REMIND ME...



We forget a lot, don't we?
Picture this.
nydailynews.com

You are in campus. It's one day to exams and you still don't have your exam card. Reason?  Your school fee has not been cleared. Your parents have tried all they can to raise the money and now they have run out of options.
Afraid, you go to whoever is in charge and explain your situation. To your surprise, you are allowed to sit for exams despite not having cleared your school fees.

Or maybe there was a time you woke up with no will to live yet so much to do. You didn't think you could even manage to get out of bed but somehow you made it through the day. And it wasn't one of those situations where you had to drag yourself through everything -you did everything excellently.
Perhaps on a certain day you were feeling so worthless and someone said or did something that reminded you how precious you are.
Only God can make such things happen. But for some reason whenever things seem to be going downhill we are masters of forgetfulness.
We forget how God got us through every single moment and fret over everything and anything. We question Him and try to justify ourselves. We try to make Him see how  "good " people like us surely do not deserve to go through some situations. Sometimes we even try to fix the situations using our own means.
We forget that He got us through fire and floods. That His strength is made perfect in our weaknesses. That no matter how bad it gets He promised to never leave and He never breaks a promise.
How I pray that God would teach us to fully trust in Him. That whenever we feel like there is no more light He will remind us just how faithful He has always been.

Nikumbushe wema wako nisije laumu

(Remind me of Your goodness that I may not lay blame)

Nikumbushe Ukuu wako wakati wa magumu

(Remind me of your greatness in times of difficulty)

Nikumbushe shuhuda zako ili nikusifu

(Remind me of your works that I may praise you)

Niimbe wimbo wa sifa katikati ya machozi.

(That I may sing a song of praise in the midst of tears)

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
