When?
My heart aches.

He Is

     He is like papa. He is always proud of me. My face is in his wallet and he’s got 4 other pictures of me. He chose to be faithful to me even without giving him my commitment. He stands to it even at the midst of other women surrounding him. He admires me and helps me boost my confidence. He loves me but his affection is not selfish because he has set me free even if I didn’t ask for it. He gives me material things and never lets me go hungry. But above all, he gave me respect, love and treated me like a princess. He left physically but my face is in his heart. He is willing to invest in me. He talked to my leader to clear up his intentions towards me. He couldn’t face my mom because I told him it is not yet time. He supports me in prayer and did it sometimes in tears. In his human love, I saw 1 Corinthians 13:4-7.
   Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)

Prayer

Lord, may You expose the motives of our hearts. May You show us the right path towards You. May You open our blind eyes and callous hearts to the truth of where we might be heading if we go on by ourselves alone – that is being in the life without You. Our hurts doesn’t matter to us anymore in exchange of walking in the way back to You. We know that You love us and we are trusting Your heart even though leaving our unnecessary baggage would cause us to weep. We know that Your plans far exceed ours and so we are submitting to Your will. The revelation of Your will in our lives is priceless. We are submitting to Your love. Let us be captivated by Your faithfulness once again. Let Your love fill us once again. We love You Lord!

My First Love

                They say, “You’ll never forget your first love.”  So I want you to be my first love because you’re the only man I would like to remember for all my life on earth next to God. [But my mom is another issue so let’s leave it like that.  She is one of our counselors who really love us.]  I desire purity so I tenaciously guard my heart and keep it reserved and pure for you alone.  I know that our future may not be perfect.  We may fight and make-up.  We are imperfect and it is actually Jesus who has made us righteous by grace.  My heart belongs to you.  I have long been waiting for you.  I have been fighting for you in my prayers.  I hope that the greatest commandment is made incarnate in you.  I know it is not yet time for us to know that you are for me.  I praise the Lord for preserving me and keeping me guided.  I love you and I am patiently, though painfully, waiting for you. 

Proverbs 22:11 (NLT) Whoever loves a pure heart and gracious speech will have the king as a friend.

I'm not missing you? But I do.

Recapturing My Mind Back In Line

                Refocus your mind to what is before you, Ianne.  There are a lot more out there to reach out.  Keep on planting seeds in the people around you.  In due time, the harvest will be reaped.  I know you would like your harvest to be bountiful so plant generously and boldly in reverence to the Lord.  Remember that your work is not in vain.  The reward is indispensable and highly priced to the point of reaching a state of being priceless.  Investing in people’s lives for God’s kingdom is worth your blood and sweat.  God sees.  He knows.  Live in victory. Let Him be glorified in your life.

Not be put to shame

Because the Sovereign LORD helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore, I have set my face like a stone, determined to do his will. And I know that I will not be put to shame.

Isaiah 50:7 (NLT)
