Discharge me from her friendship

 She is still in my thoughts lingering optimistically in my head.
What shall I do? Pretense is a hopeless purpose. 
If beauty had a face, her graceful face will always be beauty's choice. 
I cannot disclose such passionate reflection in conversation,
She will discharge me from her friendship with eternal silence. 
But I do not mourn for I am happily married
Taken by an arresting eye
That her jail is a cathedral to me.

help me crucify every selfish way and desire

 Dear Lord, help me crucify every selfish way and desire. Help me be the light who reflects the light of Christ. O to be selfless and consider others first. Help me walk in step with the Holy spirit. Heal me of all my diseases. In crucifying all of my selfish ways, may I serve without bounds knowing that nothing done for the Lord Jesus is done in vain. O, may I love endlessly and sacrificially given my whole life knowing that in Christ I gain all that there is to gain.

Pray for all

I love to pray and how sweetly did I pray today. In my desires, I prayed for all I wanted and then rested on His will to be done. I prayed for the happiness of many who did not seek my happiness and was thoroughly convinced that they did not pray for me. O, I prayed for their happiness and joy. For God to shine His wonderful face upon them. I prayed for long old friends. I prayed for friends who no longer thought of me, friends whom I have forgotten, people with whom we did not see eye to eye on the important matters, I prayed for those who rejected me with cause and those without cause. I prayed for all of their happiness and my heart felt strangely warm.

Incline your ears to my misery

May I always do the things, yes the better things pertaining to salvation.
The depths of my wickedness is great.
How I mourn at my own miseries.
May I learn to serve my friends and my enemies.
May I love all with that sweet love of God.
O mercy on my miserable head
Shower me with your cleansing hyssop and I shall be clean.
Wash my feet, O Lord
Incline your ears to my misery.
Forgive me for all of my trespass.

If God wills, I will live and do this or that

If God wills I will live and do this or that. 

The decisive willing in all of my doing is God. To use an example, If God wills, I will eat breakfast tomorrow morning before I go to work or not. I want to have breakfast but the decisive willing, in eating my breakfast is God. This is why James rebukes the attitudes of those who presume that their will is sovereign. James says, “Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.” James‬ ‭4:13-16‬ 

Prov 19:21 says “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.” It is the Lord's will that stands and it always does. There is no situation where His sovereign will does not stand because nothing in this world is independent of Him. We all have our being in God. 

It is right to plan and to will because we are called to do this. But all of our plans and willing is always subject to if the Lord wills. This is the Christian way of life. the Christian knows this. It is not luck or chance for those things are nothing, but it all depends on God, so we pray. Let your will be done!

The ones I could never forget

New love has dawned on me.
How Marvelous and inspiring -
We speak long into the night
And sweetened are the days with her.
Yet, old love remains,
The ones I could never forget
That I will carry until eternity ends.

The writings of Sunny Caane

 Dear Sunny

I feel that friendship is not in her heart for me even though she declares it. Her eyes pity me because she is unable to return my love. What would friendship yield to one who is besotted with her? O, a sweet one because I have learnt to desire the good of my enemies and there is no feeling greater than the loving passion for a woman. Even this I can discard and wish for her eternal happiness. I desire that her life is full of bliss and that the good Lord blesses her a hundredfold just like how I have desired for the many before her who have eschewed me. That bitter vice of jealousy is not in me as she is not mine but God who owns her. And God has seen to it in his infinite wisdom that we should not be and yet I pray against this and yet I pray for His will be done and yet pray for her felicity. O, my gift to her is happiness even though I have no part in it. It is happiness that I give her at the cost of my life to obtain.  

Your sweet hopeful friend

Inis
