Mr. Loveless [ A Valentine's Day Special]

The bad isn’t a day dedicated to the celebration of pure love between a man and a woman. The bad is more in the 'mis-education' and misinterpretation of love we all have around us. Who knows love? Who knows what love is? That’s my question for today.

Money can’t buy love so the girl who interprets the expensive gadget he brings to her on a day like this as an ‘I Love you’ is just so wrong

Sex isn’t love so the boy looking for love in a one night stand or the strip house has gone the wrong way.

Love is beyond the physical eyes so all who say they fell in love because of what they saw need a more substantial base

So what is love?

It breaks my heart that the people, the one group that still roams this earth, that has a lot to say about love in every form,( in fact they’ve got a whole book that speaks about one crazy lover’s chase after his beloved ) rarely speak about it. Yes Christians, followers of Christ. Mention it and a lot would cringe or remain.

Now let’s get it straight

Love isn’t sex but sex could deepen the bond when the bond is first made. One night stands and all things out of marriage go out the window at this point.

It would save us a whole lot of mess and bloodiness when we realize in perspective that the love here is a representation a metaphor of the love there.

When we try to love without God we end up in a lot of sinking sands

Love has earned a very bad name thanks to lust, its fake product from the devil’s hand

If you follow God, you must tell new love stories thereby repainting the real image of love.

The solution isn’t to hide it all from our kids, from our friends and let them discover the false stories being told out there. And also the solution isn’t to get it all out there losing all restraints.

There are two extremes denying our ‘loveliness’ and sexuality or being driven by it and there is sure a space in between. God helps us find our rightful space in between.

Stop it!

We aren’t angels

We aren’t animals

We aren’t Mr. Loveless

We aren’t Mr. Lustful

We are humans

We are wired to love

To love well and not fall at the extremes, the God of Jesus is needed in these things.

 A Happy Love Day To You All :)

Stories of Worms In Bread From Heaven

[Image via Pinterest]

Yesterday I ran out before dawn and gathered so much of the bread

Mama, always told me it wasn't bread, nor waffles, nor wafers, nor whatever I chose to name it. 

We could not qualify it

Soft and pure

The breakfast of angels

It was the bread I had always know

'Manna' I mouthed

Nothing like it before

Bread from heaven

Today I woke to the stench

There were worms in my basket

There were worms on my table

There were worms on my hand

Is this what we do?

We carry the provision of day into another

The anointing of a season into another

We charge up ourselves like batteries and expect to be superheros for life

'. . .And the oil dried up'

'. . .And Moses said, "let no one leave any of it until morning."Notwithstanding they did not heed Moses. but some of them left part of it until morning and it bred worms and stank'

The substantial motive behind trying to carry over an anointing of a former season into a new one is the questioning of God's providing power and presence.

The Manna is a daily chase so is the bread from heaven

If we keep it up for the next season 

If we choose not to choose freshness

If we do not seek the fresh oil after a new dawning

We know the smell

Our portion is a  perfume that goes before us

There is Manna for each day, trust God and come.

They say you want to be like the humans you are seeing

Do you see your creator or you think you just happened

It is true what the mystics said 

Those who want to be like other men haven't seen God

Those who choose another original over themselves are tired of waiting, that's when the adjustment sets in and they build their homes where there were once meant to be only tents

We are advised and encouraged to build tents cause of the day everything would be shaken

Even homes built with hard bricks of clay and foundations of the human design

The question is what would we be after then if we chose the mask?

The human must open

He must bud like a rose and sometimes the journey to discovery is messy

To cover it all up with a mask ends us up in a pool of blood

Remove the mask and let the work begin

It's beautiful after some time

Have you seen the butterfly?

Ponder: We find a new and alternative definition for our selves has the moments elopes us. There's a new gadget and a new movie we have not or haven't seen, you are old or unimproved if you don't have or do that. The pull is so strong to be like the humans who have made head ways in our world even when we aren't so sure of where they end, but a question for you, who are you? Are you the definition of man or the definition of God? What values are you accepting? Is heaven still your home? How adjusted are you when you are meant to be  just passing through the land? Are you building tents or homes? These are question that wouldn't make us sleep and keep us eagerly waiting for our true being. I dare you to let God be creative with you, I dare you to seek His definition and yes I dare you to but off the mask.
