“Don’t let abuse be your child’s story: Make a change. End child abuse”

The Child Development Division within the Ministry of National Mobilisation, etc. will be observing the annual Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month from April 1 – 30, 2024. This is in keeping with St. Vincent and the Grenadines' commitment to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. The theme chosen for this year is “ Don’t let abuse be your child’s story: Make a change. End child abuse ” with a focus on child neglect and abandonment. This theme addresses our goals of informing parents of their tremendous power to prevent child abuse; to educate and increase awareness in homes, schools, and communities as we use positive promotional activities geared towards strengthening families and fostering a network between the Ministry, the Police and Communities. As part of the month’s activities, churches are invited to commemorate “ Blue Sundays .” This is an annual event where churches of all faiths are asked to pray for the victims of child abuse and to demonstrate

Completeness!

He is the all completing God The one I've found to be true The one who has accepted all our faults and wicked deeds, Yet He freed us from condemnation and gave us Salvation in our time of need.... Men's eyes are always watching anxiously waiting for a fall Sometimes they spend many hours plotting, making plans throughout the night And when you least expect it, your walls come crumbling down in sight... How can men be so heartless and cruel to other men? Must we feed on each other's misery until there is no more hope for them Sometimes we act as cannibals who eat in silence and pretend that all is well when our faces are clean after ten... Who then completes you and who can understand our being? Who then can love you and honor you with a price far above gems? The all sufficient God, the one who fashioned all parts of the body and has made all living things around us, He knows about our malfunctions and He knows when we are doing exceedingly well... So trust the

My Sister, My Friend

Whose to blame when things go wrong between us When you no longer think of me with beautiful thoughts of love And your heart seems puffed up with resentment and anger... a river waiting to explode You were a sweet and gentle girl with the eyes of a student And suddenly the days changed you into arrogance and steel Who can mend the nets of adversity that lay against us Who can stop the feud that brews across our shores Only the Healer, the Redeemer of mens souls He can take what is and make it not Fires started may want to spread their fury upon our world but Only the Keeper of the flame can put them out or stand within , To keep us from the experience of the burn One thing is certain and that I'm confident of - My God Elohim will never leave us comfortless, nor will he forsake His own His words are true to the very end so my trust remains in His love And the power of His grace Love and peace to all sisters and friends who share the bond of sisterhood. Faith, Hope, L

The More I Get To Know You

The more I get to know you, The more I want to spend time with you And a wakening stirs from the depths of my soul; Which cannot be stilled or quenched I know not where it will reach its end or what will happen on my journey to your world But I know that to fall short of this destiny would be the anguish of my hopes and dreams Your Spirit draws me nearer, pulling me, tugging me gently to follow after the One who holds my tomorrow, the Key to our Salvation I will throw myself into your embra ce, willingly letting go of  everything that has weight to pull me d ow n, Your peace will quiet very billow and all the raging waters that rises up against us, Your people will praise your name forever Almighty God, And we gladly hail you as the King of all Kings We cry out to you Oh Lord, be pleased with our worship, Be pleased with our song s, for the more we get to kn ow you, the more we grow inlove Your presence we will cherish, your name we adore Jehovah God our Healer, Pres

Mid Year Praise And Appreciation

Oh Lord our God, we thank You and we exalt You for being with us today, You are the Wonderful God who reigns forever and ever We thank You for bringing us thus far to this present date in time and  We thank You for allowing so many blessings to fall our way, Your rain falls on the just and on the unjust, the guilty and the free,  The righteous and the unrighteous; this is living proof that You are the merciful God When men get tired and weary of each other and their empathy grow cold; Yet You Oh Lord stay warm and loving with Your kindness and everlasting love that flows boundless from age to age. It washes over the surfaces, cracks and crevices of our soul; Your love never gets cold and it is just perfect for us each day Trials and tests, temptations and tribulations have not been able to hinder You LORD from loving us Though humanity failed and has fallen short of glory, Your beauty and Your splendour lasts forever, So we cling to Your garments oh Lord our G

April Greetings!

Happy April greetings to everyone. Sorry for being so late, the month started out quite hectic but God has been awesome. He brought me thus far with his power, for this I am grateful. There is truly no one like the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He sees our awkward moments and makes them special with His love. Through every test and every trial, He promises to be with us if our trust is in Him. Many put their trust in things that cannot move, hear, speak or even understand what they are going through. Some even put their trust in entities that are rebellious against the nature of the true and living God. But in all of these things He is still merciful and He is still kind towards us, He is long-suffering towards His people. But He will not always chide, for man's ways are evil before Him, many do not believe His ways, they walk according to their own thoughts. Yet He will pardon, He will forgive and He will set you free from every chain that binds you, if you only surre

Broken Dreams

Worthless, shameful, bastard, good for nothing Echoing through my head Pitiful, Anger, Rage, I hate you bursting through my soul Oh how I wish for this to end Won't I ever feel good again? But I just can't help the way I feel; Because of those words they hurl at me My dreams have become like broken sticks I look around and all I see are people making fun of me; Who is she, she'll never make it, her life will never change Am I just another victim of the system? I asked myself that day. Who said that? Who told you those things about me? Did it come from you or did my creator tell you so? The one who made you and I have better things to say  As he knows what I was created to do So don't judge me by the suit I wear, or the materials that I do not have because my life is worth far more than what you can imagine or think,  It can never be measured or calculated by the instruments of men,  Only God can determine my life according to

