Come Away With Me to a Quiet Place

By -
When you are tired, when you're lost
When friends fall away and are gone
When no one seems to understand
When you find that you stand alone

When you long for someone to hear
Someone who feels, someone who cares
Someone who sees and understands
Someone who knows, someone who shares

Then Jesus comes and gently says
Come away with Me to a quiet place
Leave all behind! Come away, My child
Come away with Me to a quiet place

I will refresh, I will revive
Your hopes, your strength, even your life
Fresh water for you to drink and clean
all filth and sins and wounds and stains

Eternal Bread that does restore
Your body and mind, your heart and soul
I'll give you rest and give you peace
I'll take your burden, put you at ease

We'll sit together and talk and pray
You'll find in Me the One who cares
The One who sees and understands
The One who loves you, the One who shares

I come to you and gently say
Come away with Me to a quiet place
Leave all behind! Come away, My child
Come away with Me to a quiet place

Break Down - Build Up

By -

When Father God spoke to me of further breaking up in my life, I looked up and said, ‘Father, breaking up is painful. But I know that I’m in Your hands and You will not let me scatter, so here I am. And I’m scared. Even though after the last break up, what I found was much more valuable than what I had.’ Yes, breaking is painful, especially when you’re at the receiving end. Even if you know that after breaking, what the Lord would build would be much more magnificent – the glory of the latter house will be greater than the former – still it needs a stout and willing heart to step forward and say – I’m here. I said ‘I’m here’ not because I’m a lion-heart, but because I’m encouraged after the last break-down encounter with God. I know it is only glory that He’ll lead me to. Being with Jesus is all about breaking down and building up. Continuously, consciously or unconsciously, but relentlessly. Call it pruning if you’re a gardener at heart; I’m more of an architecture- or interior desig

God-sent calamity? No, tender mercy drops

By -

There are times when, one way or another, the enemy of our soul enters our life and starts his work of constant destruction. Our perception of his presence may not occur till he has successfully erected the tools of destruction in our lives - small lies, small wrong decisions showing patterns of priority changes, bad habits, unhealthy company, laziness showing an unwillingness to leave comfort zone to take up the cross, impatience, deceit, pride, etc.,- are small unwise beginnings that lead to that great chasm of death. The LORD sends us protection and His wingspan is all-sufficient for keeping us covered. However, with little coaxing of the enemy - that luring, tempting voice in Eden still follows us - we give up the blessing of His protection and follow our own vile heart and desires. Yet, the merciful LORD does not lead an angry army against us. He sees that we are only dust. It is our own vile choices that open our doors to the enemy's stealthy trojan horse which works against
