Daughter Of Zion

by Mr Chrislove™

YOU RAISED THE BAR

When they said 
You raised the bar, 
I thought it was all candy. 
Now we are striving to cross the bar
Like it's fenced with barb wire
I used to be a rebel
Locked behind Satan's bar
Till I learned about
Your journey to hades
And the come back with all the keys
Now my chains are broken and forever free
Not a temporary freedom on bail
But you paid for my past, present and eternal freedom 
I'm not trying to live like you 
Cause that's just unrealistic expectation
I just strive to be the me
You cut the veil to give unlimited VIP access
Now I live everyday with gratitude
Not because everything is going rosy
On this side of the Kingdom
But because no matter what happens 
I'm always loved and cherished
As a Son and Joint-heir to the Throne
And also cause my advocate & counsellor
Has been walking in me much closely lately
So I'm grateful!

Hello Tomorrow 
I know you will great
Because the Word says so
And I look forward to seeing you.
And though Today seems rough
And my vision looking foggy
And tarrying longer than anticipated
Like the Deluxe version of Winnipeg winter
That I still get to love and enjoy 
Yet will I joyfully endure the cross
Despising the shame 
Even the shame of daily trying to explain
"God's time is the best"
Even to those who taught me that.

I am not doing that by my strength though
Because "by strength shall no man prevail"
Neither is a mighty man delivered by much strength
I am looking up to Jesus,
The perfect example of rejoicing in trials
Because of His Tomorrow - seating at the  right hand of the Father
And I trust him as a joint-heir with him.
Therefore, though I want you, Tomorrow 
To be tomorrow based on our Central Times
Even if you tarry, I will graciously wait
Because I know that like a vision from God
You, Tomorrow is an appointed time
And you will surely come and not tarry.
While I'm waiting to see you 
I am not just seating idle waiting for you
Rather, I am preparing for you
I am partnering with the Holy Spirit,
My Senior Advocate and Helper
To solidify the foundations 
On which you will be built
Making sure that it's rock-solid
And able to withstand the rains,
The floods, the storms and the tempest of life
So that when you come, Tomorrow,
You will be proud of what Grace
Has empowered and strengthened us 
To build Today.
It's around 8:51PM central times Today 
And it's getting late here 
Night is coming when no man can work
So let me go tidy up and refresh
Before Today runs out
See you Tomorrow!

Life is a Time Game

Every move in life is like a game.

And so you need to ask and consider a few questions:

what are the rules of the game?

what are the risk of the game?

What are the possible rewards?

What happens if it’s wrong move?

What are the consequences of making the wrong move?

Is there any opportunity for second chance?

Is there any cheat codes?

Can you possibly cheat and get away with?

What’s the consequences if caught?

Is there an opportunity to quit along the way?

How do you know when you have won or lost the game?

Does it really matter if you win or lose the game?

But again, remember that you don’t always have the luxury of time to consider all these things.

So what exactly will you do when you are confronted with an opportunity to make a move?

Actually, I think the bigger question is why on earth did I risk what I just did just to tell you Happy New Year?

I want you to think. Maybe I want you to plan. Or maybe plan to think or maybe I want you to think of a plan.

Anyways, it’s a new year!

Whether you think, plan, move or stay put

Remember that

life is a time game and you are born a player.

The War Within

Daily I’m at war with myself

A war that chose me

Not because of my doings

But just because I’m human

A spiritual war over my soul and mind

Some days I win

Other days I learn

But one thing is sure

Even in the mist of it all

The Peace of Christ Jesus

Which surpasses all understanding

Keeps my heart and soul together.🤍🕊

If Poetry Is My Therapy

If poetry is my therapy

Then I’m in a better mental state now

But if poetry is my lifestyle

Then I’m a better lazy poet now

Whether a lazy poet or in a healthy state

I still hold on to the dream I have

That one day, and we are a day closer

I am a Canadian Parliamentary Poet Laureate.🦅🌹

Only Certain Humans

"Facing the detours of a perfectly nurtured life; our lives shall never be the same again" 
Facing the detours of a perfectly nurtured life 
Our lives shall never be the same again
For one - it's an issue of where 
For one - it's an issue of being
For one -it's an issue of checking up on a friend
For some - it's wrong timing
"The system attached imperfection, crime and hatred to a people perfectly crafted in the image of a perfect God"
But for all - it's an issue of being and who
The system attached imperfection, crime and hatred 
To a people perfectly crafted in the image of a perfect God  
Give it a name
Racism 
A systemic display of ignorance and foolishness 
"Being human used to bring joy to other humans but here only certain humans are really humans"
For many, their youths were taken away 
Many trees never live to see their fruits 
Many fruits never get to see the trees they came from  
Being human used to bring joy to other humans
But here only certain humans are really humans
What a tragedy!

Give Me A Drink

If I run
Can I run from myself?
If I escape 
Can I escape from the memories?
If I am lost
Can I get lost in you?
If I loose it all
Can I be found in you?
The farther I run
To escape from past memories
The closer I get 
To the lost me
Why am I being hurt
By the dead me
If I was already dead?
Maybe my idea of being reborn
Is informed by the dead
In any case, I need a new life
A renewed hope
I dont mean a new episode
Of the past shows
I need the whole new Script
One with all the acts written on the heart
How can I drink the new wine?
Should I even drink the wine?
Not the wine for stomach sake
But the drink that I thirst no more
Please give me a drink
