Chapter One

Revelations

Thanksgiving to My Lord

Thanksgiving to you, oh my Lord, I didn’t know who I was

For, you know all my iniquities and my stubbornness

But yet, you still selected me to live eternally in your kingdom

It wasn’t until you made revelation to me,

the things I should do and even, when my family wasn’t always at my pace.  

These were your words;

1 John 4:4-Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

So, thank you because you live in me.

The day has come, when I have received my reward.

For, I am a child with faith and have authority over evil.

Halleluiah

Should I tell them Lord, that I have known for sometime now?

Should I tell them Lord, that my suffering wasn’t in vain?

In among many blessings, should I tell them of the book, lottery and salvation among those that I love?

For, if I tell them the things of the spirit, they shall not understand,

but as you said, I must spread the good news.

And I shall not be ashamed or keep it to myself because many are those that are still lost.

I shall tell them that they must believe in Jesus Christ as their saviour.

And they shall inherit richness and shall they be blessed forever.

For, they will know the father through Jesus Christ.

I give thanks!

I Found

STRUGGLE was my middle name,

born in a place never WANTED.

Born with a SUFFERING breath,

so my FATE was carved in a rock.

A ROCK lost in the wilderness.

ENERGY was taken from me.

LOVE decided to back down on me.

HOPE just never showed up in the first place.
