THE SINNER’S SAVED


I try to understand but…
This head is empty, empty for want of reasons
I go down on my knees but…
These knees are hurting, hurting under the weight of guilt and fear
I lift up my hands but…
These hands are dirty, dirty from my unclean activities
I try to utter words of regret but…
This tongue is motionless, motionless because it cannot justify the excuses
I try, I do try hard most of the times but it seems to weigh me down all the time
The weight of sin, making me tag along paths I could have easily avoided
Widening the gap, the gap I created between my Saviour and I
This world is twisted but…
For GRACE, I’ve been made RIGHTEOUS!

FOOTPRINTS...


Many are the people we meet on life's journey but few are them that have lasting effects on us.

One of these few people is a true reflection of happiness, an unequivocal gem and a real beauty to reckon with. Her smooth brown skin, proportionately endowed feminine features and beautiful round eyes give her that complete look of a cute lady. When she smiles, her well arranged set of teeth sparkle from their hideout in slightly parted succulent lips. That smile can take anyone off guard. She has an innate rare quality of exuberance that is always radiated whenever she is around anyone. This attracts to her all the love there is to behold.

Gracious are her bold steps, well calculated and carefully executed to match her alluring figure. Her inner beauty however surpasses all there is to be experienced. She has a heart like that of a dove; peaceful and reassuring and she demonstrates pure, gentle care whiles watching as keen as the eagle. Her silky voice raises the hairs on one’s body comfortingly and when she sings, she sounds so angelic. Her choice of dressing shows she is a true connoisseur of fashion trends and oh, her home sense coupled with her sumptuous meals always makes one come back for more!

No one is perfect but being awesome is a an attitude she easily expresses. Hence she admits it when she is at fault and induces positive energy in everyone around her. Her high sense of decency makes her more adorable to all and sundry. Despite all these, her fragile heart has been tampered with and broken on many occasions. Is it a crime to find true love? Well, it is almost always nearly a mirage when one is swayed by desires and dictates of benefactors. She could best be described as a victim of circumstances but hey, “no pain, no gain”. There is still that bright light radiating warm, inviting rays at the other end of the tunnel.

Bae, you are different, young, intelligent, elegant, full of vigour and are ready to take on the world. Through the thin and thick of life, you have and are still learning that life is not as rosy as it appears. There is no reason to rush. Rest assured that with time, everything will be alright. Face each day at a time and yes, you can achieve whatever you set your mind to!

……You are really a GIFT!