Baba We're In Your Presence

Image
All honour, all glory, all praise, all thanksgiving and all worship be unto his majesty, the Lord of all Lords who reigns forever and ever. His name shall be lifted up high above the activities of men and the things that take our attention away from him each day. May we be the people who desire to live in his presence and seek him with our whole being. For in him there is newness of life and in him there is no shame at all. All shackles of this life are easily broken and there is freedom in the souls of them who put their trust in the Lord.  Broken relationships are mended and marriages never loose their value to those who dwell in his presence daily. Here is a song to bless your heart and to bring peace to your soul today. Baba by Sonnie Badu Baba we're in your presence, let it rain Oh your rain, let it fall on me We're in your presence, let it rain Oh your rain, let it fall on me We're in your presence, let it rain Oh your rain, let it fall on me W

Greetings!

Greetings and special welcome to everyone! Daughter of Zion is here to encourage women all across the earth to fulfill the purpose to which they have been called. We are constantly struggling to find our place in this world and are also seeking for fulfillment and a peace of mind. However, some of us are yet to begin our journey of knowing what we really want and need in this life. Sometimes, it takes a lot from us to figure out how to begin our lives and how to make things work for us. Life is not always as it seems and so creating more avenues to ease the pressure of life has become quite necessary for many of us. With this in mind, Daughter of Zi on will be the light to the path for many, despite the circumstances or situations that we are faced with on a daily basis. We will be that source of encouragement that you need each day, letting you know that you can make it, no matter what your economic status, educational level, social standing, political affiliation, ethnicity, cu

Beautiful Flowers

We are like beautiful flowers of God's garden Our colours, our lifestyles and our natural experiences in life a re all different from each other.... But one thing is sure and that is our strength, We can move mountains when we put our minds to it, No matter what pressure we are faced with and our backs maybe against the wall, there is always an extra strength that rises up within us to get things done Day by day we focus our attention on meeting the needs of our friends and loved ones We do our best to make them happy; sometimes even at the sacrifice of our own needs But God is good and merciful, his love towards us is great, his arms are always ready to receive us when we call So now I call you mighty woman of God, it doesn't matter where you have have been or what you have done; it doesn't matter to him at all. His love for you is endless and his grace is sufficient enough for you, despite the many times you've fallen and felt like giving up. He will ne

The Cry For Love

Bless the Lord Oh my soul and all that is within me. I will bless his holy name. For he is the rock of my salvation and the God in whom I will trust. I thank him for this morning and the many mornings in times past when he woke me up by his spirit and placed a song in my heart to sing.  There is nothing greater than the love of God and it is most glorious when it is demonstrated by his people. So many persons are looking for love today. They try to connect with everything and anything that they believe will offer them that feeling of being loved. But real love can only be expressed through persons who have experienced it for themselves. And this experience is attained when one has found the love of the Almighty God who reigns forever.  His love is the expression of Jesus Christ the only begotten son of the father, who sacrificed himself for all of us so that we don't have to die a premature death in sin. (Premature death is when one dies before fulfilling their purpose or

'Reflections'

Tonight as I was about to take rest, I hear the words of the song ' Healer ' playing in my spirit. It is such a sweet moment when our being becomes fully saturated with the presence of God, that it overflows continuously with hymns, psalms and spiritual songs. That moment is so heavenly, so divine that we find ourselves wanting more and more. There is the longing for that experience to grow deeper and deeper each time. His love then surrounds us and immediately all pain, all hurt, all anguish begins to fade away. The only thing that matters then is the greatness of The One who died to set us free from sin and all unrighteousness.  He is the everlasting Father and Saviour of our souls. There is no one greater than him, The Omniscient Lord. The song ' Healer ' brought such sweet memories his presence to me. The times when he healed me from all brokenness, anxiety and the confusion that used to linger in my head. Now I am delivered, healed and basking in the love

The Secret

I met God in the morning When the day was at its best, And his presence came like sunrise Like a glory within my breast. All day long the presence lingered All day long he stayed with me; And we sailed in perfect calmness O'er a very troubled sea. Other ships were blown and battered, Other ships were sore distressed; But the winds that seemed to drive them Brought to us a peace and rest. Then I thought of other mornings, With a keen remorse of mind, When I too, had loosed the moorings, With his presence left behind. So I think I know the secret Learned from many a troubled way; You must seek God in the morning If you want him through the day.                                ~ Ralph S.

Thankful!!

Today I sit here pondering about what I should do and what I should say. Many things come to mind, each thought sounds inspiring. But then, as I started to write, I become utterly consumed with a deep longing to give God praise and thanks for giving me this opportunity to manage this blog and all the many wonderful things that he has given me, is giving me and will continue to give me to share with you. I feel truly blessed and excited to share with all of you the insights, testimonies and all other wonderful stories that you will come to know and understand when you visit this site. My prayer is that you be inspired daily to progress and move forward in life fulfilling the destiny that you were appointed to have. Stand tall today, lift your head up and know that there is someone greater than all the greats out there who is looking after you each and everyday. And in spite of all that you are seeing and hearing, negativity, lawlessness and all manner of ill-will taking place in so
