Paradise Waiting To Be Uncovered

Rustic 

Ancient 

Older than Mandela 

Nothing is changed

Gates are rusty

There is electricity and water 

So it isn't so bad they say

Look how much we have achieved

Together we can do more the ANC says

One hundred years of existence the party boasts

A party it was for the ANC for a

whole year 

Celebrating dead heroes

Their philosophy begging for resurrection

A monument is enough the party says

For now they drink and dine in fine wines

This community can tell you in person what happened in Marikana 

No raise followed 

Just death and life as normal

Continues as it had since Colonialism

Yet paradise waits here

Paradise waits to be seen and unveiled beneath the unfulfilled promises 

Paradise waits behind the cloud of lack of vision

Even children are ready for more

Motion with Happy endings

There are times where we go the wrong direction. It may look right and feel right but when it ends, it reveals itself to be a false path.

But then sometimes you simply could not have taken a better path.

It leads you to happy endings. I think I am taking that train this time around.

I am taking that train with pleasant views and yet still offers me more and more still.

Here is to happy endings!

I'll toast to that.

Happy ending of 2012 everybody. See you 2013 with God's grace.

What is Freedom

Freedom. What does that look like?

Freedom. Will you seek it if you knew just how much you lacked it. I want to see what freedom looks like as given generously by the Lord. The image of David breaking out into a dance before the Lord comes into mind. Freedom to bring down a giant with a stone while everyone trembled. The freedom of Jonathan to take on an army with his armor bearer while his father and his army were lost in confusion and weakened. Freedom to be unafraid of death like Stephen lost in bliss seeing the Messiah exalted as they stoned him. I conclude that Freedom is the absence of fear.

2Cor  3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is freedom.

1st Love

Do you remember the first scriptures that came alive for you?

Remember your first excitement when you first heard God's voice?

Remember when you first obeyed God's word and the feeling you had when you experienced your first miracles.

Remember your first answered prayers?

Remember your first love.

What did you do with it all?

Do the things you did at first.

*Rev 2:4-7 WEB

But I have this against you, that you left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your lampstand out of its place, unless you repent. But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of my God.

All things are ready, if our minds be so.
