Pain
Pain breeds empathy,
Do not just despise it,
Utilize it.

Godfident
When you let go and let God.
Stand on His word and trust He's making everything work out for your good.
Believe strongly that no matter what, life will turn out fine.
No matter the fire you face, He'll carry you through it all.
Godfident because i know I'm never alone,
Godfident because i know He lives in me.
Godfident because i know in him there is no shame.
Godfident because my life is in His hands.
Godfident because i know that with Him i can't fail.
I am Godfident. Not because I'm perfect but because God will never and has never left me.
I am Godfident.

Dragging through life
Tired, worn out, lost, desperately trying to survive.. Dragging through life. You're not alone.
Everybody says we should keep the hopes high but don't they see that's the rope we've been holding onto and we're at the end?
We've held on so much it's cutting us,
Sometimes hope hurts.
Perhaps we should try faith.

The emptiness that comes from trying to find fulfillment through people i am yet to comprehend.
We tend to think being accepted by society and feeling safe in society is enough, but we attain that and still feel empty.
The ultimate fulfillment is not on the outside, it is within ourselves.
Is your mind your safe haven?
Is it your peace?
Is it your place of rest? Comfort? Solace?
If you are happy within yourself, you won't need human validation to be fulfilled.

You see, someone somewhere does not have one of those things which seem to be just basic but really they are special and are to be appreciated.
Being ungrateful is easy,
But when you realize how fortunate you are, you begin to be more grateful.

Believe
No matter who loses hope in you, be the last to believe in yourself once more, twice more, again and again. You're all you really have really,
Thousands can believe in you but if you don't believe in you, it's of no use. Believe in yourself. You are here to make it. Don't think of success only when you're sailing smoothly, it's the storms that make you bigger and catapult you to greater heights.

Roses
Roses are beautiful
Roses smell beautiful,
But to pluck one, you risk being pricked.
Same applies to all good things,
To get them you have to risk getting hurt somehow,,
Beautiful things are all about sacrifice,
You never really know if it's gonna ***** you but you try to pick it anyway.
Dare to take the pain and enjoy the benefits later.

Life
Learn to enjoy the roller-coaster called life,
It's pretty fun.
Sometimes go "happy-go-lucky"
Enjoy the ride,
Because it turns out to be quite short.

Isn't it funny how we want to hear certain things from people, things that we can actually tell ourselves.
Well i guess it just feels better when it feels like someone else cares enough to tell you what you needed to hear from yourself but they say it anyway.

Inflammation does not last.

WRITE YOURSELF TO LIFE
Some things hurt because we see them through the eyes of other people and  put them in the hands of other people..they only hurt because we picture what they will see in us when we break apart or what they will say. But really you affect yourself.
I want to reach a point in my life where my opinion matters the most. I don't want to feel pain because of what i think people think or what i think people will say,if i hurt i want it to be because i approve of it. I want it to be because i want to learn and to heal from the pain. If i hurt,i want to be the reason i hurt. Maybe that i let myself down or i did what i was not supposed to do. And not let my ego hang on others views of who i am.
You are valuable. You will never exist again,there is only one you. Encourage yourself, count yourself as important and write yourself to life..

-Lesson
You don't always need comfort from others,
You're left alone to be strong,
Your emotions rage with no refuge,
So you can strengthen your nature,your character..
Sometimes,only you know what you need to hear.
Be there for yourself no matter how lonely it feels,because really you're all you've really got.

Trust
God never sleeps,
Though it may feel like He has blinked on us when things go amiss,
He hasn't. He is forever aware of everything that happens to you. He allows it for a purpose. He is worthy of all trust,His grace is forever enough. Trust Him.
Let your trust in Him be your hope.

Eventually,.
Life can be crazy,
It's hard to drag yourself through it sometimes because you don't know why things are happening the way they are happening,
But to press on no matter what;is the ultimate win. To realise life itself is hope and to live hoping on the morrow.
Eventually things turn out fine,eventually we see the reasons why..
Do not give up,the bigger the challenge,the bigger the win. The bigger your struggles,the greater your victory!

Tip..
Do not
Force people
To see in you,
What they can not see
Effortlessly..
Because at the end of it all,we choose to see what we want to see in everyone.

THE MAN
Crown of grace on his head,
Life on his lips,
The world on his shoulders,
Love in his arms,
Hard work in his hands,
Strength in his legs,
Endurance on his feet.

Mind filled with burdens,
But a heart so kind.
Peace is his breath,
Love,his language.

Empty stomach,
Yet feeding others.
Bleeding,hurting internally.
Yet clothing others' wounds.
THE MAN.

Worth
Often times when unappreciated,
We feel our value decrease,our ego crushed and our abilities downgraded,
But really our value should not rely on what others think,
It should rely on what we know of ourselves,
Trust and believe in yourself,
It wont matter if no one else does,
Respect yourself;only someone with no self respect wont respect you,
Placing our value on how people see us or what they say of us is not stable,
Because people see us the way they see themselves,they treat us the way they treat themselves.
And if they don't treat themselves right,they wont treat you right.
Therefore you do not want to base your value on how someone else values themselves or not.
Know your worth.

