart, from Jesus

I never imagined i would be able to live as i do now.  Oh how i longed for a close walk with Dad but sin, my bad choices, condemnation, lack of knowledge and pain kept me bound.  
struggled to be set free, and had no truth to guide me out and now my Maker and Father, my Saviour and Lover, My sweet Holy Spirit orchestrated a moment that left the enemy open mouthed  and empty handed as i was gripped from the dwelling place of  death by a Mercy greater than it all.  

All the men that i had sought that left me broken, all the people i had trusted too much, ALL the people that i myself had caused pain, He made a way out, He healed my shattered life, He restored joy unspeakable.  
He trained me and continues to train me in His righteousness. 
We were adulterous and unfaithful, fornicating laying in other mens beds while He longed for us to walk pure before Him, choosing money, sin and many things that were good at the time over Him who longed for us and breaking endless promises to change if He came through for us, and come through for us He did and remaining in sin we did,  and when it destroyed us can you imagine He was there to get us out?? When we cried endless unseen tears in our bedrooms by night and in our bathrooms by day, guess who stayed by our side through the night and then made a way out. 
He IS faithful, loving and Absolutely incredible 
HE GOT ME OUT, He washed me, ardorned me
indeed and crowned me, can you believe He would do these things??????  I can so relate to the adulterous woman they wanted to stone and yet our King stood in the way at her point of death, every tongue that rose against her in condemnation fell for her sake 
I can relate to the women that washed Jesus' feet with her hair and tears, i envy and salute her, oh for the chance to express the depth of my gratitude to Jesus.  

How about the woman at the well, and the one with an issue of blood?  Oh What He has done to our feminine hearts, it is no wonder when the other disciples hid, his female disciple snuck out,  she followed the lover of her soul, her king to the grave to minister to him in "death" at risk of her own life. And oh how she must have felt, the first to meet Him alive!
I can't and won't help it, im deeply in love and so shall I stay because He stayed no matter what I put Him through and patiently he waited for us to love Him back.  I DO. 
To all the feminine hearts reading this, I've never met a man so loving.  If you have made that wise decision to give Him your heart completely salute.  

To those that have been born again for years and are still compromising living a Lukewarm Christianity, continuing in sin like I was, sacrifice is your answer, sacrifice everything For Him, it's the best thing that could ever happen to you, the abuse of grace is more a journey to death and destruction than the journey of sin because at least the third group will realize they need help, the lukewarm walk is blinded to their need to change drastically as they believe grace is their ticket out, Grace was never meant to be a lifestyle, righteousness was, go forth and sin no more.

To those ladies who haven't accepted Christ, maybe you have given up on yourself, maybe you feel that with the damage done no good can come, hear me when I say satan is a big fat liar.  God did worked with me when I finally just took the decision to give it all and trust that He can fix my mess.  He did fix it.  

So give it all! 
No disease, amounts of abortions, numbers of men you slept with, people you have manipulated, unkind acts, dishonesty, adulteries, drugs, abuses, prostitution, rejection, disobedience,  thefts, bondage, slavery, Listen there is Nothing that Jesus isn't willing to forgive and there is nowhere Jesus isn't willing to go for you, so if you are in the last two categories caught up with no way out, run baby run to Jesus and surrender your whole life to Him and watch what He will do with you! 
   

Read Isaiah 54 and let the king of mercy work on You, may the grace of God protect the seed of life planted in your heart today. 

If you have taken this decision and you need to talk, you can find 
faithful servants of Christ waiting to share the truth we found   message in:

With All My Heart


I've let it all go, with all my heart my heart has arrived at a place where it will never turn back from.  I don't care how many mountains I've climbed and I don't care how many battles I've faced,  I've never felt stronger and I'm not going back.  No, no one has any idea as to whats about to happen cause you see when a heart like mine reaches this peak oh God! Yes oh God thank you for allowing this chest to beat stronger than ever. I'm here and stronger,  see doubt is a memory, there ain't nothing I wont achieve and with the strength of a mother warrior im going to fight. Face to Face I'm going to take on this life, yes I've been gone for too long but you see my kids know it as they lay their heads on my chest that something has changed drastically in the rhythm of my heart.  My heart rhythm is beating a beat of love, My heart rhythm is beating a beat of hope, it is beating a beat of strength and peace and the sheer testimony of whats to come. My heart rhythm is beating the whole, pure, undiluted rhythm of life.



