I BLAME IT ON ME

When I ate of the forbidden fruit,
I don't blame it on the serpent,
When I lust after the girl down the street,
I don't blame it on the short skirt she had on,
I blame it on me!
When I sniffed sniffed puff,
I don't blame it on my problems,
When I tasted of that bottle of Vodka,
I don't blame it on my joblessness,
I blame it on me!

For I realize that until I stop blaming my sins on someone or something,
Except I start taking responsibilities for my action,
Except I acknowledge my wrongs, turn to the lord, and stop making excuses,
I will never be forgiven and I will never be free,
For "though we are in the world, we are not of the world,"
The battle is not against the world or the people of the world,
The battle is against the flesh and the spirit that rules the ungodliness of the world,
Hence, "we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and power..."
So stop blaming your sins on people, the media and the society,
Blame it on you, acknowledge you're a sinner, confess, repent and forsake your sins,
And turn to the lord to kill the flesh which always rises within you,
For the will to sin lies within the flesh, hence, "if we through the spirit do mortify the deeds of the flesh, we shall live."

RESTING ON HIS ARMS

In the midst of a turbulent world,
In the face of every struggle,
When my strengths and skills fail me,
When I've tried to run this race on my own power,
I realize I keep failing and falling by the hour,
The more I rely on my wisdom, the more I realize my foolishness,
And my frailties stare me in the face, my weaknesses punch me in the guts,
So I quit trying to make it on my own,
Now I'm constantly looking to His heavenly throne,
Daily resting on His everlasting arms,
'Cause in Him alone lies my true strength,
My anchor and hope is in Christ alone,
He is my mighty rock, my shield and comfort,
He will never leave me alone,
So I'm daily resting, leaning, relying, and just holding unto His everlasting arms.

PICKING THE RIGHT PARNTER: HOW DO YOU KNOW?

Alright folks, sorry I haven't written in a while. I've actually been pretty busy. Today, I would like to share something that is very personal with you. Choosing a life partner, honestly, is one of the things I'm often scared of. Especially because I like/love people easily and it is really hard for me to let go whenever I like/love a person, no matter how much they hurt me. There seem to be always be a place in my heart for them. I know, it is both a weakness and a strength. So sometimes I think about it: "when that time comes, how do I decide which woman is right for me?" I often pray to God about it and believe that when the time is right he would lead me aright. Well, God knowing my heart, decided to make me hear a sermon about two weeks ago, which has really cleared some doubts and eased some burdens on the subject.  I believe it is one of the most revealing and powerful sermons I've heard on the above topic. So, I did a review of it and posted it on my church's blog, and I thought within myself, "who else would I share this with other than my faithful viewers?" So just go click on the link to read and meditate on it. I pray it blesses you: http://www.jesushousedc.org/blog/post/2011/10/26/PICKING-THE-RIGHT-PARTNER.aspx

BEYOND THE PAIN

Often times we are tied down by some of our past failures,
Sometimes the mistakes of our past prevent us from seeing a bright future,
We bottle up the past perplexing pains of our lives,
We live in the darkness of our sorrowful past, and fail to see the light,
We cry, sob, shed tears, stay depressed and dejected,
Wallow in despair, grope in despondency and feel unaccepted,
In the midst of it all, failing to see beyond the pain,
Failing to understand that within every pain is some gain,
Within every scar is a star waiting to shine very brightly,
And within every mess, a valuable and life-changing message can emerge,
If only we learn to look beyond the pains of our past, no matter how painful they may seem,

It may not look like it right now, but you have to believe me,
When I say there is still some good in your life, despite the many bad which screams at you,
The plan of the devil is to tie you down to your past, and deceive you into thinking nothing good can come from your ugly life,
He tells you you are worth nothing, and you believe it, continuing in your sins, thinking there is no other way to go,
Regardless of what your past has been, I want you to know that you are worth more than some of your past mistakes,
You are worth more than the troubles that you have been through,
There is forgiveness and redemption in Jesus Christ,
All you've got to do is, look beyond your pain, look to the future, come to Christ, just as you are and He'll make you whole.
NOTE: Your future is brighter than you think, so please move and don't be deceived by anyone or anything into thinking you are done. If God has not given up on you, you shouldn't give up on yourself. Peace.

STILL LOVED

Probably sitting there,
Wondering if He still cares,
Thinking about your past mistakes,
And pondering over whether He will take,
You just as you are with your imperfections,
Some have told you to just forget about redemption,
They have said there is no future for you in God,
That your type cannot be forgiven by God,
Not for the many sins you have committed against man and God,
But regardless of what your past mistakes have been,
Regardless of what the devil wants you to believe,
I want you to know that the devil is a liar and the father of all lies,
The master of deception who wants you to remain depressed and dejected,
Who wants you to feel unaccepted and rejected,
But I've come to announce to you,
That all of your sins were nailed to the cross a long time ago, even before you were born,
The blood of Jesus Christ was shed for you,
And in spite of your past mistakes and failures,
Just know that you are STILL LOVED by the one who first loved you and gave up His life for you.
So go back to Him in prayers, confess and forsake your sins and let Him come into your life.
JESUS LOVES YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN EVER IMAGINE. PEACE.