SELF LOVE
It is impossible to give what you do not have,
Therefore,if you do not have love. You can not love,
If you do not love yourself,you can not love another.

Life is hope
Never lose hope in a living being or a situation,
A day can change anything,
Time brings all things to pass.
Life is hope.
No matter how seemingly hopeless,
Do not ever lose hope.
It's that knot you hold on to at the end of a rope.
Do not lose hope,
Life is hope.
Nov 2018 · 211
Your worth
When we do not know the value of something,we abuse it.
Don't feel like you're not good enough just because of how people may treat you,
Understand that they do not know your worth,therefore they do not know how to handle you,
Not everyone will look at you and see your potential.
So don't take everything that's done against you personal,sometimes it's done in order to remind you of your own worth.
It's not that you are unworthy, it's just that they do not know your worth.
Nov 2018 · 391
You matter
Never look down on yourself,
Realise your value,
You matter,
You are worth loving,
You are worth dying for,
You matter.
It doesn't matter if they forget your name,
Or write you off,
You still matter,
God knows you,
All your pain and struggles,
All your secrets and shame,but His love still does not change,
It forever remains endless,limitless,conditionless..
You matter.
Jesus loves you,
He lived just to die for you.
Introversion is not a disease,
Please don't pity me when you find me sitting on my own.
Believe me when I say i'm happy on my own,
I appreciate your company but I love more time with me.
I've spent less time with myself and I realised it did me no good.
Do not feel bad for me,
Introversion is not a disease..

Impossibility
I now know for sure,
That impossibility is just a word.

If GOD is imaginary
If God is imaginary,
Then He is by far the greatest and most realistic figment of imagination,
If God is imaginary,
Why can i see a touch of supernatural power on every beautiful scenery
If God is imaginary,
Why does my heart get calm when i have that little conversation in my heart with my Heavenly Father?
If God is imaginary,
Why has my mind searched for truth and still found itself in Him?
If God is imaginary,
Why is there such a deep need to search His existence?
If God is imaginary,
Why can't one who doesn't believe in Him just brush off the idea of his existence and not strive to prove He doesn't exist?
Well if God was imaginary, this whole earth would be imaginary.
God is real.

"Attachment"
Being free from attachment is the ultimate freedom,
Peace of mind is its gift,
Letting go of pre conceived ideas and living life as it is,
Taking one day at a time,
Not judging anyone based on what you already know but taking each as an individual,
Let go,
Attachment kills peace of mind.
Making you think you know when you just think,
Attachment makes you stuck,
Stuck with the wrong person,
Stuck in past ideas,
Stuck in the same surrounding,
Stuck in the same old mind,
Attachment glues you to nothing new.
Let go,
Let go.

The beauty of life
Only your eyes have the ability to see the beauty of your life,
Only your mind has the ability to live in the beauty of your life,
Only your hands have the ability to create the beauty of your life.

To love
To love
Is to trust,
To love

To love
Is to be loyal,
To love,
Is to be patient,
To love,
Is to be selfless,
To love,
Is to be kind.

HATRED
Hatred hurts,
It hurts the hater.
It makes you feel they deserve it,
But do you deserve it?
Do you deserve to be killing yourself slowly?
Hatred steals,
It steals your joy,
It takes healing far from you,
Hatred betrays you,
It makes you think it's there for you,
It comforts you,
But guess what? It's deception.
Hatred is in no way close to revenge,
To let go of hatred is the ultimate win.
To hate is to lose,
You lose your peace of mind,
Allowing the people you don't want in your life to live in your head,
Is far worse than dropping the pride and letting go.


LOVE YOURSELF ENOUGH TO NOT ALLOW HATRED RULE YOU.

Songs
Some songs speak to the soul,
The instruments,
The voices,
Everything in the song just comes together,
To make us feel renewed,
To give us hope,
Such are great songs.
A song that immediately changes how you feel.
Music is an art that speaks to the soul,
It makes you feel what you never thought you had inside of you.

Never waste your pain
Lessons learnt from pain stick the most,
As you heal,you learn.
As you learn you grow.

Pain makes you appreciate the good times you took for granted,
Pain humbles you,
Pain helps us see through different eyes.

Pain makes us stronger,
Capable of enduring and more patient.

Its despicable,yes it is. It hurts,yes it does. But when we learn from it,we can appreciate it.
Judas never planned to betray Jesus but it happened because he had to,if he hadn't betrayed him he wouldn't have died for us. He could have delayed the process, if Peter hadn't denied Jesus he would have thought he was perfect,a saint of loyalty.
But some things happen to us because they just have to happen in order to push us to greater heights and to teach us things that we wouldn't have ever known,sometimes our destiny pointers come from the betrayals we face. It's some peoples role in your life to betray you in order to catapult you for greatness. For every pain there is gain,never lose hope. Trust the process of you becoming the better you waiting to become. No matter how much it hurts,hold on. Greatness is never easy to attain,it's from endurance and strength built through struggles.

