Deeper Roots

With frustrations, hurts, impatience charging at full speed, it makes me only think of how I have to grow my roots more deeper. If I am rooted and grounded in love, the stormy winds and rough rains can't uproot me. So here I just penned it down in my journal.

DEEPER ROOTS

Let me go deeper,

deep waters to dive in

At the surface level

I am thrown away

by every slight wind

Deeper roots, 

is what I seek

Let me be firm in You.

With wars being waged,

against my soul,

Help me, Lord

to find refuge,

to hold on to You,

to grow my roots,

deeper still,

so I may withstand,

heat and wind.

My leaves won't wither

with slightest rudeness,

when weather is not in favour.

I'll dig deeper,

seeking refuge and solace,

hidden within.

Roots which have

found water and food

when there is famine

those help me grow

rely on you

and on your Word

When our patience runs dry

Be our love

When sorrow seems high

Be our joy

When irritation hits hard

Be our stronghold

Be ours

Let us be Yours

make us one

like Father and You

make us one.

Let me be rooted in You

Deeper still

I may grow

deep roots 

stronger still.

Dusk with saints

Recently, got into clicking photos like any amateur photographer. Making use of phone available with good camera which does help in capturing the moments.

Kids were chatting away… Z pointing towards some cloud formation that he spotted, for we do that some times. They all listen to him so intently at times.

Faith, Hope, Love

Random ruminating thoughts from different days….it may not make any sense to you, it is my journey over many days…

FAITH, HOPE, LOVE

When I look to my hands
for new wisdom
I find none
till you come to my aid

I keep seeking you in things that are unknown

Mundane activities is where I need to find YOU
Sunday I come looking for YOU
but weekdays YOU call me in hidden ways

God's ways for me
still disoriented I feel

my broken spirit needs healing

my hurting heart needs YOUR love

my wounded self seeks YOU

It is through the brokenness

that our sin passes on

mend it, heal it, repair it

Only through Jesus Christ

else we despair

loose hope

become distant

from all relationships

I've sat through the day 

lifting my low soul
sat through the night 

with tears in my eyes
wondering where my heart is
searching my mind for reasons 

still unfound.
Is it my loneliness or emptiness
unloved I feel
only YOU have the answer
to all of my questions
seeking and thirsting to know

what YOU seek of me?

Fighting this battle 

and it seems like I'm loosing

struggle, gasp...

for that one shimmer of hope

I need a fresh breath of YOUR Spirit

I feel like I'm loosing my mind

but the faith within me

reminds, it's not The End!

What Christ did on Cross

HE destroyed the legal bond

made spectacle of the evil one

I am no longer slave

or bonded because of my sin

I am free,

free indeed from clutches of sin

it doesn't hold me 

under any shackle

till I give away my inheritance.

Have I been doing that

in my recent 

frustrating

grumbling 

failures?

Lord I believe

Help my unbelief

Let me remember 

what YOU did for me

I am free 

no longer slave

till I write my inheritance away.

To whom can I go

but to YOU

YOU are my Saviour

YOUR words are truth and life

Let me not despair

or run in circles

Help me to remember

I am YOUR daughter

I am loved

I am Your precious one.

I have to keep my focus

on YOU

walk the narrow path

even though 

it may hurt

but I know 

YOU are there

right here with me.

Help me be present to YOU

the way YOU are to me.

For YOU are my Hope

When You say

WHEN YOU SAY 

Lord, when YOU say 'go',

I will go.

When YOU say 'still',

I will be still.

For YOU alone can see,

the whole picture,

I can only see a part.

YOUR eye beholds the past, present and the future.

YOU lead me,

and I am able to overcome.

When YOU ask me to 'wait',

I can't pursue, without Your presence.

For YOU, O Lord,

are my refuge & salvation!

YOU … O Lord is My Father,

As a daughter I am Yours.
