A heart chanting
Words in sound
A soul pining
Breathe’s rebirthing
It is all love , a belonging

[@monahasan3169]

In His glorification , in His love I come broken frail even ashamed of these feelings, yet my heart weakens in vulnerability before a God of omnipresent love and mercy, I knowing that if I am broken it’s ok I am returning to the beloved , He is there available to be continuously a healing mercy to me!

[@monahasan3169]

My heart whispers hymns to your heart,
Come let’s praise in His name
Name for name never to depart
Come let’s celebrate His calling
Name for Name despair not in falling
Come let’s converse in His Names
Divine love awaits

Do you know the reflection in the water,
It’s love,
it’s the first droplet from the breath of love,
It’s you in the beginning of the days of life from above
