OUR HEARTS YEARN FOR A BETTER PLACE

The world seeks a glory. A glory to clothe herself with absolute peace and happiness. Her woes is greater than the pleasures she offers and that makes us hope for a better place. It is the dream of our hearts. The heartbeat of our being that this sheer dream of having a better place that keeps playing on the screens our mind will one day become a reality. It is not a delusion to believe that heaven is real.

GOD'S GLORY

Where are you? The question God asked in his search for the first man in Eden as if he doesn't know his where about. He is omnipresent, omnipotent, all knowing God. But the only thing that is tangible to his sight is the glory he endowed upon us and when Adam lost that glory, he lost the essence of his existence. It is in this light that he will say to some "depart from me, you son of disobedience, I knew you not" for you have lost the glory.

HAVE A RIGHT HEART FOR DOING GOOD

God the father handed over Jesus to Pilate, Jesus handed over himself and the traitor, Judas handed over Jesus. They all had one will- to hand over Jesus- an act that led to his crucifixion (something Christians termed it as good). They all did the same thing, yet Judas will was evil and God's good, because it is for different reasons that they wish it to be done. God the father handed over Jesus in order to reconcile the world to himself. Judas handed over Jesus to enrich his pocket. Like Judas, our actions may lead to something good but if we do it with the wrong intention then it becomes evil.

THE CROSS SAVES

Life is like a voyage. You can't stand fearlessly against the storms and the boisterous winds without an anchor. Here is the catch; an anchor is usually shaped like a CROSS. Oh yes it has the shape of a CROSS.

CREATION IS GOOD

You hating one or two elements of creation does not make creation imperfect. He who created everything said "it is good". You may hate darkness but remember it is this same darkness that makes life meaningful to the bat. Creation is not about you alone. So embrace nature and free yourself from your selfish wishes. God knows best.

THERE IS HOPE, KEEP FIGHTING

One day our tears will get drown in the sea and our fairy tale wishes will be a message of hope to humanity.
One day our struggles will bear the marks of a hero and our names will be scribbled on the hearts and lips of creation.
One day we will be friends with the stars and the moon and our story will be a history to remember.
Until then, we will fight with every atom of our being, till one day our dreams become a reality.

Faith In God

You cannot possess a faith higher than one's object of worship. No matter how great your faith is, it cannot supersede the omnipotence of God, neither can it override the sovereignty will of God for your life. All you need is the mustard seed kind of faith. Like a seed, it takes time until it matures to be a tree. So then, after your supplication of faith to God, don't force things, take the patience to wait humbly for His time and when you received it in His time, you will know it feels right.
