Because we met

BECAUSE WE MET
 I LIVE
 I LOVE

In countless times I’ve proven that You are good

In all those instances that I was faithless, You remained faithful

In loving me, it never depends on me but on who You are

In my frailties, Your mercy and grace always abound more

There is no way I could match Your holiness

My attempts would always be credited as filthy rags

Lying lips and murderous heart, I have

I curse, I complain

However, Your goodness compels me to repentance

Your blood could wash away every ounce of guilt I feel

Oh Your forgiveness, how it renews my strength is simply amazing

I am not only cleansed, I became the apple of  Your eye

Lord, how could You love me?

When I spend most of my life ignoring You,

You keep reaching out

When I am crazy blaming You when things go wrong

When I am but a fool in treating You a genie

Despite my nature, You never grow tired winning my love for You

Father God, thank You

After knowing You personally and intimately a decade ago

Please, never allow that I will go astray once again

Apart from Your presence is unimaginable

It would be a season of doom and dread

My greatest fear, I’ll forget who You are and who am I to You

That I’ll live my days as if I never knew You

If we did not meet, I would not know how I offend You

If we did not meet, I would not know how to please You

If we did not meet, I would not know how to live

If we did not meet, I would not know how to love

 LOOK UP

Sometimes you may wonder why life is so hard on you

You may entertain the thought that life is unfair

You may even accuse God punishing you

Different doors you tried entering to find relief

Counsels do not make an impact

Giving up is your next step

Appetite to eat abandoned you

Tears just cannot stop from flowing

It seems that nobody understands, nobody cares

My dear friend,

 Someone does care, does understand your brokenness

Get down on your knees and look up

See how orderly the stars hang in the heavens

How beautiful their twinkling

He who ordained them, loves you

His love is not only everlasting

It forgives, it gives life, it restores

It gives meaning to everything

Take courage my friend

Life struggles are not meant to put you down

They are miracles to draw You closer to Him

Trials make you look up

You see the majesty of His creation

Same hands that made them were pierced that you may live with hope

WHERE IT LEADS

All along I am aware of the danger of proximity

How temptation lurks in darkness

With surging feelings, one may forget

A simple intimation to a causal joke

The want to be close grows

One day, hands may lock together

 (to be continued)

When the season is overwhelming, RECALL that:
