SLAVERY AND ETERNITY

Kidnapped and stolen from homeland
Their capture was brutal and inhuman
For a terrible voyage each was branded
Hot coals to the skin was much dreaded

Packed into hot and dark holds of slave ships
Everything were they given accompanied by whips
Surviving a loathsome and terrible voyage
Death was an only way out of bondage

Years have passed since slave trade ended
Still many live in fear and some in hatred
Some willfully go into worst slavery
Thinking not of freedom because they move freely

Unfortunately everyone is born a slave
But can choose to whom he/she is enslaved
Fearfully many go for evil
And become slaves to the devil

When oft with luxury they are blindfolded
Many forget life after they are dead
But unto God we are not slaves but sons
Wearing crowns as bright as the sun

On the day of that great morning
When in beauty it shall be dawning
Which gate unto you shall be open
That to peace or to an oven

THINK OF THIS

How good is a house if its not a home How good is a tree if it bears no fruits How good is a garden if it has no flowers How good is a clock if it cant tell the time How good is are friends if they cant care and share How good are eyes if they cant be used for sight How good are ears if they cant be used for hearing How good is a nose that cant be used for breathing How good are legs if they cant be used for locomotion How good is a mirror that cant reflect images How good is a phone that cant be used for calls How good is a heart that cant pump blood How good is a book that cant be read How good is a youth without a dream and How good if your life if you are not living for Christ Remember a life without Christ is a life in crisis written by Alice Asuquo

THE PRESENCE OF LOVE

When you are in love with someone, a walk in the rain becomes a welcomed chance to share an umbrella. An unexpected snow-storm provides the setting for a quiet afternoon snuggled in front of the fireplace together. What could be bad times are good when you are with the one you love. In the same way, a growing relationship with God and appreciation for His presence beside you can give you a whole new outlook on life's storms. From a short-lived cloudburst to a long and difficult winter, adversity offers yet another occassion to draw closer to the Lord you love - and who loves you even more. Nothing can happen to you that could be too small for this protective hands or big. Nothing you will ever face could be too serious, too difficult or too lasting to keep the warmth and closeness of his comfort away from your heart. When you are in love with someone, suddenly nothing matters quite so much as the fact that you are with your beloved and your beloved is with you.... SOS 6:3 ...

A mother's love

Its a love so divine and true A mother's love cannot be compared to another It is as sweet as honey... A taste that remains palatable Throughout a lifetime Her love is as warm as wool She goes through the hustle and bustle To ensure that life for her child is pretty cool As steady as a rock Mother's love remains unchanged Amidst faults and wrongs of her child She forgives A mother's love is as gentle as a dove She's always there with a dose of love Mother remains patient as Job Through the thick and thin Even the highs and lows Quietly teaching and correcting in love For the hope she has ...
