MY TEARS IN HIS BOTTLE!

 


My Tears In His Bottle

When I was born, mama cried tears of joy...it's been a long and a painful nine months of up’s & down for her.

It's hard for me to fathom all the changes mama went thru, while her blood and hormones struggled to adjust to my arrival.

I thank God for mama, we both cried tears of joy when my lungs opened for the 1st time! She felt the warmth and the freshness of her new baby boy tears.

Heaven rejoiced, as the Archangel joyfully announced my birth and arrival to these earthly shores! My guardian angel was deployed the moment I was conceived!

Little did I know that the tears I cried were a prelude of all the many tears I'd need to go thru all my life's struggles.

God's been collecting and bottling all the tears I cried from my very first day! He been my Lighthouse in a stormy sea and Pillar of Fire in my darkest days.

He stood by my bedside when I was sick and never left me till I got well...friends, family & foes forsook me.... but God!

You number my wanderings; Put my tears into your bottle; Are they not in your book?

I may not afford the most basic things in life...but sure, am glad that God is the most basic I'd ever need in this life.

So glad to know Lord; you've kept all the tears I ever cried inside your bottle...You are the Source of my joy despite all my circumstances!

My tears into your bottle and book of remembering is all I need to go thru this life.

MY BABY.... SHE'S ALL I GOT!

Feelings, in whatever mood matter sometimes.. . If I must open the window of my heart and let you see the real backdrop behind this narrative... this is it. After being let down by my first daughter and after we've agreed for her to meet her little sister for the very first time... I was very distraught. She withdrew at the last minute. I went to bed with a very heavy heart. I believe the Spirit whispered inside my sad heart these sweet words in the dead of the night. I tossed and turned as I began to listen to my heart, comforting and propping and lifting me higher than I thought I could ever climb. Everything else is history after this amazing encounter of wrestling with these incredible words and lines in my heart. Waking up the following morning was nothing but a formality as I began to smooth all the way to my last verse. Yes, yes... She's My Baby and She's All I Got ! Reflections, realignment, retracing and recollections of the life spectacled usually incognito to the

IN PURSUIT OF A DREAM!

In Pursuit Of A Dream!   Life is great and life is hard! Life is cruel and life is not fair! These are some of the most common overtones heard daily from Space. If the Almighty were to afford you a rare chance to sit on top of the Globe for one day: you like God, will hear these conjectures coming from the corridors of life below.   We live in the noisiest and the most congested Planet as humans. If God had offered a choice to parents in which Planet, they’d wish to have their babies born. Our population would not have risen to Eight Billion Souls as it were.   There are thousands of adverbs used to describe the very life we’re all part of. Life is subject to individual’s interpretation the same had gone through this twisting and endless labyrinth of Human Race and Pilgrimage to nowhere .   Once upon a time. In the busiest day for parents and their kids, who had excelled after their twelve yearlong school of education and gained their deserved university entrance pass.  Thi

SO, YOU THINK YOU HAVE A COVENANT WITH GOD?

COMMENTS ... Sometimes, to think that I'm in charge of what I write, where and when I like: is just a wish.  Yesterday I wrote a complete Soweto June 16th Uprisings Tribute.. two hours later, I've had to delete the whole thing. Why? Because l had no witness of the Spirit in my heart.  Well, that's just me! God gave me all these Thoughts and Words to play with the rest of my life. I have gazillion words to play around with.  This narrative came over me early this morning. I felt like God was reminding me of the Covenant between Him and Jesus.  Kenneth Copeland and all the false teachers dance around their mega churches and brag about the Covenant they never had.  I'm always left speechless whenever I see thousands run behind false teachers and false prophets as if they cannot read the Bible for themselves.  I follow Jesus in His Word and nobody else. I am the addict of the Doctrine of Christ!  Nothing fascinates and moves my heart and soul like the anointed Word of God!
