ONCE BROKEN



My disobedience wounded Him
My wickedness bruised Him
By my hate I grieved Him
His saving hands I nailed
Yet unrelenting His love became 

When I strayed
In my place my saviour stayed
On Him the punishment laid
Lamb led to the slaughter
Dumb to His shearers blade
For all world's injustice sake
The blessed Lamb neither spake

God's holy wrath descending
God's holy Son ascending
Embracing
He arose for my defending

So loved He us so
The trials of His own soul
Colliding with God's judgement whole
Justice served and satisfied
O I know
Whiter I became than snow

For great wrath
Was crushed by great love
For Great death
Was displaced by life greater

O the price
That redemption of my soul
Of stripes, blood and death
I the lost, sought and returned home
At last the family of God
Once broken now made whole

"...W e have brothers who are emotionally dead, having suffered a deathly “Stroke” in their feelings, incapable of sensing the feelings of others. As a result, Christian marriages and relationships is one of the most challenging ones not because of spiritual attacks but because we are emotionally deformed. " The phrase “Sisters Keeper” certainly doesn’t appear on the pages of the Bible. But I guess you’ve got a knack of all it’s about. It suggests being sincerely concerned for the state of being of female folks. In this context, I write strictly to the church of the Living God. On second thoughts this should have been titled, “Letter to insensitive brothers.” Let me indulge you for few seconds. Why do Christian sisters fall victim to deceivers? Why would they prefer to marry outside God’s fold? Why does it seem their heart is with God’s family but their eyes are ever wondering into the world (as it seems)? Why is there such an exploitation of your sister and my sister...

STORY: A DIARY OF TWO STRANGERS CHAPTER 2

... I turned my back on her exiting the scene, she had first grabbed at her chest, seeming to rip out her heart but grabbed her stomach rather, as if to bring a child out of it, like an evidence to refute my last words. She went down on the floor with a howling cry. I could care less if she wept... I banged the door so loud, the neighbours should have jumped out of bed… but they didn’t ... T hinking about it in this lonely park, I resented this night, “why did I have to come home tonight?” I said out loud.
