To You…

engaged-engagement-jewelery-love-marriage-Favim.com-426959

I think about you all the time;

What you look like, how you are

Where you are, and if

You think about me.

I look forward to the day we meet.

I dream about me being in

Your embrace, how our

Lips will care for one another, and

How we will travel the world together.

I may not know you yet, but

I can’t wait ’til we meet

And spend together forever…

Never Let Go

My Lord holds my hand,

As I live through life.

I walk through a crowd of

Everything and everyone surrounding me.

Few are of delight, while others seem to frighten me.

I tremble, fearing how I may be snatched away;

Physically or emotionally.

All the while I forget my Lord is

Right beside me, holding my hand.

Surrounded by this crowd, which is the world,

I will never let go of my Lord’s hand.

I will always look to my Lord

So I may never be swept in the same direction,

And lost without a home.

I will never let go of my Lord’s hand.

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me,is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.” John 10:27-29

Empty Cravings

There is an emptiness that

Fills us once in a while.

We feel that something is missing,

But we don’t know what.

We began to crave what the

World views as “success”.

We began to want others to

Look at us, too.

We start to work

Harder and harder, just to

Be on top.

We over think,

We are unhappy,

We try to be like others,

And we become sad with

Our lives.

Don’t let this craving rule over you.

It is a dangerous crave.

When you began to feel

Empty and worthless,

Pray.

God will give you the power to be

Satisfied with your life, and the craving will go away.

It’s going to take time, but you will soon see

That you will have joy no matter what happens.

You will understand that

The craving was empty and not fulfilling.

And you will be glad that

You now crave a relationship with God,

Instead of unhappiness.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be made known to God; and the peace which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Christ Jesus.” Phil. 4:6-7

Ourselves

We all have these days. We feel like we are worth nothing, no one will ever know who we are, and we aren’t the perfect image the media would like for us to be. We’re either too dark or too light. We’re not skinny enough or we’re too skinny. Our hair isn’t long enough or our hair is too long. We’re too short or too tall.  We don’t look like him or her, and we wish we could be him or her.

Like I said, we all have days when we feel like this. But like my mom tells me, “Don’t let your emotions lead you.” Which means, we shouldn’t let the way we feel at the moment have the final say of how our day, or life should turn out. If you can change something, change it because you want to, or because you want to try something new. Not because you hate yourself or because the media doesn’t approve of you. And if you can’t, pray and ask God to help you love the way He created you to be.

When you began to feel sad or depressed because of how you look, just remember what God says about you, “…For I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works and that my soul knows very well.” Psalm 139:14

Everthing

We crave everything in the world. We want fame, love, money, houses, cars, friends, and more. When we finally have all of those things, we ask ourselves, “I have everything…but why do I still feel empty?”

And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?” Mark 8:36

Words

You should watch what you say,

And think before you speak.

What you say has an

Impact on your life, and other’s.

What you say about someone,

Or even yourself, could possibly

Come true.

You may say, “I was just joking.”,

Well…the enemy wasn’t.

The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.” Proverbs 18:21

Stormy Ocean

Just because we may not struggle the same, does not mean I don’t struggle at all. Just because I’m a disciple of Christ doesn’t mean I don’t face curiosity, temptation, doubts, fears, worries, confusion, etc. The only difference between you and me is that I have Christ to say “Peace be still” (Mark 4:39), and to teach and guide me when there’s a storm in my spirit. And guess what? So can you.
