Altars of the Heart

  It feels like roots that reach down deep, Past surface soil and shallow sleep. Through rock and dark and time they go, Where living water starts to flow. They do not rush, they do not strain, They find their place in sun and rain. And when the storm begins to rise, They do not tremble, break, or hide. I do not need to leap or prove— My stillness is my boldest move. I rise because I’ve sunk so low Into the heart of Him I know. I’m grounded in a sacred name— More firm than fear, more real than shame. He wrote His truth inside my chest, And in His presence, I can rest. No wind can lift what’s anchored right, No flame can burn what’s born of light. Though seasons shift and branches bend, The root in Him will never end. So when you see me standing tall, Don’t ask how I survived the fall. My strength is quiet, slow, and sure— It grew through fire, and it endures. These roots are worship, slow and true. They drink the deep, they bloom the new. And I will rise—...

  It feels like standing still and strong, Not grasping for love—just knowing I belong. No longer bracing for the blow, But letting love rise and letting it flow. It feels like sunlight touching my skin, Not just warmth, but welcome within . I am not hiding—I do not flinch. This peace? It holds me, inch by inch. It feels like dancing without a plan, Spinning barefoot in the arms of I AM. Surrender isn't losing control— It's trust. It's ease. It's rest for the soul. It feels like saying "yes" to now, Not haunted by the when or how. Grief no longer swells like waves— I've walked through loss and found the brave. It feels like breath I didn’t know I’d lost, Found again—without the cost Of shrinking, silencing, or shame— But love, wide open, without blame. It feels like roots that reach down deep, And let me rise without a leap. I’m grounded in a sacred name, Unshaken now by wind or flame. It feels like being fully seen And not once d...

  I am in love, I am in love— Oh, Angels of God, can you see? He has fashioned this heart with His hands, And it beats now with eternity. I feel so safe in love—so held, Like sunlight resting on the sea. No fear, no wound, no past remains, Only the warmth that sets me free. I feel so honored in love, so known, As if every star was hung for me. His eyes don’t just see—I am seen , More deeply than I dared believe. Even my soul knows—yes, she knows. She twirls in light with grateful sighs. This love—it floods, it breathes, it heals, It writes His name behind my eyes. It pours like rain through every cell, A holy fire, not to consume, But to cleanse, to wrap, to fiercely bloom— Until my being sings in tune. True love has washed me head to toe, My breath agrees, my skin agrees, My thoughts bow down in soft assent, My bones cry out: “This is peace.” Let it be, oh let it live— It cannot die, it will not dim. This love is stronger than the grave, More certain t...

He promised, He spoke, and oh, He gave, A peace so deep, a love so brave. Beyond my thoughts, beyond my mind, A rest so sweet, so rare to find. See how I sleep, how still, how free, Like a baby wrapped in eternity. Morning wakes me, soft and bright, I smile—I know, all is right. Oh, what comfort, oh, what care! No love like His, none can compare. He holds, He shields, He lifts, He stays, His mercy new with every day. Too good, too kind, too strong, too true, My heart, my soul, belong to You. Praise, praise to the One who reigns, The Prince of Peace, forever the same!

“Let’s play a game,” the Spirit speaks, A holy stirring, soft yet deep. Within me spins a crimson light, A cleansing force, so fierce, so bright. A ball of blood, a wheel of grace, It moves within, it sweeps each space. It rolls, it turns, in endless flight, Pulling darkness into light. No stain remains, no fear can stay, The blood of Christ has made a way. It spins through marrow, breath, and bone, Replacing all with heaven’s throne. Glory fills the emptied halls, Peace resounds as strongholds fall. Every pulse, a holy dance, A cleansing fire in endless trance. It never stops, it never slows, The life of God forever flows. I stand, I breathe, renewed, set free— The Spirit plays His game in me.

