Paternal Love

What i always wanted in life
Was an ideal dad
One who cared about family happiness 
And could cheer us up when were sad.

I always wanted a kind man, one who’s patient
And to him his family meant the world
I wanted a man to validate me 
By telling me i was a good girl.

I wanted a man who’s discipline 
Was never angry or severe
But a type of discipline 
That would encourage good conduct when we are far or near.

I wanted a man to tell me happy stories
And tuck me into bed
A man who always told me he loved me
And kissed me on the head

I still long to be hugged, kissed, and squeezed
But i don’t’ expect my future mate to blow my nose whenever i sneeze.

My childhood was a mess
And i had a dysfunctional family
It is the mighty hand of god
That has come in and set me free.
It is not fair to ask my future husband
To treat me like a child
But if expects to love him back
He must be meek and mild.

My future mate cannot play that role
Or undo the damage that has been done
But Jesus, my adoptive dad can fill this void
And through him my victory has already been won.

Children Are Precious

Children are Precious

Children are precious
They are gifts from God above
We must nurture them 
And shower them with love.

Children need guidance, support, discipline and God’s grace
When they are younger, we must help them tie their shoelace.
We must teach them what’s right and what’s wrong
We must watch their shows with them and listen to their songs.

We have to make sure that they’re on the right track
We have to make sure they have food on their table and clothes on their backs.
We must provide for their physical needs and their emotional needs too
We must often praise them and spend time with them
And we must teach them that when it comes to serving God and reaching goals
They should always stay true.

Struggles

STRUGGLES

WE AS A RACE HAVE HAD OUR STURGGLES AND TESTS
WE’VE COME OUT VICTORIOUS BUT NOT BECAUSE WE ARE THE BEST
IT IS THE LORD WHO SAW US THROUGH THE HARD TIMES
IT IS HE WHO GAVE US CONTROL OF OUR DESTINY IN DUE TIME.

OUR ANCESTORS WERE SOLD OUT BY MEMBERS OF THEIR RACE
SOUNDS FAMILIAR? EVERYDAY THIS TYPE OF THING TAKES PLACE
WE STRUGGLE ENOUGH TO GET AHEAD IN THE WORLD
BUT UNFORTUANTELY, WE HAVE OTHER AFRICAN-AMERICANS 
BLOCKING OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS, OUR BOYS AND OUR GIRLS
SOME OF US TEND TO BLOCK OTHERS OF US FORM REACHING THEIR POTENTIAL
BUT MANY OF US HAVE GOD ON OUR SIDE AND OUR SUCCESS IS EXPONENTIAL

OUR FOREFATHERS HAVE BEEN THROUGH SLAVERY, BEING BEATEN AND POORLY CLOTHED, 
HOUSED, AND FED.
SLAVE WOMEN WERE RAPED AND FAMILIES WERE TORN APART
BUT IN THE SOUTH, THERE WAS NOT A LOT SAID 
IN 1863 SLAVERY WAS LEGALLY ABOLISHED, BUT THIS ACT WAS NEVER REALLY PUT TO 
BED

SOME OF US, OUR PARENTS, AND GRANDPARENTS
FELL VICTIM TO THE LAW OF JIM CROW
WHEN THEY NEED HELP FORM EMERGENCY PERSONNEL
THEY HAD NOWHERE THEY COULD GO.

RACISM STILL EXIST AGAINST US, OTHERS OF COLOR, AND AGAINST OUR IVORY SISTERS 
AND BROTHERS
RACISM EXISTS WITHIN THE RACE, WHEN SOME OF US THINK WE ARE SUPERIOR TO 
OTHERS
THE LORD HAS BROUGHT THIS RACE THROUGH A LOT
UNLIKE OTHER RACES, WE NEVER SUBJECTED TO GENOCIDE
MANY OF US HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF OUR FREEDOMS AND BECOME SUCCESSFUL
WHILE OTHERS HAVE FALLEN BY THE WAYSIDE

IT IS WRONG FOR US TO BLAME WHITES OR ANYONE FOR THE SUFFERING OUR RACE WENT 
THROUGH
WE SHOULD JUST BE THANKFUL THAT NOW WE HAVE A CHANCE TO GET TO
GOD ALMIGHTY, WE CAN PRAY TO HIM FOR ANYTHING AND ANYONE
AND HE CAN SAVE ANYONE REGARDLESS OF WHAT A PERSON HAS DONE.

