My identity(poem)

When the stars come out, I remember God's promise to Abraham

When I see tap water gushing out, I also remember the rivers of living water that flows out of me

When I see a bride's veil, I remember how there's no more veil separating me from Jesus

When I hear rain sounds, it makes me remember the storm Jesus conquered

And I know in this I would also find peace

My reality found in Christ is worth more than gold

The promises He made to me spirit and life

So much to treasure

Worth more than gold

The next day, I boarded a motorcycle to Agege, where our house was situated, I wore a black gown, I tried to look as miserable a

"What saved me"(part 3)

 After dinner, we stayed in the parlor and talked about school life, we talked for over 3 hours, during that period, we talked about what the future would hold for each of us and he said something that never left me.  "I might be perplexed on every side but never crushed". It sounded so strange but nice, I wondered if Shakespeare had a new book I never heard about. I asked him what he meant by that "Oh, it's just a boast I make in Christ" he laughed "Why and how do you do that?" "I have the authority too, I make boasts in Christ Jesus. "Wait, for what I was confused. "How would you boast in someone you are supposed to be afraid of, Kunle?" "We are not supposed to be scared but be joyous always because God is not out to get us but has shown us his lavish grace" "And how does he show his 'lavish grace?" I shot back "His grace is lavish, chill, I'll show you but his primary way was sending his son to di
