Father, dear father!

The many times I miss my father and the strange emotions I feel.
The many times I've wanted to call him excited with some tale,
then I remember, he's not there.
The many things I've seen and I thought to myself "If only Sir could have seen this."
The many memories,
The loving times,
The things that help me pull through tough days.
Your advice,
Your silent approval,
Your side smile.
You built a tough one dad, you and mum. You built a tough one.
I'm weathering many storms thanks to your wisdom.
Building on your foundation, I hope I'll make you proud.
But on days like today when I miss you, I smile to myself cause I know you're smiling down at me.
Beaming with pride.
I'll always love you Sir!

"And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord." Luke 1:45 (KJV) "Now therefore, O LORD God, the word that You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house, confirm it forever and do as You have spoken," 2 Samuel 7:25 (NASB) Has the Lord given you a word? Has it been fulfilled? Hold on to His word in faith until it is fulfilled. Give Him praise for fulling his word in your life. Be thankful and bless his name until you see it come to pass. Mary heard the angel speak to her and he informed her of things to come. She believed, and there was a performance of the words that were spoken. David heard the words of God spoken to him through God's prophet and revealed to him by prophecy. He believed and prayed for its fulfillment. Many times we receive a word from God, through revelation or through prophecy. What do we do with these words? Let's hold on t...

Collecting them for my Master's use Bring not one, Bring not a few Collecting them for His grand design. Broken, cracked, shattered, worthless... The Master has need of them, your price He'll pay. Whatever you seek in exchange for these, He's willing in equity to give your due. A due not fit to some, but best for all For no broken vessel is without hope.

DIRECTIONS

I've been thinking about the paths that i'm meant to take in the coming months. Decisions, directions; I've been planning and praying. I've tried to explain my decisions to close friends, but some times, they aren't on the same frequency with me. Don't get me wrong, their questions are borne out of genuine care and love; but I know what I've heard, I know what convictions I have, I'm certain about these decisions and I'll follow through with God's leading and stick to the plan. It might not make sense in the immediate, but with God, I trust that he will illuminate the path ahead of me. And in concurrence with my situation, my devotional couldn't have said it better! STREAMS IN THE DESERT They were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the Word in Asia ( Acts 16:6 ). It is interesting to study the methods of His guidance as it was extended towards these early heralds of the Cross. It consisted largely in prohibitions, when they atte...
