Guard your speech

¨Hear and understand: Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles man.¨ Matthew 15:10-11

Seek, and you shall find.

Think about this:

If you want to know how to operate a complex machine, where do you turn to?
You ask the person who made the machine.

Who better to ask than the maker himself?

Well then, the maker can´t come packaged in every box that the machine is shipped to (the world over) assuming it is a very popular machine the whole world round.
So, how does the manufacturer inform you of the intricacies of the machine as he had made it to function?

Why, by the instruction manual, of course!


Indeed. The bible reveals all you need to know about the psychology of mankind.

Minus the evil word called manipulation.
Beats any of the theories i´ve learnt about in school.

Just show them Love.
Yeah! Serious! It works!

Tap into immensity

For it is God who gives us the strength to overcome.
You can try doing it all on your own, give it all you´ve got, all you can.
there's nothing stopping you.
But can you fulfill your greatest potential when you are limited by your own might?

Give Him a chance to show you what you can do for Him.
You won´t want to go back where you came from.


He put a smile on my face :)

Say it as it is, let them know you know

People can only do so much with little encouragement.
The power of a remark is so that it can terribly crush or build a person up to all that one is able to offer.

Sometimes offering praise is an expression of how willing you are to put down your defenses and plainly admit that: hey, you can do better than me! so much so that, even with all the knowledge I have acquired, there is always something you can offer to add on to my value!

It is indeed a very humbling attribute you acquire when one puts acknowledgment of another´s efforts into words spoken in gladness and appreciation of another´s wisdom.

To think apart from me and me alone.
When we extend this to our community at large, it can work wonders.

Even when we praise God, we are truly recognizing and proclaiming His glory.
It puts our egos into perspective, so we are reminded of our little significance in the big scale of things. Pardon, when i say little significance, I refer to a contribution on our part, but truly, an individual´s contribution is only part of what makes everything work.

Our gifts are small, yet, very very necessary.
Its all about offering whatever we have, without thought of its measure in comparison to what other people can afford to give on their accord.

The point of me and you

one spare part is nothing if not put together to form a instrument.
An instrument is useless if it does not create a sound.
A sound is not pleasing to the ear unless it is stringed into a tune.
A tune is at its best when incorporated into a symphony.

You have a part to be in.

No matter which part you are. You hold it all together.

God holds the toolbox of life and the many wonders of life springs forth from it.

when one part wears off. He will provide.
What the orchestra needs, only He can create.

Find your place, and be the best of what He has made you to be.
Henceforth, whatever you may do, you do with joy, with the fullness of knowing, He has made you for this purpose at this given time.

A to Z.
A story cannot be written without any.
Yet there are repetitions throughout the book forming new words, new ideas, a storyline.

Life is complex.
its a relief to know that He is in control of that... Phew!

Halt the shout, just talk.

Making it a point to talk instead of trying to put my point across.
Just stating my opinions and how i feel, not to make the other party feel inferior.
Be calm, not anxious.
Be open to listen and validate.

Pray I can be empowered to do this and more.

I´m a wall.
I echo.

Addiction of the senses

The smell of roses linger on my bedspread, on the pillow sheets.

It keeps my mind free to stray in wonderland while in my dreams.
An escape into a part of reality out of the state of awareness.
Retained inside part of my brain, it stays put until it awakens once again as i breathe in the scent on my pillow sham.
lets the book i read come alive.
lets me star in the movie i pick.
Perks my day in the most imaginative way possible.
A secret I keep.
Until again, i fall asleep.
