PROJECT TWINKLE : YOU ARE SOMEONE'S SHINING STAR

I stretch my finger in accusation at an acquaintance. Why look down on people of low estate, Why cringe at the mention of areas perceived as slum in the metropolis, How dare You! Why won’t you do something? So wealth is fearful of the masses, that’s why it resides only in your bosom, May I ask to partake of the crumbs that roll off your table? It is no value to you but your cast off makes tomorrow bearable for one like me. I am deficient now don’t mean my future isn’t shining like the twinkle star, Even when I wonder what I am now, One day I might convince myself that despite dirty rags that now clings my skin, And growling stomach about to devour its neighborly intestines and liver as food, I may just believe that I am that diamond in the sky. But now I need help to stay the dripping faucet that calls itself my shelter, The holes in my tent are like observatory I often gaze the heavens, waiting! Hoping that I am not forgotten here in the cold or baked

GIVE YOURSELF SOME CREDIT

   You know how the saying goes "You are the product of the things you hear", I take this to be true and as individuals, if we open up our ears to unfiltered information particularly from unchecked sources we will find that our lives will unconsciously fall into the pattern of what we consume as social advice.    We know that the primary sense of hearing is the ear but if you think about it, you hear with your eyes as well if not clearly than your ear. You want to ask how? Notice how for instance you pick up a book to read in a quiet place where there is no sound, you will soon realize that what you read with your eyes resounds within your ears as though the book speaks to you as you read it. It is how you get engrossed or say "this book really spoke out to me", it's how the Holy Spirit speaks to our ears when we read the scripture with our eyes. Our eyes are linked to our ears so we won't be amiss when we say "You are what you look at".
