Bitterness


 Bitterness:

I don't talk to anyone spontaneously 

I don't trust anybody quickly 

Lest they hurt me and break my heart

And that pain might turn into bitterness

And cause my soul to grieve

I better stay safe

I better guard my heart from getting hurt

I have built strong walls around my heart 

I don't let anyone enter easily


Is there a balm that could cure my bitterness?

Like the ones they sell in shops?

They have a balm for headache

They have a balm for back pain

But none that could heal my heart.


I have seen some men

They make their own balm

They get into drugs and all

To ease the pain but only in vain

Some women too,

They share their burdens to others 

Only to find, there is no gain


Then I remember,

Jesus crucified on the cross

The soldiers mock Him

They give him bitter water dipped in a sponge

And He drank it 

He bore my bitterness on the cross

I don't have to worry about it


How can I go away from the cross

For that's where my healing is

He has the healing balm for my bitterness

He never charges a penny

He gives freely to the one who asks Him

Come to the cross

That is where the healing balm is!

FAITHFUL

 FAITHFUL               Who is like you,  Lord   God Almighty?        You,  Lord , are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you.                Psalms 89: 8              Love and Faithfulness are like two sides of the coin when we think of God's character. He is full of love and He is a very faithful person.             How do you imagine God when you think of Him? I imagine God like the One that Ezekiel saw in a vision. Ezekiel 1: 26, 27 Above the vault over their heads was what looked like a throne of lapis lazuli, and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man.   I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him. Ezekiel saw God in His glory. God had the appearance of man yet glowing in brilliance. Remember He made us in His image! Here is a picture to boost your imagination!

The Purpose

Image
THE PURPOSE God's creation                    God's creation is beautiful. Genesis 1 briefs how God created different things in 6 days  and he rested on day 7.                 Genesis 1: 1-3               In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light" and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and morning were the first day.             God saw there was a need. It says that the earth was formless, empty and dark. When God saw the need, He started to do something about it. He spoke and light appeared. God was pleased and called the light as "day" and the darkness as "Night".                 1. God sees a need.                2.

The Journey

Image
                                                                                            The Journey At birth, a baby travels from its mother's womb and comes into this world. As it grows, it transitions from the loving confines of its home to school then to college, workplace, setting up a household and raising up children of its own kind and then becomes old and departs from this Earth. It’s a journey every human being undertakes. It’s a journey that everyone is familiar with. But do you know there is another journey we all travel?             Just as our flesh has its own course, so also the spirit that God kept inside of us has a course to run. I like to call it "The Journey of Faith". The journey of our flesh will come to an end when we die. But the spirit has an eternal journey to undertake.           This journey appears in the Bible for the first time in Genesis 12, when God calls our father Abraham to go to the land which He shows him.    Genesis 12: 1
