I Was Made For Better

I was made for better By Author Jermaine Gordon Though I was born a sinner I must not remain in the gutter I was exposed to better So now, I desire it and I want it I was created with ambition To change my situation I was made to love So I must be a lover I was made to give So I must become a giver Evil words spoken against me Will no longer blueprint my destiny I wasn?t made for this To better I must switch I was born to see a better day I was born to find a better way Born a boy, I now aspire to become a man I can do right with these creative hands In my heart I now believe Ask and I shall receive If God writes my plan I have got to become a better man I was made for better I was made for better

Remember who we serve

Colossians 3 v 23-24 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

I must find God

I must find God, though He isn’t lost, I am. I must find God for I have wandered off far away, on a lonely, lonely road. Many days, many nights I longed for a better way, a better life My body in pain, from sickness and weakness The burden, the care as grown like a tree now it is too much to bear I must find God, for though the medical report says I am sick, his truth says I am healed. I am whole. I must find God, for in my heart I find it too difficult to forgive and so into the past I continue to live. Today I must find God for as often as I forgive, I am forgiven and as often as I pray this prayer: Lord Help! Then I am healed. Healed of my broken heart and hurt Healed of my disappointments, my resentments Lord I yearn to live in peace and contentment Like water needs rain and the fire needs the flame My heart and soul needs God My mind so confused So many choices, not sure which one to choose I must find God, for he has promised to direct my path, for if I but trust his gentle hands...

A Heart of Thanksgiving

By Jermaine Gordon © copyright 2009 A heart of thanksgiving... Like music from the heart flowing... Played on a silver bagpipe... Gloriously greets the morning, the day or night... Its melody removes the bitterness from the sweet... A place where laughter and joy embrace as they meet... Heart-music loved by its players... Charmed and adored by its hearers... A heart overflowing with thanksgiving... Sing songs that are always healing... Played on the strings of the air... You can sense it so tangibly that God is near... Remedy from your demons of fears... Therapy for your mountains of cares... Like the beating of the drums... No murmur, the voice of the spirit quietly hums... A heart of gratitude... Bestows praise with an attitude... A heart of thanksgiving keeps the man... In tune to the rhythm of God and His plan... Most perfect way to be led by the hand... Things thought impossible, I now Know and believe I can... A heart of thanksgiving causes the soul to see... How blinded the eyes...

A prayer from a changed heart

Dear God…. When I am to react to the things around me Let me not respond as I would, rather as your word says I should When evil committed against me is brutal and painful Let me operate with wisdom and render not evil for evil rather overcome evil with good Lord when I am tempted to sin Oh Lord and these are many May I be reminded than keeping a distance Is a powerful way to protect me from myself When I believe I cannot and it is not within me to resist the wrong May I be reminded that in my times of weakness you have promised to make me strong Lord when I am hurting, really hurting, may I not be too hasty in my responses For I may cause more hurt to others who are already hurting and by so doing turning the situation into a more complex one Help me to understand that some things are already too difficult to comprehend each day and my own actions, reactions, perceptions and beliefs could create even more perplexing ways. Lord in my times of need and lack Cause me to see how much you ...

Is it night where you are?

If where you are is filled with darkness, dark times and dark moments, read on. If it seems all gloom and doom and you can’t find your way, and it doesn’t seem to make any sense, read on. Quite often when faced with a storm we would rather go around it or wait for it to pass and your response usually meets it with a cycle of complaints, hitting back at everyone and everything that attacks you or stand in your way, while becoming bitter, angry, disheartened, depressed or discouraged in the process. The dark times sap your energy and you feel as though you are coming under too much pressure for one person. Remember this, ‘stars always shine.’ Stars always shine but especially at nights, when the time is dark, when there is gloom and the environment produce fear and uncertainty, it is at that point that the stars are most brilliant . It is during these difficult moments that stars must shine, they must light the path of those who need them. If you are a star, don’t be discouraged by the...

Love does not keep record...

If true love keeps no record of wrongs as outlined in 1 Cor. 13 v 5, then we are far from having true love. I know I have fallen short at times. The real question therefore is, 'What do we have then?' If we do not keep score, how will we know the areas which require improvement? How will we protect ourselves from those who desire to willfully harm us? "Love does not keep records of wrong" - 1 Cor. 13 v5 It seems we were never created to hold on to the bad and unpleasant experiences we face in life. Our life seems to be at its best when we learn to quickly let go, while not missing each lesson. When we learn to move on and start a fresh we experience so much more joys. Forgiveness must form a part of the daily spiritual diet. If I keep records of the wrong done to me and build a wall of defense against everything then by the time I am 50 or 45, I would have imprisoned myself against experiences I do not want to encounter ever again. It all sounds so crazy, but what if ...
