But, it is Personal


But it is Personal!

Up close
Eyeball to eyeball
Face to face
Chest to chest
Breath to breath
Until the second
Of your physical death
How close your God is

From the moment
Of our conception
Until at the foot
Of His throne
Our final destination
God wants and is
Close
So very , very close
Do not harden your
Heart
Like a rebellious
Lost world
Spiritually almost
Comatose

God wants to be
Intimate with you
Every beat of your
Heart is personal
To Him
Desiring for
All eternity
Your soul
To win
So let Him in

Let God the Father
Christ the Son
God the Holy Spirit
Be Personal with you
Your heart
Your very soul
Recreate
Refresh and
Renew!!

Saying Good-Bye!

This morning for the first time in a long time I was able to ride my bike on our river’s greenway system. Bunches of yellow wildflowers were everywhere because of all the nice rain we’ve had this summer. Some of their clusters were as tall as me (although I’m not that tall). However, things are starting to wither a little in August’s dryer days. Even the river is lower and more shallow with a little bit more algae on its surfaces. Below is a poem that came to mind as I rode.

Saying Good-Bye

Oh, my dear,
For me do not cry
Although for now
I may appear within
Your eyes to wither and
To die

During winter’s coldest blisses
It’s bleak winds trembling
Kisses
I may fleetingly disappear
But remember,

Next spring
For me will be found
A completely new start
So during winter’s dreariest day
My glory you may find
Held in the recesses
Love and warmth
Captive and living within your heart!

Turn the Back??


Turn The Back?

I wonder sometimes
Why, Oh Why
Why so many lacks
Food, clothes, joy
But the worst
Of all, love
Could it be
Because we've turned
The back?

To
Our original purpose
Even though bought
With a bloody purchase
What have I refused you say?
To this very hour
To this very day
Man still turns his back
On His Living, Breathing God
Of any questions????
Mostly without stopping
To even ask

So perverted are we,
So rebellious
But
Fortunately,
God for us
Is very jealous
In His extreme grace
Love and mercy
Sent His son
On a great journey

To die
On an agonizing cross
Bringing us back home
Gave us His Spirit
A deep, penetrating loan
To achieve His original purpose
Never again for us to roam
Too far out of
His Kingdom's gates
So we may receive
Forever that first taste
Of standing eternally before
Our Father's Beautiful, Smiling Face!!!

CHRISTMAS!!

Christmas

CHRISTMAS!!!

CHRISTMAS
Is about
CHRIST
And His Birth
In spite of
His intensely
Miraculous Worth
He chose
To have all of
His beauty,
Uncontainable Power
Heavenly Glory, Light
On a rare, never seen before
Or ever seen again night
Put into a fleshly
Child-like shell
Who would have thought
They would ever have had
Such words to tell!

But such did occur
Done for the human heart
To stir
To grab
Our attention away
From the mundane
Of each and every day
All of the world's
Daily dust
In which we seem
To mistakenly place
So much trust

So let go of all the sparkly lights
For a few seconds
All the man-made delights
Of a secularized season
And meditate upon
God's Holy Son
Leaving all of
Heaven's Glories
To live in a darkened stall
As He willing chose
To answer His Father's call
To sacrifice His Life's Beauty
Knowing the awaiting cruelty
Still, He did it solely,
Only,
Bravely,
Gloriously,
Eternally
To save all of us,
The you and me!!

Unstoppable!!

Unstoppable

A pouring out
A flood through
Heaven's Gate
Nothing, no one
This Holy Power
Will ever abate
For if Almighty God
Decrees it
Then every human eye
Every soul will
See it

No more darkness
Will rule God's planet
Christ's victory dance
Upon it
Is for all eternity,
All of God's infinity
Totally, and in resounding
Joy
Completely
And
Gloriously
Unstoppable!!!

Nothing


Nothing

There is nothing
Nothing
Let me repeat
Nothing
As beautiful
As wonderful
As
Being with
Christ Jesus
And may I guess
As breath-takingly
Stupendous
As my first glance
Into His Face

Oh,
The joy
The peace
To fill my soul
From such
Might not
my small heart
Explode?
For now,
I suppose
I do not know

But let me
You reassure
No matter for now
What you may
Have to endure
In a world so lost
That for it
There is no other cure
But
Christ Himself
If you hang in there
Persevere
Until the end
You will win
HIS INFINITY
So rare, unique
So Gloriously Pure!!
