HELP ME MAINTAIN

Hmmm...
You see me moving all the needed people out my life
And am trying to get these crazy thoughts out of my mind...
Yeah, You gave me all the weapons... but it's still a fight
So help me maintain
Help me maintain


I don't wanna live in stress or fear
Cuz its getting crazier... everyday out here
All the love and peace you gave to me... I hold so dear
So help me maintain
Help me maintain


Have you ever woken up to a great day and you are like, "Yes!! This looks like its going to be an awesome one,"but the first person you interact with seems like he or she is on a very different?

Or you were like, "Today is the day I get all that work done or finally we will be through with this and that," but unfortunately the other person that you are totally not in control of doesn't have such enthusiasm? It really sucks or at least it can make one just change from the good mood in a twinkle of an eye. Sometimes it really draws frustrations and then anger gets a chance then the devil gets a loophole to make you dance to his beat.
For me I really hate negativity. I hate it when all someone sees is the bad side and does not even suggesting solutions. Positive criticism is totally fine but a complaining heart makes me want to flee. I have been the one on the other side and I've seen how stagnant one can remain if all you do is complain and do nothing about it. I made it a habit to run from such environments at least or wisely change the perspective with the help of the Holy Spirit.
However, it does not mean that everyone else is also willing to make the changes that you are making in order to make life better. We do our part to grow individually and the devil knows that. Like a recovering addict who keeps coming across his former gang members and has to keep saying no. It is not easy.

We all have a past. Whether you were born saved or not there is that part of you called the flesh that always calls for attention. The bible clearly says that if we work in the Spirit we will not gratify the desires of the flesh. Walking in the Spirit is clearly walking in the constant knowledge of Christ going ahead of you, walking beside you and watching your back. Grace all around. That's the only way one can maintain peace in a world that advocates for violence. Never think you are already strong enough to maintain on your own. Call Jesus to help you maintain. The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous run into it and they are saved.
 I recognize this is a day that You have made
So I walk in love and put a smile... on my face
But in case I run into someone on a different page
Help me maintain
Help me maintain
 Cuz soon... as... I... walk out the door
I need... You... more... and... more

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...

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
