If I was a tree
Would God take care of me
I do believe so
I wouldn’t have to wonder, I would know
Today I’ll become a tree
It is a good thing for me
I’ll stand still
I’ll wait for God’s will
I have never been a tree before
But now I am bound to know
Will God make it rain on me
Will he cause the sun to shine on me
Will he cause me to grow
Will he cause fruit from me to flow
Now that I am a tree how am I to know
Now that I am a tree planted by a stream
Will my hopes become a reality
Do I dare to hope and dream
Now that I am a tree, will God
really take care of me
If I blossom and grow
If my fruit is taken from me
Will God to me give more
Now that I am a tree
I am bound to know

You might ask: why do you want to be like a tree?
In many ways a tree is just like me
I don’t know many by name, but when I get to know them
we are all the same
Like the weeping willow I have been weeping most of my life
But after weeping for most of my life I came to know
the BANYAN, one tree that becomes a forest
The BANYAN belong to the mulberry family, which
includes some 800 species of fig plants.
Its beginning is humble, and so is mine
The BANYAN starts its long life from a seed
contained in the droppings of monkeys, birds, or bats
who have eaten the fruit of the BANYAN
I started my life from a humble unmarried female
After being victimized the BANYAN is ready to expand
I too after being victimized is ready to expand
Just like the BANYAN, my roots have dropped down into
the soil and taken root
The BANYAN serves as an umbrella of shade for humans
I desire to do likewise
The tree can live up to 600 years
I desire to live a long and purposeful life

The Great King of all kings
gave one of his little seedlings to a beautiful young woman and man
But they had to give the little seedling back
because they were too young to take care of the little seedling
Then the Great King of all kings
gave that little seedling to an old man and old woman
They had to give the little seedling back
because they were too old to take care of the little seedling
Even again the Great King of all kings
gave his little seedling to a great and famous man
But he had to travel all over the world
and didn’t have time to care for the little seedling
so he too had to give the little seedling back
to the Great King of all kings.
Next the Great king of all kings
gave his little seedling to a group of people to take care of it
But the little seedling was too complicated
and the group didn’t know how to care for the little seedling
They too had to give the little seedling back to the Great King of all kings
Then the Great King of all kings
said he would try just once more
to find someone to care for his little seedling
This time he gave his little seedling to
a strong and powerful businessman
This time the Great King of all kings
gave the little seedling special abilities
to be used by the strong and powerful businessman
but he refused to accept the little seedling
So the Great King of all kings
said he would take care of his little seedling himself
The little seedling grew well under the care
of the Great King of all kings into a
large tree that produced fruit for the whole world
Just one little leaf from this large tree reflected God’s glory.

Once there was a beautiful Queen
who was taken away from her world of many beautiful colors
The Queen was forced to live in a black and white world
The Queen was very unhappy
She cried every day and every night
The Queen hated living in a black and white world
She even cried black and white tears.
Then one day the Queen cried a bright red tear
The tear couldn’t be wiped off her face
And the tear wouldn’t dry up
One morning the Queen woke up and the bright red tear
had turned into a beautiful little princess
The Queen was so very happy.
The Queen named her little princess “HOPE”
because she hoped that the little princess
would not have to live in a black and white world.
As the little princess grew the Queen told her
about the world of many beautiful colors
The Queen told the little princess about a world
filled with colors like a rainbow after a storm.
Every time “HOPE” saw many colors together like a rainbow
she thought it was the world her mother had told her about
“HOPE” was happy until the world of many colors like a rainbow
told her that the color “BLACK” did not belong in the rainbow
But “HOPE” would not listen
She refused to live in a black and white world
She was determine to be part of a world of many colors.
Everyone became angry with "HOPE"
She was treated unkind and unfair
because she wanted to be part of the rainbow of many colors.
One day the Creator of the rainbow came for a visit
“HOPE” asked him why didn’t he make her part of the rainbow
He told her that he did make her part of the rainbow
He told her she was the black pot
filled with gold at the end of the rainbow
but only very special people with very special eyes
can see the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
(Sad to say, but there are many little "HOPES"
that are just like the black pot of gold at the end of the rainbow; never seen.)
CAN YOU SEE HOPE??????????????????????????????

