Chances



Baby steps I took into the light you shone on me

An unfamiliar voice I heard calling me to accept freedom

No doubt within me dared to arise against the call to liberation

With both hand and a willing head I nodded to the call and accepted 

I found a kind of freedom that could never be bought, justified or afforded if sold for cash

Different levels I went through from soft porridge to nurse the intestines on an infant to solid meat

A new strength I found within me that then released a deeper power unknown to my ignorant self

A soothing hand found me and gave me guidance into the mysteries of the greatest kingdom

My mind exposed to free greatness, from salvation, to righteousness to faith to riches

At first it made no sense because it was too big for my childish mind to understand

Until one night when love found me in my sleep and showed me a different kind of path that now made sense

I followed this path with diligence and faithfulness but somewhere along the way I lost the guiding hand.

Everything suddenly became heavy, so many distractions and curiosities blurred the vision to the final destination of the God given will.

Endurance became the way of life as my mind reminded me the Name of the owner of the hand that held me for guidance.

I called and got the answer I sought, again, I had a guiding hand on mine showing me the way out of the troubles I had landed myself in.

Distractions of the world I sought to conquer with my own strength for nobody told me the battle was the Lord’s to fight

I struggled night and day trying to conquer things that made no sense to me, things meant for a higher power to waltz over

Mercies of the Holy spirit found me and showed revealed the knowledge of spiritual battles that are for the Lord to fight and the victory for me to claim

A different attack for a different level of growth came forth, whilst waiting for the Lord to fight this battle on my behalf, another stronghold caught up with me and I was down once more.

As I thought it was over, a light tap on my shoulder awakened me once more in the darkest of the night, my guiding hand was back again to show me the way.

A process that goes on and on, chances that came after chances, a stronger faith built and a higher order of understanding established within me to conquer the distractions on the way of my destiny’s.

JESUS CHRIST HAS NEVER GIVEN UP ON ME, He has picked me time and again for his love is beyond our shortfalls and what we regards as failures is just a learning curve for us to trust Him to handle the hardships of our lives. He will never Give up on us  because He is a God of another chance that follows another and another and another.