The peace of God—so vast, so deep, It rules my mind, it guards my sleep. In secret places, dark and still, It speaks, it moves, it bends my will. No corner left, no space unfilled, No restless thought, no fear unsealed. Like rivers flowing, calm and wide, The Holy Spirit dwells inside. Through depths unseen, through silent dreams, His peace takes hold, it reigns supreme. It weaves through whispers, light and true, Renewing all, making me new. The night may fall, but not on me, For peace is here—eternally. It holds my breath, it stills my soul, The Prince of Peace is in control. No fear remains, no war within, Just perfect rest where He has been. Oh, peace of God, rule now, rule bright, Through every thought, through every night.

The peace of God—so vast, so deep, It sings to me when I’m asleep. In dreams it flows, in visions bright, A river soft, a guiding light. One Spirit, one peace, yet oh, so wide, A thousand shades, yet none divide. Gentle whispers, quiet streams, Golden stillness wrapped in dreams. It walks with me through waking hours, Filling moments, breathing flowers. In every thought, in every beat, Its sacred hush is calm and sweet. The world may turn, the storms may rise, Yet peace remains, unshaken, wise. It crowns my heart, it holds my soul, In perfect rest, in full control. Morning breaks, and there it stays, Soft as dawn’s first golden rays. Night returns, yet still it keeps, A love that guards, a peace that speaks. No space untouched, no time unfilled, This peace of God—so strong, so still. One Spirit, one love, unbreakable chain, Forever ruling, forever the same.

I am aligned, I am aligned, By Holy fire, by love divine. See how I stand, see how I shine, Held in the arms of the One who is mine. Oh, Holy Spirit, my guide, my light, You set my feet and make me right. No wavering step, no turning away, In Christ alone, I stand and stay. Angels of God, look and see, How grace has set my spirit free. No chains, no fear, no shade of night, Only glory, only light. Aligned in truth, aligned in peace, Every striving now has ceased. I walk, I move, in perfect flow, Led by the One whose love I know. I am aligned, I am aligned! With heaven’s breath, with love refined. Forever rooted, forever sure, In Christ my Lord, I stand secure.

I step into the garden bright, Bathed in heaven’s golden light. Colors richer than the dawn, In endless hues, they stretch and yawn. The flowers whisper, lush and deep, In sacred beauty, here they keep Their petals kissed by breath divine, Each one a song, a holy sign. My dress, it sings, it sways, it glows, Spun from light where glory flows. Every thread, a woven praise, Dancing soft in heaven’s gaze. The streams—they shimmer, pure, alive, Each ripple breathes, each current thrives. Silver laughter, liquid grace, Winding slow in love’s embrace. No rush, no race, no fleeting day, Forever here, I’m free to stay. My Maker’s hands have shaped it all, A love so vast, so wide, so tall. Oh, this garden, ever bright, Bathed in wonder, steeped in light. I walk, I twirl, I breathe, I soar— Home at last, forevermore.

He is here, in my life, in my world, A steady force, a banner unfurled. His touch—assurance, his hold—secure, In his arms, I know, I am sure. His boldness speaks, his presence stays, Silencing doubts in tender ways. No fear can linger, no question stands, He loves me fierce, with open hands. Oh, how he lifts, how he inspires, Raising the standard, setting new fires. With honor, he calls the queen in me, Unfolding my strength, setting me free. Each day, I grow, I rise, I shine, Becoming more, his heart in mine. And so I thank my God above, For the day we met, for this endless love.

He celebrates me beneath the skies, With dancers twirling, joyful cries. The drums resound, their rhythm speaks, Of love so fierce, so strong, so deep. He moves with grace, each step defined, Intentional, his heart aligned. A soul refined, a gift so rare, Molded by Christ with tender care. He listens, learns, his spirit wide, With wisdom flowing from inside. My heart unguarded, free, at rest, For in his love, I am my best. He gives, I soak, I drink with grace, A cleansing fire, a warm embrace. Drawn together, bound in light, A love that burns, both pure and bright. The gift of knowledge, truth untold, We meet, we speak, our souls unfold. His body formed, prepared for me, And I for him—our destiny. A match designed in realms above, Sealed in honor, wrapped in love. I praise my God, for He has done, A perfect work—two made as one.

