Facing a street kid pleading for bread, I was gripped with mixed feelings, especially that I had in my possession purchased goods for our orphanage from a grocery with this label: “the good life you can afford.” Oh, the social worker in me could not escape being confronted with this question: “Why does a child have to beg for a basic necessity... when it can be afforded?” By God’s grace, I have settled myself with the answer while fulfilling my commitment.
emotions clashing
grieved midst reality angst~~~
still love* and care reign
* 1John 3:17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

That ‘Altruism’—
It’s so hard to live up to;
No recognition!\
Altruism: Unselfish regard for or devotion to the welfare of others; feelings and behavior that show a desire to help other people and a lack of selfishness.
Matthew Chap 6 verses 1-6 (King James Version)
1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret Himself shall reward thee openly.
5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
I’ve made my share of mistakes
Failed many times – failure is loud
I’ve learned lessons from pain
And had to endure the darkness of rain
But through it all I’ve found that
Growth comes from lessons learned
Most often, from countless slip-ups
I have many faults I don’t like
Little things – some not so small
Which reveal a part of me that
I would like to simply ignore is there
Leave it to God, who will answer a prayer
To remove this thorn in my side
Unless, like Paul… I’m meant to endure
I’ve slipped up now and then, friend
Without these bloopers, who knows?
I might never have learned what I was
Meant to learn, through mistakes
Errors as noisy as deafening screams
All those blunders that mark me as
So very human!! So very HUMBLE!
2 Corinthians 12:6-8 KJV
6 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
It was on my way home from school
From the trail on the hill
High, overlooking the school's baseball field
Where I could never hope to play..
I stood awhile to watch
my brother on the pitcher's mound...
With profound, tangible, and tom-girl attitude
I looked on, with green-eyed envy
It was then I caught my first glimpse of you
Huddled and alone in the drainage ditch
among the sodden seeth of leaves
I turned quickly....afraid you might take a bite
from the heel of my magic Keds
that could sweep my feet away like wings of a hawk...
Instead..like lightning...you were beside me...
Tail wagging, as if we were meant to be...side by side...
Two of us sprinting over the stretch of road
Feet scarcely touching the ground...lickety split....
Down the hill, around the bend...across the nettled field that took me home
Of course...it took a bit of convincing...
Begging, pleading, cajoling,
Offers of impossible and implausable promises...
But YES! I was allowed to keep you!
You were MINE!! I named you 'Ditch Digger'....
Never was I happier!!....
And even better...
was the simple fact...
that for the first time....
my brother looked on with green eyed-envy........

You thought that I’d be weak, one easy to subdue
You wove your web of lies and never followed through
But in the dark, I swam the depths none other could withstand
I fought for love, I fought the pain with bloodstained, aching hands
Through the dark I held him, but at dawn he slipped away
The warrior fought against the night and left to meet the day
But for his love and for belief, I’ll swim the sea again
You cannot comprehend the light when all you love is gain
I’ll rise from dust and flame, you cannot keep me down
A thousand drops of rain can force a man to drown
A churning sea of love and pain will seeth behind my eyes
You can try to stop me but man can't hold back the tide
Dear God, I thank You for Your compassion for my soul
That made me understand Your work in my Christian role
Teach me to give my best along kindness’ pole
By Your grace, upholding my divine stewardship goal.
With Your compassion in my life, being spiritually refined
I seek You first and abide in Your will wherein I’m truly inclined
Enable me to fulfill well the tasks that to me You’ve assigned
Along Your plan which for me You exclusively designed.
Compassion, You exemplified, Lord, is my earnest desire
To care for others who are in hopelessness-mire
Help me reach-out with faith's cheerfulness You require
Through Your mercies that do not retire and expire.
Keep Your compassion burning in my servant’s heart
As I do my orphanage duties daily with zest and zeal’s start
Taking care of special children, securing them from negligence-dart
Letting them feel Your love that can never depart.
*1John 3:17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

I can't believeth all the things I seeth:
the streets with such strange vehicles which wend
their way so apace liketh those gents fleeth
as metal lions. Nev'r has't i penn'd
a sonnet on such vehicles and highways.
Nev'r has't i hath felt so unbelieving.
I might not but tryeth to traveleth all byways.
Above me in the sky, huge birds art leaving.
Of metal too art those gents, which art of charm.
Oh, mine own, the females showeth their flesh,
and how the men art causes me alarm.
And lo, the air! How can the folks refresh?
Tall buildings, so few farms, and such big towns.
So crazy art the folks h're and their sounds!

