"Bapa’s Love is more than we can understand..."

Bapa’s LOVE  

Bapa’s Love who can keep it from us

Bapa’s Love who can separate us

Bapa’s Love is like a powerful waterfall that washes us clean

Bapa’s Love is like a beautiful sunset that is wonderful to behold; that can’t help but to be seen

Bapa’s Love keeps us warm when we feel cold

Bapa’s Love makes us strong when we are weak

Bapa’s Love clothes us when we are naked in our disgrace

Bapa’s Love embraces us when we are sad and too ashamed to look him in the face

Because Bapa’s Love is more than we can understand

Because Bapa’s Love is passed what we can comprehend

Because Bapa’s Love is so wonderful we sometimes misunderstand

Because Bapa’s Love for us is so great we can still stand and say I love you too

"BAPA is best defined by the heart of tenderness..."

"If I am graced to understand with my head and to accept with my heart that the essence of the divine nature is compassion, then BAPA is best defined by the heart of tenderness..."

Daily He maintains this tenderness with a costly effort. 


It shines over you and also desires to dwell refreshingly deep within you.

Daily this heart of tenderness aches for relationship with you. 


It draws you towards Himself and beckons intimacy. 


His tender heart for you, so eager to engage with you - this is the heart of His heart! 


Unending love and care for you is His core.

His heart for you remains trustworthy and constant.


He thinks far more highly of you, than you might do. 


He will speak far more generously and gently to you than others have or will do. 


His unshakable desire is to call you and not crush you - to comfort you and not kick you.

In His arms you can recline and in His tenderness you can reside!

"BAPA... Please untie the knots..."

BAPA... Please untie the knots
that are in my mind,
my heart and my life.


BAPA... Remove the have nots,
the can nots and the do nots
that I have in my mind.

BAPA... Erase the will nots,
may nots,
might nots that may find
a home in my heart.

BAPA... Release me from the could nots,
would nots and
should nots that obstruct my life.

And most of all, BAPA...
I ask that you remove from my mind,
my heart and my life all of the 'am nots'
that I have allowed to hold me back,
especially the thought
that I am not good enough...

“BAPA is ever with you – don’t you believe?”

 

I stand with BAPA

ALONE

He makes His presence known

Some how making me feel confident, content and secure

BAPA cares for me, He loves me – He knows me

ALONE

I owe Him the honor of respecting His ajna

But sometimes the offers of comfort are sooo tempting

But then I stand with BAPA

ALONE

He reminds me with Him it’s not that hard

He causes me to remember how I have made it so far

Standing with BAPA

ALONE

He allows me to discover the wonders of His love

He assures me that the love I will receive is exactly what I want

“You’re not standing”

ALONE

All others often said to me

“BAPA is ever with you – don’t you believe?”

Yet as I stand with BAPA

ALONE

Sure I am that He knows my heart

More than any He knows in my mind there is no separating us

He knows my thoughts

When I stand with BAPA

ALONE

I am sure He cares

So sure that the love He gives can not be compared

Because I stand with BAPA

ALONE

the excitement of all that He has taught to me

At times causes me to want only Him impatiently

ALONE

Rising again

Confident, content and secure

But standing with BAPA

ALONE

I know that no one in this world could ever love me more

"BAPA’s love is more than we can understand..."

BAPA's love who can keep it from us

"BAPA... I am so weary and lost..."

Oh the pain when I am absent from You BAPA...
I board a vehicle of doubt and self will and unforgiveness
and travel to a desert where there is no water
to a void where there is no Light
to a land where there is no Life

Rededication and rejuvenation and realization
often accompany me
And so I am thankful to you BAPA...for the journey

But BAPA... I am so weary and lost without your love and your joy
I am sustained because I know when I turn my footsteps home, towards you, once more
You will be waiting for me
For you have promised me BAPA... you will never leave me


(BAPA helps me find my glasses
How much more will He help me find his way)
