In The Midst
Posted by Paul on 25 Jun 2010 | Tagged as: Coffee Thoughts, Hope, Poetry
In the midst of the pain, in the midst of despair,
in the midst of it all, You are there!
In the midst of failure, in the midst of hopelessness,
You are there!
In the midst of a heart broken, in the midst of life shattered,
You are there!
In the midst of tears flowing, You are all knowing and You are there!!
In the midst of life’s turmoils, when all seems at an end, You are there!
In the midst, when we want to quit, You are there!
When our hearts cry out, no more, please no more, you are there!
In the midst of Light breaking and Life flowing, You are there!
In the midst of restoration, of mending, you are there!
With life flowing, With Hope knowing, You are there!
In the midst of it all, Father, in the midst of it all,
You are there!
In the midst of Your presence, in the midst of your Spirit,
in the midst of who you are, We are there!!
For in Your midst, Our hearts heal, our wounds seal, and life
restored!
In your midst we see that You and You alone are the source of our life,
for in Your midst is where we belong!
For it is in your presence and in your midst that you have called us,
for it is here, in Your midst, that We belong!!

Rekindle!

Rekindle the flame Lord, rekindle the fire within to write. Breathe on the embers within that are slowly going out, breathe the breath of life, rekindle the love, the passion, the heart to write, to share from the depths of those times with you!
Rekindle the words of Life, the words of Hope that you have written, words of faith! Let life flow again from hearts that had become cold, distant and afar. Draw our hearts towards you Father. Let our hearts be pliable, open to your touch, to the Holy Spirit, to be overwhelmed by you.
Let our eyes see afresh, to see with our hearts open, to see what you see, to look upward and not inward, for when our hearts are focused on you, our hearts grow strong. We begin to see, to feel your heartbeat, your love. We become more like you Lord.
Let your life, your love, your passion, flow from us, so other hearts will be rekindled too!
Why?

Do you ever have a time, when that flame you have in your life, seems to be flickering, that one more strong breeze, will extinguish it, given you a sense of life ebbing away, of things coming to a standstill.
The darkness begins to overcome you, your vision begins to dim, growing darker and darker, till there is no light at all.
An utter sense of aloneness begins to overwhelm you and your heart begins to cry out, why Father, why?
Why am I where I am at, where do I go, where do I turn?
What path do I follow?
Where are you Father, where are you?
Our hearts break, We cry out in the midst of darkness, in the midst of despair, we cry out, from deep within a wounded heart, a broken spirit cries out to you.
The inner most part of our being cries out, flees to you and lays hold of you.
Though we cannot see with the natural eyes, the eyes of our spirit are open and hope floods in. Light begins to shine and you breathe life into us. You sustain us, by your spirit, you call deep unto deep, spirit to spirit.
You call,you breathe in new life and say come forth, live in me, live in my presence, live in my word, I am your life.
That which you planted within us, that seed, that hope, that Christ within will come forth.
It is no longer us that lives, but you Lord!
The flame begins to burn brighter, stronger, driving out the darkness, the despair. Hope is brought forth and life, Your life begins to shine forth.
You speak to our hearts, you say come forth, walk and live in the new life I have given you. Share the hope, the peace, the rest that comes only when you dwell in me.
Go forth and shine as lights in a world that seems to grow darker.
It is time for those who are called by my name, to be flames that burn brightly, shining forth and drawing others to the light that is me, the hope, the Christ within.
Till later,
Paul
It’s Time!

It’s Time!a time of pouring out, a time of walking side by side.
A time of knowing you Father, a time of resting in you, a time
of sharing, a time of listening, a time of laughter,
a time of tears, a time of hope.
A time to paint with the pen, a word spoken from your heart,
a time of dwelling in the midst of your presence,
a time of healing.
A time of birthing, of bringing forth, a time to declare that which is not,
as it where, a time to declare the way of the Lord!
A time is coming, is now upon us, drawing us, wooing us,
molding us, creating us anew, a time is upon us to be one,
as they are one!
Now is the time of coming forth, a time of fulfillment,
of treasures hidden
and gifts restored, a time of the outpouring of that
which has been spoken!
A time of life,a time of revelation,
a time of unveiling!
It is Time!!
Till later,
Paul
You

Speak Lord, speak to our hearts and open our ears to hear
Your Voice!
Teach us to know You, truly know You intimately, to be one with
You, in our whole being!
Without you we cannot breathe, without you we are unable to live,
without You, we have no life!
It is in You we find strength to live, it is in You that we hear, it
is in You we are made whole and in You that we are made
complete!
Made to be one with You, for it is in you that we create that which
You have called us to!
You have called us to write, to paint, to speak, to sing, to share, to encourage,
to exhort, to be the canvas, that You paint on!
Speak Lord, the words that create life, that we might rise up in the fullness of time,
of your purposes being fulfilled!
Till later,
Paul