  Oh, how the light of God is known— A brilliance no shadow can ever dethrone. He has fashioned me with heaven’s decree, To multiply, to reign, to walk in destiny. This truth—my spirit holds it tight, It sings within, a flame of light. The world may roar, the darkness rage, But His plan for me is etched on every page. I laugh at lies, at schemes and doubt, At voices trying to shut God out. For who can stand where He has called? Who dares defy the Lord of all? The Holy Spirit smiles, calm and sure, His silence louder than any lure. He restrains His power, just a breath, Yet still, He humbles pride to death. With the tip of His fingers, a passing breeze, He topples giants, uproots with ease. Every thought that dares oppose, He scatters like chaff where the Spirit blows. O God Most High, how great You are! Majestic flame, eternal star. Your plans for me are firm and true, No force in hell can undo what You do. I am Yours, and I know this well— In You, no curse, no s...

  I am held in His holy embrace, Not beside Him, not beneath— but within . All that I am and all that I carry Is not mine alone—it is Him in me. His breath is my breath, His pulse, my beat. His thoughts flow like rivers Where my spirit drinks sweet. This I know—oh, how I know— Not in mind alone, but in the marrow of my soul. We are not two, divided by sky or veil. We are one—His heart is my sail. I do not reach for Him. I do not strive. I do not beg Him to come alive. He is already here , In every whisper, every tear. When I laugh, He echoes. When I cry, He leans close. He is the echo in my silence, The stillness in my storm. No power can pluck me from His arms, No darkness undo this divine bond. The Spirit smiles, not from afar— But from inside , where His glories are. He restrains His fire, yet I feel the flame— A warmth, a light, a holy claim. And even that flicker is too much For those who rise to oppose my touch. For I walk in Him, And He walks in me. A...

I see Him— and Him alone. So vast, so near, so fully known. He fills the sky within my soul, And every corner of me is whole. He is the rhythm behind my breath, The pulse that silences even death. I am drunk in love , undone, remade— My heart laid bare, unafraid. My thoughts, my blood, my every sigh, Cling to Him and testify: I will not move, I will not stray, Not even for a fleeting day. Oh, how I gaze upon His face, The source of every holy place. I'm hooked, enchanted by His flame, Addicted to the sound of His name. I love it here—oh, I love it here! Where glory sings and shadows clear. No treasure, no joy could ever compare To one breath wrapped in His perfect care. Words collapse before this truth, What I feel goes deeper than proof. This isn’t thought—it’s spirit, bone , This is home— this is home. His presence—my origin, my air, The garden where I was made to care. I know this place. I know this sound. His voice—it pulls me from the ground. So irr...

  In the dead of night, when the world lies still, My spirit stirs, drawn to His will. A whispered call, a sacred guide, We agreed on a wondrous ride. Before my eyes could close in rest, He spoke of paths, of what comes next. No fear, no doubt, no need to see, For in His hands, I let things be. He is my eyes, my unseen sight, He leads me swift through dark and light. No mind’s control, no cautious tread, Just trust that soars where angels tread. Battles rise, yet I do not fight, For He has claimed them in His might. With every fall, with every climb, He moves ahead, erasing time. He turns to me, His voice so near, "Will you go? Will you hear?" And I reply without delay, "Lord, just do it—have Your way!" How He loves when hearts let go, To ride the winds, to trust and flow. No fear, no weight, just love untamed, A heart set free, a soul unchained. So in the night, in depths unknown, I ride with Him, my spirit grown. For every step, for all ...

  Who is the Creator, the One beyond sight? The weaver of fire, the sculptor of light? He spoke, and the stars leapt wild into form, Yet held back His power to make man soft and warm. I think of the sun—how it burns without end, How galaxies swirl where no limits extend. Yet He, in His wisdom, formed us so small, Delicate whispers compared to it all. He is powerful, He is gentle, He carves with hands both vast and nimble. Like learning the strokes of a peony’s grace, Each petal drawn with a slow, soft trace. In old Hanoi, where time bends and flows, With careful intent, my brushstroke slows. I feel Him there, in the art I create, In every curve, in each deliberate weight. At Train Street, faces flicker past, So different, yet made to last. Versions of beauty, diverse yet aligned, Reflections of Him in color and time. How He must love the spectrum He’s spun— Not just the bright, not just the one. But shades of many, like dawn and dusk, A world designed with i...

