In my eyes

He is the First and Last, the Beginning and the End!

He is the keeper of Creation and the Creator of all!

He is the Architect of the universe and the Manager of all times.

He always was, He always is, and He always will be...

Unmoved, Unchanged, Undefeated, and never Undone!

He was bruised and brought healing!

He was pierced and eased pain!

He was persecuted and brought freedom!

He was dead and brought life!

He is risen and brings power!

He reigns and brings Peace!

The world can't understand him,

The armies can't defeat Him,

The schools can't explain Him, and

The leaders can't ignore Him.

Herod couldn't kill Him,

The Pharisees couldn't confuse Him, and

The People couldn't hold Him!

Nero couldn't crush Him,

Hitler couldn't silence Him,

The New Age can't replace Him, and

Maury can't explain Him away!

He is light, love, longevity, and Lord.

He is goodness, Kindness, Gentleness, and God.

He is Holy, Righteous, mighty, powerful, and pure.

His ways are right, His word is eternal,

His will is unchanging, and His mind is on me.

He is my Redeemer, He is my Savior,

He is my guide, and He is my peace!

He is my Joy, He is my comfort,

He is my Lord, and He rules my life!

I serve Him because...

    His bond is love,

    His burden is light, and

    His goal for me is abundant life.

I follow Him because He is...

    the wisdom of the wise,

    the power of the powerful,

    the ancient of days,

    the ruler of rulers,

    the leader of leaders,

    the overseer of the overcomers and

    the sovereign Lord of all that was and is and is to come.

And if that seems impressive to you, try this on for size...

His goal is a relationship with ME!

    He will never leave me,

    Never forsake me,

    Never mislead me,

    Never forget me,

    Never overlook me, and

    Never cancel my appointment in His appointment book!

When I fall, He lifts me up!

When I fail, He forgives!

When I am weak, He is strong!

When I am lost, He is the way!

When I am afraid, He is my courage!

When I stumble, He steadies me!

When I am hurt, He heals me!

When I am broken, He mends me!

When I am blind, He leads me!

When I am hungry, He feeds me!

When I face trials, He is with me!

When I face persecution, He shields me!

When I face problems, He comforts me!

When I face loss, He provides for me!

When I face Death, He carries me Home!

He is everything for everybody, everywhere, every time, and every way.

He is God,

He is faithful.

I am His, and He is mine!

My Father in heaven can whip the father of this world.

So, if you're wondering why I feel so secure, understand this...

    He said it and that settles it.

    God is in control,

    I am on His side, and that means all is well with my soul.

Every day is a blessing  - for GOD Is!

By David Langerfield

You don’t know me!
Looking through my eyes, you don’t trust me.
You’d rather die than take my hand and lead me from this land of destruction and poverty
Why don’t you understand?
You don’t see me.
Look into my soul…
Can’t you see, I’m a man

I am that poor man on the street,
To the rich man, I’m a sinner, I’m a failure and I’m a thief.
Everyday, you all just pass me by
Can’t you see me?
Please don’t deny that I’m alive

You say you love God?
God says “feed him and you feed me”
So why deny me of the very thing i need
I don’t mean no harm
I just wanna talk to you.
Don’t want your money, no,
At least have the decency
To look me in the eyes and not deny that i’m alive

Listen, it’s a hard road to live the life of one that has no name
Before you point your fingers, did you ever stop to think how this happened?
I was living a normal life just like yours; a job, house, car and wife
I never comprehended that I could drop to zero.

So I beg you for a shilling and you deny me again!

My name is poor man.

My understanding and thereafter version of the song poor man by SoulJahz

Beyonce has this song where she tells some guy that he’d better not even think for a quarter of a second (emphasis mine) that he is irreplaceable. She goes on to add ‘I could have another you in a minute’. It’s really interesting when you think about it but I happen to come from that same school of thought. The one that tells me that I deserve the best, that I could have any man I wanted and automatically therefore should never allow myself to be mistreated by a man.

That aside, the song got me thinking. What would happen if God were to think of me in that same way? I can’t even begin to imagine that scenario because I have wronged him over and over again. But I’m so thankful that his love goes beyond what my mind can understand. That he is right by my side. That his love is real and that it will never change. The Bible says that nothing in all creation can ever be able to separate me from the love of God (Romans 8:38-39.) His love is irreplaceable. Don’t you wanna know this kind of love?

I am a child of the king

Whether situations are telling me otherwise,

Whether my faith feels shaky,

Whether going through the midst of temptation,

Whether I feel like it or not.

I am a child of God, full stop.

Thank you Father, for this wonderful revelation.

Consume me,

Consume my thoughts,

Invade my space,

Occupy my mind,

My king, my redeemer

I’m tired, exhausted and drained.

I’m running on an empty gas tank.

Too many responsibilities, too much to do.

Yet they don’t even know they’re overbearing me.

They don’t even know that I’m struggling

They just seem to want more and more of me.

I wanna run away from all this.

So I’m running to you

I wanna get lost in you

Drown me in your love

Restore me.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Mathew 6:33

So, tell me, what are you desperately in need of?

I cant help but scream that I have the most wonderful man on this planet. Why? Well…

Yesterday was my birthday. It started with a basket of red roses in the morning as soon as I stepped into the office. And the card! Oh my! The card was a size infinity card. It was so large but the best thing about it was the words. So intense and so true.

And then evening came, and I was whisked off to a five star hotel for a wonderful meal and then just when I was thinking that this was too good to be true, the lights dim and I hear loud drums and people start singing happy birthday while walking towards me carrying a cake. Wow. You can imagine by now I was on cloud nine. I’ve only seen that in the movies and well, I never thought it would be happening to me. And then to crown the evening off, I traveled home in a London taxi, something I’d always wanted to do but never got around to.

Of course the rest of the day was wonderful. My friends either passed by or sent me texts, my aunty bought me a cake which was gorged down by people in the office and I got quite a number of gifts (Infact I ended up having 3 cakes on that day). Mom made me a wonderful dinner which I only sampled because I was already so full. In other words I had a wonderful day but what made it so spectacular was the amount of thought heartbeat put into it. He wanted it to be soo perfect, and guess what heartbeat, it was much more than that. It was ideal. Thanks for making my birthday a fairy tale.  

You've always been there. No matter what i did. No matter how i sometimes nashed. You still were always there. You still loved me and called me yours. And then went ahead to bless me in ways i could never imagine. You favored me in all that i did.

So how could i not trust you? How could my faith waiver? How could i doubt? But Lord, i'm only human. And i'm sorry. Forgive me for making you too small. You are God.

Lord i enlarge you.

Greater than my problems,

greater than my fears,

greater than my life.

Be magnified.
