The prodigal love

The Cost of Discipleship – Luke 14:25-34 25 Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, 26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. 27 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. 28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? 29 Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ 31 Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace.  33 So therefore, any one of you wh...

We so often speak about our dreams and desire to hear from Him what’s his dreams for us. The extent we would go to fulfil our dreams, to toil day and night, to persist and to commit, some because they are following through the societal norms of what’s best, some because they needed to put food on the table, and some who believe in the greater good and the cause of their dreams.

I miss you. Is funny to say that where I know You are omnipresent, but sometimes I just can’t wait to see your face.    I love this season of resting. To just worship you day and night, being in fellowship with this new family I found and knowing more about you through your word and people.    I know how easy it is to be a busy Christian, how easy it is to lose one’s soul in the entanglements found in society, how easy it is for me to forget about your will and desires for the world, and my life. Amid my active life, show me how to not be distracted by the pressures, illusions, and pretences that confront me today so that my life may serve as a gift to those around me. Help me to stop, to listen, to wait, to be still, to heed, and to listen to your voice. Grant me the courage to faithfully surrender to you. Unclutter my heart.   (Be Free for God – Jean Danielou) I have a need of such clearance As the Saviour effected in the temple of Jerusalem A riddance of clut...
