What I Say VS What Jesus Says

This is what I say

I tell myself that all my prayers are in vain
All the words that I utter disappears as it vanishes in the air

I should worry much
because on the table there’s not much
and in my thirst, nothing will quench
for the same shirt I still have to wear even if it’s drenched

I am insignificant
I may wander all I want
be lost and be out of the crowd
but no one would want me found

I am insulted, persecuted and falsely accused
and I have no choice but to simply infuse

The thief will break in, steal and kill
destroy my whole being
and I’ll be left with nothing

No way
No truth
No life
I just walk a winding path
a full serving of lies
where death is a certain demise

This is what I say
but what I say is not how my life should sway
for this is what Jesus says

Jesus says that all my prayers are being heard
and aside from being heard it is actually being answered

I should not worry
for in Him provision is plenty
He is the water of life
He covers us with best suit and tie

I am significant
and my attention is all that He wants
I may run but the chase will not stop
I’ll get tired but He will not

I may get insulted or persecuted
but He is a mighty defender
and though the thief exists
Jesus’ protection also persists

He is the way
the truth
and the life
and in Him you are found
and in life you are bound

This is what Jesus says
and whatever He says
will not be swayed
for it is forever and never will change

This is what Jesus says

You Exist For A Reason

Many of us seeks purpose.

A cause.

An explanation.

A justification.

An answer to the question.

The reason for creation.

We have come up with questions such as,

What is the point?

What is the intention?

What is the aim?

What is the objective?

What is the goal?

What is the plan?

What is the ambition?

What is the aspiration?

What is the advantage?

What is the benefit?

What is the use?

What is the function?

What is the role?

What is the value?

What is the merit?

What is the worth?

What is the profit?
A lot of different questions, a lot of different answers but one thing is certain.

You exist for a reason.

God wouldn’t bother to spend His wisdom in creating a planet that will sustain your existence.

And though we fell short and sinned against God He still provided for our redemption.

Even though the cost is His Sons’s crucifixion.

God’s everlasting love covers us.

And I don’t think that God would spend that much if He does not value us.

You exist for a reason.

There is a reason for your existence.

A specific purpose.

In Jeremiah chapter 1 verse 5 God said that “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I sanctified you, I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”

God knew you.

He knows your name. He even knows the count of your hair and in your attention He despairs.

You exist for a reason.

You breath for a reason.

And the very oxygen that composes the air that you breath were created for the very same exact reason.

You exist for a reason.

There is a reason for your existence.

A purpose for your persistence.

You don’t just consume space, the space was made to be consumed by you.

You have a purpose.

You exist for a reason.

No To Murder

Worthless,
useless,
insignificant,
unimportant,
stupid,
fool.

These are just some of the words that this world can throw at you.
People, experiences, past and present situations, all these things can start dictating and defining your life.
Making you think that your existence here on earth is not worth the fight.

Words like these can slowly contaminate your mind resulting into a mindset of unworthiness and a lifestyle of depression thus leading to that ultimate end called death.

And when I say death I am not over exaggerating but I’m stating a fact that some of us do not understand, some of us wouldn’t want to understand.

And I understand,

that sometimes we are just not aware,

aware of the reality that our words can kill,

your words can kill,

you can be a murderer.

I am not here to condemn rather I’m speaking to encourage.

Encourage everyone including myself to control our rage and defer from speaking words that can incur a vital damage.

Proverbs 18:21 says that,

“Death and Life are in the power of the tounge and those who love it will eat its fruit.”

Everyday we have a choice.

A choice to speak life or speak death.

A choice to provide encouragement or to commit murder.

We don’t gain from speaking ill unto others but rather we eat its consequences.

And before you get even cruel you should remember the golden rule.

“Do not do unto others what you don’t want others do unto you.”

It’s pretty plain and simple but for some reason we kept on missing the point.

Again, I am not speaking to condemn rather I’m speaking to encourage.

Because if the purpose of this message is to throw a stone then I should be the one to get struck first.

My encouragement to everyone is that we start speaking more of encouragement and motivation rather insolence and discrimination.

Words kill,

words give life;

they’re either poison or fruit

you decide.

Psalms 51:10

Today I was browsing my facebook newsfeed and I came across a post of a certain Christian page. The post is just a picture with the verse Psalms 51:10 in the New King James Version which says,

“Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.”

So I decided to meditate on this verse.

Whenever I meditate on a single verse, I always try to check other translations for me to be able to get more of it. I always look at the Amplified version of the verse. Psalms 51:10 in the Amplified version says,

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right, persevering, and steadfast spirit within me.”

It’s actually just almost the same. It’s a prayer to GOD, a personal prayer to have a clean heart and a renewed spirit. Well, that’s my prayer today. In all honestly, that’s basically my prayer everyday as well. You see, even though I’m a believer and a follower of JESUS CHRIST, sometimes I still miss the mark and fail. There were times that I tend to judge, criticize and think of bad stuff about others. So I really want GOD to mold me and create in me a clean heart and a renewed spirit.

Reading the Amplified version of the verse does not seem to be enough for me today. I still feel hungry. So I did check The Message translation of the verse. In The Message translation, It actually gave the translation of the verses 10 -15. Here goes,

“Soak me in your laundry and I’ll come out clean, scrub me and I’ll have a snow-white life. Tune me in to foot-tapping songs, set these once-broken bones to dancing. Don’t look too close for blemishes, give me a clean bill of health. God, make a fresh start in me, shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life. Don’t throw me out with the trash, or fail to breathe holiness in me. Bring me back from gray exile, put a fresh wind in my sails! Give me a job teaching rebels your ways so the lost can find their way home. Commute my death sentence, God, my salvation God, and I’ll sing anthems to your life-giving ways. Unbutton my lips, dear God; I’ll let loose with your praise.” – Psalms 51:10-15 (The Message)

This one hit me on the spot! The message is just bam! I can’t even find the words to describe it. Haha. As I meditated on these verses I sorted out the results that we can become if we pray and let GOD create a clean heart in us.

* clean
* snow white life
* tuned into foot-tapping songs
* set to dancing
* clean bill of health
* a fresh start
* brought us back from the gray exile
* put a fresh wind in our sails
* a job, teaching people GOD’s ways
* our death sentence was cancelled

Awesome! Awesome! Just so awesome! GOD is so awesome. HIS words are always fresh and refreshing. My lips has been unbutton so I’ll let loose with YOUR praise!
