A WHIRLING DANCE!

-

Tuesday 4th March 2025, 1635hrs...
"Then He broke through and transformed all my wailing
into a whirling dance of ecstatic praise!
He has torn the veil and lifted from me
the sad heaviness of mourning.
He wrapped me in the glory-garments of gladness.
How could I be silent when it’s time to praise You?
Now my heart sings out, bursting with joy –
a bliss inside that keeps me singing,
‘I can never thank You enough!’’’

Just finished a praise and dance session in my room right now. How my heart overflows with joy! How my soul leaps with gladness! I don’t know how You do it Lord -  how You make beauty from ashes; rekindle my heart to love You and joy in You like a little child; infuse me with divine strength, lift the weight of sadness, and fill me with such unspeakable joy! I don’t know how You do it Lord... but my heart is grateful. I’m so in awe of You Jesus.

Let me live that I may praise You. Let me live that I may worship You. Let me live that I may love and serve You. Let me live that I may glorify You. Lord my God, I will praise You forever!!

This is the day the Lord has made;
I will rejoice and be glad in it.

How You have filled me with joy!
How You have caused me to be filled with delight!
Thank You Lord!!

‘’He hath turned the shadow of death into the morning.’’

Well… I don’t know how I’m doing or what I’m feeling today. Some kind of sadness is threatening to envelope me. I really need You to help me not get downcast. 

You have been good. You have been faithful. 
Shall I now doubt You? 
Shall I doubt Your tender mercies?

By no means!

I will give thanks to You, LORD,
for Your faithful love endures forever!
In the multitude of my anxieties within me,
Your comforts delight my soul.

All creation declares Your glory -
they all proclaim Your majesty!

The hills and the mountains -
see how they leap before Your presence!

The heavens declare Your faithfulness,
the skies proclaim the work of Your hands.

Fruit trees and all cedars,
the wild beasts and all cattle,
even the small creatures and flying birds!

All Your works praise You, LORD - 
they tell of the glory of Your kingdom
and speak of Your might.

Shall I then keep silent?
Shall I conceal Your love and Your faithfulness?
How could I?!

Your love is better than life,
therefore my lips will praise You.

I will proclaim Your saving acts in the great assembly;
I will speak of Your faithfulness and Your saving help.

I will use my life for paper 
and write You a joyous song my King!

Lord You love me,
Surely You love me!

It would be unwise to wrap up our study on Song of Songs without dealing with the elephant in the room, don't you think? It's literally been staring at us all this while. Issues to do with romance in relationships fill our screens in all our social media platforms and the drama is quite entertaining honestly. Just the other day on Threads, boyfriends were hating on their girlfriends and a whole saga ensued. People are obsessed about finding that right partner, nowadays referred to as Mverified, Msafaricom, Mpermanent, Mpoa, Mheaven and the like; so much so that they build their entire lives around a vain imagination. I'm only a passive observer though ~ I really don't feel the need of getting into all that at this point in my life.  I'm no expert in this field (I'm still nineteen so...🙂), but I get genuinely concerned when I see how this obsession makes people do things they would otherwise not do and start treading on extremes they once considered abominations...

Let Him kiss me...

I know it all sounds crazy and this blog's title probably caught you off guard. I was surprised myself to find out that that was actually among the first statements in that book.  In all honesty you might never have imagined that you could get anything tangible from t...

Imprisoned, yet not without Hope...

-
Image
Hope... The general feeling that some  desire will be  fulfilled? A desire of some good? Expectancy? Trustful longing? Chance  of the desired end? Waiting under the  possibility of fulfilment? What exactly is it?  Whatever it is we can all agree that there's a measure of undeniable uncertainty that comes with the thought of it. This had me wondering... If Hope really is as highly esteemed as Faith and Love as quoted by Paul in 1 Corinthians 13:13, shouldn't it at least provide one with a surety of the 'when', 'how', 'where', 'why' and many more like these?  You realize that Faith on the other hand is described as the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence  of things not seen. There's a level of assurance that comes with it because of God's spoken Word. It's why Abraham was so bold as to " believe against all hope, and so became the father of many nations"( Romans 4:18). God literally took him outside, told him...

No Greater Love (Valentine's Special ♥️✝️)

Valentine's Special ♥️✝️ ♥️ John 15:13RSV Greater love has no man than this,  that a man lay down his life for his friends. ♥️ I wasn't sure I was going to blog about this today. Truthfully speaking I was battling the what-ifs in my mind. It most certainly is supposed to be lovers' day...so why would I turn it all upside down and bring to the table the subject of God's Love? Wouldn't I be over spiritualizing everything? Shouldn't I at least, if need be, try and go with the flow? At least this once? Or at least try and blog about good godly relationships that even God would delight Himself in? I sat on that quite a while and asked the Holy Spirit for His guidance. The answer? Well, here I am! Once again, very ready to share with you the many lessons I've learnt recently and quite a while back on the precious subject of God's Love. Believe you me I'm definitely not the best person to tell you anything about relationships, unless in theory, because I...

Believe, You say?

                                     🪷🪷🪷 Doubt. Uncertainty. Confusion. Anxiety. Panic. Fright. Faintheartedness. Dismay. Apprehension. Worry. A troubled heart... Truth is there's probably a dozen more names this thing could take up on any one occasion. It plagues the hearts and souls of many countless times, and the worst part is the numbness it leaves. No one wants to feel dead while they're still living. If you do, then maybe you've been so accustomed to that numbness that you don't know any other way to live. That you can actually feel something...anything. Just not nothing.  One such once lively and joyful child was trapped in this same cage. She had grown cold. The light in her eyes sparkled much less. Her smile, much narrower. Her countenance, much paler. The questions? Much much more. She was lonely, but a tiny part of her still had faith that there was Someone right there with...

Secure in Love 1️⃣

Well well well🙃 (not me showing up shamelessly like I didn't just lose my consistency for a month🥲. But seriously I promise I'll do better next time😊). It's finally take two on Songs of Songs and boy, am I so excited for you to read this! It may not be what you were expecting 👀 but believe me you need to hear this. I need it too. As long as you find yourself stumbling here and there and doing things that don't please God (which I believe is a struggle every authentic Christian is bound to face), you need to know that it doesn't disqualify your genuine love for Him, and His for you. Let's get started! ♥️ Song 7:10 RSV I am my beloved’s, and his desire is for me. ♥️ (We'll go on a detour for this particular blog then get back to the relevance of the story of these two lovers in Song of Songs as it pertains to being secure in Love in the next blog. For reasons we all know studying this book in isolation will only make matters more complicated ~ ...

A call to "Daily Dwell" 🙂

-
🌸 Colossians 3:16 NIV Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly   as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom,  and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.  🌸 A while ago, the following question was asked at church:  What is dwelling richly in you?   Is it:  A. The Word,  or  B. The things of the world? We've made it look like we can have both options, yet the two cannot " live " together. The Word unapologetically repels what is of this world (Ref. 1John 1:15-17 )...so what makes us think that we can have a little bit of both? It's meant to be either one or the other, and that's just what it is 🤧. Christ calls us to " Abide "   in Him, and He in us. This means that we're to literally live in Him, and to allow His person (the Word) to live in us. Realize that most of what we do is pay random visits either routinely or every time need arises. For some, we do so early in the morning be...
