DAILY PONDERINGS

You don’t know that you’re alive until you wake up from sleep!
You overlook how well your heart keep beat until it starts skipping them!
You breathe effortlessly until your lungs gives you reason to worry!
Do you catch your mind wandering away from focus or do you realize way later that you had wandered off?
Time is of the essence if you have things to look forward to, if not it just drifts and you rarely keep it.
Yesterday, today and tomorrow are days that we often speak of but what remains engraved in our memories are either of today or yesterday.
We can’t keep any tomorrow memories until it gets here hence we’re always looking forward to it but never catching up because it keeps becoming a yesterday or a today!
If you were to write your whole life story backwards you’d have to know the ending first to backtrack to birth.
We rejoice at birth and cry at death whereas some cry at birth and rejoice at death, would you call that a life cycle well balanced? Ponder it!
Have you ever conversed with self concerning your unruly behavior and disagreed with your logic, explanation or excuses?
If heaven was on earth and earth was in heaven would humankind have to flip upside down to seek repose or would we enjoy our heavenly earth so much that we wouldn’t strive for any better?
What if you wake up one day to find that every single gospel truth you denied was the Only Real Truth and now it’s too late and you’re caught in a trap of your own making for eternity?
What if your kids decided to disobey your truths and lived your lies?
What if you were forced to face your mistakes for life and death was a recurrence of the same because the only truth that saves is Jesus and you rejected Him hence rejecting His Father also!
What if holding on to God meant nothing to Him because you denied His Son your heart for soul-saving?
What if your logic isn’t golden in God’s book but His Word is bond to save your mind, body, soul, heart spirit, mind, life and eternity?
What if God is calling you to step out of the by-word that has labeled your race to stand for Him on a ground that’s not comfort zone?
If you were told that if you trust, believe and raised your hand to God in your scary darkness, He’s faithful and just to deliver you. Would you rather remain in your scary darkness trembling in fear?
…That point in time when your life has so much going on so to balance faith walk and sanity means to let go of foolishness. So anyone who entertain foolishness gets left behind because the weight of the soul is a pressing matter which shouldn’t be bargained with.
Loving people doesn’t mean to reject self, learn that early on in life!
Letting go of the crowd that distracts your focus on God doesn’t make you a bad person, just a person of character with set priorities! Whomever disagrees can welcome your absence!
Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever! That’s comfort that never changes! But even in this know that the door to grace will someday close. The elects in Christ will be gone and there will be no more time to ‘get it right’ before you come to Jesus the Savior! Don’t wait until He comes as King and Judge to decide dearest, it will be too late!
THE KING-JESUS IS COMING!

A CALL TO REFORM

I said I’d show them

To not pounder innocence

People of creed dark past untrue

Bearing a name to which they respond

Yet foreign to its profundity

Meaning or history, they know not verity!

If ’twas revealed

Their name, how cursed be;

What would it alter to these?

Oh senseless beings!

Betrayed by blood

A scapegoat trampled

Youth stifled,

Will suppressed

O wretched souls

Divine escaped thee?

The world corrupt thee?

Repent! O pity!

SHADOW

My Shadow follows me everywhere

He’s there in the dark and light

In the day, it’s easy to see my Shadow

As the sunshines he finds me

At night, it’s quite a different sight

Often I fear he may be lost

But that’s not so, for when the

Smallest ray of light appear,

As does my Shadow near

My Shadow follows me in every way

He does as I do, looks as I do

We are inseparable, Shadow and I

Even in the deepest and softest silence

Shadow speaks ever so lively

He breathes life in all that seem lifeless

My Shadow is important to me

Because he’s mine alone

None other would dare to compare

Shadow and I, on a journey to win

Through thick and thin

We’re determined to win ’cause

We’re survivors, we don’t give up.

We simply put up, at times

We shut up to get up, higher up.

Shadow ticks and tocks around me

Like the hand on a clock.

But through all the phases we,

Shadow and I look the same

Without ever looking into a mirror.

I see my constant reflexion

In my SHADOW!

WHEN DO WE HOPE

When life is so unfair

And no one seem to care

When dreams don’t come true

And the sky can’t turn blue

When the power of God’s love

Does not resemble a Dove

When there is no more laughter

And the clock is ticking faster

Oh Sweet Jesus hear my cry

Come and show me how to fly

You’re my only inspiration

I will follow your direction

Even when I lose my way

You won’t let me go astray

Just because life is unfair

No one seem to really care

Ah, but hope is always here

Even in our darkest fear

Imagine how our life would be

In this lap of luxury

It was made for us you know

Just so He could plainly show

When you hope with all your heart

Life’s not lost, it is a start

EXPLODE THE SHINE

Just as the stars can’t shine without  darkness, so also if the light stands alone its value and worth is undermined or stifled! If you find yourself in the darkness just release your luminescence to shine. As you do so your awakened blazing light will blind and swallow up that darkness. You were created to glow in such a time as this! As such, know that darkness will follow you because it can’t be helped (your beam will attract it like a magnet) since you’re obligated to twinkle your sparkle exists to disarm, destroy, deroot the weight of all darkness! So go ahead glowing, glimmering, gleaming from glints to explosions in gloom!  As you carry Jesus the light of the world within, nourishing daily on God’s word, go forth shining bright!!!