Claiming Almighty’s favor and His grace
My heart does abide in God’s special place
Where wondrous divine quietude prevails
As faith beholds what miracle entails.
Planned events, though scheduled responsibly
Sometimes are altered very suddenly
Causing despair-angst, confronting my role
Yet tranquil nook welcomes and comforts soul.
When preparation glitches create frown
Bringing distress from the toes toward crown
My frustration pain pressures escalate
Propelling me for prayer altar date.
Super health conscious --- that’s me, I confess
Treating self-welfare with gentle duress
Thus, in getting sick, my body seeks rest
For solitude, replenishing work’s zest.
In being busy midst tasks to fulfill
Adrenalin keeps ascending uphill
I safely hide in fortress that’s peaceful
Secured by the great Lord Who is faithful.
Gripped with warm presence of Christ’s radiance
And the Holy Ghost’s sweet caring guidance
I’m preserved, upheld --- indeed, protected
Joyous, thankful --- sublimely elated.
Reading while meditating the Scriptures
Midst tranquil haven for trust-adventures
I’m taught by the Lord as His studious child
Learning with guided steps, prudently styled.
In my prayer closet, indeed serene
My Saviour meets me, showing glorious scene
Marked by hope, mercy, forgiveness’ bounty
There I bask upon blest truth’s certainty.
* Matthew 6:6 - But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

January 6 Faith in God Bible Meditations Based on Genesis 16-18
Key Verse – Genesis 16:13 And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?
FAITH IN GOD WHO SEES US
God sees us toward our eternal salvation
For our redemption, far from hell’s condemnation…
Focused to praise Him, we thank always His protection
Finding by faith His favour inside His will’s perfection.
God sees us toward our exceeding blessing
For our submission, far from afflictions’ cursing…
Filled with His presence, we abide upon His love’s raising
Finding by faith His fire of revival in our faithful pressing.
God sees us toward our walk along covenant-fulfillment
For our settlement, far from fleshly humanistic establishment…
Framed upon His strength, we pursue for character-refinement
Finding by faith His freedom to obey His commandment.
God sees us toward our heartful gladness
For our rejoicing, far from everlasting perilousness…
Fueled up by His Scriptures, we bear fruits with divine productiveness
Finding by faith His fellowship’s goodness in our worship’s wondrousness.
God sees us toward our holy appearance
For our humble conduct, far from proud stand of selfish arrogance…
Fixed upon His might, we face challenges with His assurance
Finding by faith His commendation in His work’s abundance.
God sees us toward our commitment in our prayer time
For our righteousness, far from iniquities’ noise of deafening chime…
Fenced around His pardon, we seek His approval, graciously prime
Finding by faith His treasures that can’t be paid with great dime.
God sees us toward our satisfaction in heavenly endeavour
For our ministry-involvement, far from failures due to wasted fervour…
Furnished by His Word, we feast on His provisions’ savour
Finding by faith His best as we taste constantly His sufficiency’s flavour. Amen!

[7] Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?
May, God return unto the hearts of man
We have been given access through Christ
Sadly, so many plea for his return
While, in blindness of we need to return
To show this new living spiritual being.
Loving all for just as I, was lost in deception.
Turn from these wicked ways
Through the promised inheritance Spirit
To reign, mold and purify within.
If we could please God in own works
Jesus death and all the gospel is vain.
May, God bring the Living Children of God
In Unity to show the love through
The spirit that draws them together.

[11] Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you. [12] And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: [13] to the end he may stablish your hearts unblamable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
