Facing Hard Truths

I remember when I was young and thought all sorts of religions and belief systems would ultimately lead us to God. Listening to a morning devotion through an application on my phone called “Glorify” reminded me of this bias in the world.

In the Bible, Jesus unequivocally declares, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). His life, death, and resurrection are understood to be the ultimate revelation of God’s love and grace. Faith in Jesus is the only means of reconciliation with God and eternal life.

In the vast expanse where shadows roam,
A voice echoes, clear as a bell’s tone.
“I am the way, the truth, the life,” it cries,
Guiding souls through darkness to brighter skies.

Through valleys deep and mountains high,
This truth endures.
With unwavering faith, we take each step,
In His love and mercy, we find our depth.

Let his guiding light make you whole.
For in Him alone, true freedom lies,
“I am the way, the truth, the life,” He cries.

Trust The Journey

Life can be a rollercoaster of emotions and experiences, with its fair share of challenges and uncertainties. Sometimes, it feels like the burden of the world is on your shoulders, and you wonder if things will ever get better.

In those moments, stepping back from the situation and remembering that everything will be okay is essential. Take a deep breath and reassure yourself to trust the journey and know that there’s light at the end of the tunnel.

Tears from my Heart

I falter and cry,
I yearn hard for the light,
I hold my breath for direction,
Behold, seek, and find.
Yet I run far.

Oh, what if I falter and fail,
Beneath the weight of the disguise?
The burden of potential unveiled,
Leaving me paralyzed.

But deep within, a spark resides,
A yearning for the joy concealed.
To embrace the journey that abides,
And uncover the treasures revealed.

The light still calls to me,
Tempting me to set my fear aside.
Eradicating the intimidation
With a new resolve and a hopeful heart,

The joy that awaits me,
The darkness once seemed so cruel,
But now I see it as my guide.
For in the depths of the darkness,
I discover my purpose, my pride.

Current Hardships in the World

My heart burns.
Beaming light, turning grey.
Into ashes, I wonder if there’s hope.
I yearn for that light,
the beauty once revealed.

In case you haven’t noticed, the world is experiencing some of its toughest challenges and difficulties. From the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic to climate change to increasing inequality and social injustice, the world is experiencing hardship on many fronts. That’s not all my friends. There have been other challenges, such as technological Change and Digital Divide, Political and Geopolitical Issues, and the one that bothers me more is increased job insecurity and uncertainty.

In times of hardship
and difficulties abound
Let us encourage one another
and stand strong and proud.

Even in darkness
we can share a light
The world may be clouded
but our hearts can still shine bright.

I’m starting to wonder what the future holds for us. Which one disturbs you more, and guess what? We are survivors, and we have to keep moving. God hasn’t given up on us, so why should we give up on anything we believe in? Quite frankly, sometimes, I wake up with this ugly feeling of uncertainty in my heart. I ask myself if the world is ending gradually, and If that’s the case, it will end with me standing strong.

Let us lift each other up
and lend a helping hand
Reminding one another
that we can stand together as a band

And when the sun rises again
and spring’s sweet flowers bloom
Let us greet the new day
with joy and love anew.
