Straight from the heart
STRAIGHT
FROM THE HEART

this video,
Have you watched the above video? I just celebrated my
gift of life about two days ago and when I look back at the years that have
gone by, all I can say is that I’m grateful to God Almighty for giving me the
gift of life. When one chooses to follow God and live righteously, the journey
will be hard but every birthday, everyday and every year is like God asking me
to give Him my best and not to give up like the coach in the video. There were
times where I felt like just throwing the towel and giving up but as St. Paul
writes beautifully in Philippians 1:6, “He who began the good work in you
will carry it on to completion,” I am sure the good Lord will indeed
finish what He started in me after all did He not know me before He formed in
my mother’s womb (Jeremiah 1:5) and yes I can say I have come a long way although
the journey is not over. I believe the good Lord continues to work through the instrumentality
of my parents, relatives, friends, well – wishers and even the people who gave
me a hard time, for which I’m thankful.
I would like to end this blogpost /article with a song
that I wrote (sung and played by me also) called, “Help me be a better man”
which is more like a prayer asking God for the grace to help me give of my best each
day (listen to the song with earphones/headphones for better sound quality),
