IF JESUS WAS A HUSBAND

If Jesus was a husband, If Jesus had a wife— Would we say marriage was difficult, Or would it be heaven on earth? All the warnings about marriage, All the quotes that give you pause. I've seen my fair share of them, Even the Bible gives you one! They say tolerance is key  To a lasting marriage, That love dies along the way, I say, what a tragedy of sorts... So I wonder to myself, If we had two people loving up like Christ, Living up like Christ, Would we still have the same challenge? For I couldn't help but think — If Jesus was a husband, If Jesus had a wife— Would we say marriage was difficult, Or would it be heaven on earth?

GIVE ROOM FOR GOD TO FAIL YOU

Reading the heading, it sure sounds counterproductive, an impossible paradox to accept. Why? Why consider God's failure in the equation? It is not in his nature, he doesn't, God doesn't fail. What God cannot do does not exist. True! Yet let us consider the fact that God may actually "fail us." You might have guessed already where this post is already going. If that is the case, I congratulate you. If you haven't, let us walk through it together to the end. There are stories abound of devout people who left the fold, who left the worship of God because he didn't answer their prayers. People who didn't understand the reason why God would let bad things happen to good people or people who couldn't wrap their heads around the fact that God didn't grant their request despite their diligent work in his service, and for this reason they are offended and may fall out of the faith. We will provide two simple examples to back up t...

GOD IS GOOD BEYOND WORDS

When things get difficult and incomprehensible  When times are different, not like they used to It's tempting to lose sight and fidget But God is good beyond words  He provides for us beyond words Gives us comfort outside of this world  We are held in the palm of his hands His love for us unchanging  I've seen the good and the bad  Seen the beautiful and the ugly Amidst all of this, one thing remains That God is good beyond words..

RESILIENCE

In difficult times, we find strength  When we push back against excuses When we proudly or otherwise  Refuse to give excuses We find strength  God gives grace to push forward  When you find self at a crossroads  And tasks before you on hold  When you have tried but couldn't  And it seems not enough resources to complete your tasks When you want to ask permission to delay completion  When asking again doesn't sit well Let excuses die on your lips Try to forge ahead with the resources you have And come out with an even better outcome  So, don't give up in difficult moments  Could be God teaching you resilience  To forge ahead with what you have And come out with an even better result  Than if you had the complete tools...

ROSES OF VIOLENCE

They promised freedom from day one Way before the election was won  Renewed hope in the chosen one... Alas, in God we trust  An observer in all their madness  Hoping the best man wins Picked no sides in their contest  But unity should always come first  Been years we began running  The price of things haven't stopped running  Like an infant leaking diarrhoea  The supreme promises keep falling flat The previous man was a herdsman  Treated men like cattle and made life difficult  This one is a tycoon, he lifted all restrictions  Then made the masses pay for it— Through the nose, through the anus  This someone who promised citrus.. The silence of the lambs, the roar of the lion O, let the dogs out! Let them bark and keep barking  At this curious case that frankly  Springs up roses of violence in the land Brash and violent with all their prickly thorns  The chosen ones plunder the nation in turns  Ra...

BLESSINGS BEYOND WORDS

Everything is good  Not everything is bad Each time I look back  I couldn't be more glad  With each passing step I see the need to connect  To stay in touch  Remain as one with the Source Things I tried out  They worked out for me Advised others the same Can't say it worked out the same Not to say I didn't face failure  Or had things go a different way Than planned. But looking back I couldn't be more proud I look around  And see the world around me  I ask about my counterparts  Where is your sense of adventure? Not to say they tried their way And it didn't work their way  Or that I was right  And they were wrong Maybe it's because I  Have age on my side  And time against me That I could afford to be Able to leave everything behind  And never my steps rewind  Everyone talks about the money  But to me, it was kind of funny How like I had no roots I couldn't not leave behind  But always I...

THE MIST

People losing their minds in a vicious cycle Is it a problem of being fenced in? But even some who explored and returned  Found themselves in a downward spiral Great children with great promise  Trapped in cycle of diminishing returns Took the road to the highest funway  Had their minds cracked into splinters  See young children once full of life  Become unwitting shadows of themselves  Hovering about like darkening clouds Their guardians freezing in the headlights  High on drugs, but low on goals Aiming at action, but aiming aimlessly  The decline puts a chill on your soul Life a story, value your prose... They said it's because the walls are fenced in That there's something out there doing the feeding  But one thing is certain, God we are needing  Say no to drugs.
