Symphonies Of Truth

God inhabits the praises of His people.  Therefore,  when in doubt, praise Him. When in pain, praise Him. When in fear, praise Him. When in despair, praise Him. And you will see His glory reign in your life and the wonderful things that He would do.

Simba: You knew my father?  Rafiki: Correction I know your father.  Simba: I hate to tell you this, but he died a long time ago. Rafiki: Nope, wrong again (laughs).  He's alive and I will show him to you. You follow Rafiki, he knows the way. (Music playing) They run into the forest until they stop in front of a stream. Rafiki: Stop shh look down there.  Simba proceeds to look down the stream.  He looks down and sees a reflection of himself and sighs and says, "that's not my father, it's just my reflection. Rafiki: No, lookout there. Simba proceeds to look at where Rafiki points, the look of the water changes and he sees his father. Rafiki: You see, he lives in you Mufasa appears in the clouds Mufasa: Simba  Simba: father  Mufasa: Simba, you have forgotten me Simba: No, how could I?  Mufasa: You have forgotten who you are and so you have forgotten me.  Look inside yourself Simba, you are more than what you have become. You must take your place in the circle of life. Sim

Last year on this blog, I wrote about the fault being in us and not in our stars and how our actions are a ripple effect that governs the things that will eventually take place in our lives. I spoke on the principle of sowing and reaping. However, since then, I have come to realize that there is much more to life than us and the decisions we make. Whether we choose to believe it, we do not govern ourselves. There is a reason why the bible states that the whole world lies under the influence of the evil one. Ephesians 2:1-3 states that  God quickened us, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past, we walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. As you can see, free will

I thank God for where He has brought me, and where I am as a person, and the job he has given me. However, I remember once when I was crying out to God, asking Him why I was here and why I did not deserve to be here. Before saying what He told me, let me give you a back story... Finally, I got a job after two years of unemployment. I finally got a JOB! It isn't the job of my dreams but it is a job, and I have had to start at the very bottom of the food chain with a salary that is next to nothing. Nevertheless, it is a job and I'm grateful for it. Anyways, I have this job, and I have worked for a while at the company and there have been instances where I hated the job and loved the job, depending on the situations. Thus I went through this hate/love, hate/love tug of war until I fell into a deep sadness and I realized I was not in love with my job and I wanted more. Give me more! Give me more! More pay! A better position! A better everything! You know, they always say you should

I think 🤔 one of the most important things I have learnt in life is God's magnificent love towards us.  I don't mean feeling or knowing He loves us, but understanding and having knowledge of His love towards us.  I have always struggled with faith and struggled with accepting where I am and where God has taken me.   I have always complained about this and that, never satisfied with what I have and what God has given me. Never wondering if there are lessons to be learned in all these and reasons for God doing what He is doing. Nevertheless,  when I began to gain knowledge and understanding of God's love, it led me to a better understanding of faith and who God is. I mean His love is so pure and so true that His thoughts towards us are of good not of evil to bring us to an expected end!  EXPECTED NOT UNEXPECTED! Meaning an end that is going to happen. When we have an understanding and knowledge of the love God has for us, we can trust Him and have complete faith in Him. He l

You would think that after losing a dear friend I would be up in arms ready to fight God and anyone who tried to comfort me or reassure me. You would think I would be full of hate and anger, but that was not the case. I was sad and in despair and somewhat depressed but it did not draw me away from God, it only drew me closer. Life is very fleeting, it's like a flower. Here today looking beautiful in the sun and then gone tomorrow, blown by the wind. No one knowing where it has gone. So why would I move away from an all-knowing, all-powerful and all-loving God when I can learn from the one who created me and is moulding me into the person He created me to be. I learnt that what we do on earth is useless if the afterlife leads us to the one place we all dread and most of us don't believe exists or don't want to believe exists. What is the point of all these qualifications and accomplishments if they don't lead to the narrow path that leads us to the home Jesus spoke about

PAIN What is it? Why is it a part of life? Why are you so familiar but yet so mysterious? What do you want? You come in different shapes, forms and sizes. Sometimes you are expected and other times you are unexpected.  However, even in those different times, you are unwanted. What do you want from humanity? What do you want from me? What do you hope to achieve? Sometimes you are emotional, physical, mental, spiritual, governmental, economic, medical.  The list goes on... You have no face, yet you have been seen, tasted, felt, touched. Why do we need you to grow and develop? What is your purpose? Your hugs are too tight! They are not hugs! They are daggers in my back, my body, my lungs, my mind.  I can't breathe, I can't be with you. I have been through a lot with you. I have grown and changed and matured in some ways. In other ways... I have been broken, shattered. If I have a choice, I would choose not to know you than to taste your kiss of death. I'm alive but it feels li

Change mocks us with her beauty, she plays with our emotions and she leads us astray. First, it starts with a kiss and a hug and you think, 'this is what I need'.  Then the process of letting change in begins.  Things happen but they never happen the way we expect them to.  You become sceptical, unsure, pining for the old, the past; where life was comfortable and known. Craving to return but unable to return, feeling unstable.  You have to face her, you have to accept her into your embrace while remembering that God has you. His ways are not your ways and His thoughts are not your thoughts, they are higher. There are two sides to change. The first side is the normal side, the side that is inevitable but yet unpredictable. The side people look forward to but yet at the same time sometimes dread. The surprising and shocking side, the slow and fast side, the beautiful and yet ugly side. The second side is the artificial side... Oh, so we think! I say artificial because we dr

I decided to end the year 2020 by counting down to 2021 when there were just ten days left in the year. Normally when I count down, I would start counting from the next day instead of the present-day because it seemed to make the days go faster. However, I decided to start counting from the present day for some reason. At first, I thought I was doing it just to be different from everyone else.  Then I realised it was because I wanted to make the conscious decision of living every day fully, instead of jumping the gun and ignoring the present day just so I could feel things were moving fast.   Doing this, I realised how many moments I had missed because I simply chose not to acknowledge the present day and focused on the future.  There always seems to be something awaiting us in the future that takes our attention away from the present, but the thing is, we end up doing ourselves a disservice by not acknowledging the Gift God has given us.....  The ability and time to live fully in the

Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there was a big fat king and a skinny little pauper. One day, the king and the pauper bumped into a magic genie. Well, the genie was in a fantastic mood, so he offered them both one wish each. Of course, the king loudly shared his. "I wish, I wish for all the gold in the world!" Now it was the pauper's turn to make his own wish. The pauper walked to a corner and turned away from the king and the genie.  He shut his eyes and said, "I wish I wish I wish I wish." Years later, the king and the pauper met again and the king was now driven demented with Gold! It was in his socks, his boots, under his pillow... The pauper, well the pauper was now the happiest man alive. The king was desperate to know what in the name of God did the pauper wish for? The king pleaded and pleaded. "Tell me your wish! Tell me your wish!" The pauper smiled, "alright hmm, I'll tell you. I wished I wished I wished I wished." The pau
