Every time I lament about not being good enough
I invalidate the truth that the price Jesus paid on the cross was enough
I am enough because Jesus is more than enough
I have been selfish in my thoughts
it’s not about me!
My applause
My praise
My awards
It is all for His glory!
I need to play the background

Am I ashamed?
No, I am afraid

It is a standard that is superficially and artificially imitated
and we know that those things can only be created in a lab
Continue reading “To be beautiful”my face
my name
my voice
you can identify me
but my words…
you don’t know who I am.
all you have are the words I write on paper
all you can judge is what you read, written
there are no colours in words
no prejudices in letters
only a language, if you understand it.
Continue reading “A face. A name. A voice.”I have a crush on you
and it’s probably not going to go away
it’s not the type of crush that demands attention
or wants your attention on me
In fact, I don’t care to be noticed by you
it’s the type of crush where I crush on everything you do