WE SHOULD PRAY FOR THE WORLD AS WELL AS OUR FAMILIES AND THE COMMUNITY
BECAUSE WE NEVER KNOW WHEN WE NEED HELP FROM AN OUTSIDE ENTITY.

Mothers Are Special

MOTHERS ARE SPECIAL WOMEN
SO ARE AUNTS, GODMOTHERS, AND GRANDMAS
BECAUSE IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD
 AND IT TAKES STRONG WOMEN TO KEEP A CHILD FROM RUNNING WILD

OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS ARE VERY SPECIAL TOO
IT IS FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO HELP MOTHERS AND KIDS WHEN THEY ARE GOING 
THROUGH

THE LORD HAS EMPOWERED US AS WOMEN
TO NUTURE, TEACH AND GUIDE
GOD SHOWS US WOMEN TO BE LIKE HIM
SHOWING LOVE AND HAVING OUR ARMS OPEN WIDE

MOTHERS ARE EXTRA SPECIAL
AND SO ARE OTHER WOMEN WHO HAVE A HAND
IN RAISING EACH AND EVERY CHILD
TO BE A GREAT, GOD LOVING, WOMAN OR MAN

Family of God

Each person who makes the confession 
That Jesus is Lord and God raised Him from the dead
And they are truly sincere and they seek God to live holy
Are all members of God’s family


All members of God’s family who are truly dedicated to God
All members of God’s family who are serious about being ambassadors for Christ have callings on their lives and one or more gifts they can use for the great commission

People make a big deal about the wrong things in churches outside of their own or even think their home church or churches within their denomination are the only good churches when the reality is anyone living by the Bible and have experienced new birth and at least have a strong desire to fulfill their duties to God are righteous

It’s not the churches that make the Christians; it’s the Christians that make the churches and leadership should always stay in tune with the Lord because they have double accountability.

Some of are Baptist, some Methodist, some Apostolic, some Presbyterian, some Church of Christ, some Church of God in Christ and many people in today’s time worship in non-denominational churches. And that’s just a few. 

But, those of us who obey and have a true relationship with the Lord are part of God’s family and as far as the anointing only being in certain churches, that’s only true when we as Christians fail to bring the anointing to the table every time we go to church; it is our duty to help set the atmosphere and take our gifts outside of church walls.

Some of all preachers, some teachers, some speakers, some creative writers, some singers, some musicians, and some of us can do nothing more than cook or do hair and nails. All of this can used to build God’s kingdom and makes all believers fit into the family of God.

Remember, the family of God consists of the entire body of Christ and instead of all this division, we should screaming out to those outside of the family of God “There’s room at the cross; get saved today!”

Love Is An Action Word

Love is an action word
It is more than an emotion
We must show love to everyone
Our family, friends, peers, and enemies
We must also show loving-kindness to people we don’t know
By keeping them lifted up in prayer

Love is something that we share
We show we care and we sacrifice
For the Lord and for other people
Love sometimes requires us to put our needs aside to help others
Love makes us want to do our best and be our best so we can help others
Love makes us want to fulfill our destiny and our callings from on high

Love helps us to put with people
Who are obnoxious, rude, or mean
Love makes us have compassion 
On the sick, shut-in, and the poor
Love even cares for and prays for those society feels are undeserving
Love covers a multitude of sin and Jesus showed us the greatest love of all by dying on the cross and being raised from the dead three days later
If Christ could sacrifice his life for the world, then we should love God and other people enough to find out our callings and reach those in need
Love is an action word and we need to take that step and love everyone, even those who hurt us in the past or on a regular basis in our daily lives from the bottom of our hearts

Stress Factors

We all have our stressors
We all have things that make us want to break
We have felt as though we give
Much more than we take

