My friends are Lions!

They are strong and they are brave,

They seek alike and find it, 

They move slowly and deliberately, 

as they want and as they wish.

They are wounded and wear a crown upon their head,

A crown of hurt and pain, experience and wisdom,

They fight like no other, they win by themselves, 

They don't compete, they don't need to, 

Their music is growl and they roar when they sing,

Their pride is sticking together and the bond of unity.

Like a juggernaut they tear through life,

The competition is within,

Overcoming the mind, the thoughts.

The battle commences daily, 

Relentlessly fighting the sharp poking and prodding of the enemy through the bars of the dark cage.

Then one day there is the escape,

The bars shattered,

And freedom again reigns,

The enemy is devoured,

Through heart and through fight,

And only then is the tunnel vision to the Light realised and roar of victory heard throughout the Kingdom.

It is a Gift

Suffering is a lesson,

It is a gift,

What is taken will be given back and multiplied. 

Suffering destroys arrogance, 

It sharpens faith, 

It directs our zeal to humility. 

Suffering is the reason for strength,

It is the reason for experience, 

It is the reason for gratitude and for love.

This is why the downtrodden, the crippled, the sick, the weak, the tortured and the least are great,

This is why we are resurrected by humility alone. 

If one thinks we heal by "self" alone, this again is pride, 

We by ourselves are nothing,

Without God we die,

Disbelief is a falsehood,

Disbelief is a lie,

It's a trap and a snare,

We cannot thank ourselves,

We cannot thank luck or fate,

We cannot thank men or the universe for our healing,

Fore none are creators, none are intelligent and none can be trusted,

Fore only by faith in God, not in ourselves do we survive and live.

The crushed and the destroyed can only mend and repair,

They can only rise,

Fore this is the justice of God,

Watch and see that God is love,

Watch and witness this happen as I speak,

Watch and see it happen before your very eyes!

The therapists chair (a true story)

I was in a therapists room, 

Sat on the chair,

They looked at me and spoke,

I looked away,

Again, they looked at me and spoke,

I looked away again.

There was silence for a moment,

Then I saw a picture of the last supper on the wall in front of me.

The therapist asked me about my problems,

I said I've been bullied,

"Why do you think they bullied you?" She asked. 

I paused for a while.

I replied, "because they were afraid."

"What of?" she asked.

Yet again I paused and felt sad, and bowed my head.

Then I looked up to the picture of the last supper.

And replied, "The Truth!"

The therapy concluded. 

By God's Grace

I talk to myself,

Or so it seems,

"Do your best, try your hardest?!" I say.

I'm talking to the demons and satan himself.

"You won't beat me, you won't destroy me, your not going to make me despair."

"Christ has my back and the Mother of God is always close. My Guardian Angel is with me, as are The Holy Saints.

I pray and I have faith."

"I've been in despair before, I rose again, with the help of The Almighty.

And if I despair again, I will rise again. Never will I remain down.

You have my word."

"You can keep on pursuing your goal to make me lose my faith in despair, 

bring it on, 

It's no challenge for me,

By God's Grace."

Where's your evidence???

There's more evidence that Jesus existed than there is for Aristotle, Plato, Thucydides and even Julius Caesar existed to name only a few, do you believe they existed? 400 eye witnesses witnessed Jesus's Resurrection, and why would anyone die for a lie? Including people who met Him, and throughout the ages and to this day, people die for Christ. Are you bitter and blind? Where's the evidence life comes from nothing? Science proves life comes from life. Hence creation is true and this means it requires an intelligent mind, namely God. And I ask again where your evidence it's wrong? Back up your argument please? Also the historical, archaeological and even scientific evidence shows Jesus is real and The Bible is real and true! Emotions are not just chemical reactions, how would you explain love for example or honesty or jealousy or hurt or anger or fear or joy? and things don't happen just by coincidence or chance. How can you trust yourself if you don't know what your senses are telling you are true, if we're just made from chance and the accident of chemical reactions? Millions upon millions of things in the universe point towards the reality of Jesus Christ as God, three examples, the Cross shaped molecule that holds the body together. The Cross in the middle of galaxy's and black holes in outerspace, and the divine spark at conception. These are only three examples of millions. All the places Jesus visited still exist archaeologically and people experience Miracles regularly. You just need to be open minded and research honestly, and you too could have faith in Christ +

Truth is Revealed

I was furious because of disrespect!

I was furious and I asked why me?! 

I was furious and it led to despair!

I was furious and I began to not care!

Then one day there was a seed of Hope and I saw this plain and clear,

That pride always comes before a fall and the Truth is always revealed,

In timing of perfection,

With the climax of Easter and The Resurrection!

So I fell into despair as a lesson, 

and I learnt my lesson well,

My lesson was to show and not tell,

To try and perfect myself by showing in words as a poet, 

By showing here what I learnt and this is the crux, 

the Truth is constant and not a state of flux.

There is no hope in pride and arrogance,

There is no hope in manifestation and vibration,

There is no hope in manipulation and aggression,

There is no hope in intoxication and narcotic assimilation. 

Hope is faith in the unseen, faith will bring kinder times, uplifting times, joyful times!

Only with humility and sacrifice, and selflessness will brighter times arrive,

This is why we strive.

And if hope is not believed in?

and is a mere abstract concept?

Where too is love and kindness, and peace?

But, Love is real, kindness is real, peace is real, that's why it is wrong to hurt, maim and kill. 

Cain and Abel had a brother named Seth, 

The bloodline continued,

This was a sign of the power of The Creator, 

And the influence He Imbued.

Humility shows this,

Look and see and ask, 

And do not bask

In your own thoughts,

Fore it will lead to despair

And separation from Truth,

Bring joy from true knowledge

And only then will Hope you acknowledge!

Love has arrived... ⭐ 👑 🙏

 It's a cold morning in the desert and all is clear and quiet.

The kings travel from afar, and yet again they gaze toward the guiding Star.

They follow the Star as it guides their path to the place, the place of Holiness, Humility and utmost Grace. 

A Star like no other, such brightness, such beauty, that shepherds also see. Leaving the fields in wonder they await to witness their Holy Majesty. 

First the shepherds meet The Shepherd and then the kings meet The King, they fall to their knees in awe and worship with gifts they did bring. 

For the child who is born a miraculous yet humble birth in a manger, and they declare "God is with us!" He is not distant, He is not a stranger, but He is Love and Truth, and He holds us in His arms when we need comfort, He carries us on His shoulders when we are weak, He finds us when it is Him we seek. 

"God is with us" we must praise His Name Emmanuel!

He is everywhere present and filling all things, He is near, He is not far away and all we need to do is ask and say, Thank you, thank you dear God.
