God gave me a new reason to smile

God I appreciate everything you've done for me, You are the Alpha and Omega of every situation i've ever encountered through this life. God i appreciate you more than you can fathom right now. God I was mad and sad these past few days but you've opened my eyes to a greater venue of self. God you've opened my heart to forgiveness, you've opened my heart to love and love in abundance despite myself. God I thank you for challenging my heart and mind. I thank you for showing me other testimonies in which i am able to appreciate everything more...Lord I could have been in a far more worse situation but you guarded my steps and my heart and the thought processes from becoming entangled in a different and more complicated situation that i've experienced. Lord, God you are beautiful, you are wonderful, you are great and all i have is you and i'm glad i have you in my corner to lean upon. I'm glad that i have your hand to hold when i misplace my foot. Lord you are greatly to be praised for who you are. Greatly to be acknowledged within all the earth. God if i could take back all the things i did to hurt you, i would cover the earth with my tears and my breath would be faint from lamentations to your throne. You deserve my praise, only you deserve my heart and the contents thereof. God remove the inquities and infirmities that hold me back from really and truly opening the contents of my spirit to you. Lord make love to my spirit, consume my body with joy and gladness, let the strength of my legs pound the earth with your praises, let my arms flare like flowers that reach the heavens for scents of morning dew. Let my body be your instrument, mold me and shape me to your likeness, give me new understanding where i lack. Let my voice be heard as soft whispers of your being embodying the earth. God you've given me a new reason to smile. You given me my heart back, you've given me my life back...let me bare the new fruits thereof. God you love me...infinitely and unconditionally...those are the two things i've ever wanted and needed and i now understand why love never fails, love is sincere. It is eternal, it is not tangible but felt in the deepest parts of the void of self. Lord if there is anything i could repay you with? Lord you have everything, cherubims, seraphims praising you daily yet you seek my praise and you love me despite all that praise. Despite my faults you love me, Lord what did i do to deserve all this love? I am not worthy...You alone are worthy and you alone deserve my praise. God you grace is consistant and sufficient ...therefore i will boast all the more glady in my weaknesses because you are my God. Lord open up my heart, and the chambers thereof...If i have faith that can move mountains Lord but have not love...i am nothing. God bless and surround all whom i love. Cover them with your grace and blood, surround them with your seal of protection. Open the venues of their hearts and instill peace through their days. Renew the smiles in their hearts and faces. God it is you who fills this void of self. It is your peace that surpasses all understanding and i honor and reverence you. It's in your precious son who renews life in me daily, that sweet name, Jesus I pray this prayer. Amen.

Peace

Heart to Heart

God, forgive me for the wrong i've done. Forgive me for the iniquities and infirmities that hold me back from true worship. God there are tears that want to leave my eyes but God, Your grace is sufficient. Your grace is here to comfort and open my eyes to the greater vision you have ahead. Lord you said in your word you're a jealous God and that you will not have someone being put before you. God, I messed up. I messed up my life and my walk with you, i went my own way thinking that i'd get somewhere and here i am back to square one where there is no improvement and lack of self....Lord i'm not myself. Lord I haven't been myself in so long. God renew in me joy, wash my heart of hurt and pain. Wash my thoughts of pain, wash my feet from walking into further distractions. God guard my heart and thoughts i pray.

Its in Jesus Name, Amen.

poverty in bags

im carrying bags
bags that carry written documents on paper
black ink white bodies carrying the written book of judgement
names of the holy dwelling we receive called heaven thats is only if the righteous accept the plans of the father
Father forgive the bodies that dwell in the trees
weve been uprooted from your dominion of great things
cut down into the matter where we may store greatness by letting them reap from our mistakes
bring us to nothingness
let the spindles of our hair be the veins of newer knowledge
God grant us the look
the vision to see what we do not see
live how we ought to live
for poverty awaits with bags
and i carry them
as a willful punishment
locs of dust
tattered rags of the unknown
foot embalmed in titanium
skin ash white
sleep called them to thier fate.

God what have i done with my time?

"Remember how short my time is; For what futility have You created all the children of men? Psalm 89:47

I'm thinking right now and all i can think of is time. Where has it gone? What has been done with it? Who has it been spent with? When did it come and go? and lastly Why is it so short?
God what have I done with my time? I know i've wasted it on meaningless things and meaningless desires. Everything that has crossed my path has been without meaning or has had meaning and yet i looked passed it because the picture was too great to realize to see. It has been a crazy experience for me.

God, I acknowledge You first and foremost for my very existance, the very breath in my lungs for without You i would not be or even be a preconceived thought. God there are so many things going on in this life that you've given me time to seriously look at the greater picture. God help me to see the bigger picture. Help my eyes to open and see a greater vision, open my eyes up from darkness and allow me to see. God, it is You who is the holder and keeper of my time, God open me up in my inmost parts and let me see the way and will that you have drawn up for this time. God, Forgive me of my inner iniquities and infirmities. I'm not perfect God but You require perfection of me. You require big and better things of me. You only ask for me to willingly do what You ask. God provide in me a stronger will for life and for Your will. I'm not strong enough to go on into this life empty handed and hollow hearted. God restore in me a joy, peace and love in abundance. God, it is said in your word "It is good for me that i have been afflicted, That i may learn your statutes"...it is good that i learn from these experiences called life but it is even better when i arise out of these experiences a different person. Let me be that light, that different person, that person that You've made me to be. Let my transgressions be before your throne, Lord God, do not look past them but acknowledge my faults and my hunger pains for Your words. Lord, reveal to me who i need to become in order to understand my circumstances. Lord open me up and pour out the contents of my inmost parts. Lord fill me with something new to reflect on. Something to savor upon so that I won't go far from Your will. David said ' I will praise you with my whole heart; Before the gods I will sing praises to You.' Let my song be made anew. Lord, remove the hurt and anger that i harbor in me. Lord, remove those feelings of doubt, guilt, shame, heart ache, pain, suffering, lack of zeal and hunger for life, remove from me the thoughts that never should have been implanted into my being. Open the doors for the maintenance to be done in my soul. God restore me. Search me, and know my thoughts, see if there be any wicked ways in me and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Show me to love again. God Bless all whom i have love and deep sincerity towards. Bless them in double portions in their life as well as my own. Help me to forgive those who hate me and love me. Help me to forgive those who correct me when i'm wrong. God Help me to realize where my time rests. Its in Jesus' Name where one day in his courts is better than thousands else where. Amen.

