Through It All



 
      It helps most times to take a moment to reflect so far on the life you have lived.Time away from all the stress, pressures and demands and see how you have fared even in the darkest of times and realized that if God was not on your side, you would have been greatly destroyed.
 
     We find conflict when try to take God out of the picture and reply on our own strength or wits. Man in his natural self is not designed to handle life or go through this earth by himself or without divine help. You are who you are because God loves you and there is always going to be a better tomorrow when we surrender all to Him.

       For the fact you wake up everyday is a sign that God still believes in your tomorrow. So do not give up on God because He has not given up on you.




                                   Through It All
      You picked me up when I was nothing, broken, battered and bruised.
      You picked me up from the gutter and held me close like a mother would hold a child,
      With all the silent love and happiness unfathomable.


      You cleaned me, healed my broken pieces and my wounds. 
      Washed me clean and called me yours.
      I found delight and joy spending time with you.

      But days and seasons came when I decided to walk away and far away did I drift off.
      I left everything and most of all I left You.

      By needs and wants was I surrounded about like a thick smoke and I could hardly breathe.  
      Lost again, not knowing where to turn to. 
      But Your grace found me. 
      Your love made a path for me in the mist of everything to return to You once again.

      Out in the light, I saw my true state, broken once again. 
      All You did was hold me even closer.
      How can I ever repay this debt of love that takes words right out of my lips.
      In reference I will worship you and in Your Holy presence will I dwell.
      I am nothing without you and everything with you.

    
Hope you enjoyed this little poem? The truth is, as humans we need  help and true help comes from the Creator of the heavens and the earth....Jehovah Almighty is His name. Let Him guide you, let Him love you and let Him give you His peace this world can never give.


Have a beautiful Wednesday and a lovely week ahead. To my Nigerian family: Happy Independence Bless
