I Gave You Everything - Quiet Assurance

There’s nothing I can give that I have not already given.

There’s nothing I can do that I have not already done,

So what would it take to ensure you knew I have given you me?

What would it take for you to know I love you?

I gave my life for you

I made plans for you

The things you need I have already provided.

The sicknesses to come, healing has already been done.

I am never too far to feel you

I will never hesitate to meet you where you are

I will always remember a thought so tender…Cast all your cares upon me for I care for you

This is my quiet assurance

"I love you so much," says the Lord

I know the cost of love, it cost me the life of my son

A day of forgiveness

Why don’t we declare a Day of Forgiveness where we all can forgive everyone for what they said or did to us?
Let us call it International Day of Forgiveness - a day focused on each of us flushing our system of the waste, the baggage and just start over afresh.

It sounds like a great idea to me.
What do you think?

Let me see, I could forgive Marlon for what he did to me in grade three, over thirty-five years ago on that Tuesday morning while I was doing my class work.

I could also forgive my teen crush, the girl from next door who broke my heart. Though she was twenty-two and I was only thirteen, I could finally forgive her for what she did and how she handled me. Wow, that would certainly make me free.

Then again I could also forgive my parents, my former boss, my ex, my gardener, my plumber, my older brother.
Oh my! It seems like I need more than one day. At the rate I hate, I need more than one date.

Perhaps we should celebrate an International Forgiveness Week instead. You know, I am thinking that by the time the following year comes around I would have had so many people who would have upset me, hurt me, and cause me to curse and swear. If I were to wait another year, I could go crazy walking around with all that in my head and in my heart.

Wow! It never really bothered me before now, I could just hate people. I actually believed I have the gift of hating. The smallest wrong you did to me I would just hate you for it and wished the worse sometimes.

I am now thinking that I have wasted so much of my life hating and resenting people that I really do need more than a week; maybe an International Day of Forgiveness is not sufficient, but it’s a start. I could really use that, after all I have so many people to heal my heart of and so many stuff to get rid of. I need to forgive everyday, but I could start with this one day, today.

Luke 17:4
“Even if that person wrongs you seven times a day and each time turns again and asks forgiveness, you must forgive."

Sleep wrestling match

Sleep call me by name
Singing me a lullaby
A yawn tears my cheek bone
As water seal my eyes

Again a yawn stretch my jaw
My eyes now closing down
I must travel to that place
In response to a system shut down

The way men look at me

(A young girl’s perspective)
By jermaine Gordon © Copyright 2009

Men stand a gaze
By what are they amaze
Staring, peering
Is it my ear ring
The dress I‘m wearing

Am I scaring them away
Or attracting them to stay
Is something wrong with my hair
Oh why? This long, persistent stare

Is there something on my face
Or my blouse of lace
Though separated by the distance
What could he be thinking?
I am his last chance
Or does he want to dance

This stranger staring down on me
What could he possible want to see
Perhaps engage talk
Make a date
Go to the park

Is he thinking how beautiful I am
Admiring my complexion
OMG! Is he seeing my reaction?
What does he want from me
I turned and saw him smiling
So I smiled in returned

Am I too concerned?
For my number he yearns
Wanting to come over and say hi
I am afraid not
For now, its goodbye
