He was there, with arms wide open, calling me... It was crazy... Here I am a young, average, random dude... Undeserving of His love and He reaches out to me... &lt;br /&gt;Love really is strong, for how can a Holy God, love someone like me...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a dream last night,&lt;br /&gt;There I saw Him again,He told me that He was working all things together for my good and that he had it all covered...can you imagine that? He said that His love for me will never end and that He has called me for greater thing... very funny... You should have seen the way I laughed, Me? Greater things... I doubt He knows about my low self esteem and insecurity issues... Funny thing is He says he does. How did he even know I was thinking what I was thinking &lt;i&gt;sef&lt;/i&gt;? This man...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had an illusion of reality... It had to be an illusion... I saw Him die for my sake... Who does that? I don't even love Him the way He loves me so why die? who does that? It had to be an illusion. People were beating Him like a criminal, He was spat on and they gambled with His clothes... for me... I did not send Him message... I no send am...but &lt;i&gt;e be like say the Guy send me sha... Abi&lt;/i&gt;? No... It has to be an illusion of reality... I should see a therapist cause it is like I am imagining things... Yes oh...&lt;br /&gt;Thing is, He came near and carried me and said... This is no illusion, is has real as the air you breathe... WOW!!! There is most definitely no greater love than this...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is why like TY Bello, I will love this Man for the rest of my life... For Him to do all that He did for me, He has to consider me special, the apple of His eyes...&lt;br /&gt;This love is all I need... it is all I want...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you Jesus for this vision of love&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Inspired by the song Vision of Love by Out of Eden&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9066678162073499597-5669955734942704055?l=ananispeaks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ananispeaks.blogspot.com/feeds/5669955734942704055/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ananispeaks.blogspot.com/2010/04/vision-of-love.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9066678162073499597/posts/default/5669955734942704055'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9066678162073499597/posts/default/5669955734942704055'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ananispeaks.blogspot.com/2010/04/vision-of-love.html' title='Vision of Love'/><author><name>Harry Itie</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108294417376522242852</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Nu1Gvkpiyvs/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAABCM/yQ2C_ly1EP8/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9066678162073499597.post-6608798666372812427</id><published>2010-04-19T13:16:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-04-19T13:16:31.272+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='God'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Love'/><title type='text'>Me &amp;

scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Anani'/><title type='text'>Swagger Like Him</title><content type='html'>Nobody has got swagger like Him,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not on earth, not even in the heavens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you want to know why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;The earth is His and the fullness thereof,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All that is in it is sustained through Him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mountains declare His greatness,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The trees stand in awe of His majesty,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The flowers cannot comprehend His beauty,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The oceans are not as deep as His love for me, for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I ask again who has got swagger like Him?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I searched everywhere, anywhere,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found no one, no one at all,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The angels live to sing His praises,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is the King of the heavens,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Lord of the skies,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The highest heavens cannot contain Him,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The angelic host proclaim “Holy is our God”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I say that it is impossible to have swagger like Him,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was there before the word was formed,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And He will be there when the word fades away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who can have swagger like Him?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among the gods, among principalities, among powers, among men,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one, absolutely no one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is I AM THAT I AM,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The First and the Last,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He lavishes His love on those who love and obey Him,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is a gracious and merciful King,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He makes all things new and beautiful too,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is love, giver of the law, the Judge who us mighty to save,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The One who is, who always was and who is still to come,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Almighty One, the Ancient of Days,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The King of swagger.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9066678162073499597-8419398094704086933?l=ananispeaks.blogspot.com'
