Freedom to love

The greatest thing we can have in life is perfect love. I present a passionate but simple picture here. Our hearts are bound and heavy with darkness. We have a need for fulfilment. We have broken hearts with shattered dreams and unhealed wounds.

God, look at our hearts, so imperfect and lost. Break the bonds of sin that keep us from you. Break the chains of pride and self-righteousness. Throw open this prison of a closed heart that is afraid to love and be hurt again.

Jesus, enter into our hearts. Make us rich with your presence. Come into our hearts. Live inside here. With you in me, I am strong. I may not have my rosary or crucifix but you are inside, sheltered in my heart, and sheltering me. Your angel guards me.

You said, no scorpion's poison can harm you. You can move mountains. I believe. Be with me when I am with your sheep whom you want back, so in need of you as I am. With you inside, I can go to the world, endure sinful places. Endure the ad's on TV degrading the body to an object of lust. Love my friends even when they talk about pornography, pre-marital sex, share degrading jokes. Because in this world, I need to be strong like my Rock . I need you angels and saints to join me and pray for everyone of the children.



Observe the picture above. See the chain breaking - SPLAT!! Jesus is entering, still grey, still settling in. See the violet streak from above. The richness and greatness of The Great entering. The heart is beginning to glow. Everything around is getting filled with light. This is the power of Christ, the light of the world! See the darkness leaving down below!!

Stairway to Heaven

Reality is just a subset of truth. Life on earth is just a shadow of heaven. Where science ends, faith begins. Faith gives us the wings to go beyond where science can take us. The wisdom of the Almighty goes far beyond the valleys of sin and death. Because Christ conquered both through his Sacrifice. Enjoy this poem and let it take you on the wings of faith. Experience the gentle journey and joy of a blessed heart.

I hold on to a quiet light,
Glistening on my window pane.
We're starving Lord, your people here,
Dying to see your holy way.

I know you set a path for me,
A holy place you have from me.
At night I feel so lonely, Lord,
Because inside, I am not yet there.

To a beautiful chapel Lord, take me,
To a bright, warm place, lead me.
To that door that leads to the stairway,
To the path that leads to you.

Shall I ask what you meant, Lord?
When you showed me that stairway?
The stairway you created in me,
Behind the door to that chapel, Lord.

Your way is most perfect, Jesus,
Your spirit leads me on.
I shall not doubt or worry,
Just trust in you all the way.

We always want to reach the peak,
But you want us to smile all the way,
Even as we are imperfect and hollow,
Your love is all we need, Saviour.