Reality check
You can never heal or fix someone emotionally,

In order to heal; one must decide they want healing.,

              Or


You may try and end up needing the healing yourself.

Adding sugar
To poison,
Does not make it less toxic,
Adding salt
To sand,
Does not make it edible.
Many times we try to sugar coat situations,hoping they will absorb the goodness and actually change. But some things have to be seen for what they are and only then can they be fixed.

Gods love
Countless times,
You saved me.
Times i never realised i was in trouble,
You came to my rescue,
In times when i feel hopeless,
You strengthen my belief.
Life is no nice walk in the park,
But knowing i'm never alone,
I am comforted by your love and by your Grace..
I will forever thank you.
Your mercies are forever.
Your love is forever..

The tongue
Its words cut through flesh,
They go straight to the heart..
They sink in the mind,they linger in there and forever they stay.
They resound like an echo,
And like nightmares,they scream.
Therefore,use your tongue wisely.
Aug 2018 · 397
Broken things cut..
In the process of trying to fix something you didn't break,you end up cutting yourself,hurting yourself.

Missing
We miss things that are missing,
People we can't see,
Things we can no longer touch,
Hearts whose beats we can no longer hear or feel,
A love that was once beautiful,
Dreams that we no longer have the courage to dream of,
That one magical moment that left us breathless.
We miss what lives in our hearts.

YOU ARE NEVER ALONE
No matter how you feel,
You should know that you are never alone.
Someone somewhere has been through something similar and survived,you can survive too.
If pain gave out a dark colour,the world would be dark. It would be night forever.
But again maybe if pain was written on every face, we would judge people less and accept them as they are. We would help each other and not step on each other. We would carry each others burdens.
Hold on,and as you hold on,be nice to people. Most people are hurting,thats exactly why more people keep getting hurt because as they say "hurt people,hurt people".
If you need someone to talk to,there are people willing to listen. They love you and they care about you. I'm here too,any day any time.

Pruning
Like a plant,
You sometimes need to prune the dead parts of you in order to let the new parts grow.
Hanging on to dead things won't awaken them.,they'll keep rotting and cause harm to the whole lot of you.
Prune definition:trim (a tree, shrub, or bush) by cutting away dead or overgrown branches or stems, especially to encourage growth.


Holding on to a dead part of our lives is usually due to attachment as well as lack of faith in the new that will spring out after the old is gone.
Prune the dead relationships,interractions and the past that only brings you down.
Trust your instincts,prune whats dead to your life and begin life afresh.

Be there for your self
Sometimes
You
Have
To,
Hold your own hand,
Pat your own back,
Blow your own horn..
Not to be selfish,
But to learn to be there for your self when no one else is there for you.

PAIN
Pain is broken trust,
Pain is a smile holding back tears,
Pain is a must,
Pain is being ruled by your fears,
Pain is aiming for numbness,
Pain is seeking attention,
Pain is emptiness,
Pain is a deep emotion,
Pain is feeling lost in your own head,
Pain is losing sleep,
Pain is when good things fade,
Pain is deep.

REAL!TY CHECK..
BEAUTY

You are beautiful,
But how long will that beauty last?
Don't treat the one that loves you like a fool,
Just because your options are vast,
A day will come when the beauty will fade,
Thats a thought most of us dread,
But it is reality,
Infact beauty is vanity,
Of course it is good to look at,
But what about what is in the heart?

MORTAL BODY

The body with time deteriorates,
Its like each day is a count down,
No,i'm not perssimistic.
Satisfy your soul,fulfill it.
As for your body, don't let it lead you astray.
Control it.
Love it,own it. You will never live anywhere else but in it. Embrace it..
Jul 2018 · 331
Be kind to yourself
Be kind to yourself,
You are the one you listen to the most.
You are the one you live with every second,
You are your greatest asset.
Be kind to yourself.
What you think of yourself,
Matters more than what "they" think of you,
Only you can be worst enemy,
Only you can be your biggest fan,
Sometimes no words from anyone can make you feel whole again,
Only that conversation between you and your Creator makes things right within you.
Sometimes its not words of comfort that we need but words of life,
Words that ignite our faith.
Humanly speaking,my body will decay.. i will not live forever,but while i live,i will fulfill my hearts desires. I will remember that the only things i will ever regret on my death bed are the things i did not do because i feared what they would say,
Call this philosophy wrong,but it does not matter. In a place so confused,i can only choose to live by my rules and principles on which my Faith is based.

Acceptance...
Before
You expect
others to accept
You,you first have
To accept yourself...
Let not the validation of others be your pillar. Seek strength within yourself. Love who you are first before you seek love from others. And when you love yourself,it does not matter who does not love you.

Love is a choice
You choose to love,
The feeling of love never lasts,
What lasts is the choice to choose to last,
It makes love last and live.

Addicted
Sometimes you're not in love,
You're addicted,
Your heart knows it's wrong,
But your mind has put so much effort in it and thrived on it so much that it doesn't want to let go.
It's not always love,sometimes it's addiction,
Even on days that you find out what you have is not going to last,
You still go back,
Even after finding out they are not good for you,
You still stick to them..
You may be addicted.
