THE BIRD AND THE LOVE CAGE

I'm a bird and what I do is fly

Not in a cage, but rather fly so high

I know you care, but something's between you and I

I'm not a bird that hunts the shallow seas

I'm the eagle that fights the fearsome storms

I'm in the rank of God's own sons!

Believe in me too

As much as you believe those you look up to

I may be young but I'm not senseless

I keep things from you for you hold me back

Not in spite, but like you care too much

And it's true, I'd rather not have such

Feeling like a bird in a golden cage

You should believe in me too

At times, it's a drain speaking to you

No lies, I tell you the truth

I'd rather be like Ruth

But like a flute,

I fear I'm being played the fool

And it's like you don't believe my truth

I'm the wing that belongs to the open skies

Not some thought to be caged by fears

Hounded by doubts, falling to insecurities

It's like you do me disservice

I'm down for you and that's the truth

But for now, just let me be

Free to feel and free to be,

Free to feel and free to be. Me.

IT IS A TERRIBLE THING TO NOT KNOW HOW GREAT YOU ARE

Hello, and welcome to Haven Incorporated. This is the very first post minted in our press, and hopefully the continuation of something great. We hope you find value in this space and find it a place to stay. It's indeed a terrible thing to not know how great one is. Usually, we hear warnings to desist from pride and cease from arrogance, that pride goes before an unpleasant fall and humility comes before honour. But having a healthy sense of self and worth is not as emphasised. And I dare say, it's better to be proud than falsely humble! Just tonight, I saw a man who didn't know how great he was, and it pierced my heart to see him so. Maybe he knew, but only humbled himself for the moment, but I didn't think it necessary for him to have done so. But it's terrible to not know how great you are! It occurred to me that culture and tradition, perhaps, makes us stagnant and backwards in the face of progress. It is true that we learn great virtue and core valu...

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...
