There Comes a Time...

There comes a time

In each of our lives

When we decide

That everything superficial

Must go!

The moment when

The truth becomes more dearer

Than every lie

We allowed

To masquerade us.

Wisdom becomes valuable

More than its weight in gold

And folly become unbearable.

We decide to do away with

The pretender

The false faced ones

Because our life

And our time on earth

Are too precious for us

To let pretenders steal them from us.

Goodbye is no longer a bad word

It is a door to let someone go through

And never return.

We realize that truth and folly

Cannot be bedfellows

The twain shall never meet

So why linger on

Hoping for the impossible?

We learn to surrender to Divine wisdom

Cos God knew what He was doing.

Suddenly being alone is not a bad thing

It is enjoying a moment in solitude

Taking in its uniqueness

Enjoying the shades and colors it brings

It is nourishing our soul

Accepting our own uniqueness

And celebrating the specialness

Of others around us

Far away from the din of crowds

Listening to the lapping of waves.

No more compromise

On everything that matters

Yet tolerance is needed

For we will need to wait

Till others understand

What we have understood

And arrive at the same place

Willingly

Until then it just a journey 

Of learning, unlearning and arriving.

A Beautiful Mosaic

Today I was picking up the pieces

Fragments of my life

That I had sealed and put away.

I unpacked them and found

To my great joy

They still fitted into their original place!

I unlocked many memories

Of things I had accomplished

But had pushed into a corner somewhere.

As the pieces came together

I found it became a beautiful mosaic

As the rays of light shone through.

I was afraid to open the boxes

But now I realized

In opening them I released myself at last!

Nothing comes into our lives

Without a purpose

Everything has a nugget of gold in them.

My Confidence is in the Lord!

The Power of the Blood - A song on what the Lord has done in my life! 

We may find ourselves in difficult situations... Life is like that. The best thing is that any difficult situation doesn't have to bring us down!

We can ask the Lord Jesus to help us, to intervene for us or even wash us clean from the sins that we have committed. In Him, we can have this confidence that we'll be safe! We can rest in the knowledge that His love for us is true and that He will conquer every adversary who stands against us, even Satan himself!

No matter what battles you are fighting today just remember Jesus conquered them all at the cross! No evil can come against you if you hold on to HIM!

This is a song that re-iterates our faith and confidence in the Lord and His accomplished work against our enemy! Learn it and sing it to remind yourself that you are indeed saved, made whole and have nothing to worry. The lyrics are given below...

God be with you!

Lyrics of the Song - The Power of the Blood 

By the Power of the Blood of Jesus

I’m saved!

By the Power of the Blood of Jesus

I’m made whole

He saved me! He saved me!

And He made me whole

I’ve nothing to worry

Cause He’s in control

Now I know that any power of evil 

Won’t hold

And the value of the blood of Jesus

More than gold

Cos He saved me! He saved me

And He gave me life

No Satan can stand up

Before the Author of life!

Even in the face of pain and sorrow

I’ll stand

Even burning in the fiery furnace

He holds my hand

He’ll save me, He’ll save us

I know I can be sure

Cause He faced death just for me

My pain to endure.
