Refreshing
Imagine
If you will
For a minute or two
Will not cause you
Extravagant pain
May be possibly
Worth what
You might gain
Sit back, relax
In your most
Comfortable chair
Shake your head
Let the wings of
Your imagination’s
Mind Soar
Above your daily cares
To the words in
An ancient book
Stop
Take a lingering look
Words so divine
Speak of our future
In a different time
To a new Heaven
And a new Earth
A time of complete
Rebirth
Not only for our
New bodies and souls
But of a new city
& planet we are told
A new city
Described in terms
Of gold and jewels
So precious, rare
For those
who will
Dare
To follow
Stay faithful
Even to a cross
Be willing to
Suffer loss
To be a part
Of the New Eden
If that book,
Bible,
Says it is so
It is so
In Christ’s words
& blood written
And in that
Revelation
Old World
Old Order
Gone
No more pain
No more death
No suffering
So forth we
Should Go
Boldly
Faithfully
To be enwrapped
Within HIS arms
In purest love
& surpassing Joy!
Judgement
Death comes to all
Separation of our spirit
From the flesh
Instituted by our fall
From His grace
Turned out of a
Paradise
And away from
His face
However, God
Still desires
Into His kingdom
everyone
To come
His planet
Even now awash in
His love
But there will
Be a day
Christ did say
When He returns
To light the way
To His
New Earth
A separation
Will occur
The Sheep,
Those he will keep
In His love
But with a Holy shout
The goats
Will be thrown out
Into the darkness
Where satan awaits
Between the fiery gates
It is your choice
To either praise, worship
& rejoice
In your
Creator/Father/ God
Do it now,
While among the living
do the giving,
Loving,
Sacrificing
do not be
caught unaware
do not miss
your share
of His Paradise
Choose to go the
Right way
In this you do have
The final say
Do not reject
Your God
He never rejects
Any feeble start
So !TODAY!
Do not harden
Your heart
Divisions Divisions, divisions
In a Sea
Of Faces
Never meant
To be
We were
Meant to be
All one
As
The One,
Father, Spirit
Holy Son Joined together
In the perfect dance
In one glance
You can see
This world’s
Ultimate Unity! So, it does
Not make sense
For God’s family
To be so divided
For this there
Stands no defense
A church, family
divided only
Hurts itself
Taking away
Not adding
Leaving all
Bereft of the
Fellowshipping
Love, Joy
especially
the Peace
Steals the
Equipping
Meant for us
So, Holy Family
God’s one true
Church
Tear down the
Walls Those horrible
Divisions
Never meant
To be
And we will
See. . .
Heaven!
Ephesians 4:3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.
1 Corinthians 1:12-13 What I mean is this: One of you says, I follow Paul; another, I follow Apollos; another, I follow Cephas; still another, I follow Christ. Is Christ divided?
I feel like
I feel like
A leaf,
A snowflake
Life goes by so fast
Like peering in a looking glass
Then you step away
What was it that you, God,
Had in mind
When you first thought of
Me
Was it to rhyme a line
So they perhaps might
See
Your Face?
Better, clearer,
Clearer, clearer
So they might
Draw nearer,
Nearer, nearer
To You?
Never will I know
All answers
This side of the grave
Questions will there
Always be
As on I in frailness go.