We have all wondering what was God doing and why
We have had our heads down to ground instead up to the sky
We all have things that bother us-things that cause us pain
Things that cause us to know that only God keeps us sane


We all have trouble in more than area
We all have trouble with money, interpersonal relations
We all have felt trapped but then we get in the Word and get revelation
Then we see no change but we know there's a plan
We know that God knows better than we do how much we can stand
And still stand tall for Him

We all  have things weighing our minds and causing fragments to our souls
We all have things going on within us which we feel we have no cry
We all cry inside-we all get sad at times
We all have emotional roller coasters
But we know that God is all in all
And He is our salvation, our fortress, and our deliverer
Praise Party

Glory to God for who He is!!
Praise His name in through it all!!
Praise His name in all life seasons
Winter, spring, summer, fall!

Praise ye the Lord
All ye lands
For all he does
He is our rock and our protector
He is our healer and provider

Praise the Lord when things look grim
Praise the Lord when it seems the light is dim
And even in dark times praise ye the Lord
For He is the light of the world
And the Creator of light

Praise the Lord
All the time
Not just when things are going well
When you need peace praise ye the Lord
When you need a dose of joy praise ye the Lord
And when you need to feel loved praise ye the Lord 
For He loved us enough to die for us!

We Are Equals

We are all God’s children
How dare anyone pick on or push around another person
This takes place with kids and grown-ups 
It results in death in many cases and needs to cease and desists

We need to ask ourselves
How would we feel 
If someone picked on us 
Because we had less, were not as smart as others, were much smarter than others
Because we have special needs because we are somehow different

This needs to end
Ending it begins at home 
With parents showing love
And teaching respect for everyone

God makes everyone beautiful
And no one has the divine right
To pick on another person
Because he or she stands out
It shows insecurity in the person 
Who is picking on other people

God loves us all
This behavior needs to stop
The suicides due to bullying need to stop
The homicides due to bullying need to stop
The cyberbullying need to stop
And we need to respect one another
The way we want to be respected
Because we are equals

Marital Bliss

The best marriage is a union
Between two people, minds, and souls
They are not halves
They are simply two wholes
Two people joined together as one
Facing life together in Christ
Knowing each battle is already won

Marriage means compromise
It does not mean control
No by one of the spouses
Only God can make the marriage hold
Marriage is a beautiful thing 
When the Lord is in the midst
When the two are right for each other
Then it will be pure bliss

Storms arise in every marriage
And in every marriage, the spouses sometimes disagree
But if God is in control
Then the two spouses can declare “I’m free to be me”
When marriage is done according to God’s Word
It is not anything to make one spouse surrender being free
It is quite the opposite; you get the spend your life with the partner you love and you get to live with partner and experience daily glee

A good marriage is always blissful
Even when hard times arise
Because the couple treat each special
Face adversity together
And sometimes, give each other a little surprise.

No Compromise

Who wants good money, a nice a house and nice cars?
We all want to be millionaires, question is how far
What will one do to gain worldly goods?
Will one give up their God and values just to be greedy and get what they could?
Would one tell lies to sell something expensive?
Would one strip and do something explicit?
Would one do music that sends messages of death and sin?
Just so in the world of the rich, they could fit in

Would one give false prophesies
Just for financial gain
Would one lie to the saints during their dry season
So they can take their money and have the saints wishing for rain

Would one make a business out of serving the Lord?
And have the flock scattered and not one accord
Living a double life and using all funds to fulfill their dreams
Instead of using the funds to help the poor and removed from the unsaved eyes large beams

With me, there is no compromise
I want millions too
But I want to get the right way
And share it with those in need
Instead of keeping it all to myself
And living in a spirit of greed

I will not compromise my faith in God
Nor will I compromise my standards for life 
To get the good things of this world
And still feel unfulfilled, like something in your life is not suffice

I love God and Jesus way too much
And I love others too
And I love myself; I love being me
And I know that chasing material things instead of waiting for God to elevate you can put you in bondage
While living for God and doing things His way will make you free
