Poetic-Praises
I have loved my husband and been married for a very long time but after years,
it's all a handful of wind.
I have bring children into this life and raise them the way I though its best,
today they are grown and live their own life's.
I have bought everything that I would like and my heart is contended with my earthly possessions but it still does not satisfy my soul.
I have lived my life by trying to do good, and better myself as a person,
but for whom that I have done it, did not notice my efforts.
Every important dream that I had, past away,
and I have discovered that it is much nicer to have a dream as the reality.
Dreams do not disappoint nor had any limits.
All is possible in dreams but also dreams are a lie
and leave us with emptiness.
Actually, dreams are a way of escaping from reality.
I have been exceedingly happy by times and I know the depths of sorrow.
But luckily, I have concluded that there is only one thing in life that really maters
and it is to love God with my whole being.
God's love has the ability to satisfy my hungry soul,
His love cleanse me and cause me to bear the fruit of the Spirit.
This love brings me in touch with people and their needs.
This love is delightful.
My deepest moments of pure joy are to be in the throne room, worshipping my Creator.
How great is the joy when I am sitting in church
and the words are such a revelation, feeding my spirit.
Not to talk about the joy of losing myself in praising God,
it is un-describable happiness.
This joy motivates me to keep on living and serving God.
This love changed my ways –
I am no longer walking by my needs and desires but by the word of God.
Yes, I have found my Maker also in the deepest times of despair.
I know His power to carry me through the valleys of death.
I know His power of protection and His hand to wipe away all my doubt and fear
and the amazement when He draws me closer to Him to heal my brokenness.
There is only one thing really matters
and its to love, serve and obey God in everything everyday.
There is now higher pleasure to compare with these things:
When I minister to people and I saw the brokenness of them, I cried with them.
When I listen to their testimonies, I rejoice with them.
When I hear about the needs of people I intercede for them.
I have discovered a great truth in life,
it's to care for “Gods Household”, and He will cares for mine.
This is my reason for living, not to be concern about what I shall eat or drink,
but what about the others, the lost the wounded and the very young Christians
that still battle to get free from the grip of Satan.
