LIMP...


For all have sinned and fell short of the Glory of God, that's what the Bible says. It however does not say so with no sign of hope. We are again told that if we confess our sins, our Father in heaven is just and will forgive us.
I'm tired, broken, innocence stolen
And I know I'm a different man
See life hits and life hurts
Think Ihave seen some of life's worst

But you've been here so you understand
See I fell and I broke something
But I couldn't tell 'cause I kept running
Away from your love and grace
So my trips and my pains, my failures
They only makeme desparate to seek your face

Yeah, the devil hoped that this injury would make me stop and take defeat
But I know Jesus walks with me
So I'll just keep on walking with my limp

This walk ain't smooth and no one should lie to you that it is a walk in the park. We were saved when we accepted Christ but transformation and renewal is an everyday process. Today we may get it right yet tomorrow we might miss a sign here and there. These are just effects of the human nature and we ought to choose to keep moving even with the our imperfection.
I have been learning about perfection and why God would ask us to be perfect and Holy just as He is yet we are limited in our bodies. I have come to realise it is not about being perfect with no scar or broken bones but perfect even with scars and broken bones. Yes we may have missed it but we can go back and fix it because God has given us the grace to learn and endure even in a corrupted world.
I'm imperfect, so I slipped up
And I had my heart ripped up
But You're the lifter of my head (of my head)
So, please come and please heal
How I think and how I feel
And I'll live by what You said
And You said
 Heavy laden come to me
The sick, the flawed, the lame, the weak
And I'll be everything you need
So I'll just keep on walking with my limp... 

So hey, it is well. Grace says you are well because He who is greater dwells in you. You may be flawed but you have been graced for when you are weak then you are strong. Rest in love. It will perfect you by casting out all your fears and though you may be limping, at least you are moving...

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...

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
