Seeing, they say, is believing…
So, what about knowing?
What about discerning?
If life is all about sight,
The blind will not smile,
and their feelings won’t ignite. And believe they never right
Believing is more than the eyes..
It is much deeper within. Continue reading
I feel lost
Lost in a wilderness unknown
Fill of sheets and ropes
Tying me bound without freedom
And I search inside of me
To know exactly
How I ended up here Continue reading
Day and Night
My heart pounders,
My soul wonders,
My spirit searches for truth;
Truth about what my God may want so that my heart may not want after that which is not true nor real. Continue reading
In solemn reflection,
I searched myself ..
Seeking for a deep reliance,
A comfort zone,
A fearless confidence,
An unending love.. Continue reading
Life can be ice cold when you lose someone you love ……………………
I was frozen in the dark
staring at everything and yet, seeing nothing,
floods of tears running down my cheeks,
Tons of weight suppressing my fragile heart,
I was frozen in the dark
unable to move my dead soul ……………
Shot out of the beauty of living into nothingness,
Vagueness of life seemed to make some sense.
I was frozen in the dark..
I didn’t feel alive,
I wasn’t alive!
I was lost ….
Far in space …
Blank in mind …
Empty in soul …
Broken in spirit …
I was frozen in the dark … Continue reading
As I look down memory lane I remember
Like a little shrub at the dawn of sprouting
My admission, left me shouting
Alas there was yet another route to explore
Just behind the great gate of learning before me Continue reading
Don’t stare at me like that…
Lest the creator lose his wages…
and I become a mirror of my past.
Cast your eyes sternly,
Place your gaze appropriately,
Do I really look like a saint?
Well, I am one today.
But, once I was lost, Continue reading
I have known the Father’s love for me
God has been good to me
He’s been good.
Through it all, He has been there for me
God loves me
I didnt earn it
I didnt bribe Him for it
He just loves me.
Years roll by,
Situations come up
Giants threaten me…
But, He has always fought for me…
I do get scared at times,
But, He has always comforted me…
Securing family and friends for me…
Providing for me,
Protecting me,
Building me…
Doing it all for me.
If all I can say is ‘Thank you JESUS!’
If all I can say is;’Thank you Lord, God Almighty!’
Then, I better say it well…
Cos’ my God has truly been good to me.
