PIECES

A friend of mine likens life to the whole art of computer programming- how we love to see a beautiful well designed website but the codes used in the process of designing are a mass of complicated figures most of us can't even decipher. That's how we are- perfect smiles, saying all the right things, always getting up, dressing up and showing up to wherever we are needed. Yet more often than not, whatever is going on within is a
huge mess of things we do not want anyone to see- which is quite alright because imagine a world where everyone is telling everyone else everything about themselves.😄😄
The problem comes in when we go to God with the same mindset- When we go to Him thinking we have to have it all together because He just might decide He doesn't feel like loving us any more. So here we are and our prayers are full of memorized words we do not even mean and we sing songs that we don't believe in any more and keep making sure we get every religious deed right when the truth is that nothing makes sense any more.

Give Him your wounds, your bruised and broken pieces
All your questions all your secrets-
You don't have to hide who you are
You belong to Someone Greater
than all your past mistakes and failures.
Rest in who He is
He knows how to make your pieces fit.

In Christ we find relief. When we give our all to Him, He makes sense out of it. He connects us with people we can be real with and He makes us who we are meant to be. So whether your pieces are so easy to put together or they are so messed up you can't even remember which one belongs where, just carry them to Him. In His arms you are safe.

Song: Pieces
Artist: Meredith Andrews

ABIDE WITH ME

Photo from youtube.com This post is not for one who got it under control. This post is not for you who thinks you have to do a number of things to get God's attention. This post is not for one who already has a list of this years resolution and is willing to make everything work. This one today is for you who only knows that God is with you and that is all that matters. One who is aware of the new year but still has a junk of the previous years trying to weigh them down.

YOU NEVER LEAVE ME

Umeahidi ewe Bwana huniachi (You have promised oh Lord that you never leave me) Hadi mwisho wa dahari ulisema huniachi (To the end of ages you said, you will not leave me) Wewe ni Mungu uliye mwaminifu siku zote (You always a faithful God) Mimi ninaiweka Imani yangu kwako Bwana (I put my faith on you Lord) Today I just sat down and remembered the faithfulness of the Lord. These are the wings I needed to soar with in this new month.

PEOPLE

We all care. Most of us like to say we do not really care what anyone thinks about us but truth is that deep down we really do. It's just that some of us have slowly been sucked into approval addiction while some have gradually realized that it really shouldn't matter that much so we try not to let others' opinions sway us. All the same, even those of us who claim not to care actually want everyone to believe that we are unmoved by their opinions so really, it's a big deal. 123rf.com They are the best and the worst you've created Loving and hating and opinionated Loners in basements and those congregated Deliver me... Far from the peace, from ashore I was sinking Deep in the ocean of thoughts they were thinking Don't know what  validation I was seeking Deliver me from... I believe there's nothing wrong with caring about opinions. Because sometimes we're able to change our lives' direction for the better because we listened t

REMEMBER

Image
Sometimes things go dark. So dark that life ceases to make sense... Sometimes things go wrong and just when we think they can't get any worse they actually do... Sometimes we get weak...or as we like to say, life happens. This song, I believe, is for those times when life happens. Because those are the times we are prone to forget the truth we very much proclaim to know. Those  are the times we question our faith in God, we question His love for us, we question the very Words we so clearly heard Him speak to us. This song is a reminder to never forget in the darkness what we know to be true in the light. Cheta, Cheta (remember, remember)

OF HONEST PRAYERS...

Image
We've heard it said countless times that when it comes to talking to God, there's no sort of perfect way to it. What matters most is the state of our hearts.  A broken and contrite heart- these, He will not despise. A good number of people say music gets them through pretty much everything. The truth is that music is powerful. However there have been times in my life when nothing made sense. When I say nothing I mean even the songs that would normally be very helpful were simply just nicely arranged words with a melody. I would be in so much turmoil that I’d think of the times when one song or the other lifted my spirit and wonder what changed. Saviour please, take my hand
