Fight the Battle for Your Life

What are the problems you are facing?

Your problems are taking you to the next level in your life.

No challenge - no victory!

Get up and fight the battle for your life.

Don't sit there and allow your adversary to take your life.

You were born because God wanted someone like you to be a part of His creation. He has a plan for you - a plan for a good future.

Fight for His plan to be fulfilled in your life. Don't allow anyone to rob you of His best for you and your life.

You are worth fighting for!

You really are.

If no one has told you that you have value or worth or made you feel that way... the problem is with them, not you.

They were stingy with their words and deeds, too self-centered to see good in anyone else. Don't let their weaknesses or faults make you look down on yourself!

Don't hate yourself because they hated you.

Don't neglect yourself because others neglected you and your needs.

Don't expect others to reward you or acknowledge your goodness...

Keep doing good for the right reasons and God will reward you.

Keep fighting in faith, build up the warrior in you!

God has a plan for me - a Song

When you are going through tough times, it is very important to have a positive outlook and hope so you can overcome every problem. A person who doesn't have hope is one of the poorest persons in the world. The truth is if we have faith in God, we will always have hope, for He is always near those children who trust in Him! 'God has a plan for me' is a song that expresses trust and faith in God and reminds us that though tough times come, it is a passing phase and God will get us through the difficult time. Here are the lyrics of this song: God has a plan for me Chorus:
God has a plan for me I can see His love is in everything He does for me - 2 It may not be a sunny day It may not be a rosy way But I know that the Father's love is true And I know He an make all things new.

Chorus Though disappointments dot my way Though many people may turn away But I know this is a passing phase He will fill me with His love and grace.

Chorus So I will keep looking at my Lord So I will keep singing praise to God For only Jesus can bring me victory For only God knows the end of my story.

Without Knowing

We hardly know the bruises we leave behind

As we walk on jostling through life.

Every day comes with its battles and problems

We struggle to keep things going

And somewhere in the process

We become a problem ourselves,

A problem for someone else.

As we grow wiser to our own lapses

We realize the people gone before us

Knew little of the damage they did

To our generation, to our family life

To our future.

Each thought they had a choice for themselves

Some chose for themselves

Some chose thinking about others

Each left behind consequences for others to endure

Suffer and overcome.

Perhaps a lot of us would have no story

No success and no victory if there was no hurdle

Obstacle or lack to deal with

They were the reason why we stand proud today

Thinking we handled the cards we were dealt with well.

We may fret and not want to share the glory or credit

Of our achievements with those who were part of the problem

But the truth is if the going was easy

We would be no winner!

There is a victory only when there is a struggle.

Often I have looked at families that have everything made

And feel sad about what I have missed

But then I realize someone in their family broke the mould

Made an impact through their actions

And freed the coming generations to live better lives.

You and I have been called to be winners

To be breakers of the mould

To be path creators and pioneers

Who will show the way to the struggling and lost 

We can be beacons and shine the light! 

Adieu 2013

As 2013 comes to an end

I find in my hand

A mixed bag of emotions...

A mosaic of lessons and experiences

I have gained from

I will cherish

For life.

A year when I came to terms

With myself

With my life the way it has been

And mustered the courage

To step out to be

The real me

No matter what the cost.

The line is drawn

The lesson learned

The bitter sweet pill swallowed

A gush of hope

Fills the horizon

As dreams long dead

Come back to life.

The long and short

Of life’s story is

No one else lives yours

Just go out and live!

When it’s time to pay

It’s you who pay the price

Why hide when it’s time to shine?

No apologies

To those who never understood

No excuses

For what I was not able to do

No reasons

So someone may accept who I am

If they don’t it’s their loss not mine!

I move on

I will thrive

Who knows how long I have

To live?

These precious moments

When we can leave a trail

Will never come back again.

Live right

Live well

Someday someone

Will your story tell

What do you want it to be?

A story of losses and misery

Or a story of overcoming and victory!!!

I have decided

What I will do...

Thank you God

For 2013

I hope I have learned

All I had to learn

2014 here I come! 

Truth and Justice

The truth should speak for itself

For if it doesn’t, injustice will prevail

The problem with our courts of justice is

That they don’t look at the situation as it is

But rather at how it is represented

So when a criminal is represented as an angel

And the court buys it

Justice is perverted

And the court becomes criminal too

Perpetrators of injustice

On the helpless innocents.

Thousands and millions perish

Live in despair and cry

Because of this great injustice

When judgments are bought for a price.

The hand that should correct and protect

Becomes the very hand that maims and kills

Hearts, minds, souls and spirits

When they are crushed

Though they did no wrong.

Isn’t this predicament far worse than the first?

Then – they felt that someone would help,

Understand and do them justice

And now – all hope turns to despair,

Pain and torment as they cry

“There is no one who would help!

There is no hope! We are finished!!”

Would not the halls of heaven

Resound with cries of sorrow

Of souls trapped in circumstances

Crying for they can see no tomorrow?

For there, no bribes

Nor destruction of evidence

Can save a criminal’s skin

The cause of true justice is upheld

The victory can be won.

The compensation there is restoration

And losses turn into gain.

O unrepentant man!

Turn from the road to fraudulent gain

The violence you create will one day end you too

Nothing you amass through another’s sorrow

Will ever do you any good.

Haven’t you read the tales of old

Of thousands who perished in greed

So why carry on through the glittering road

That leads to the doubly dead?
