NOT MINE BUT YOUR WILL

negromanosphere.com

What births my ambitions?
What brings forth the picture of my future?
What motivates my plans?
What is the anchor of my life's ship?
Is it my past...
Those facts that are really not facts but are tucked into my brain because...
He said... She said... They said...
And now it defines my being

Is it the cares...
The worries of this life that make me too afraid to handle any other downpour of events that test my strength
Or it may be the wants...
The long for a satisfaction
An entire calculation of needs
A combination of my own and of the people I hold dear
And now I see this will... desire... ambition...
How corrupt and contaminated it is
Full of selfish gain at its end
What value is it to add to the people that look up to me
Physical value? Well that will perish
Not that it is wrong to have it all
But what is it that is all we really need?
Christ prayed for the will of the Father to be done
And His will brought peace, life... made dreams come alive
His will saved a creation that knew no portion of His love for them 
His will made a fallen being have life through the risen Christ
And now I see how of no value my will really is
And I I allow God to work in me to will and to act according to His good purpose
Phillipians 2:13
Then His will will consume my will and fill me with a desire that accomplishes my purpose and out pours His riches on the earth... 
And His will is then my will

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
