Trust

I had trust

Trust in many things
Trust in my parents

Trust in my siblings

Trust in my friends

Trust in the men of God

Trust in my school

Trust in my lecturers

Trust in a whole lot

Yes I had trust

And I believed in the things I trusted

I said I trusted God

But did I ever seek to know what that meant?

I said I relied on Him

And on His Word

I said I always put Him first

But then again I wonder

I said in my little head that I’ll do whatever He said

That I’ll go after he spoke

But did I always do that?

I thought I did

But I fooled myself

I had such confidence

In who I thought I was in Him

I carried my self-high and was proud of me

Then I saw the reality

I was not the perfect
or the good enough person I thought I was

I faulted in many ways

I trusted what men could do for me more

I relied on them being the people to act

More than He that directs them

I believed a great deal

But in many of the wrong things

Then I got heart broken

By who?

These same men I so trusted

They disappointed

Time and over

They promised and failed

They spoke words that gave a hint of light

And then they failed

Man disappointed me over and over

Then I remembered my Father

And as always ran back with my teary eyes

Asking Him to help me

To show me favor

I have been stubborn

I have been naive

I have done the right thing at the wrong time

But finally

I think I have learnt my lesson

Now I’ll go to God first

And tell Him to take care of the men he created

To make things work His way

And to help me trust Him more.

Today I know where I put my trust first

I'll put my trust in God.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,and do not lean on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5

At certain points in our lives, I believe we often trust men more than God, but it's imperative to remember and understand that He is the supreme Being and the One whom we should place all and not some of our trust. 

He, His, Him - referring to God. 

Rapturable

If rapture occurs today

Where would you be?

If rapture occurs today

Where would you stand?

Would you stand tall?

Would you stand firm?

Would you be weak,

And scared,

or ready to run?

Would the Father say,

“You knew me,

But knew not my Word”

Would the Father say,

“You knew my Word,

But obeyed it not”

Would you scream,

And say, “I did this

And did that”

So you will be justified

Would you hide

even before you see

The Father

Would you simply wonder?

Because you really are clueless.

Clueless as to where you stand

Or

Would he simply see you

And say “thou faithful servant”

If rapture occurs today

Where would you be?

Rapture has not occurred today,

So here is my parting words to you
I’ll say, “be rapturable”.

Matthew 7: 21- 22 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you:depart from me, ye that work iniquity(KJV)

Knowing your stand in the kingdom is necessary. Be rapturable..

Lost ---> Found

I felt lost in many ways
Ways I could explain
And yet could not explain

Ways I felt I knew in my reality

But yet could not fully relate with

I am a Christian

And I tried to be different

I was told to move away from the world

To stand out

And act like a Christian

Be Christ-like

So I tried to move away from the ways of the world

I tried to change my lifestyle

Tried to be more...  Christ-like

Hmmm…

I think I got lost

Lost in the notion of what being Christ-like was

I got lost in the religion of being a Christian

I tried to rather be like other Christians
I watched them
I spied on them
I struggled to be like them
I looked up to them
Saw them as perfect
And aspired to be seen likewise
But I know I lost it
I lost myself in trying to be like other Christians

I wondered, Oh I wondered
I felt condemned
Condemned because I had failed
Failed who?
I had failed myself
Failed my expectations
I felt I had failed in being a Christian

I got lost in trying to be an accepted Christian
Not because I tried to be a Christian as it is
I got lost striving to change on the surface
Striving to make the world see what I thought I had become
But I really was lost

I was lost in trying
Always trying

I forgot
Or rather neglected the fact that I didn't need to try
All I had to do was tell my Savior to help me

I was tired of being lost
So I cried
I cried to Jesus
I asked Him to help me
I asked Him to teach me
To mold me
To change me
I asked Jesus to make me who He wanted me to be

I asked and indeed I received
I am not yet the epitome of perfection
But Jesus is my new teacher
I am now letting Jesus live through me
And not me trying to be Him

I was lost, but now I am found in Jesus

A new month

This is just a little something to express my thanks for seeing a new month. 

Grace undeserved,
Love unexplainable,
Yet available.

A year,
Passing by with each splitting second,
A life, my life, your life,
A treasure to my maker,
A new month,
A new day,
A testimony we behold.

For the grace to behold it,
I'll give thanks.
For the opportunity to breath it,
l'll give a smile,
For the unending love,
I'll embrace it.

And for life, for you and for me,
I'll always appreciate it.

Welcome to November.


Learn to appreciate every moment in life you have, through the struggles, through the pain, learn to say thanks. Its a privilege to be alive, so embrace the life you have, and appreciate what God has given you.

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. I Tess 5:18
