My Balcony

From my balcony

I watch you

Staring into space

Wasting away your days

Drowning in alcohol

Everyday I see you

Miserable and feeling sorry

For yourself

Why, child of destiny?

Why are you so defeated ?

Stand up golden child

And untie yourself

From the dirty cords

Of self pity

I can see a great destiny

Written by the Almighty

For you

Rise and shine

Reject self pity

And hopelessness

Hopelessness and self pity

Are for the cowardly

And unbelieving

They are not for the children

Of God

The Lord hates cowardice

But rewards the brave

Rise up

To big and difficult tasks

Take the reigns

Of faith and bravery

And claim your destiny

Reject self pity and fear

And keep walking

In the journey of life

Keep on moving

And don’t stop

Because life is a journey

Just One Lie

 

Sitting on my rocking chair

Lost in deep thoughts

Regretting my past

Discouraged about my future

I remembered Daniel

My childhood best friend

Whom I had hurt badly

Because

I had always assumed

He was mine

Even though we were never

A couple

He married the

Best lady of all

Almost perfect in all things

And I was just

Simply me

The envy

And jealousy

That possessed me

Was beyond reason

And I lied

And broke them apart

Now that I am old

Almost blind

And tired

I reflect on my

Past

And I live in

Complete remorse

And regret

I must call Daniel and apologize

For this regret

Is like a raving fire

Threatening to engulf me

Yes,

I must call Daniel

And I pray

He forgives me

Just one lie

And a terrible consequence

Today

I dedicate my lips to God

And commit my mouth

To truth

As I pray

Daniel forgives me.

Lost Shadow

I followed you blindly

Like a cold, lost shadow

I thought it was loyalty

I thought it was devotion

I thought it was love

I followed you blindly

I lost my senses

And my dignity

In a relentlessly dark journey

Into the land of Obsession

I lived for you

My magnificent obsession

Until I realized

That I was your slave

Because

You had possessed

My spirit and soul

I lived for you

But not anymore

For I am free

Free to dance

Free to love

In a healthy way

Devoid of obsession

I lived for you

But now

I live for God

For myself

And others

In pure agape love

It Is Finished

img_4326

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. (Ephesians 5:11 NKJV)

No more addition

To the gospel

We must believe

That he set us free

Forgave us

And cancelled our sins

He also said to me

The word of God

Will judge those

Who refuse the gospel

On the judgement day.

It is finished!

 

Nothing else can

Redeem us or save us

Except the precious blood

Of Christ

That was shed on Calvary

It is finished!

Everyday I See You

Apostle of Christ

Evangelist of love

Laboring in His vineyard

You are indeed blessed

Everyday I see you

Striving to please Him

You wake up

At odd hours to pray

You travel around the world

In bitter cold

And terrifying heat

Some have thrown stones at you

Some have spat in your face

Despising you

The way they despise Christ

God haters cannot stand you

But the Lord says

Continue my Child

For you were born to preach

And tell people

About my love, grace and mercy

May all who thirst

For salvation run

Fast into the blood of Jesus

For deliverance

And cleaning

Because Jehovahs heart

Is wide open

To those who are weary and thirsty

Come, come He beckons

Come to me

Stewards Of Grace

As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: (1 Peter 4:10 ESV)

Stewards of grace

Custodians of His light

Ransomed to be

The light of the world

May we never

Disgrace the grace

Of God

Or drive people away from

The light

Because of our actions

May the bride of Christ

Not hurt

Those they should protect

Because of error

God of all grace

Crown us

With the fullness

Of your grace

Handsome Cloak

Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. ” (1 Peter 5:5 ESV)

Humility

Our beautiful and handsome clock

Despised by men

But highly loved by God

In humility Jesus won

In humility Moses was victorious

In humility Paul was

In complete submission

Words cannot tell

Enough about the

Benefits of humility

Who can look down

On you precious virtue

O pretty one

Only the sons of darkness

And the unwise

We will embrace

You humility

Fruit of light

And the foundation

Of Obedience

We will cherish you

The way Jesus did

Because God opposes the proud

But gives grace to

The humble

Our Greatest Quest

till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; (Ephesians 4:13 NKJV)

When we truly

Know the son of God

His Word

And His ways

And walk in them

We can grow into Him

And be like him

In character and works

The fullness of Christ

Is our inheritance

Knowing Him

Is to live in Him

Walk in Him

Breathe in Him

Move in Him

Knowing Him must always

Translate into Christlike

Character, not just words.

Knowing Him means

Pleasing Him always

Our greatest quest

Should be

To know Him in word and deeds

It Was Worth It

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. (1 Peter 2:24 ESV)

Bearing the unjust

Weight of sin

Terrible and horrible

He suffered alone

With the whole punishment

Of the world upon

Upon His shoulders

He groaned

He moaned

Endured

Persisted

And persisted

It was worth it

Because

By His stripes

And punishment

We are healed
