He Lavishes His Love On Us
If You Know About God; You Know About His Love.
We are children of God. His love is lavished on us. The people who do not know they are a child of God, or about his love, does not know about who he is.
“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.”~ 1 John 3:1 NIV

Never Too Late
A life wasted
Chasing after sin
Pride swallowed me in
To places I never thought
I would visit
I had places to go
Money to make
Success winked at me
I could not ignore the tug
on my heart
Success and worldly riches
more important
Then leaving a legacy of a
changed life
I guess the price was too
high to pay
The dreams Papa had for me
I chucked out by the door
Together with everyone
who spoke life over me
Blinded to my short comings
I prefer to never confront
my fears
Walked with many scars
Hid behind different masks
Like a puppet on a string
I danced to the enemy’s lies
Mesmerised by sin
I made it my habitation
Chased empty dreams
Instead of eliminating my fears
For it was all about me and
my selfish needs
I have places to go
I have money to chase
I couldn’t care less of the
trail of a life wasted
I left behind
Please don’t ask me to pause
for a while
To take a look at the ashes
I leave behind
There’s no time to deal with
the pain of my past
The world is waiting
I don’t care about the hearts
I trample on
There was a time,
not too long ago
Though it seems so distant now
When Papa’s dreams was
still my dreams
His plans and purposes
important to Me
Till the enemy came in and
he painted his pictures
Of what a significant life
looks like
Looking through his eyes
I fell; hook, line and sinker
for his lies
I embraced it,
I made it mine
The pictures of wealth, success and sin, blew my mind
Oh, but he never showed me
the end
The costly price I had to pay
I sold my soul
I believed all his lies
He studied me for years
He knew all my voids
He knew my fears
The pain from the past
I never dealt with
He lured me in and I followed
him blindly
He pressed all the right buttons
The pain I chose to ignore
He used as bait to explore
My dreams turned into ashes
It slipped through my fingers
As I drifted further and further away from His presence
The One who loves me through all my wondering
Is still waiting for me
to die to self
Papa’s love for me,
still as vast as the ocean
He will never let go of me
I was the reason He hung
on a cross
It’s never to late
To return to His heart.
Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

Restoration Stories – Amanda Eksteen
I longed for someone or something
to change my life
I had this emptiness and loneliness
inside of me
I had a deep hunger inside..
not knowing for what…
I continued having this desire for something
to fill the emptiness
I searched all over for that missing link
I read selfhelp books
I tried to be a better person
I did all the rights things
according to the standard of men
I even attented church on a regular base
But still I was empty on the inside…
Until one day I cried out to one name…
That one sweet name was JESUS
The name above all names
That name saved me…
That name healed me…
That name delivered me…
That name wrote my name
in the palms of His hands
He taught me to love…
He taught me to forgive…
He taught me to have faith…
He taught me to trust Him no matter how hard,
No matter under which circumstances
No matter how I “felt”
He taught me to hear His voice
He showed me my gifts and showcased them
He revealed Himself to me as a loving Father
He told me He loves me
He told me I am His precious daughter
He told me that He will never leave me
nor forsake me.
Today I have peace, love, joy and victory.
Jesus changed my life!
I HAVE FOUND WHAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR!

HOW ABBA FATHER CHANGED MY LIFE

Love Yourself Well
I haven’t always loved myself well.
I didn’t like myself much due to some past decisions, choices or circumstances so I didn’t always take care of myself as I should either.
It’s not prideful or arrogant to love yourself.
God’s Word In Mark 12:31 says “Love your neighbor as yourself” – because God wants us to love ourselves well too.
We can’t love others well unless we love ourselves well first.
So, in case you too have somehow confused your “who with your do”, and felt less than worthy of love by what you have done;
I am here to let you know that there is not a choice or decision you have made or anything you have done to make God love you any less – so it’s time you start to love yourself well.

“I will always love you;”
~Jeremiah 31:3
If you keep My commands, you will remain in My love.
~John 15:10
As far as the eastern horizon is from the west, so He removes the guilt of our rebellious actions from us.

All of a sudden life as she knew it was out by the door
Her heart torn to pieces
Sobs racing through her body
From a place deep within
agony screams
Why Father does it have to be
this way?
One attack after the other
Seems like she is on the radar
of the enemy daily
So many lessons to learn!
So many battles to fight!
She didn’t know, Papa was training her how to war
At that moment all she could see was her pain
Strength from deep within arose
Pain won’t rule her life
She knows who her anchor is
The enemy will never win
In the background she can hear the lyrics of ‘I remember’
She softly joins in ‘I remember You have always been faithful to me…’
It’s like she has been injected with a supernatural dose of faith
Worship does have this effect
on her
She dances before her King
Till joy fills her being and she can see clearly again
Faith means movement
To see Papa’s promises and dreams come to life
She has battles to win
Demons to eliminate
One foot in front of the other
She will hold fast and not
believe the enemies lies
Warriors retaliate they don’t retreat
Born in times of adversity
They do not focus on challenges
They focus on growth and expanding the Kingdom of God
Taking back daily what the enemy stole
Losing not an option
They were born to win
Processes necessary to bring them in line with the heart
of the King
No demon in hell will stop her
She will be a battle axe and weapon of war in the hands of her King
She was known to be weak
Always in the background
Papa used adversity and trials to train her
He knew the strength she unknowingly possessed
She was called to be His warrior bride
Her and many others were handpicked by the Father
Adversity and trials didn’t break her
She discovered her calling while bleeding
Now she is ready to be used, wherever the need may be
She won’t allow those that are
still bound
To be ruined, destroyed
She will take up her sword
Stand in the gap
Decree and declare
Do what Papa expects of her
Shackles will fall and bondages will break
When she dances on the sound of Papa’s heart beating through her
Challenges in whatever direction
Father will use her
She embraced her journey
Not moved by other’s opinions of her
He is her peace in the midst of turmoil
He trained her when to fight and when to be still
Her confidence in His love for her made her fearless and bold
Distracted by no one
She focuses on the assignment’s
of her King
She learned to hold on to hope in the midst of trials
Her faith has grown immensely
Many have given up along the way
That won’t be her legacy
When one day she stands in the presence of her King
She wants to hear “Good and faithful daughter, you have done well!”
