Jesus died...that's love

Jesus went
to calvary
To save the rest
like you and me
That’s love

They hung him high
They stretched him wide
He hung his head
For me He died
That’s love

That’s not how
the story ends
‘Cos in three days
He rose again
That’s love



......................................................................................................
this is just a snippet from a love medley by God's chosen. The words ministered to me and It kinda summarises what Easter is about- The Love of Christ...
He went through so much for us while we were still sinners and so undeserving...His love knows no bounds.We can't even begin to comprehend it's depth!

Stay blessed y'all..Have a great Easter and Spread the Love of Christ.

Lies

I told a lie, one small tiny lie.
What I knew, I said I did not know
And now I carry it with me all the time
Hoping to grow old with it but it eats at my bones.

One lie became two, three, four
Guilt plastered on my face
Heavy on my shoulders; a stench to abhor
This lie is in control, I’ve lost my place.

Now several lies have been told
My life, my actions are all lies
My heart has now become stone cold,
I see in black and white, no more green grass or blue sky.

Unfortunately, the end came too soon.
I thought I would stop but that was just in my mind,
Each lie proved a useful tool.
I became the source of pain to many, all because of a lie?

.........................................................................................................
There's really no reason to lie, it causes a lot of pain and for the person doing the lieing- it causes phsycological stress. when the 'end' comes - that is the time when you get caught- it may be too late to rectify the damage already done..And then you finally ask yourself: why did i even lie in the first place??
It's a new year so don't begin with lies. Have a wonderful year ahead!x

Nineteen

Reminiscing on the times
When I was a little girl.
The tight black curls,
The beginning of the upward climb.

Then like everything must,
That little girl changed.
Like the green of the favourite dress faded
Childishness slowly ebbed away.

There were days when I played in the rain
And others I had to allay pain.
I managed all the roles,
Both young and old.

A little more fun and adventure,
High school was hard work.
A greater responsibility; a risky venture
Having friends for life was an added perk!

My life came to a pause,
I felt stuck on a spot.
In the attempt to find myself,
I discovered God in a greater depth.

Now, I’m a living work-in-progress
With a touch of brilliance.
Coming together are the puzzle pieces;
It’s another day for me to rejoice and be glad!

I'm soooooooooo happy, it's another year in my life! I am grateful to God for everything. He has brought me a long way and I wrote this just to commemorate my journey so far...and in case you are wondering..I really am just 19!....happy birthday to me..lol

Prisoner of pride

Huge head. Big ego.
Nose raised to the air
Refusing to ask for help.
All by your self,
Struggling in despair
Fooled by the lie-decorated lair
Your strong façade; a hopeless affair.

Haughtiness in quintessence,
Totally absorbed in your self
Suddenly you think you are of the essence.

No complete understanding of tomorrow
Nor an appreciation for today
Borrowing people and after use, away they go.
You forget that every dog will have its day.

Boasting in ignorance,
Blinded by the expanse of your empire,
Encapsulated in your narrow, diminished mind
You fail to see you are a prisoner of pride.

Hey everyone! i know i haven't updated in ages..i was looking for inspiration.lol

This poem is about pride (bad pride not the self-confidence type of pride), the sort of pride people show when they look down on others and think they are the world..it's all about them!

Pride goes before a fall says the Bible..but pride can also be a prison a cage that looks you in for so long..it's invisible so you don't realise but it's there!

Humility is definitely the way to go. Stay blessed people!!!