...And so in honor of the God who created me, adored me, raised me, heard me, answered me and stayed by me. In honor of my parents that had me and loved me. in honor of my blood family, in honor of my chosen family(friends), in honor of angels who were a part of my story for a small while and in honor of an amazing man who has looked out for me almost my whole life I promise that...

With All My Heart, I will laugh heartily even in my hardest moments, I will believe even faced with the most hopeless moments, I will be strong through what would be my weakest moments and oh God knows my wildest dreams my deepest hopes, my strongest loves I AM GOING TO LIVE. You best believe it!

"I just chose not to be afraid anymore, I chose to live!
and it is in this truth that my courage stays"

GRATEFUL

I see You in my daughters eyes as she cuddles close to my heart as she stares up at me.
I see You in a destitute strangers tear filled eyes as they gratefully stare at a kindness they didn't expect to receive in a world they thought had forgotten them.
I see u in the image of one bended on their knees face to the ground weeping in grateful disbelief for a mercy bigger than every sin they'd ever commited, bigger than all the pain they'd ever caused, bigger that every choice they'd made to give up on their wildest dreams.
I see u in the pure undiluted love as a mommy and daddy stare at their 1minute old miracle, a brand new child, life in perfect tinyness.
I see You in love, I see You in joy, I see You in hope, I see You in strength, I see You in faith, I see You in peace, I see You in mercy, undeserved yet kind forgiveness, I see You in many a will to go on and be amazing, I see you in laughter.
I see you and my heart smiles ☻
I adore You, I call you Jesus
I see You my all ♥


You see there come moments in life where one is so clustered by circumstances, one becomes inundated by memories and overwhelmed at the sheer thoughts of their hopes not comin true. 
In these moments all that matters is you Lord, in these moments i look to You where I see You, there is power in Your presence and Your name because You are Jesus, and over all things You Reign!
We reign
I love You and simply could never live without You
Thank You Jesus♥
Precious Jesus♥

Matthew 25:31-46

New International Version (NIV)

The Sheep and the Goats

31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’



John 13:34-35

New International Version (NIV)
34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

Dear God

As I start the greatest journey of my life I look to You for ever.  I shed clothing of the past and embrace who You meant me to be, the me I always knew. I  know my life will never be the same as I embrace the truth of who You created in me. In a world filled with possibilities and no fear I look to You with the elegance and humbleness of a queen and the knowledge of a god.  I will never know how I was so favored to be named one of your own and I'm so grateful that my life you chose. Many lessons you have taught me along the way that prepared me for these days, my heart was stretched as you taught me to be...I worship thee.  May I look down on no man, may my heart never know arrogance, may my lips be kind and powerful and my heart large and beautiful.  Beautiful Lord, the truth of my journey and destiny, they will discover theirs Lord as you speak through me,  words do not know my adoration as I know that I am...I am because You are.  Thank You for every soul I've ever met.  Thank You for every mercy, thank you for every lesson, every today, every tomorrow.  Thank you for life.  I am your servant, use me.

A woman's prayer

Lord,
 Hear my prayer for this world
People are so lost in their own "need" to survive they've forgotten how love looks 
Everyday I know people try to do right and got lost in frustration cos they got it so wrong
Lord I know some have given up figuring that failure is their portion and tears are their way
And I know that broken hearts have become familiar ground
and I know so many are lonely though surrounded by many
Lord children cry cos somehow this world devalued them.
and elders cry cos this world has forgotten them

And so Lord here is a womans cry,
Give us wisdom so forgiveness is obvious
Give us fearlessness that we may fight not for ourselves only but for each other
Give us courage to stand, stand above our failures and fear, that we become answers to the prayers we pray
Give us hearts full of love, that our eyes open to what really matters ...And that we DO something about it!
Open our arms to embrace all in need of your love
Give us grateful hearts for everything, everything You've ever done for us
and memories that remember your best for us in our worst moments

Lord as women and custodians of your love, teach us ABBA how to revive hope and love.
and may our prayers become their selfless realities.
Jesus we love You and in Your name we pray..Amen.
