Oddly Enough

Oddly Enough,

Oddly Enough, life has been a switcheroo dance..

Born into a world tinged with betrayer and bitterness.

Scorned for the inability of others, shamed by poverty and bullied by circumstances.

Harassed and buffeted by life's travails, peer pressures and societal expectations.

Defeated by a mindset conditioned by sown twisted speeches inspired by ignorance, envy, jealousy and hate.

 

The future was a vicious circle when imagined...

So I feared.

Then the Truth came in the guise of the Word, inflaming the heart.

Piercing through the debris of shame, scorn, and betrayer.

Igniting the hope incubated in the core hidden under the scars of life.

That core that housed man's ability to hope regardless of how dire the situation faced.

From which a voice whispers, "you are worthy, deserving and of value".

Casting off the doubts, the fear and the shame, I triumphed.

Prevailing in all circumstances by the application of the Word.

Rebuking all thoughts that would try and cast me in the role of the "fearful and defeated".

 

Skillfully navigating life’s path with the floodlights of knowledge...

Oddly enough, I REIGNED!

P.S: Knowing who you are, is the only spring board to greatness! Find yourself in the words of the Creator and oddly enough you will prevail.

Millare…..

That Feeling Of Uselessness.

 

That feeling of uselessness is that which you feel when you see your loved ones hurting and you are powerless to stop, change or take that grief upon yourself.

That feeling of uselessness is what you feel, when you watch with a sense of incredibility the forces of nature overwhelm man’s will, technologies and structures.

That feeling of uselessness is that which you feel when you’ve given your best but find out it isn’t enough.

That feeling of uselessness is what every human feels watching death sting loved ones or innocents.

That feeling of uselessness is what the righteous man feels every time evil triumph over good or the wicked prospers.

That feeling of uselessness is what the romantic feels when his/her rose tinted glasses is wrenched away and shattered by the harsh realities of unrequited, unwanted, underserved or rejected love.

That feeling of uselessness is the bane of man’s abilities and mortality, causing one to question the very essence of life and living.

That feeling of uselessness is the cause of every broken dream, mind or spirit in the world man inhibits.

Isn’t it amazing that from this feeling of uselessness, mental, spiritual, financial and physical giants are born and formed?

Isn’t it funny that from this feeling of uselessness, the seeds of immortality and limitless abilities is gleaned and then realized?

It is a known fact that from that feeling of uselessness, comes the strength to push/pull through the darkest nights of a man’s life to his glorious dawn.

When you’ve hit rock bottom remember that the only way to go is UP!

Failed Promises.

"Promises are only as strong as the person who gives them" Stephen Richards.

How true the above statement is.

A huge chunk of promises made everyday are broken. No wonder many are hurting in the world today. Nothing can prepare you for the pain. Nevertheless you can overcome.

The way we respond to failed promises is more important than the fact that a promise has not been kept.

The right mental attitude.

To have very high expectations for something whether persons,institutions or outcomes, without the thought that something could go 'differently' can be a set up for heartbreak and disappointment.

It's wise to be moderate and realistic about our expectations of people or outcomes.It's also wise to be supportive and responsible to those who have made promises to us.

Jesus Christ is the only one that is incapable of making a failed Promise.

Are you heartbroken as a result of a failed promise? It's time to move on.It's time to heal.Jesus can make you whole again.Through His Word and the ministry of the Holy Spirit you can be happy again. Only believe and accept Him today into your heart..ask Him to help you and He will, because He loves you.

Don't Say " I Love You."

"Don't say 'I love you.' Say more, Put you heart to paper."

 

So says the theme of this year's Hallmark Valentine's campaign, as they seek to "recapture" the essence of these three powerful words "I love you".

Apparently, they have put together a collection of short films of real couples who have been married for that long and asked them to describe what they liked most about their partners without making use of the words "I Love You."

Some shed tears,hugged tighter, looked deeply into each others eyes as they listened to it all....it's so inspiring, and we get to see how important those seemingly "unimportant things" that we do become what actually binds us together and make all the difference between success and failure in our relationships.

Enjoy this beautiful ode of love and do the right thing this Valentine.

Inner Conflict.

Hi guys,

Here in the beautiful city of madrid, its bright and sunny and I feel great! I'm really hoping it's the same for you but never mind the weather, what I have for you today is sure to help one way or the other.
Recently, I realised I have been embroiled in an Inner Conflict, which is basically when you find yourself struggling with emotional or mental obstacles....I found myself in a struggle between doing what I "ought" to do and what I truly wanted to do.

It was quite frustrating at first because I couldn't shake off this vague feeling that something was wrong, I was constantly agitated and couldn't immediately pinpoint the problem maybe due to a lack of attention...subsequently, subconsciously I tried to suppress the unease which made me feel much worse.
Anyway, thankfully, after careful self examination, I was able to trace my discomfort to some issues that needed to be addressed in my life, which was...Continuing in a situation that was no longer acceptable to me. Now the big fat question was, what do I do now?
Well, in resolving inner conflict, we too often opt for the "safe" or "politically correct" way out, paying no mind to our core needs and truest values. This shouldn't be. In times like this, what we need is summon the courage to act in synchrony with what we truly believe. The reward, almost instant relief, comfort, clarity, vitality and expansion and even exhilaration.
Finally, don't be shy to ask for help from tested and trusted sources around you. I recommend asking help from The Holy Spirit, its not difficult, just go ahead and ask Him in faith and you will feel the peace His presence always brings, nudging you in the way that's best for you.
So, inner conflicts are not as dreadful as we sometimes tend to feel they are after all, once we embrace them they can actually be a way forward to a more fulfilling life. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have been inspired today.

Cheers.
