Back To Reality

How can they only love and support you when it benefits them?
How can they cheer you up when they just want to benefit from you?
How can friends run away so fast in time of distress?
Well it is very touching when people you dine with awaits your downfall ?
Truly, even best friends vanish!

How can man be so unjust?
How can we know our enemies?
No one seems to care when you lose your job or you are critically ill
Sounds like inhumane when you see who truly love or hate you
Call the Lord, the Father above for help
How it seems like the world show love when you have everything?
How can everyone vanishes including family and friends?
Lose it all, sounds like sad news to the ears
Yet Sometimes they won't show love to you, not until you die
The area of life is hundred percent your own responsibility
Remember, you don't owe anybody your life or rather your life depends on anyone to push through hard times

How can I live when I can't see joy?
How can life, riches, wealth, money endure without Christ?
How can life be not a great loss and ends up in a big shame and embarrassment?
How can it bother me to see that better alone than with those dangerous close friends?
Father, Abba is near you cry for unwavering help

How can I hear that better alone than with those dangerous traitors?
How can I differentiate between fake and genuine friends?
How can I draw a lot of lessons from this life story?
How can I tell that nothing is permanent in this world?
When life has its own special lessons
Something real, the reality of the world we live in
I would love to be strong, analyzing and minding my own life
So, everything I do must be calculated carefully
For I know that I will remain alone sorting out the puzzle of life
It is very rare that you will receive support when in dire need

Even when I am pushing my files alone
Never leave Christ on my side
Spiritual warrior how can I forget
How? Can I not call him
How can I progress?
Till the last mile on my life's journey

Father, Abba help me Oh my Lord

There is one answer to this genuine write, Chipepo...and that is "Faith" without it one will most often live a life of misery. Great write, my friend. Happy New Year! Charlie

Nothing in this life will fill that void we all seek , except Christ dwelling within, this is true peace, joy and love, and most mankind will seek for you to lose this,. For it scares them especially to see a complete different person Christ can mold one into, take care. May God bless, comfort, guide and fill you with His peace, love and joy
