BUILD US BACK



Most of us have stories that go something like, “I used to be….then I don’t know what happened but now it’s all gone.”
Maybe what you used to be was happy, bold, optimistic, successful (depending on what success means to you), friendly or whatever it is that made life one or two or countless levels more beautiful than it is now.

We all have a past. This has been said countless times, especially in reference to a not so glamorous past but the truth is for some it was a beautiful one. One that we spend every sunrise wishing for. One that we would probably give just about anything to have back. We look at who we are right now and wonder what went wrong. We repent for sins we do not know that may have brought us to this point.
Inasmuch as we understand that life has seasons, whenever winter surfaces we tend to whine. We go through it feeling like it’s the end of our lives. It’s okay to feel hurt. However, in the midst of our turmoil we ought to remember that there is hope.
When the thief takes, when our hopes cave
You build us back, You build us back
When the earth shakes, when the world breaks
You build us back, You build us back

We have a God who is able to restore all that we have lost and so much more on top of that. When things fall apart let us hold on to this hope- that no matter how long it takes and how much it hurts, He will restore. Joy will come in the morning.
“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
-John 10:10(NKJV)

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

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
