The Treacherous Shadow

There is this entity,
Lurking within us.
We might not see it,
But its presence is among us.

It is like a shadow,
A shadow it might seem.
Make the wrong move,
and it will control you from within.

It might be a shadow,
But its presence is so alluring.
It may seem that you're in control,
When in fact you already are in a big fall.

But do not fret weary heart,
For there is this promise.
A light that will pull you out,
in this treacherous darkness.

I shout all my praise,
to the One who pulled me out.
Pulled me out of this daze,
That I though I can never come out.

A daze that I though was pure.
When in fact it was all a lie!
This treacherous shadow,
Now pulled out of my life.

The battle may have been won,
But it is never over.
Sharpen up your swords,
Strengthen your defenses.

That was just one of many battles,
We are here to win a war.
A war whether you like it or not,
You will have to take part.

Lurking and ready to pounce,
Another shadow is hiding.
Never forget the source of your light,
and keep that fire burning.

God & Provider: How do we Really use it?

Image Source: ispygod.net

We all have heard a lot of Christians say this phrase: "God __ Provider."I intentionally left a blank space for many of us have our own ways of saying it.

But all in all, it talks about God being the provider. Just one question, why leave it blank Dude?


Well, today I want to change your perspective on God is-to Provider. Many of us use this couple of words a lot of times, but I tell you many of us have "glitches" when we use these words.

Okay, let me tell you a common phrase that people usually say when coupling these. of words.
That is: God will Provide.

Yeah, all is well and good, and sounds good to, but I tell you Dudes and Dudettes. People tend to overuse the phrase "God will provide."

God is the great provider, no questions about that.
But, are we really grasping the REAL essence of God being A PROVIDER? Or are we really thinking too much of ourselves when we say this phrase?

How WE THINK OF GOD as being the provider GREATLY MATTERS ON US! OUR CHARACTER. Before we even say phrases that are coupled with God and Provider, we must ask ourselves this.

That question is: ARE WE CONTENTED?

This question will greatly influence on how we grasps God's providence!

He knows what we really need, and knows when to give it.

So whether or not God give what you ask for, continue to trust Him.
You can assure yourself that you may never always have what you want, BUT! you are never ever in need!
Woooahh! but mind you, looking at your life right now, I am so sure that God has given you things that your heart had desired! Am I right? :P

Let me tell you this Dude and Dudettes!

Don't say God can provide, that's just intellectual assent
Don't say God should provide, who are you to say that?
Don't say God will provide, that's presumption,expecting it to come to you.
Say to yourself, GOD IS THE PROVIDER, that is faith! 

God knows when to give it to you. You might not have it because you might not be ready to receive it yet. You might not get what you have asked and prayed for because God has a better one for you.

Always remember!
God has a better one for your best! 

He assured us that! Have a read on these verses:
Philippians 4: 19
Hebrews 13: 5 
Philippians 4: 11-13
Matthew 6: 31-32
Matthew 7: 11

There are a lot more where that came from and if you read those verses, you have the solution in your hand.

So, say to yourself: God is the provider and I trust Him. Whether or not He gives me what I ask for or not, I will continue to trust Him. 

God bless everyone! :D

Beautiful, Sparkling Green

Lights fill up the sky,
As I stroll along the walkway.
The season has just ended,

But, the joy is there to stay.

At the bench I sat in,
I catch a glimpse of a girl.

Her eyes sparkles green,
As beautiful as she is.

"I really like your eyes"
I wished I could have said it.

But, her mom is there,
So, I'd rather just look and sit.

I did look at her,
She looked back.

Woah! Those beautiful eyes.

How I wish you could have.

It was nice seeing you,
Hope I didn't creep you out.
You really do have beautiful eyes. 

I do wish to know you...Miss beautiful, sparkling green :)

Waiting...

There's a princess out there,
I don't know who.
But I hope and pray,
That she might be you.

I've been teased to another,
It's exhausting to think about.
Sorry but she's not the one,
How I wish you people will stop!

How I wish I can tell you,
But it troubles me when and how.
So I'll keep praying,
In time, it will come.

Still, it gives me great joy,
That only He knows who you are.
So it comforts me,
On how the way things are.

Still, He reigns in my life,
Whatever His plan maybe.
I will acknowledge His will,
Than fail on this one miserably.

So I'll keep praying for my princess.
I will seek to be right with Him.
and in time, He will give me the words,
That I ought to speak.

...Grow as His princess,
Be the light that He has planned....

It may not be you,  But I hope it is :P
