Nothing for me...

Nothing for me...

A humbling truth

nothing for me...

Gods hands hath move so mightily

He call the east to collide with the west 

From bondage He sent His mercy and grace

 and gathered His lost one in His embrace...

Nothing for me...

He allowed the storms to pour and devour

He sent to make the unbelieving understand 

that even the hail He would sent

to test His worthy ones...

Nothing for me...

God showed us how He loves him and me 

He sent the trials so fiery and pierce

To make us see...

That under the sun

Gods purposes be done...

Nothing for me...

Though He allowed the pains

That we may be worthy to gain Him...

and in complete faith and surrender 

will live our lives in His mercy and grace

according to His will...

Nothing for me...

He made me see...

That He was in all through all

Knitting all things to happen

To carry out His salvation plan...

Though He suffered me...

for His Glory...

Nothing for me 

I humbly understand...

He uses my life

He works in me...

He called me...

to understand...

In Reply to a comment..."In Rebelling God"

One day He will...

Prove Himself to you...

No amount of argument 

can settle this issue

to one that does not believe...

Silence does not mean defeat

and there is no win or lose...

because we all will return to ashes...

But God will Prove Himself 

in His Perfect time 

to you...

That He is God...

and though 

you do not believe 

He will remain God

God knows it all...

God knows how I am...

God knows how my heart is groping

to survive the pangs of pain

each minute and each day brings...

God knows the tears that I cried...

God knows how I helped  myself 

to live through it all...

God knows how hard...

God knows it all...

As we walk through our ordinary lives

doing the usual things of everyday living...

In foreign countries people are suffering...

Innocent children, young and old alike 

are ruthlessly killed and slaughtered...

In our ordinary lives...

we are more than blessed...

for not going through same torment

and ordeal...

Let's share a piece of our time

to cry to God in prayer...

To save the innocents 

from the stings of evil...

Please Help Pray....

In losing the one you love so much...

In losing the one you love so much...

When you love someone so much...

with all your life 

with all of yourself 

and lose him... her...

in whatever way

You feel like...

pointing a gun on your chest 

to blow your heart away

to its deepest recesses...

to nothingness...

In all these... God knows...

and He will never leave you

where you are...

for He will summon the universe 

to move and come to your refuge...

to make your heart know and understand 

that there are reasons why things 

has to happen...

In His marvelous way

His grace will sustain you through 

and heal you ...

You only have to trust in Him...

in trusting God...

My heart is anxious within me...

but I know I need not be...

For no matter what the reality are 

before me...

I know in everything, 

Oh God , you work for the good

for those who have faith in thee...

So my soul,

be in solemn peace within me...

in whatever maybe

for in trusting God you'll know

All are meant to be ...

   @Manuelle Augustine 

In His grace...

In His grace

With the voice of thunder 

and rushing waters

majestic as the universe

so loud and so clear...

He called ..."Follow me..."

But I was so young to understand ...

then time just slipped away...

In the wilderness of the past 

in a dream He led me...

I ran through the woods 

and  climbed a dark mountain...

When a huge hand from above

on top it took me...

He showed me the grandeur below 

from the top of the mountain...

But still I was so worn and confused 

to comprehend...

Yet choked in life, on my way I walked...

But He loves me so much 

that He led me through a storm

that I could not stand alone...

He led me through pain

that I can not bear...

and in frailty and helplessness

in hopelessness...

in Him I called, His presence I sought...

for His mercy I plead...

Then I learned...

He broke and crushed me into pieces 

that I may be made whole, 

that I may hear and see Him...

That I may know and understand 

the heart of His calling...

He called on me to believe in Him

To learn what it mean to trust in Him

To know who He is and who I am ...

To behold the beauty of His truth...

To witness the marvel of His grace..

His grace, led me in His Grace...
