I had been sadly blinded

by my sinful misery,

listening to Life pass by;

Would I, be able to see

the Love that You had bestowed?

I’m stuck on this broken road;

restore my vision today,

as my purpose has been slowed.

I was like Bartimaeus,

waiting for Christ to find me;

unto Him, I cried and called;

He lovingly met my plea.

He greeted me where I was,

shunned by the neighborhood crowd;

transfixed, I stood before…

Planted by the river of Living Waters,

I remain rooted and grounded in Christ;

He provides for my thirst, my hunger,

my Salvation and my everlasting Life.

With the foundation of Biblical Truth,

I’m rooted and grounded in the Holy Word;

the application of its principles gives

my heart hope with peace that’s assured.

When walking in holiness and rectitude,

I stay rooted and grounded in God’s love;

His Essence softly embraces me with…

O Lord, my heavy heart hurts

and my tongue can’t find words

to articulate the inward pain,

as my spirit struggles to avert

reiterations of disappointment.

My thoughts of being distraught,

exhausted and overwhelmed steal

the inner peace of my contentment.

I’m humbled by my circumstances;

now I’m casting my cares upon You;

I’m reaching for Your rest, yoke

and peace, to have another chance

of moving forward with Your…

In lifeless patterns of repetition,

the congregation of the dead assemble,

eddying around the Light of Truth;

lacking reverence, they sadly tremble

and cringe during the Sunday Service,

seeking loopholes from accountability;

after all, regular attendance grants

the sacred status of Church nobility.

Meanwhile, frustrated ministers hurl

their verbal rocks, in futile attempts

to weed out their spiritual deadwood,

unaware that their…

As Children of The Almighty,

we have the God-given ability

to rise up, without the shame

of knowing who we really are,

despite our souls’ fragility.

Have we been taught and shown

Love, Mercy, Grace, Forgiveness

and Peace that we require daily?

So what is holding us back now,

from overcoming this human mess

of feeling inadequate or ignorant?

About 90% of The World is headed

towards Hell, unconvinced about

the…

Life’s obstacles can only delay us

from achieving our God-given purpose;

instead of becoming frustrated, we

should look to Christ and just focus

on the underlying issues in prayer.

Obstacles may perfect personal traits,

like having peace by waiting on Him,

so that our hearts are not deflated.

They kick up dust, blinding our vision

whereby, we must go back to Him again;

When our eyes are focused on Christ,

He lights our path and…

We are not motivated

by a sacred concept

of moral regulations;

the heart’s context

of pleasing The Lord,

presses us… forward.

His Love covers sin

and senses of awkward-

ness that afflict us.

Before Him, we come

to offer our praise,

heartfelt thanksgiving

and lives to essay

a lifestyle of Faith.

As His adopted Children,

we’re to mature, grow

and rise above the din

of this World’s…

It’s important to remember that Death,

has been conquered by Christ’s victory;

though our mortal flesh is perishable,

our spirits will rise and we will see

Him in His exalted radiance, as The Son.

Like Him, we too will be raised in glory;

we will be completely reconciled unto God,

with Christ having no sense of animosity

towards us, regarding His experiences

as our propitiation on Calvary’s Cross.

After all, He submitted to The…
