Head-to-head
Gods1son Jan 2020
You can't outgrow your fears by
avoiding or running from them
You have to go head-to-head with it,
Just like David did against Goliath
The challenge might look bigger than you
But that doesn't make it insurmountable.

Faith
Gods1son Jan 2020
Tough situations melt before a strong faith
Hope might be out of sight but it never dies
With persistent faith, victory will come at last
The trumpet of victory sounds louder
after a prolonged wait.

Words
Gods1son Jan 2019
Words could be spat out
Like molten lava
Burning anything in its path

Or words could rain as blessings
Like manna from heaven
Filling those who receives it

Yours are yours to use!

Simple
Gods1son Nov 2018
I've tried writing sophisticated vocabularies
But they don't seem to run in my capillaries
My eyes are opened to the depth
In the seemingly shallow things
There is nothing basic about basic
If not well understood
There are lot of things that
We constantly overlook
Comparable to throwing away a hook
And fishing with bare hands
We often say...Yea, I understand
To that which we barely heard
Not to talk of comprehend
I guess, We just want to get to the end
End of a conversation
It's quite hard to keep a person's attention
How quickly we lose our concentration
Are you still with me?
I'm glad you made it to the end!

Mask off
Gods1son Apr 2019
I've been thinking of opening
my heart to you
to read like a book
I'm just a little nervous that
it might not be the genre that you like

But recently, I found out that
the track a few artists almost excluded
from their album turned out to be
the fan's favorite

So, my mind is made up
To reveal all that I am to you
And who knows where this will lead to
I'll patiently observe.

Holy Spirit
Gods1son Jan 2020
The Spirit of the Father that lives in me
Invisible yet more real than the air I breathe
He's inside me yet He sees more than I see
He knows more than I know but He's
always ready to give all the information to
me (Sometimes, I'm just not listening)
He's my best friend, He's concerned
about everything that pertains to me
(spiritual, material...everything)
He comforts me more than anyone could do
He strengthens me, He's my powerhouse
He also prays to the Father on my behalf
His guidance when I follow are without flaws
Best of all, He will abide with me for ever.

Embrace
Gods1son Jan 2020
When ego tries to rule
Blame game ensues
Then feelings are bruised.
But when love leads the way
We are careful of what we say
And resentment is kept at bay.
Why start an unnecessary fight
And silently miss each other day & night
Treat yourselves right
and
Hold yourselves tight.

Lives that matter
Gods1son Jan 2020
I am black — And Yes, our lives matter
But beyond that, all lives matter to God
Irrespective of race, age, social class or gender
He laid down His life to pay the sins of ALL,
Every human being — living and the unborn
He did a perfect work and He said it's done
He called us all into one body – of Christ
The only thing that'll keep us joined is LOVE
Regardless how we might appear on the outside
We all need to see and accept us as one
And that's the only way we can truly live —
in peace and happily!

Proceed
Gods1son Jan 2020
A bad action doesn't make you a bad person
A failed project doesn't make you a failure
Dwelling on those will lure you into the abyss
Seek forgiveness from those you wronged
Learn your lessons, forgive yourself and proceed.

Just a little more!
Gods1son Jan 2020
Can we be a little bit more understanding
A lot of people are fighting hidden battles
If what we are go through is this much,
maybe the other person has it even worse
This thought alone should draw kindness out of us.

Some are screaming for help inaudibly through a smile
Some are crying out loud but no one is listening
A hurting person doesn't always look hurt
Make it your default settings to be kind

And maybe we can give one another a helping hand
And if we can't, we shouldn't make it worse
The least we can do is to be understanding.

— The End —
