Change

"If you never listen, you can't see. The devil has got so many people so disconnected that they cannot even listen or even sense when the Lord is speaking."

"Sometimes what not to do is more important than what to do. Sometimes when you are in crisis, when frustration are high or when you are under pressure, what you don't do is more important than what you do. Don't be afraid. ..."

"I am a bit old fashion but I believe in prayer, I believe prayer can move mountain. Prayer might not be our responsibility but it is a good starting place. It can give us heaven's prospectives on human problems. I know we need to do a bit more than pray but that doesn't mean we don't need to pray."

"All the failures in my life freed me from all my fears so that I can succeed."

"I am amazed upon the many battle that we engage in, be it money, control or matters of the heart, only very few of us knows how to fight in the right way or understand who we are really fighting against. To win any battle you' ve got to have the right strategy and resources because victories don't come by accident."

"Of what use is my going to church every day and still come home and remain the same? Of what use is my attending the mosques and the next day I enter the mall with knives and start slaughtering people in the name of religion. God is a God of variety. He was not stupid creating all of us different with our uniqueness. His creating us different shows the level of His creativity. He didn't make you white to hate black or vice versa. He made it so that we can cherish and love each other irrespective of our differences just as He loved us with all our flaws and our short comings. Can we forgive those who have offended us? Yes and some will say no but never forget that you are not worthy but God still forgives you even till the last hour of your life. If God can love us against all our atrocities why can't we learn to love one another. Take a look around you, you can only see sad faces. Was that really God's intention for us on earth? Absolutely not. But we have remoulded God's creativity to suit our taste and lifestyles and now we are reaping the fruit of our labour. You should not expect to reap love when you sowed the seed of hatred. What a man sows that he reaps. We sowed on weapons of war and we are yielding war in return. We have sowed on weapons of destruction so why are we asking for peace. If you ask me... I will say let's go back to our source. He has never lost any battle. I am a living witness."

"I would rather have a man chasing JESUS than a house full of stuffs and garrage filled with big cars."

"There must always be an opposition because the enemy always opposes what the Lord has declared."

"God always sees me with no make-ups on because He knew how we started."

"God is not interested in helping you finding out why you are in a mess, He is interested in fixing it."

"It’s when your plans look dead that God’s resurrection power begins to operate in your life in greater measure"

"There is a miracle in your mess, don't let the mess make you miss the miracle."

"Some things may never change but other things can be so completely different that they make the things that don't change bearable."

"... back then the sky seemed so vast. And now the sky above me... is low, and narrow, and heavy."

"I don’t know why everyoneis still trying to find out whether heaven and hell exist. Why do we need more evidence?They exist here on this very Earth. Heaven is standing atop Mount Qasiounoverlooking the Damascene sightswith the wind carrying Qabbani’sdulcet words all around you. And hell is only four hours away in Aleppo where children’s cries drown out the explosions of mortar bombsuntil they lose their voice,their families, and their limbs. Yes, hell certainly does existright now, at this moment,as I pen this poem. And all we’re doingto extinguish this hellfireis sighing, shrugging, liking, and sharing. Tell me: what exactly does that makeus? Are we any better than the gatekeepers of hell?"

"Building bridges is the best defence against ignorance."

"There's more to a person than flesh. Judge others by the sum of their soul and you'll see that beauty is a force of light that radiates from the inside out."

"Successes are those highlights of life we look back on with a smile. But it's the day to day grind of getting them that defines the laugh lines etched until the end of time. Enjoy each moment along the way"

"It’s the ‘everyday’ experiences we encounter along the journey to who we wanna be that will define who we are when we get there."

"There is no such thing as loving a child too much."
