To Love and Not Live

We hurt the ones we love by the things we say, or the things we didn’t say…
They feel excruciating pain from the things we do, or we just didn’t do…
A scar is made from expectations they never expressed and which were never met…





Oh Love ! Answer me these three questions: Is love not painful?
Is not love the greatest source of joy?
Is not love the greatest source of sorrow?
How we crave much from those who love us and those we love too…
How we think so much of the little things they say or do and what these mean too…






Though to live and not love is to grow with a hole in your heart…
Though to love and not live is to grow dreams apart…
I would rather to love and be burnt and live and be hurt than never to love and never to live…

She is Crying


She is crying, she is sobbing
Hurt by love
She pity herself
Harmed by care
Disarmed by control
She grows bitter
Angry and cold
For love is brother to pain
For love is fire to one
Love drives another insane
She wants her love
But he is avoiding
Perhaps hiding
Behind her unforgiving heart
She tells her secret to man pushing a hand cart
A bird took it and went off
Now she feels hated
Not real
Adopted pain
 In a dream
All in her dream
Now she awakes
A knife in her hand
Blood on the fan
A mourning dove
Why do we hurt the ones we love

Inspiration from my cousin

How often do you get into trouble because of words you have used, whether directly or indirectly?

Today one of my cousins read my online profile for my first book and was so moved by the work that she decided to encourage me with Titus 2: 8.
I want to share both verse 7 and 8 with you which reads:
"Always set an example for others by doing good works.
Teach with integrity and dignity.
Use wholesome speech that cannot be condemned. Then any opponent will be ashamed because he cannot say anything bad about us." - NIV

Some times persons scuff at good works and say we are not saved by our good works, but good works could make the difference between we ending up on the right side or not. Good works could make the difference in us being effective witnesses or not. What do I mean by that?

Have you noticed carefully what is happening around us? People have reached a stage where they are able to deceive themselves so much that acts which were once considered out rightly forbidden are now being entertained and permitted in some quarters. I find that in my own life, if I bring my body to obey the word of God and I continue to obey and do the right, then it suddenly becomes much easier than harder.  The reverse is also true.

If we indulge in perverted speaking, it becomes easier and easier to do it. Today almost every other word in the English language is being given some 'sexual' reference or connotation. If we refuse to go down that road we can save ourselves from the pain of lust, perverted talking and fowl conversations.

Ultimately, the child of God desires to be obedient to God and His word, therefore we must keep our mouth.  Our thoughts, words, actions, play time and serious times must remain pure and without condemnation. Doing the wrong things under the disguise of 'fun' is a deceptive technique applied by the great Deceiver over and over again. Don’t be fooled, and don’t fall for his lies.

Let us be examples in our speech and the deeds we perform on a daily basis. Let us ask God to forgive us and allow us to live with integrity in our work place, schools and colleges, our communities and our homes.

My cousin did not write out the scripture at all she simply placed the scripture reference in the subject of her email. Because of the desire in me for the word of God It caught my attention and energy and the ultimate result is this blog.  It really was as simple as that. It is the same method used in the devils deceptions, he sets the bait and we bite it and get caught.  Don’t bite the bait, be conscious of his devises.