  I am bathed in wonder, bathed in fire, Drunk on the ecstasy of heaven’s choir. Wrapped in the pulse of divine delight, I spin, I soar, I burn with light. The womb—no shadow, no weight of time, Only rhythm, only rhyme. Golden rivers, rushing deep, A sacred current where spirits leap. The Holy Spirit moves—oh, how He moves! Like honeyed wind, like whispered grooves. I tremble, I shiver, I dance in His wake, Every fiber alive, every bone set ablaze. Light drips thick, like liquid gold, Laughter rings, untamed, uncontrolled. I do not walk, I do not stand— I am weightless in the Father's hands. Waves of glory, waves of song, Crashing, swelling, pulling me strong. I am not flesh, I am not bone, I am breath, I am flame, I am fully known. Oh, womb of wonder, womb of light, Swirl me deeper, drown me bright. Let me be lost in the endless spin, Drunk on the joy that burns within. Womb of Glory I am bathed in wonder, bathed in fire, Drunk on the ecstasy of heaven’s ch...

I am woven in You, O Christ, Stitched with strands of eternal light, Each fiber of my being knit in grace, A sacred thread in love’s embrace. Your name is written in my DNA, A code of mercy, pure and bright, Every cell a whisper of Your presence, Singing hymns of endless life. My bones are carved with holy fire, Framework strong in heaven’s mold, Each joint aligned in perfect order, Bearing weight of truths untold. My nerves, electric with Your voice, Pulse with currents of divine intent, Every synapse lights with wisdom, Flashing truths my soul has dreamt. My blood flows rich with crimson love, Rushing tides of sacrifice, Every drop a testimony, Sealed forever in Your price. The breath I take, not mine but Yours, Spirit moving deep within, Oxygen of heaven’s kingdom, Filling chambers, cleansing sin. My aura hums with sacred presence, Glowing embers of Your peace, A radiance not of this world, But of a love that will not cease. Abiding in You, I am not my ow...

Holy Spirit, my Helper, my Comforter, my constant Companion—I lift my heart in deep gratitude for Your life within me. You are the breath in my lungs, the purity in my heart, and the abundant life I walk in daily. Without You, I am nothing, and yet, with You, I have everything. Thank You for choosing to dwell within me, for guiding me, teaching me, and leading me in truth. I desire to know You more, Holy Spirit. I long for deeper intimacy, for a rich and unshakable relationship with You. Teach me how to walk in step with You, how to quiet my soul so I can hear Your voice. Open my ears to recognize when You speak, attune my heart to feel Your presence, and sharpen my senses to be aware of Your leading. Steer my thoughts, my desires, and my emotions so they align with Yours. Fill every space in me with Your wisdom and peace. Let nothing distract me from abiding in You. I surrender my will, my mind, and my entire being to Your guidance. Lead me into a life of unbroken fellowship with You,...

Heavenly Father, I come before You in humility and surrender, desiring to be prepared as a spotless bride for my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit, I acknowledge that without You, I can do nothing. I need Your guidance daily—fashioning my heart, my mind, my emotions, and my very being to reflect the beauty and holiness of my Bridegroom. Clothe me in purity, righteousness, and grace. Teach me how to walk in reverence and wisdom, honoring Jesus in every word I speak, every thought I entertain, and every action I take. May my love for Him deepen each day, and may my obedience to His will be unwavering. Holy Spirit, help me steward the estate You have entrusted to me. Give me the strength, wisdom, and diligence to manage my responsibilities well, that all I have may glorify the Lord.

