Facing Hard Truths

Leave a comment

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.

Timeless Beauty of Eternal Love

2 Comments

In a world of constant change and uncertainty, many people find comfort in the stability of God’s love. While human love can be fleeting, God’s love is everlasting, transcending all time and space. Finding comfort and refuge in God’s eternal love yields peace and purpose.

In my heart, I yearn for strength,
To shield me from the raging demons.
Yet inside my heart
resides Christ’s pure love.
A beacon shining brightly
to encapsulate and free me.

Love that never fails,
guiding me through dark desires.
I found refuge in Christ’s love.
Embracing love that knows no end,
Love that persists, unshakeable, and genuine.

The concept of God’s eternal love is central to the faith. In the Bible, particularly in Romans 8:38-39, which states: “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” It is a love that knows no bounds, limitations, or conditions. It is a love that has existed for all of time and will continue to exist for all eternity.

Release From Darkness​

23 Comments

When love turns sour

the memories become dark

until the bitterness is no longer felt.

When I realized it was time for me to move on, he came back to tell me how bad he felt about the way he treated me; he said he didn’t know how blind he was until he lost me but now he has found me.

I’ve been so agitated about this situation where he “the werewolf” roared away so full of pride with my heart and came back after so long with it in his hands drained of blood and turning black already, and I kept asking myself how to take my heart back from him and put it where it was before.

However, as soon as he left me in pain and despair back then, he also gave me the gift of hatred which I kept well packaged for him. But over time my heart got filled with newness, youthfulness, and love by another and I thrashed the ugly, sealed packaged.

That was when I gave him the beauty of his act written as a poem which held inscribed words of how he led me by his dark side to where I found peace and heart renewal.

Healing Myself

22 Comments

I’ve been standing on the

treacherous terrain far too long

Been falling in the shallow

But you’ve been there

Pointing me in direction.

I’ve been roaming aimlessly

lost in the darkness

Falling behind.

 The shooting stars

took me on a journey

until I found myself on the other side.

On the hunt for recovery

I found no one to put me on therapy

Then I searched within

And discovered the therapist was me

healing me from inside.

Your Ideal Partner

16 Comments

Destination unknown to reality

Taking me into the depths

of happiness hiding in the darkness.

When the wind drives you in a direction uncertain to you, you wonder why you keep moving along without control; you try as much as possible to fight it but end up in the same path and that’s when you realize that love can take you through different phases in life you least expect.

If you belong to the group of people that make a list of the ideal man or woman they prefer to date, trust me you will end up with no one for a long time. Hence if faith is on your side, you will meet your lover contrary to the list you made up and regardless of how much you remind yourself of your ideal partner, you will keep falling back into the hands of this person who you tag as the unideal lover. So relax and allow faith to take charge and when it happens, accept it and you will discover a better person for you than your ideal partner.
