In praising I see
Beauty beyond compare
In thanking I see
Joy enough to share
In praying I see
Calm so resolute
In loving I see
Power that’s absolute

Storm
In the silence of the morning
Staring out my window
Sun shining down the pavement
Too calm for my own enjoymentA knock shook me out of my daze
Walking to the front door
Something inside me twist in pain
Why did it feel it’s gonna rainI run against the wind
Rain against my face
Reaching out to you
Calling out your nameInside folded primly like a napkin
Words staring back at me
The sun turned black I couldn’t see
How can you leave, how can this bePushed against the wall in my bedroom
I gasped for air to breathe
Just last night you said we’ll be forever
What changed your mind to up and leaveI run against the wind
Rain against my face
Reaching out to you
Calling out your nameThis whirlwind romance I do not understand
I fell too quickly now I’m dropped like a bomb
You with your perfect smile left like a perfect storm
Now I’m drenched and clueless, where did I go wrongI run against the wind
Rain against my face
Reaching out to you
Calling out your name©djklmnopi 12.04.14 15:06

Hurt? Hope.
Whenever we are tired and hurt, our response often is to hide, to run away, to deny, to turn around, to be cast down. To feel hurt is okay, it makes us human, it evidently shows we have a heart and we can feel. It is good to feel – it is our check and balance in life. To feel tired, to feel offended, to feel hurt.
It is also good to know that every time we hurt, every time that we want to scream and ask ‘why?’, every time we feel there’s no way out and we’re pushed to the wall – it’s wonderful to know we have this hope, a real hope, the light at the end of the tunnel, we have God.
Jeremiah is one of the prophets I love reading about. Jeremiah lived through the horror of the exile and he saw God’s hand in the salvation of the Jews from exile. He saw how the people of Israel has disobeyed God and He saw God’s mercy towards them. He was a part of that twisted and disobedient generation yet He held firm to what he know about God. He is someone who knows God and therefore He understands God and He knows that no matter what, even when physically he’s tired and mentally he’s exhausted, Jeremiah still put his hope in the God he knows – the God of mercy and of love.
We may go through deep waters, we may be exhausted with life’s problems, (more…)

Pity and Love
I witnessed God this morning, along a major road in the metro. A guy helped an old man cross the big street. The old man has his one foot wrapped in cloths and a plastic. After crossing, the guy sat the old man by the bus stop then proceeded to get something from his backpack. He produced the crackers he had inside and gave it to the old man before going along his way.
It made my day, to see an angel, to witness Jesus in the metro, in the rush of cars and commuters, this scene was highlighted to me.
And I realize, we all feel pity. It’s our emotional response to situations we encounter wherein we find ourselves better off than the other. Pity, for me, is just that – an emotional response and often we leave it at that. It is LOVE that drives pity to do something other than feel sorry. It is Love that gives the push to act, to do something about it.
Thank You for this revelation. ❤️

My Heart Sings
There’s a song that my heart is singing
A song that gives my life meaning
Shouts of joy so overwhelming
Praises I raise to the Almighty BeingOnce in darkness I was wandering
Lost, confused, kept on stumbling
Caught on dead ends and cliff-hangings
Uncertain future that keeps evaporatingA voice so still, I heard it calling
Red droplets from above keep falling
A light from faint to bright keeps glowing
My feet, towards it, start movingSunshine never felt so inviting
Flowers never smelled as pleasing
Hope never been solid and enduring
‘Til that fateful day my Saviour caught meSo my heart will keep rejoicing
Until the day of my Saviour’s coming
I will bask in the light of His mercy
And of His passion, of His love for me.02.06.14 09:35 ©djklmnopi

Balance and Priorities
How do you tell which one should be on top of your priority list? I am seriously asking, just, how do you decide? What considerations do you make to know which one should be first?
I always go for my gut feel or indulge myself to what I want, which I know isn’t the best thing to do, cos often, what I want isn’t what I need to do. I want to sleep but I need to finish a work, for example… what I’d do – I’d sleep! ((: I’m sure I’ll get enough time for work, I do not have enough time for sleep. My reasoning!
It took me quite a while to learn to ask the right questions and to weigh stuff so I can prioritise well. Not rightly or correctly because there isn’t a right or correct way, in my opinion, on how priorities should be set. We are a diverse set of people, we have different needs, different wants, different sets of thinking. But whenever I am really caught in a dilemma and the (more…)

Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping…
Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together. For the pillars of the temple stand apart, and the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.
~ Khalil Gibran -
Grace
Grace is love that seeks you out when you have nothing to give in return. Grace is love coming at you that has nothing to do with you. Grace is being loved when you are unlovable.

If I Can … Maybe I Will
If I can make you smile
I’d like to say it’ll make my day
But your smile only lend my tears delayIf I can make you laugh
I’d like to say they’re music to my ears
But your laughter won’t stop my tearsIf I can make this world any better
If I can make people peaceful to each other
If only I can make you see better
If only I can, maybe I can, maybe I will08.19.14 13:58