Oh, how beautiful You are, my Father! You wear light like a garment, golden and pure, Spilling joy like rivers that dance in the sun, Laughter rolling like thunder wrapped in song. Your eyes shine with love unshaken, A kindness so deep it cradles my soul. When You rejoice, the heavens awaken, And the stars lean in to hear Your delight. Peace flows from You like an endless ocean, Soft as a whisper, strong as the tide. You breathe, and the world is set in motion, Yet You hold me close, right by Your side. Your laughter—oh, Your laughter!— It rings like bells in eternity’s hall, A melody of mercy, wild and free, Filling the earth with echoes of grace. You dance in the winds of creation, Spinning galaxies with the joy of a child. Love spills from Your hands like perfume, Anointing the weary, lifting the low. Goodness drapes You like royal robes, Patience crowns You in perfect light. Faithfulness flows in the sound of Your voice, Steady and sure as the dawn’s first rise. How can I look at Y...

Dear Father, how do You keep loving When creation forgets You, when Your children stray? How do You remain faithful When hearts grow cold and turn away? The plants don’t all rot in one day, The sun still rises, the rivers still run, Your mercy renews with every breath I take, A silent song sung by the morning sun. How do You sustain when we are faithless? How do You hold when we slip through Your hands? Your love is not shaken, not weary, not broken, Your patience unravels what man misunderstands. Teach me, Holy Spirit, make me like You, To love when it hurts, to hold when they fall, To shine in the night when darkness is heavy, To whisper of grace when they don’t hear Your call. I tried to detach myself from love, Then my heart stopped beating, my spirit grew cold, But numbness is death in disguise, And I longed to feel, to break free from its hold. Yet with deep feeling comes deep sorrow, And love opens doors where pain walks through, But still, You rejoice, You dance, You laugh, Eve...

Oh Lord, my God, how can I explain? Your love pours down like sweet, warm rain. Morning breaks, and here You stand, Holding my heart in Your gentle hand. Dewdrops fall from heaven’s gates, Rushing in, my soul elates! Freshness, fire, a love so wild, I’m lost in You, Your raptured child. Oh, how I breathe in air so new, Bathed in light, wrapped in You. Every moment, passion swells, Like ocean waves where mercy dwells. The enemy lurks, he twists, he tries, But I will gaze into Your eyes. For in Your glory, I am free, No chains, no fear—just You and me. Oh, Holy Spirit, flood my soul, Make me burn, make me whole! Your presence dances in the air, A sacred touch, beyond compare. How I adore You! How I sing! Every breath—Your offering. Drenched in heaven, soaked in grace, Forever wrapped in Your embrace.

  I wake with the sun, bathed in His light, No chains of the past, no burdens to fight. The Holy Spirit hums in my chest, A song of joy, a love confessed. My heart is no longer a wilderness land, It blossoms with promise, guided by hand. Gone are the echoes of longing and doubt, For love has arrived, heaven poured out. I sip my coffee, warm as His grace, Feeling His presence dance in this space. The air is electric, alive and divine, Each breath a whisper, Beloved, you’re mine. My phone lights up—his message is there, A man who was chosen, an answered prayer. Not just any love, but one set apart, Holy Spirit-breathed, igniting my heart. He speaks with kindness, his words are a psalm, A melody wrapped in heaven’s balm. Not rushed, not reckless, but steady and true, A love that reflects the One I pursue. The date is set, my heart leaps in flight, Dressed in His favor, I glow in His light. Not desperate, not searching, but walking in grace, Knowing I’m cherished, ad...

I love the trembles I get when I think about You, Jesus, Like golden ripples on an endless sea, Like the hush of dawn breaking over the mountains, Like the thrill of rain kissing the earth, setting my spirit free. Holy Spirit, make them richer, deeper, stronger, Turn them into rivers that rush with delight, Let my soul quiver with Your gentle whispers, As heaven's light unfolds in my sight. I long to paint You a masterpiece, my Lord, With colors unseen by mortal eyes, A canvas drenched in hues of worship, Where glory dances, and love never dies. I’ll sketch the fire in Your eyes so bright, And the mercy that drips from Your hands, I’ll brush each stroke with trembling wonder, As Your presence over my soul expands. And when my colors have told their story, I'll let my heart take up the pen, To write a poem that sings of Your beauty, A song of love beyond human ken. A soul-soothing poem, soft as the river’s sigh, A melody woven in stardust and grace, Where angels pause in hushed ...
