I CAN'T SAVE MYSELF

Many people use this phrase this days,"I'm a work in progress". Sometimes we just say it to get out of a mistake without much argument or just to console ourselves when we feel as if we have fallen short of someone's or our own expectations. This is not a wrong phrase to use but the question is, on whose hands is your molding taking place?
Image result for images of helplessnessI have been told to work on myself over and over again. I have been asked to change the way I do this and that or try and be this or that and all that has ever done is pull me back or slow me down. The pressure makes you want to hide. The strength to be better is overwhelming especially you are not feeling up to the standards being laid down for you. We always want people to be better. We always want them to understand or just live up to our expectations. Here is another question, are you allowing them to be shaped in God's will or are you just making them move in the direction you think is right?
We fall and we always will at some point in our lives. We will always have people disappointing us or over expecting things from us. However, there is a love that shapes us in righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
No one can accuse me of not trying
To make the most of this hand I've been dealt
No one can accuse me of not trying
To move past the pain and fear I've felt
Turned out in the end, of all my best attempts
Can never keep my weary heart from drowning
Image result for images of i can't save myselfI cant save myself, I cant save myself
Coming to my rescue is what you do so well
And when my strength has failed
The story I will tell
Is how your love refused to leave on my own
When I couldn't save myself
The song writer of these song describes it so plainly that I always feel like I am the one telling God these words. It is not easy to let go of the wheel and let God drive. Sometimes we want to be a backseat driver in our own lives and in the lives of those we are connected to. It is not wrong to have a concern and address it but even so it is not our job to make us perfect. We have to let God direct, drive and dictate the speed. For He who started the good work in our lives is faithful to bring it into completion.

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.

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.

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...

WHO DO YOU SAY I AM?

One day Jesus asked his disciples who people said he was, (Mathew 16:13-20) . They went ahead and listed what other people thought he was. Then Jesus asked who the disciples thought he was, and Peter replied, "The Messiah, the Son of the Living God." Jesus went ahead and declared a blessing over Peter for knowing whom He was. Mark this however, he told him that this was not revealed to him by flesh and blood. Nilitoka njia ya Bingu nilikoitwa mimi (I have left the heavenly way)

OF HONEST PRAYERS...

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
