The Mixture



There is so much pain in the eyes
The eyes of a child once shone bright and warmed you inside 
So many people are hurting and the answers are nowhere to be found
They tell us to keep praying but the pain continues to get worse
Children eyes struggle to stay open as they receive their latest cancer dose
The inability to play with their friends only brings more tears to their eyes
The heat of the sun makes them weak as they try to stand tall to beg for something to eat
The inability to smile and share the joy of being a child
The guns increase in the streets but nobody knows how them reach
Hatred so strong in the hearts of men
They put a gun to the head of the young and they feel nothing their hearts are numb

The day draws to an end and they tell us pain endures just for awhile
How you tell that to a child? Whose father killed his mother then committed suicide leaving him behind
The young man works hard to bring home money to take care of his wife and child
He is held up on his way from work every cent is taken and he cries out because his wife and child will remain hungry until he can find a few dimes
They tell us to be optimistic because better shall come
Yet with each new day comes the news that more gunshot a bus
People are hurting and we can't find the answers

People have confused the idea of love so much
They lose their dignity in the name of making a couple bucks
Can't you see the meaning of value is rarely known amongst us?
The pain in the eyes are still with us as we wipe the tears away we wonder if God still remembers us
Natural destructions flood the world and it's as if nature is tired of mankind
It can't be easy for you to believe that joy will come in awhile 
Corrupted governments, abuse,poverty and no new policies
The world is at a stand still but the pain in our eyes continues to get darker
Darker yet without a glimpse of light
As the tears flow the pain and the little joy rolls on by

Church ministry without God

Have you ever been to a church service and when the singers are singing you feel nothing? You can hear the words coming out of their mouths but they have no  conviction whatsoever? Music is one of the most important parts of church ministry and if God isn't in it, it shouldn't be called Gospel music to begin with. Some singers in church sing for self! They know they are blessed with beautiful voices so they use the church to showcase it but it isn't about ministry. It is simply to let people know what they have going on. They stand before you and they have blank expressions on their faces, while they sing such powerful lyrics. They aren't moved by it but they somehow expect that the congregation will be. The next issue is that of the modern day Gospel music. Call me old fashion but it isn't my flavour at all. Why should I have to be wondering whether I'm listening to Gospel or I'm at a dancehall event? Why does the church have to change itself to resemb...

Be more thankful

It's so easy for us to complain it's like we do it everyday. Are we more thankful for the blessings we have no matter how small they seem? It seems to me that more than ever people are more ungrateful than they are grateful. No matter how bad things are always remember that they could be much worse. Our house isn't big so we complain rather than be thankful that we have a house. Our pay cheque is small so we complain rather than be thankful that we have a job. Our skin isn't flawless so we complain instead of be thankful that we still have our skin to protect our bodies. Our body isn't sculpted perfectly so we complain instead of being thankful that all our body parts are still functioning. Our world is very ungrateful and we can never seem to be satisfied no matter how many blessings we have. This week I ask of you to be thankful for something everyday no matter how small it may seem.

This World

  A world where people don't love you if you can't supply them with all the material things they need. A world where people marry just to get citizenship in a country. A world where the most educated aren't the ones given the best of jobs. A world where the television and internet are left to teach our children values. A world where the leaders of the church spend more money on church buildings tha n feeding the poor. A world where children receive guns before they receive a book to read. A world where in one half of the world people fight for an apple to eat while in the other we pick,choose and refuse what to eat. A world where we cry when we have no new clothes or shoes but some have never felt the warmth of a shirt and pants on their cold flesh. A world where politicians get increases in pay while the citizens are placed on wage freeze for years. A world where everybody proclaims they can't trust anybody. A world where girls value are always occupied with their look...
