INSURANCE POLICY

If you were Joseph and God had shown you mysteries, you knew you were bound for greatness but by some twist of fate you find yourself in a prison. You know you can’t go home because it was your family that sold you. In this strange land you find yourself, no one cares about truth. You know no one and even the one powerful person you once worked for now despised you. You are paying for a crime you didn’t commit; you were paying for being true to your God.

In that moment when all seems gone and God may look like a fraud, would you still hold on. Would you smile? Would you wake up in the morning with praise on your lips?

Perhaps you would take Job’s wife’s advice,” curse God and die”

Jesus said in this world you will have trouble but take heart! I have overcome the world.  John 16:33

God knows we have troubles, problems or challenges whichever word you choose to use. No matter the cause or the issue know this Jesus has overcome the world! We also have overcome because we are in HIM. For in Him we live and move and have our being.  Once you come to Christ know that you are a joint heir with Him.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers him from them all.

No matter what your life is like God shall deliver from the miry clay ad set your feet on higher ground.

I don’t know much but I know that God is faithful.

His plans are of good not evil to give us a hope and a future.

All we have is the word of God and this gives us a hope and a future because God is not man that he should tell a lie nor the son of man that he should repent. His words are our insurance policy.

There will be  trouble but we have a God who never fails. he sees it before it happens and he provided a solution a long time ago.

The egyptians you see today you will see no more.

And this is the victory that has overcome the word , even our faith.

We are more than conquerors through HIM who loved us and called us out of darkness into his beautiful light.

AMAZING PEOPLE

 We meet them everyday

 And usually we think cliché

But stepping out of our own way

 We bring a smile to a face

We bring warmth to a soul

Heal a broken heart

 Who knows

 It doesn’t take much to love

Sacrificing doesn’t kill

Being indifferent is selfishness

 A reprise fruiting demise

The same pain all over

What if we showed love

Perhaps

Some peace could creep through the broken pieces

The hand we lend 

Could create a happy end.

TREASURES

There are those things we never want to let go off. It may not be gold but it is our little treasure. Like when I get a brand new set of headphones I pray it doesn’t ever get spoilt because I like my music. Music gives me pleasure.

We have a way of holding things dear out of fear. we don’t want to lose certain items or relationships because they mean so much to us.

What if what you held dear didn’t actually care? What if you held on to a hope that was bound to drown and you would be forgotten in a sea of forgetfulness. And if you held on to something of no worth at all it will crumble to dust in your care.

There are two things I would like to do better with, knowing the right thing to hold dear and who I can share those things with.

 If people don’t hold dear what you hold dear they will never understand what exactly your treasure is and they definitely won’t help you preserve it. If you have friends that hold you dear they will always find a way to stick around no matter how different you are. If they know you hold something dear for your sake they will hold it dear. They won’t slander you for your beliefs even if they disagree. 

There are some things that are so silly but God always still makes sure we get them when we ask.  I have worried about some things and God made a way  for me and  now, when I think back I realize how silly I have been, That’s because he is our friend. He knows what matters to us and hence it matters to Him. It mattered to Him when Abraham didn’t have a child and when Abraham was telling God his fears God told him not to worry because it was already in his plans. GOD CARES.

We are worth more to God than we could ever imagine. We are a treasure to Him because he gave up for us His only son. I have come to realize that these 2 things matter most our relationship with God and our purpose. On these two I pray we never compromise. In our search for all the good things in life, these two should not be missed. They define us. They define our worth. They make us treasure.

Mathew 7v6

‘’do not give to dogs, what is sacred; do nor throw your pearls to pigs. If you do , they may trample them under their feet ,and then turn and tear you to pieces.”

A SECOND LOOK

 

First glance

Nothing to admire

The same old me

 Wretched and distraught

 I still carry scars

Results of my troubled past

The issues in my life that keep surfacing now and then

My mind stays up pondering on them

Wishing that things had been different

Living in regret doubtful I will ever be free

From these tears that haunt me

Flashes of him, then me

Enter her

And I vanish into thin air

My breakdown could have killed me

Never had I been this traumatized

Not even my mother’s beatings caused me this kind of pain

And in the end it was a blame game

 He said   she said

The biggest challenge was to act perfectly fine

 To hide my tears from the world

And be strong

He always did say I needed to be strong

Funny

Look at this again

I went through pain

Yet I gained strength

 I was someone’s fool

But I learned wisdom

I stooped low

But now I stand tall

Flashbacks still come

But I no longer run

I am bracing the broken down girl

And realizing it has worked out for my good

God has use for the broken

He gives peace to the weary

And joy to the downcast

 If the tears roll down my cheeks

If my emotions want to sink me

If a voice tells me I am no good

I know in my heart

I have been redeemed

Set apart and honored

I may not see it yet

But God’s going to get me there

 Whatever you have been through

Whatever is happening

Take a second look

See God’s point of view

You are redeemed.

 

 

 

 

SLAVE OR FREE?

 There’s a strange tune in my head

It sounds familiar but I sense the peril

 Why does it also bring much thrill?

The idea of being in control doing whatever you want

But what does power mean

Is it just me or power ends up in slavery

To be one’s own boss is to be one’s own slave

To one’s own desire and cause one’s own demise

Does free will really give you a will

Or do we lie through our teeth to fit in

Even though we say we are free

 We say we do what we want

Is what we our hearts truly desire

 Or what another man requires

 Is it that desire  carries   fear

 Maybe a burden burden we all must bear

If it is could we please share.

In Christ we are made whole and free.
