Principles

To be strong and to be kind

remain as you are,

Strong and kind.

To be honest and to be truthful

remain as you are,

Honest and truthful.

To keep your honour and dignity

remain as you are,

Honourable and dignified.

Do not let people, money or thoughts change you.

They try to tempt you, whisper in your ear and smile seductively, come hither they say, listen, do this and don't tell anyone, they won't know.

I say stand firm and let your heart rule, not your mind.

There's always a right choice, there's always a way, there's always the path of goodness.

Never degrade yourself for power, 

Keep your humility and continue with courage.

Speak the truth and defy power with your principles.

The fragility of life

Near death in a hospital bed,

Beeps and buzzing, machines and computers, 

Technology keeping my death at bay?

Or does life continue if and when I pray?

Worries and fears, anxiety and tears.

Emotions last forever do they not?

Do we get a second chance or is this my one and only shot?

Comatosed and paralysed, it couldn't get worse. Is there meaning? Or is it a curse?

Then my mother and brother visited me, they never ceased to pray.

To the one only God, Jesus Christ, who relentlessly hears what we say. 

The Virgin Mary visited me herself and my Guardian Angel is forever by my side, they cannot be seen, but never leave me and never hide. 

They see me full in the face, with gentle eyes and loving kindness, prayer truly is miraculous, and healing love is forever continuous.

Suffering happens to make me humble, and to guide me to eternity, with encouragement and effort I awaken!

Still paralysed, but I'm alive! My eyes are open, still dull and weak, but the demons have fled and satan never came near to my bed!

The power and the glory are His for sure, I rise again and accept my fate, there's no fear or anger or hate, but a stronger faith and greater heart, from Love of the Truth I'm never apart!

Be that person

Why is life so cruel??

Why are people so cruel??

Because true beauty and kindness are special and rare!

When most forget you and pass you by, that one will say, I'm with you! I'll help you! You can rely on me! 

That comfort from rarity is the reason

We are touched, it's the reason we are not alone and the reason we matter.

People can make a difference if they want to,

They can lend a hand,

They can say a kind word,

They can be there,

But it is rare.

Be the reason someone smiles in their heart.

And you will feel the Grace of God.

In times of pain

In times of pain,

In times when you feel weary and low, 

When you ask yourself why? Why me?

You ask yourself why are people like that?

What did I do wrong?

You felt the brutality and intimidation of life and you feel yourself slipping, you feel angry and weak. You feel negativity is taking over your mind and you feel like giving up.

Then, you experience a gentleness...

You see a friendly face,

You hear a voice of encouragement,

You read a kind word,

You feel a strong and powerful presence and you feel comforted that you're not alone,

That others are with you and understand you, and care for you...

It is in these dark times when you must dig your deepest, not to get lower or closer to your grave, but to fight for your life and rise again. To rise again wiser and to rise again stronger.

It is in these times, in these challenging times when we are made, when we show who we are and we fight and we keep fighting with every sinew of strength until we feel at peace again.

You will get there, because you have it in you to get there! and you will feel at peace again!

Persist

People knock you and you punch through a brick wall.

Darkness surrounds you, you're feeling fear, vultures encircle.

You're in the Lions Den, scared and weak, 

There's talk and rumor,

relief couldn't come sooner.

You hope and pray for that day when you're carried and begin your climb, sailing past the far off distant winning line.

The dark mist covers your mind, your body feels inferior,

The weight is heavy, your shoulders collapse,

The journey is extreme, but it is the journey that gives you your strength.

You carried the Globe on your back, now you're kicking the ball to your goal. 

You run with zest and determination, things still fly at you, but you've risen to the task, 

You slip the negative and remain elevated,

The bullets bounce off and you persist, still motivated.

There's always a way,

Bring on the challenge, bring on the fight, 

you're stronger than you think when your back is gotten, you're never forgotten.

The power of the two words,

The power of I AM,

REMEMBER...

when I am weak, then I AM strong. 

This is courage, this is resistance, with this you're an inspiration..

Your affirmation must be greater than yourself!

Then anything is possible!

Persist.

Take Heed

I'm not the greatest, I'm not the least, but I'm a soldier and I'm fighting to save my soul.

As everything stems from thoughts,Be careful how you think,Be aware of emotions,They penetrate the heart and soul affecting our decisions and actions.

I have my gifts, but I'm nothing special, I have faith. Targeted by demons and satan himself, I ask for The Saviour's mercy, I ask Him to fill me with His Grace and for my soul to be calm. Full with love and compassion He makes the steps to Heaven attainable, for with God nothing is impossible. 

Under attack I pray from my heart, with as much humility as I can. Humility is the key, It's the only thing satan can never have. With humility you cannot be touched by evil. You cannot be swayed.satan will always tempt you and the closer you are to God, the harder his attacks become. But with prayer from the heart and humility he will never win. 

One must understand that Jesus Christ is doing everything to save you. The onslaughts, the obstacles, the trauma, it's all to shape our soul, it's all for our life, to be made humble and to attain the Heavenly Kingdom.

Take heed and have courage. You can have victory. You know what you must do. Do it.

Glory to God, The Almighty!

A matter of life or death

When cracks appear and you break it's what you needed for your own good. 

Then on the path to recovery you make a decision, either be good and get stronger or be evil and become weaker. The good path says I'm going to better myself with humility, the evil path says I'm going to get even via revenge on those to blame and on those innocent, because evil feels terrible and empty, and prideful and is destructive to others and to the self. 

When good and evil collide, good hurts through the aggressive intent of evil, but the strength and experience gained by good enables them to pull through. Whereas there is no healing for evil, it's corrupt and bitter, and remains corrupt and bitter until a day and that day may never come, when a truly GENUINE sorry is uttered. Though this is rare, it's possible and it's life changing. 

So you see, good has the power. 

Good has the warmth of heart and ability to transform. 

When cracks appear thank God, He's trying to heal you and save you. Accept His hand, it's a matter of life or death.
