WHAT MORE?

What more can I give to the one who loved me regardless of me?
What more can I do for the one who gave it all up that I may live?
In what way can I prove my love for the one who took my place,
And ushered me into the realm of abundant grace and mercy?
Should I give up all my wealth and my fortune?
Should I give up my life in appreciation?
Well, I could, and that's exactly what I did.

In case you are trying to grasp the perspective of the persona in this poem,
Don't stress your head about it,
'Cause I'm just speaking of my savior, my lord and King, JESUS CHRIST;
For all the love He showed me, for giving up His life on the cross of Calvary for my sins,
For showing true, unending and unconditional love unto me, 
For forgiving my many sins, and restoring me to a place of freedom in Him,
For healing me of my sicknesses, and setting me free from every bondage,
For all He has done for me, I can't think of anything else to give in return,
But my life, my soul, my spirit, and my body in worship and reverence of the living God,
Who thought of a sinner and a  wretch like me and prepared even before the foundations of the earth,
The priceless gift of His only begotten: Immanuel, God with us, The word made flesh, JESUS CHRIST, my savior.
And as I write this morning, I pray that you will not be deceived any longer by the vain and pointless philosophies of man or the confusing complexities of religion's legion,
But that you will accept the real truth, life and purpose in a savior who gave up His life that you may have access to eternal life. I pray you find Jesus and make Him your lord and savior. Ask Him into your life today and experience boundless peace and joy. Amen. Peace.





IF I COULD...

If I could sail the seven seas for you,
Travel around the world just to be with you,
If I could die and be born again just to prove my love for you,
Risk my life for you, sacrifice my life just so you can live,
If I could buy you the whole of earth's treasure,
And secure for you the entirety of the world's wealth,
If I could live in discomfort just so your life can be more comfortable,
Walk bare-footed just so you can have the nicest shoes the world can offer,
If I could go hungry to give you a satisfying meal,
Go through countless sleepless nights, to put you to a good night rest,
If I could spend the last dollar I have on you, just to make you happy,
Risk all of my life's savings for the purchase of your priceless love,
If I could give up all the things that matter to me just to be with you,
Just to hear you say, "I love you,"
Just to make you mine,
Baby indeed if I could do all of these for you, I would,
And the truth is I could, I should, and I would,
'Cause you are worth more than all these things to me.
I love you.

WE WIN SOME II

So we keep rising,
In the midst of constant defeat and failures,
We keep rising,
Regardless of how many times we have been beaten,
We keep rising, we keep pressing on, we keep pushing on,
We never stop trying, praying, believing, trusting, expecting,
While we are on our journey to the promised land; our sojourn to the top,
'Cause we know we are bound to win some, we are bound to lose some,
But it's our attitude in the midst of the storms that determines our altitude after the storm,
So we keep rising even when people stop believing in us,
We keep rising even when the odds are stacked up against us,
We keep rising even after we watch all we've worked for crumble to the ground,
For we know that we would win some, and we would lose some,
So we encourage ourselves in defeat, and look with hope and optimism to the possibilities of our glorious future,
For whether we win some, lose some, win all, or lose all,
We know that as long as the courage and dreams within us remain indestructible, we would always come back better and stronger,
This folks, is what keeps me going, and regardless of your situation, please look in to the future with hope,
For the possibilites are endless for those who never stop believing in the possibilities.
And remember, we win some, we lose some, but we never stop trying, we never give up and above all, we never say never.
Peace.


WE WIN SOME

Life is filled with ups and downs;
One minute you are king of the mountain tops,
Next minute you are struggling in the valley pits,
One minute the crowd is calling your name,
The next minute they are spreading your downfall,
I've always had an attitude of a winner,
The determination to keep pressing on,
With the intention of coming out at the top,
But time and time again, I've come to realize that,
Though they say, "life's what you make it,"
Life doesn't always turn out to be what you work so hard to make it,
So we win some, and we lose some,
But we never stop trying, we never give up, we never say never,
Because it's not the excitement and glory of victory that makes winners,
But the courage to rise up again, pick up your baton and get back in the race,
Even in the midst of constant defeat and failures, yeah, that's what makes you a winner,
It's what makes you a fighter; 'cause we win some, we lose some,
But we never stop trying, we never give up and we never say never...

THE MYSTERY OF LOVE II

It's that which sparks up an attraction for no explicable reason,
A bond which is not built on superficiality, artificiality or on that which is ephemeral; it's eternal,
It's the reason you are attracted to that man or that woman, but can't really tell why,
Of all the many people on earth, he or she just captures your heart,
Even in the midst of his imperfections,
In the midst of her many flaws, you still love her,
There are truly no ways to tell when he is Mr. Right,
There are really no ways to determine when she is your soul mate,
But when you meet the right one, you just know,
By a certain connection, a certain bond, which may be conscious or unconscious,
A feeling deep-rooted within the soul, something you cannot lay hold on,
But you just feel it from somewhere within your being,
That's the mystery of love,

I could go on and on about this mystery called love,
But in order for us to fully grasp this mystery of love,
We must return to the one who truly modeled what true love should be-JESUS CHRIST.
His love was unconditional, sacrificial, eternal, always ready, willing, accepting, nonjudgmental;
All He says is, "come as you are and I will accept you, then change you and make you of a sterling worth."
I pray you first find true love in Christ and then in the right man or woman meant just for you. 
Have a blessed day.








THE MYSTERY OF LOVE

It's a mystery known only to those who have truly felt it,
A mystery uncovered by them who are united by the heart,
It's a mystery born within the soul,
You don't see it, you can't always tell what it is,
But when you feel it, you know it,
You don't have to think about unraveling it,
'Cause it's not meant to be unraveled, it's meant to be accepted and enjoyed,
In the beauty of its mystery;
A mystery I wish I can adequately explain in words,
A mystery which cannot be uncovered by any scientific or any known human means,
A mystery which is divine, soulful, spiritual, and in no way carnal,
It's the mystery of love...
