Hey Everyone :) This is a poem written in free-verse Called: The Day I Created You. It was originally written last year and it came from a moment I had with God. I felt inspired by the Holy Spirit to take what He had spoken to me and put it in poem format. Some expressions in this are clearly human, that's partly because of artistic reasons and also because the message has gone through a human — yours truly. But despite all that, it is very much a message from God.

Unforgiveness. It is described by some dictionaries as, "the state of being unforgiving," and is not included in some others. It can hinder us from living normal lives. Join me in this episode as we dive into this topic that is essential for your: mental health, personal growth, spiritual and overall wellbeing. For Your Own Scripture Study 1.Colossians 3:13 TPT "Tolerate the weaknesses of those in the family of faith, forgiving one another in the same way you have been graciously forgiven by Jesus Christ. If you find fault with someone, release this same gift of forgiveness to them. 2.Matthew 18:21‭-‬22 TPT Later Peter approached Jesus and said, “How many times do I have to forgive my fellow believer who keeps offending me? Seven times?” Jesus answered, “Not seven times, Peter, but seventy times seven times! *The implication here is not that one should forgive 490 times but forgive many times. For deeper understanding, read the rest of the passage 23-35 3.Luke 11:4 TPT Forgive our sins as we ourselves release forgiveness to those who have wronged us. And rescue us every time we face tribulations.” 4.Ephesians 4:32 TPT But instead be kind and affectionate toward one another. Has God graciously forgiven you? Then graciously forgive one another in the depths of Christ's love. 5.Colossians 3:14 TPT For love is supreme and must flow through each of these virtues. Love becomes the mark of true maturity. 6.Romans 12:21 MSG Don't let evil get the best of you; get the best of evil by doing good. 7.Proverbs 17:9 TPT Love overlooks the mistakes of others, but dwelling on the failures of others devastates friendships. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/deo-kabunda/message

Psalm 24:26, "This is Jacob, the generation of those that seek, that seek Your face." We are a generation like no other: creative, smart, full of ideas and world-changing pontential.

This topic is a hard but wonderful one to talk about. In the beginning, God created Adam and Eve and through one man and one woman, every human being that is alive exists. My aim is not to talk about racism but to talk about what God intends through our different shades of skin. We're the same — created in the image of God but we're slightly different and that's okay; it's wonderful in fact. Unity through Diversity not uniformity. So join me as we look at this beautiful subject and dive into healing the wounds of the past. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/deo-kabunda/message
