I TRY TO IMAGINE

I was told by that Sunday-school teacher…….that you are “GOD”,

YOU live in the heavens where no “human” goes there with their bodies,

YOU watch us all, know us more than we know and even know our tomorrow,

YOU are the ONLY LIVING GOD, and you created all even the “gods”,

I am an infant in the world will less effect to it,

I try to imagine your LOVE.

I went on to enquire how you see in the dark, how you hear secrets loudly,

YOU know the number of hair in all of us, we are in YOUR palm of your HAND,

YOU are the SHEPHERD, We are YOUR flock, you never let us be maimed by wild,

YOU are the TEACHER, we are your “pupils”, you are there to see us get,

YOU are in Heaven, we are on earth, YOU never rest guarding us,

I try to imagine your LOVE.

I have read of Israelites and how you fought for them, YOUR LOVE,

YOU called them your children, they called you their GOD,

YOU were feared by their enemies, they feared you wrath to them,

AND how YOU would fill their bellies with meat, quench their thirst with milk,

This leaves me imagining your LOVE,

I try to imagine your LOVE.

I got that you have a SON, His name is JESUS, YOUR begotten,

YOU send him on earth, our mess couldn’t be redeemed by animal blood,

YOU saw it well to send him down, where he even was ridiculed,

YOU could have gotten rid of us, create again, another perfect creation,

But to YOU, I try to imagine YOUR LOVE, I completely end not getting it,

I try to imagine your LOVE.

The Great man in the less man

When we were young because comparing our times with nowadays is a good disaster, those whom their parents were teachers (I was not in that privileged group) could get some favors and some feared respect. Either good in academics or not they were recognized in class, football pitch, and in all they could not get into that noisemakers list (I think corruption is that old) and I can’t talk of the monto thing and they were the only ones who knew more about socks and the shop  handkerchiefs

May we know that we were not just named by God but He did it Himself…yes, Gen 1:26" And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:"  He ordered that let us make man. I may not go into details as that could be another unique topic (I won’t mention about Eve in this for now), On reading about God and Who He is, with all superiority, Mightiness (Also I tend to know that His name “I AM WHO I AM” is a mystery in itself, He saw it not good to name a man but went on to make ‘in His own likeness’.  It could be also be pleasing but there is a secret behind the reason.

Something have been disturbing  and got a heavy heart on trying to link the reasons behind  making man in our own likeness….why  and yet man could be named just like the other creations, what was the exemption meant for?

After God created and all looked awesome, He Himself could descend and tour on to be impressed by the creations……From my mind I bet man was the manager, managing director, supervisor for He was superior and anyway I can’t see the likes of warthog, hyenas, zebras, even lions ruling. So Adam and Eve could walk around with God eh chatting, and this pleased God. This must be the great life moments which man could walk and chat with the highest Living God but without any knowledge of who I AM WHO I AM.

So next time you are down in that circumstance or even the heavy load of problems pressing you to see yourself a Man/Woman of a lesser God know that you got a superior being in you who can command and utter blessing upon your life, simply because you were created from His hands, you got God’s breath in you.
