In a moment I seem to deem that I'm in a my own world
until am hit with reality that all ain't that silver and gold.
You came in, caved through the scars deep down,
hurting me more all in the name of making me better.
Now that you are gone, am left in a miserable state,
with open wounds that seem to take long to heal,
What remedy can I use to make this pain go away,
and make me feel better while I make my hay,
coz the sun still shines but not on my way?

I'm only human and am bound to fall,
I’m with heart and soul not dead like a wall,
I'll Keep living on with hauntings from the past,
not that they'll be part of me but I'll make them last,
not that I want them to, but because they seem to complete me.

PRAYER

Oh God Almighty, help me through this journey,

Help me walk in thine truth, help me speak in Wisdom,

and knowledge through your voice.

Lord be with me so that I don’t leave your ways,

For under your arms I’m safe and guarded

Guide me through the choices and decisions that I’ll make in my life.

For your thoughts are greater than my thoughts and your ways higher than my ways.

In your light I desire to shine and in your stature I desire to grow

Oh Lord my God my shield and protector

Protect me from my enemies and the traps they have put before me

May your Spirit help me accomplish the purpose you have for me

Give me peace of heart and of mind so that I can spread it wide for in you,

I find peace that surpasses human understanding.

May I be a blessing everywhere I go and to everyone I meet and talk to.

Be an encouragement to the weary and be a sign of miracle that would change their lives completely

I pray this in Jesus name, AMEN!

LOVE DEFINED

I was thinking through what this festive season really means and finally, I get a glimpse of it and understand it perfectly. I came to an understanding that this is the season where we get to be reminded of how God loves us.

We have been searching for a perfect definition and justification of LOVE in our own understanding and how we can operate in and out of it. We have gone round and round saying the same things about Love over and over. We tend to forget or force ourselves not to know where all the LOVE came from. What’s the authentic source of a so deeply sought feeling? A LOVE that has no stains, a LOVE that corrects, understands, forgives, cares and forgets. Believe me; the list for this PERFECT LOVE is long to even fit a thousand pages. A LOVE when realized by an individual, all else is just a vague impression. A LOVE that’s so pure that can makes one feel guilty when not responding to it, once you realize and get to taste it. A LOVE that is not ashamed or selfish, but gives its all.

A LOVE that has proven itself not once, twice or even a thousand times but each and every second you live. To bring the picture more closely, do this simple math, (Number of your years x number of days in a year x hours of a day x sixty seconds). That’s the number HE is proving to you that HE LOVES you no matter what and still counting.

I’m talking about the LOVE of God. God loved us before we became to existence. He loves us more than we can think of or imagine, such that He gave His only begotten Son to be a visible sign of how He loves us. He loves us in such a way that He didn't want us to perish in our own transgressions and yet you say you are not LOVED?

We get hurt when we pursue a vague love, trying to make it fit in our own definition and justification. We go on saying that we won’t love again when we get heart broken, but how do you think God feels when you break His heart, when you've done wrong or not giving Him what He deserves? He gets hurt but His love towards us is so much that He doesn't say He won’t love us again; but give us more reasons why He loves us.  He doesn't only say it in plain words but also shows it. He gives you life that is not guaranteed of having, to prove to you that He loves and wants you to make it right and develop a relationship with Him. What other proof do you need to realize that indeed you are LOVED?

                            

To make it short, as you think of ways to celebrate this year’s Easter, let it make a difference in your life by realizing and acknowledging His LOVE first. In as much as you will keep on searching for love, you will not get any perfect love like God’s love. There is a lot to say about His LOVE but in order to make sense to you, let this echo in your mind and heart the whole of this season.  

“For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him, shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)  

"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." 

(John 15:13)

We often ask God “why am I not loved? “when we are heartbroken and the answer He constantly give us is Jesus’ picture on the cross saying I LOVE YOU THIS MUCH. Make a point to realize, acknowledge and reply to His LOVE as you also SPREAD LOVE TO EVERYONE!!

 

 

Happy and Blessed Easter!!!

Are You Still With Me In the Dark?

My heart is moved by your heart beat,
Is there a place for me that I can call Home?
With all the trouble I've caused am I still Loved?
All the mistakes I have done can I count myself,
As someone who is cared for?


I can only hide in my skin, a hollow self that walks like a zombie,
As I crawl in all directions to find my true self
having no one by my side who understands me the way you do,
Are you still with me in the dark?


Surrounded by great marble like walls, I can't escape through,
Screaming on top of my lungs, but met with a dead silence,
No sound or proof that there is someone listening
Are you still with me in the dark?


Filled with fear, confusions and uncertainty of which way to go,
Swayed side by side just like a dry leaf following a whirl wind,
No certain direction of choices or places I want to be.
Feeling lost in my own journey, helpless and abandoned
Are you still with me in the dark?
