This day, 26th December 2017
Pondering on the former things
Yesterday, I would say still
The massacre of my soul
Bloody excesses spilled and they allowed it flow
Continuous pounding of my ego
Which they fed on to grow theirs
Ohh! I forgot to add the dismembering of my parts
My! My! I was seasoned with hate
Placed in a pot filled with rage
I sizzled in pain
I was made to look good
A delicacy that brought praises to their efforts

This day, 26th December 2017
I realized I was worth more than their words
An undiscovered treasure waiting to be sought
Deep down, bursting with enthusiasm
I'd let my past go with this season
I count the fingers on my right hand and I see five
Five more days to a fresh start

This day, 26th December 2017
My mind's made up never to be the least
Knowing my fresh start gives me 365 opportunities
This day,
My mind's made up to be great.

Merry Christmas everyone ( even though it's coming a day late).. Let's remember Christ is the reason for the season. One more thing, don't be dejected if you couldn't achieve all you wanted to for this year..2018 awaits your blast!!

Still got the love notes attached to the flowers you always sent
The bottles of perfume you bought me
Still got the empty box of chocolates you last sent
The memories of the times you had with me
I hear your voice in every sound
Obsession?

No, I'm not obsessed
They're all reminders of how deep I fell
It's hard to tell
But I miss you
Each time I saw her with you
My waterfalls went in fluxes
As the days went by,
Hoping you'd come back
I got drowned in my tide of emotions
Hanging from the gallows of heartache and desertion
Your spiders spun webs of weakness around me
Now I'm lost between my strings
And I've got the courage to say I'm moving on

I realised some things are not meant to be That "we" weren't it
And that love doesn't always have a happy end
You both seem to be in love
If love is her, I love you

*****
This goes out to people struggling with heartbreak
Moving on might seem hard, but it's the best you could give yourself in that kinda situation. Surround yourself with people who you know can help you and more importantly Christ is there for you.

Love,
Dassah

            FOCUS
His arms were stretched out to reach me
But I was too carried away to notice
I was basking in the euphoria of the ephemeral goodies that held me back

Like a switch, these goodies began to claw at my heart
Trying to steal His love from there
Then I came to my senses and from beneath me, I screamed for help

He swiftly came to my side and rescued me
"I don't ever want to leave your side" I said
"Don't let go of my hand" He replied

The last of the love series. I was supposed to have posted this about two weeks ago but...well......🙈🙈
  Summary of our Christian journey: don't let go of HIS hands...stay focused
Hebrews 12: 1-2..."Therefore since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses,let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that easily entangles and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus,the author and finisher of our faith who for the joy set before Him endured the cross

LOSING HOLD

So, I kept His love in my heart
And fuelled it's intensity
Constantly checking "the mirror" to view my wrongs and instantly correct them
The apparel of grace was like a second skin

We decided to embark on a journey
He was my companion all through the way
Then I began to falter in my steps with Him
I became entangled in the web of the mundane things that held me from receiving His love at first
He seemed so afar off, yet he was close

Hi guys, I know I promised to post on Thursday... I'm sorry I couldn't... I was doing a whole lot of soul searching..Here I am today...I cried while writing this (I couldn't go further 'cos I knew I had somewhat drifted from HIM...I was writing about myself)
    "But your iniquities have separated you from God; your sins have hidden his face from you,so that he will not hear" Isaiah 59:2

    Love series 3 soon

             KEEP MY LOVE
It came as a small package
With one of the most unsightly designs
I scoffed as I rejected it
Priding in the mundane things I had at my disposal

A small package it was
I couldn't tint my image by accepting it,I thought
He kept coming back with the same package
I finally decided to check the content of this package
Hoping He'd let me be at this stage

Then I realised I had been stupid all this while.
Opening the package was worth my while.
The unsightly package had the most beautiful things I had ever seen as it's content.
A mirror to show me my true self, my flawed life,my errors, my sins,
An apparel of grace , and
His love embedded in one word- JESUS

I crumbled to the floor as I wept in realisation
"I'm sorry", I mumbled amidst tears
"Keep my love in your heart", He replied.

       ******************
I began to ponder this morning on how much God still loves me, inspite of my flaws. I couldn't thank Him enough for Jesus Christ. That spurred this writeup.
      God specializes in loving us. The fact is, because of our sinful natures, not one of us deserves His love. Yet God's love is bestowed on all who admit their need and respond to His love for them. God's love for us is not just an emotion but an actual fact(yeah!!!, very real). God proved His love for us by willingly sending His son (Jesus) to suffer and die . In fact there's nothing in the whole universe that can separate us from God's love!!!( Romans 8:38-39)-please read that
What more could God say to us to make us more secure in His love?
     
Love Series 2 should be up by tomorrow or Thursday😉😉

   Sometimes I want to pray, those times I find it hard to concentrate
   Sometimes I want to sing, those times I find it hard to say a word
   Sometimes I want to tell you how much I love you, those times my words end up sounding like a worn-out cliché
   Sometimes I want to hear myself think, those times my thoughts keep going like a guzzling river
   Sometimes I want to act normal around you,those times my heart begins to get premature ventricular contractions
   Sometimes I want to live life to the fullest, those times I end up getting a bucket full of sarcasm
   Sometimes I want to please people, those times I end up being treated like an experimental bacteria growing in a culture dish
   Sometimes I want to blend with my friends, those times I feel like cornflakes soaked in a bowl of milk

Hey guys,welcome to the second half of the year...It's been awhile..
Don't forget to drop your comments.. Thank you💞💞
                                      Musings😎

I feel it
Don't you?
The wave of lies around.

I see it
Don't you?
The flame of distrust spreading quickly.

Why can't you smell it too?
The  stench of deceit clogging my nostrils.
Do I have to be engulfed in all of this before you reach out?