"Though i walk int he midst of trouble, you will revive me; You will stretch out Your hand Against the wrath of my enemies, And Your right hand will save me."

Psalm 138:7

..........................

God puts people into your life for an impact to be made and impression to be left, but a lot of us don't see some of these people as impacts or impressions because we get caught up. We get caught up in friendships, relationships, marriages, and everything even everyone tells us things that we should do things to change certain outcomes and certain circumstances, but we fail to realize the initial purpose God has placed them on our path. Life is a walk, that is to be nurtured first with the acceptance of God's will and secondly with acknowledgement and reverence of God's will.

It states in Psalm 16:11

You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

Along this path God has given us choices. But when we get caught up and reflect on our decisions do we remember God's will. Half of the burdens we've experienced could have been avoided if we chose God's will...just by simply asking. But Glory be to God. God is not a traditional god, but a god of new route and new life.

John 10:10

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

God is so good, and this why i'm grateful. For the little blessings as well as the big.

1 Peter 4:11

"If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen."

His work is never done.

Lord, I thank you for this opportune time that you have provided me a mission in which I must complete due to Your will. Lord if it wasn't for Your unfailing love i dont know where id be or where id go when i seek true refuge. God i acknowledge You for being the strength in the midst of the storm, i acknowledge You as a greater weight in the fiber of my bones. For in your word you asked a prophet "Son of man, can these bones live?" and he responded "O Sovereign Lord, you alone know." God you alone know my todays and tomorrows. You alone know my years to come. and it is only by your grace and mercy that i see these days. Lord forgive me for my trespasses and mine iniquities and infirmities. Transform and renew the right spirit in me. with this task you've placed in my hands God you alone know what is to come and to pass. God with your will and might may i do all that you've asked of me. Its in Jesus name where things spring forth greater hope. Amen.

the 17th chapter of John, Jesus prays for Three things which tie into out daily walk. but ive noticed 2 significant things that a lot of us tend to do, we pray for ourselves more so than anyone else or we tend to pray for everyone else more so than ourselves. But if you notice Jesus prays for three things...Himself, those that will carry on His work and finally those that will accept the benefits of His work as their own...this is a simple but the most effective plan.

so the lesson is:
pray 4 urself.
"Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you....i have brought glory on earth by completing the work that you gave me to do"-John 17:1-4

pray for the people to carry on His work(church, pastor, etc.)
"Now they know that everything you have given comes from you... Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name--the name you gave me--so that they may be one as we are one" John 17: 7 & 11b.

pray for those that will come to accept( the calling, new believers, etc)
"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message,...I in them you in me. May the be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you loved me." John 17: 20 & 23

Lord i pray for myself your word made it clear through your example through Christ. Let the fruits of my life testify along with you. i pray for the people who you've chosen before time began to do your work. let us do your work to our full potential. and lastly i pray for those that come to accept your message. i pray that their hearts may not be hardened nor troubled when the find refuge in you...some trust in men others trust in chariots but we will trust in the Lord our God....Lord i pray for caleb n all whom you opened my mind to Let your words be my words...its in Jesus name where i let Him have his way. Amen.

I think therefore I am...nothing.

"Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many of you were influential; not many of you were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of this world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of this world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and despised things--and the things that are, so that no one may boast before him." - 1 Corinthians 1: 26-29

This is the first time in a while since i've read my bible and this is the first thing i came across. today i found out three things that made me numb yet nonchalant. my uncle's vision is at 10% in both of his eyes, my aunt is stressed and now is losing her hair, and lastly my cousin is going through a period of depression due to the fact that she can't speak to her mom about anything.

I Praise you God for who you are sincerely, despite the words and emotions that may cause me to go these routes in life, my family members go through these things but God your using me to shed a light upon people of your goodness.

God calls us to recognize something within ourselves...we are dust. it speaks in the book of Ecclesiastes 3:20" All go to the same place; all come from the dust, and to the dust all return." it was God in the book of Genesis who "breathed into his nostrils the breath of life". we must come to terms that if it wasnt for God our existence would be null and void.

these verses are a testimony, God removed us out of our circumstances, out of our lifestyles, out of those troublesome ways to help us to realize we need not be proud or want to be exalted for our mistakes, or our present circumstances...there is no reason to boast God covers us with His love. His love for us that endures forever gives us a reason to boast about Him to the people. I am not ashamed to say God is good. I am not ashamed to say i pray and go to church. i am not ashamed of God. it's His love that pushes me forward.

"Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away." -1 Corinthians 13:8

"Hatred stirs up dissension but love covers all sins"-Proverbs 10:12

God, i thank You for this time of reflection. I thank you for everything you've done in my life to teach me about life itself, its meanings teachings and values. God i just pray that all may recognize who You are. God forgive me of all my transgressions and iniquities, infirmities alike. i realize that without You i have no reason to be proud what am i to gain with the pride of life? Let the angels of heaven exalt you for you alone are worthy of my Praise. Jesus let you light hibernate within us. Its in Jesus name where all things are made whole.Amen
