The dream is fading, now I'm staring at the door
I know its over cause my feet have hit the cold floor
Check my reflection, I ain't feelin what I see
It's no mystery
Whatever happened to a passion I could live for?
What became of the flame that made me feel more?
And when did i forget that...
I was made to love You
I was made to find You
I was made just for You
Made to adore You
I was made to love
And be loved by You
You were here before me
You were waiting on me
And you said you'd keep me
Never would you leave me
I was made to love
and be loved by You
The dream's alive with my eyes opened wide
Back in the ring You've got me swinging for the grand prize
I feel the haters is spittin vapors on my dreams
But I still believe
I'm reachin out, reachin up, reachin over
I feel a breeze cover me called Jehovah
And Daddy I'm on my way
Cause I was made to love...
I was made to love You
I was made just for you Made to adore you
I was made to love and be loved by you
You were here before You were waiting on me
And you said you'd keep
Me never would you leave
I was made to love and be loved by you
Anything I would give up for You
Everything, I'd give it all away
(Repeat 3x)
I was made to love You, I was made to love You
I was made to love You, I was made to find you
I was made to love You, Made just for You
I was made to love You, Made just for You
I was made to love You, Made just for You
I was made to love You, I will love by you

Do you?
I was just thinking of this song I wrote some years back. For some reason it came ringing in my head. Okay, sing with me,
Thank you Jesus for your blood at calvary,
Thank you God for your Son Jesus,
Thank you for everything You have done,
Were it not for your blood at calvary,
Surely hell would be mine,
But through your unfailing love you rescued me.
Oh I live my Jesus (Mmmh)
Oh I love my savior (Mmmh)
When I remember your ordeal with the Jews
When I remember the cross episode,
I will never turn back to sin,
Ive made my mind to follow Jesus,
Ive made my mind to persue righteousness
All the days of my life
As this words rung in my mind, I suddenly felt the depth of the words. I remember i wrote the song at around easter, with the crucifixion mood all over. Now at this point i ask myself, what exactly was the cross episode? Figure the six inch nail driving through the arms of the Great I am. Figure the pain on His face, hear Him telling God to lift the cup of Him if it was possible...Hear the cry ringing through the air.....My God why have you forsaken Me. It certainly was not a circus, no games were being played and certainly there was no jovial mood then.
And what was the ordeal with the Jews, Oh no..... I never looked forward to six of the best in my school days. I worked hard to remain a good boy, not to please my father but to make sure that the cane never left its storage corner. I can figure out the strokes of the whips my Savior had...if the passion of the Christ movie is anything to go by....Jesus I hope you still don't have the marks to date.
It is easy to write, blog, update on facebook or any other site and state how you love Jesus. But Pose for a moment and ask, do you really love Christ. remember the million dollar question to Peter, Three times this question was asked, Peter, do you love Me?
In public places do you love Jesus?
In the confines of your room, do you love Christ?
In your work place do you love Christ?
With your peers, do you love Christ?
I ASK, DO WE REALLY REALLY LOVE CHRIST? IF SO THEN LETS FEED THE LAMBS

My life’s Buoy
So jealously have I decided to guard,
Because it may take a lifetime to find,
Takes reason to find one of kind,
Hope, that’s how it is defined.
Hope takes you to the greatest heights,
And gives you a smile in your plights,
Any time in your life there are doubts,
Hope, that’s what you need.
In life’s mighty ocean as I sail,
In many of my endeavors I may fail,
But one place I will not aim,
And that’s going to the pessimist’s jail.
Faced my ever consistent maze of mediocrity,
One thing I will hung to is Hope.
If my ambition is in definite obscurity,
My light will come from hope.
To cultivate the seed of sanguinity,
Pessimism I will cast from my vicinity!

Beauty
Mirror morror on the wall, who is the most beautiful of all living souls.....How dare you ask???? ofcourse the one standing before this mirror....Oh, I just had to be sure!
Ask me what is beauty? For those on social networks like facebook and hi5, I will tell you, beauty is having your photo marvelled on five years after you posted it. At this point I will stop to ask, which is wrong here, the question or the answer?
From a carnal point of view, what counts is my body, my physique, my facial orientation, my choice for wardrobe, my slang, my....oh my.......So mandatory are this that it is a prequalification for social match ups. recently one of my buddies status read like, "I will unfriend all that do not have photos" and yet on another adored radio channel recently agreed across the divide that all ladies had to be Naomi Campbells and all men ahd to be Enrique Iglessias. Wore unto them that fall outside this brackets.
My candid thoughts, all this overated. Ask the wisest of the wise, Solomon, he tested and saw all this was vanity. Honestly what does it profit to please the whole world and the beauty that counts is a malignant condition in your life?
Don't get me wrong, at no point do i insinuate that you throw your grooming skills to the dogs. Not at all. My point is, what if we groomed our hearts the same way we groom our bodies? What if we religiously remembered to commune with the author of beauty the same way we remembered to carry our handbags? What if honesty, love, kindness, generosity...i mean all the fruits of the holyspirit were beautifully displayed in our hearts as our wadrobes are displayed?
Tell me, what is beauty to you??

No turning back
I am living my life. I have focus on my destination. I do not want to turn back. I only want to walk with Him. Many a times it appears like am desolate, but in Him I have a friend. Surrounded by uncertainties,posing so many questions, unable to navigate my ship, in Him only can i put my trust. Only Him will I vest the captaincy of my life.
At crossroads, do i find myself quite often. So much ambition, sometimes at the brink of compromise, Lord, I shall not despair. I will not be weighed down, I shall not turn back.
My desire......
More love
More trust
Worship
More of Him and less of me
For its not about me, Its all about Jesus.
Open the eyes of my heart Lord, I want to see you!

VOID?
Our hearts are like one void template that constantly seeks to be filled. Human beings resort to various circumstances to try fill the void. Many seek fulfilling relationships with the proverbial "happily ever after" ending. Many go great miles to vet friends they will confide in, a shoulder to lean all. Some keep to themselves, nursing there sorrows and sorting there sorts. Solace has been sort in various ways, by chain smoking, heavy drinking, and many forms of carefree life.
Suffice to say, all this are aimed at trying to fill the void. But as wise Solomon says " all this were vanity," it is in vain that we seek to fill the heart in such ways. Smoking has been known to cause cancer, drinking leads to disorderliness, carefree life may lead you to the regrets of your life, but there is one source of fulfillment that guarantees the much sort peace of mind. Let me introduce you to the prince of peace, JESUS CHRIST! HE says " Come to me all ye, that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
Our voids can not be filled by radical earthly pleasures. Our voids can never be filled by human philosophies. Our voids can not be filled by carefree lifestyles. There is only one source of hope in this life. The Ancient of Days. Do you know why Jesus came? He came to set us free, so that we may be free in deed.
Who seeks solace in smoking? Smoking does fill your void! Who seeks solace in drinking? drinking only empties your wallet! Who seeks solace in the Messiah? You got the right pathway, seek on!
May the peace of the Lord, the peace that surpasses all understanding fill your hearts and define your ways!

Gods love
Gods love is manifested in this way, that when we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Redemption was purchased by life. Its through the crucification that i live, In Christ i am a new creature. Never to turn back. When I remember the ordeal with the Jews, when I remember the cross episode, I make one decision, never to turn back to sin. Sometimes this journey looks like it has no end,like i am destined to walk forever, but the crown justifies the mileage. I have got my mind made up, I will never turn back, for I want to see Jesus someday!
