You must never regret who you are, only what you have become.

give for the joy of giving.

never criticise, condemn, or complain.

Avoid arguements like a plague. no one can ever win an arguement. do not judge people for you will be judged in the same manner.

Never compare. always remember there are people better than you and worse than you.

Deception blinds us.but honesty and purity opens our eyes to see god and truth as it is.

deception will eveintually betray, but honesty is its own defense.

"but i tell you, that men will have to give account on the day of judgement for every careless word they have spoken, for by your words you will be aquitted and by your words you will be condemend"- matt.12.33 ff

dont be afriad to stand out from the crowd if you know you are right.

be sincere, be nice. even to those who are rude to you.

dont give in to peer pressure. stand up for something or you will fall for anything.
at times there is more dignity in marching alone.

expect nothing in return

even if you are exhilaratingly happy, or down in the dumps.. a friend is a person who knows you and loves you just the same.

a snow goose need not bathe to make it self white. niether need you do anything but be yourself.

span>

will i prove an exmple..

twisted,truncated,
feelings, bleeding raw
cries out against
injustice,hopelessnes and pain
a hollow sound echo through the rain.

too close for comfort,
this heads swarming heavy
tears are absent
in pain in loss no more will i cry
memories bittersweet passes by

the purpose will be fulfilled
when my job n works done
and i have played by character well
i pray only, let not judas fate be mine
let me not an example be for others to live by

Anger.

Anger, what is anger,
it comes out like hunger,
it roars and growls like thunder,
provoke, and it'll end in murder.

Although life too short
and we each fit a part,
in this stage called earth,
it is to precious to end it.

why does these troubles
that stirs up my very soul
not cease to be, will not end
yea still, its end is only in me.

like searching for springs of water in deserts,
i seek to find that evasive haunting of romance.
time and again,'tis a mirage for all it's worth;
yet this yearning makes all the difference.

in this transcient world, nothing stays;
the tune is 'to-morrow,to-morrow''tis a rat race.
as we fret, so down goes dawn today,
the scent of romance fades, nothing gold can stay.

longing hearts buried under a load of care,
love is all we need amidst such trecherous air.
if i yeild myself to the sacred romance so rare;
will it lead me to nought but what happiness could spare?

you are the torch that kindles this flame,
within my soul, shed in my life transcendence.
youve become my inspiration. and as a wave;
soaring high, this desire, this hope, let it remain.

The oxford dictionary describes the word 'incarnate' as embodiment in human form, the incarnation that of god as christ. who is jesus christ? men and women down through the ages have been divided over the question, ' who is jesus?' why so much conflict over one individual?why is it that his name, more than the name of any other religious leader, the likes of Buddha, Muhammad, Confucius, causes irritation? The reason is that these others didnt claim to be God, but jesus did. It became clear that his own claims were identifying him as more than just a prophet or teacher. he was obviously making claims to diety. we often hear the phrase ' the deity in christ' in religious media, magazines, television.this means that jesus christ is GOD. in theology 'God' is defined as 'infinite and perfect spirit in whom all things have thier source, support and end. this definition of God is adequate to mulims and jews. however their is an additional note to that definition which is' and who became incarnate as Jesus christ of nazareth.
Jesus christ is the eternal God by whom all things were created. he was incarnated through the virgin mary and became man so that he could pay the penalty for our sin and bring salvation to mankind. Therefore Jesus christ, God incarnate is the source of eternal life. John 1:1 says "in the beggining was the word, and the word was with god and the Word WAS God" . we see here that the word co-existed with God and also that the word was indeed God. in psalms 33:6 it is written that" by the Word of the lord the heavens were made, and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth". you see that it is the same word that created the heavens and that same word is who became flesh and dwelth amongst us. John shows us clearly that he is speaking of jesus christ by his description. Jesus who was perfectly human being the last Adam, at the same time was the creator of the universe. Jesus christ of nazareth was the supreme disclosure of God in complete Holiness.
scripture tells us that 'The word became flesh', Jesus was the word who became flesh. Born in human form, he was perfect and without sin. That is why he is called the last Adam. The blood running through his veins was pure and holy. He had to sacrifice his life, be cursed; for it is said that cursed is he who hangeth on a tree, to pay the penalty for out sins. As God the Father required a perfect compensation, Jesus sin offering compensated his rigteous requirement, becuase Jesus shed his blood whcih was pure and holy.
Jesus christ is the light of the world.John 1:5 says "light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not comprehend it" we have to look to christ Jesus to walk with clear sightedness and in repentance. Jesus christ the creator of all things visible and invisible, is the light, and the powers of darkness can neither comprehend it nor quench it. through his sacrifice, christ overcame the power of death, and in resurrection overcame the devil and the hosts of wickedness and made a public spectacle of them.
" for in him (christ) dwells all the fullness of the God head bodily" This scripture shows clearly how Christ Jesus being a perfect man was subsequently God himself. Jesus christ the nazerene is the second element of the triune God head, who at the same time is the embodiment of God himself. this is the great mystery of the trinity.

passion within

I sit beside you
I sit in silence
wathching you,
waiting,
for a word,
a breath,
a touch
suppressing the impulse
to grab you
and kiss you
like there was no tommorrow
i long to hug you
to feel your breath
upon my hair
to smell the fragrance
of sweat mingled with musk
but you are far away
you gaze in to the starry skies
i inch closer to you
i want to hear you say
the words
but you are oblivious
to my feelings
im still waiting
waiting for you to let me in