We are all God’s children
He is our heavenly Father
Even if we do not have a mother
We have billions of sisters and brothers
But for some reason that is not enough
So we sat out in search of that something that we think we are missing
But we end up disappointed and some times we end up in trouble
Some find a wife
Some find a husband
Some find a boy child
Some find a girl child
Some end up finding a whole bunch of “things”
Some don’t find wife, husband, boys or girls
Some end up all alone
Some find riches
Some find fame
Some end up in shame
Some stands in the spot light and live in luxury
Some walk in the dark and live in the allies
Some sip wine and look at fine art in art galleries
No matter how much we try
In the end we all die
And where we go no one living knows

As a “CHRISTIAN” I cannot get the things I want
So I lie and say I thank God for what I have
when the truth is I really don’t want what I have
I say thanks for the bread I have when I really want
a big juicy stake
I say I am thankful to be alive when I really don’t have
the courage to say as Job: “I curse the day I was born.”
I believe I am just beginning to understand why people in
Bible times received some of what I do not
I didn’t seek God’s blessings, I wanted his praise
I wanted him to look at my works and declare me
good and righteous, better than “THOSE” sinners

Religion tells me that I must live a self-sacrificing life
That I must live a simple life
That I must be a servant, a slave working hard for God
That I must expect to be persecute if I want to be a child of God
Humans who are created in God’s likeness, in his image
Then explain to me why they don’t treat their children
like they say God treat his children
Take note of how people who love their children treat them
TRYING TO OUT-DO GOD IN LOVING
If you really want to know how God treat his children
you will have to go beyond Religion
There is a place beyond Religion
A place where you can really see God’s love
There is a place beyond Religion, a place beyond rules
A place like what happens between a new born mother and child
A place where the mother gives her child life and ask nothing in return
 |
“A MOTHER’S UNCONDITIONAL LOVE”
A place beyond Religion that is like the Garden of Eden
A place beyond Religion where humans are like “FLOWERS FROM ABOVE”
A place where Religion does not come between God and humans
A place where humans are not allowed to take Jesus’ judgment seat
A place where humans are not allowed to make new rules
A place where man do not dominated man to his own injury
A place where you don’t have to fight to win
There is a place beyond Religion
A place where there is no confusion
A place you will not have to ask
You will know what to do
There is a place beyond Religion
A place where no one will be
“TRYING TO OUT-DO GOD IN LOVING”

If you live your life to the full
Life gets better
You have heard the sayings
Wine ripens with age
Practice makes perfect
The more you practice living
The better your life gets
Life does indeed have many doors
And behind each door there is something to add to your life
The more doors you open the fuller your life becomes
The more I create the better my creations
With each improvement the more excellence the results
The more you work at something the better you become at doing it
The more you work at living the better you get at living
If you enjoy today
You will enjoy tomorrow more

I wore a smile because I didn’t want the truth to be known
That I was dying inside
I pretended to rejoice in my righteousness
But I knew that I was wicked inside
Most of what I pretended to be true was only lies
My doctor told me that I had fluid around my heart
But I knew it was only the tears that I cried inside
I lied to my religious leaders
I lied to my friends
I lied to myself
I lied so much until I had no idea
where the lies ended and the truth begin
Then I asked God to give me another chance
I asked him to let me live my life over again
He taken me back to my time in my mother’s womb
He showed me the mess I was in
Then He allowed me to do it all over again
When my heavenly Father showed me
the results of being conceived and born in sin
When I saw the condition I was in I died a thousand deaths
Each time a painful part of me died
I gave birth to a delightful and bright part of me
Every time I open my heart and let a painful part of me out
God puts delight in its place
Even though it has taken a very long time, some twenty-three years to be exact
Everything that I thought I had lost or missed out on
God has given me a hundred fold back
Every day
Every hour
Every moment
My life is like a river with a constant flow of refreshing waters
In God's love I wash from my head to my toes every day
My joy in constant, every morning new
I rejoice in how much I have grown
But none of this would be true
If God personally I did not know
I delight in Jehovah, my heavenly Father
And this my coutenance is always showing
From the inside outwardly I am glowing
My hearts desire is that others know my story
And to God give the glory
Everyday I thank God that he caused or allowed
me to live the life that I have lived and is living
I dance only to Jehovah’s music
