“Now I may be wrong, but to my knowledge the bible never tells us God has “the one” out there for you like so many christians will tell you. It is as if we think God will violate a persons free will just so he can conclude some divine game of matchmaking. No, I think God isnt necessarily concerned with “who” you love as much as he is on “how” you love them. Whatever girl or guy you marry… They become “the one” because you chose them. God does not say to us “Hey you! Marry this person and like it!” He says “who do you want to make the one? Let me teach you how to love them in a holy and passionate way.” You are in control of your own love life, dont be tugged around by the nose by prophetic words, quivers in your livers or the anticipation of a divine finger pointing you to the right girl. Choose wisely, but more importantly, love wisely.”

There’s never been a situation,

Never a moment gone by

Where god’s hand wasn’t open

Where there wasn’t any light

His presence is surrounding,

His grace; enough for all

A great tide of magnitude

His perfect gentle call

He whispers to the hundreds

Angels erupt in song

His hands are wide open

His heart flows with perfect love

Here he makes me whole

I found hope in him now,

I found that I was clean,

The king of kings put me aside

To be in love with him

Everything of me now,

Is humbled to his hand

My voice is all for worship

His word is my command

I just love him dearly,

I love him with my all

He’s a wonderful saviour

He’s the saviour to all

Have you ever thought about how heaven literally CHEERS and SHOUTS with JOY when you find Jesus..?

Sometimes I just think about how stoked they all are up there, dancing, clapping and shouting because they are just that pumped you’re in the Kingdom!

“Why are you kneeling, my son?
I put strength in that back-bone
Knowing that you would fall
But I promise, you will never taste defeat
You are whole, you are clean, you are free
Get up, rise from your knees!’
We can no longer linger in the shadows of our shame and brokenness”

And sometimes I know just how I feel

When I feel nothing, I feel it all

The passion in my hands, it burns like fire,

Pressure is so heavy here, where nothing’s lifted high

I broke my own heart; I knew I could

My head is just too full, now nothing is good

Deep is the heart of love; hope is so hard to keep

Fold together all my thoughts, write them out

Write them bold, raise them high

Find a broken heart, mend it with peace

Transform doubt with love

Love that seeps like ink

Paint it thick; enough to hold

Miss nothing at all

Really I guess it all just comes down to timing. Everyone has their good and their bad days, sometimes she’s the most wonderful human, sometimes he’s your favourite in the whole world. There seems to be this epic search, for the greatest, most wonderful guy, he has to be funny, caring and brilliant, the most precious girl, her heart must be sold out for God, her face perfect without even trying, her every word as encouraging as the last.

I heard someone wise say, it just comes down to who you don’t see your future without.

Sure, there’s a million girls, there’s a million boys.. But eventually, none of that will matter, eventually it comes together, the pretty boys find the pretty girls, people move & families change and grow, but getting there requires courage. You’ve really got one chance to make it right, you can dodge, you can pretend, it can seem right, but it’s not.. He’ll let you down, she’ll break your heart, but the right future is waiting.. God still gets his way. That niggling feeling, that one that says, “don’t do that”, or “this isn’t right”.. Those feelings you should listen to. Cease to justify your actions, live blameless, make things simple. Pick the one you can’t see your future without, the one who will do the things you want to do, alongside, the one who’ll lead a family, the girl who will do more than “be in love”, she’ll do life well with you, she’ll speak life over you and your family, and he will protect her above everything. Together they change the world, focus your heart and mind on everything that speaks life and live free. Seek first the kingdom.. Then seek it together.

I’ve written this before, but I’m reliving it.
