So What if...

Originally written: Nov 03, 08.


What if God couldn't take the time to bless us today because we were unable to take the time to thank Him yesterday?

What if God decided to stop leading us tomorrow because we refused to follow Him today?

What if we never saw another flower blossom because we grumbled when God sent the Rain?

What if God didn't walk with us today because we failed to recognize He had been walking with us all along?

What if God took away the Bible tomorrow because we would not read it today?

What if God took away His message because we failed to listen to the messenger?

THINK ABOUT THIS ONE...

What if God didn't send His only begotten Son because He wanted us to be prepared to pay the price for our own sins.

What if the door of the church was closed because we did not open the doors to our hearts?

What if God stopped loving and caring for us because we failed to love and care for others?

What if God would not hear us today because we did not listen to Him yesterday?

What if God answered our prayers the way we answer His call to service?

What if God met our needs in the equivalent proportion by which we committed our lives to Him?

Just what if? ……

Guess what, we may never have to worry about those what ifs if we only believe that He is The Alpha & The Omega, The All Knowing, The Ever Forgiving, The Merciful & Most High Loving God. We just need to trust and believe in Him more.

My Continent's Promise

What does my continent have in store for me?

If I chose to go back to the motherland today,
what is the promise that my continent has to offer me?
Will I be able to contend myself that there will be a way,
or I will have to make my own way?

Will there be a fair process to make my way,
or I'd have to do holla hoops?

What is that promise?
I want to go back to you motherland!
Show me the promise, so I can plan my way back.
I long to breathe your air, bask in your sun,
till your soils, sow in your grounds and just enjoy it.

My dreams are deeply rooted in your promise.
I can no longer sleep peacefully because they must
be accomplished. My dreams are now a burden I
must unload off my shoulders. Many are waiting to benefit.
Oh motherland, make a way for my return a pleasant one.

You would be happy when the dreams come to live!
Oh I know you would be proud.
Dear Motherland, pave the way and make it happen.....soon!

My Pain - Our Pain for Daddy

My Ailing Daddy

Oh Dear Daddy, I go to bed every night with your pain buried deep within me. How can I not feel your pain? I worry everyday. I pray for you day in an out, that you will get better. Oh Daddy! I've cried many a nights....cried till I became strong again.

I miss not hearing your voice. The sound of your laughter or your smile! I just miss hearing that sound. But I’ll be by your side soon. Life placed a gazillion of obstacles in our path. But little by little, we are making our way through if Dad. Please hang in there Daddy! I promise you, it will be better. We will make certain of that.

I whisper that promise…… and I know you heard me!

Love you Dad! We all love you so much!
