Grace abounds

The epitome of Grace and Joy I have hope Though I have nowhere to go or turn towards I know  That Grace has taken away my shame That Grace has rescued me from my famine That Grace has reconciled me with himself That the process is in a continuum  And so May I never complain but plan May I not be tempted to withdraw For Grace is sufficient for me to stand poised May I be still and know that hope grows That I shall rise anytime I fall  Even if all odds are against me I don’t want to be lost May grace help me find home  Knowing that my father’s arms are widespread Ready to embrace me  Peace and love shall bind us Truthfully, I do not deserve but grace came in Only the hills shall I lift up my eyes to If all creation continues to worship, I can’t stop either Let my life reflect your goodness and mercy Though I don’t know how I am going to survive the days ahead Yet, someway somehow, these miracles engulf me I'm s...

Footslog

Life is beautifully designed Crafted with handsome hands It goes on no matter what happens. Interestingly, We laugh at ourselves to the core With tears of Joy We tease each other too Correcting the minor mistakes we'd made Knowing that there's no easy way out “Simple” You inspire me to know how wealthy that means And I don't want to see defeat Because things got complicated and tough But you also believe that conditions aren't permanent That the situations only get better with hard work A walk in the Livingstone Park   Prodigy, Having confidence with complements I see that in your eye all the time I see how tender your heart can be You’re tenacious with a touch of softness Grace I share in your all You radiate wisdom in its glory I'm a catalyst for progress Thus, believing in every step of the way I'll be here  You'll be here too So let's keep marching on in life

Pray

He told me to pray: For i t is good that you pray. You're a child of God. You believe in the goodness of the Lord. Praying helps you to get closer, stay in His presence and love God more. He's got you covered all through your life  And leads you on the path of righteousness  To ensure that all His promises for your life are fulfilled.   Also, it helps you to remember the Lord in the days of your youth  So that when you grow up, you will not regret not knowing him. When I pray every day and read my bible, I will grow.

MEETING POPE FRANCIS: MY ‘CHRISTUS VIVIT’ EXPERIENCE

The Lord is our shepherd and we are blessed to be under His watch. I was a pilgrim to the Vatican City while representing Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference (GCBC) and the Ghana National Catholic Youth Council (GHANCYC) as a delegate at the 11 th International Youth Forum. Like any youth, I am interested in the Church and the love it shares with the various communities around the world. I will share some thoughts and experiences with you. Victor among the delegate during one of the sessions In the month of June 2019, the Universal Church led by the Dicastery of Life, Family and Youth at the Vatican organized the 11 th  International Youth Forum dubbed  “Youth in action in a synodal Church” . This gathered about 250 youths, including 3 Ghanaian delegates, from more than 120 countries in Rome. The forum aimed at promoting the implementation of the final document from Synod of Bishops on young people, faith and vocational discernment. Thus, this Post-Synodal forum was ...

Sunset, YES!

Sunset view from the Livingstone Park in Zambia One of my favourite moments in life is seeing the sun set in its rightful place. Oh, the joy that brews in my heart is incomprehensible  I get teary anytime I miss that moment  It is so precious Words are insufficient when talking about the setting of the Sun I feel the goosebumps especially when I believe I am on that seashore The sight of the big reddish-orange ball hanging in the sky as it flashes its sparkling rays over the wavy sea is just soothing But in my village, I smell the hope that comes with the dusk And that’s the beauty of twilight  I believe it is evidence of the Lord’s goodness The calmness it brings is therapeutic  It gives me a sense of assurance that tomorrow is a treasure vault  A wise man always whispers to me, aspire for greatness In recurrence, you will rise and set You're the son of the Sun Captured through a bus window while I was crossing from Zambia t...

Cross and Portrait

Then I heard a voice from heaven “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am pleased.” Listen to Him! He who knew no sin became like us But in our daily lives, we struggle to become like Christ We are sinners! Yes, we are a sinner! And we do not deserve how close we have come with you on this journey But your blood has washed and presented us to yourself for your own purpose My Lord, my God! Even under the heavyweight of the cross, your love did not waiver. Yet under its shadows, you still expressed such unconditional love to Veronica Blessing humanity with a godly portrait of your dear scarred face Making use of the blood that gushed from the piercings of the thorny crown and the collage of bruises on your face It reminds me of the value you place on an unworthy son and servants like us But here on earth We have clogged our ears to the wailings of our brothers and sisters We come from all walks of life, sit in these pews and together with the choir we s...

IT'S ABOUT PERSEVERANCE

Recently, a colleague shared with me his experience with someone. " Yesterday I was at buys junction waiting for a bus to come pick me up.  After some few minutes, I heard the sound of a horn several times louder than the beginning so to me I took it that, for a busy road like that why bother think the person was calling me. And even we were far apart (about 120m). So I ignored the horn and at this time the horn had changed to a voice and I heard "heeey". With this the man drew my attention so I turned looking at his location and I realised it was an "Okada" (Commercial motor) driver. He then raised his hand asking me where I was going. Also with a hand, I communicated to him that I was going nowhere but waiting for someone. He left at that period and these were the thoughts that started dancing in my brain as I smiled" 1. The man means business this year! 2. He cares not who looks at him, so he wasn't intimidated by the mere passersby. 3....
