Summer Sunday Haiku
Your inner man dies
Filling with the living Christ
this is true self-love
Media
Voices crying out
From every street corner
Vying for attention
Willing to grab, garner
In any way, your eyes
Which leads to
The heart
The inner you, do not
Let the world
Of you have
That part
These voices,
Indiscriminately cry out
Led by the great deceiver
Ceaselessly they shout
From
TV, magazines, airwaves
The Internet
The world in chaos
Do not give in, let
Them have your
Thoughts
Deluded by the greatest
Destroyer of all life
Father of all lies,
Murderer
Do not give them or him
your time
The World & its Media
Walk with blinders
Put on by one more
Clever than man
This Satan,
Do not let him have
Your hand
Do not be led
By his cruel heart
Instead give
Christ
That precious part
Of you
Which shall never die
Your spirit,
Created to be
Like the light
Meant to live in, see
God’s eternal glory!
Praise God!!!
Golden Glow
Golden Glow
Unseen by man
Filtered through
Divinity’s hand
Surrounds your head
Your heart, your soul
Heaven’s kiss
Christ lived within this glow
Existed below
Took up our pain
Sadness, struggles with
nothing for himself to gain
Infamy, disgrace
surrounded your death
angels wondered if anything
for man was left
To save our spirits
From the ancient blight
Of separation from God
Had we lost all of heaven’s light?
But once again
Heaven’s Golden Glow
Raised your body
To thoroughly show
God’s complete power
To always save
Proving His love
Will always win
Denying satan his
Destructive ways!
Golden Glow #2
Golden Glow
Encircling, wreathing
Your head
Its garlands reaching
Deep within your heart
It vaults to embed
As you walked &
Talked
This holiness with
You went
Surrounding all aspects
Of your fleshly tent
Until the day
We placed you on a
Cross
Satan howled in triumph
Thinking Heaven had
Lost
Not our best day
We followed his
Darkened lead
Marked your back
Your head, hands, feet,
Made your body bleed
Until you drew your
Last breath, last sigh
You would take for
A short while
But only three days,
Did your mother cry
Then the power of
That Holy Golden Glow
Pulled you up out of a
Darkened Tomb
For all of earth, all time
To know, and your
Divine Kingship to show!
For all the Broken Hearted
In the blackest
Hole of pain
Sometimes the only claim
I had was the
Glory surrounding His Name
Born an orphan child
Spit out into the wild
Chaos of a world
Lost, gone mad
Hot breath of Satan
In my face
Unfortunately, this was
My only place, this disgrace
I was forced to swallow
But do not despair
For me
For Christ came
Shook my world
Broke those old chains
Of desolation
So, for us
You and I
There is Hope
Do not retreat
I will tell
Try to speak
This prayer,
His perfect Love
Over You
I am a Blade of Grass
Not literally, I know
But
I am a blade of grass
Only another Part of Creation
Never meant to ever
Last
In this form, level of
Existence.
Shaped by Love’s
Own voice
It was my Creator’s
Choice
To give me life
Within
His bounds of Love
And Grace
Meant to live in the light
Of His most beautiful face
I am alive, green, for now
But He is the God
not I
For soon I too will wilt,
Blown upward to live
Within the expanses of
Heaven’s bluest skies.
So, I, the creation,
Am satisfied,
Transformed into
Heaven’s own child,
Transplanted to grow,
& Dance beneath his Smile.
So many people in the world have lost respect for our Creator, forgetting we are just another part of His creation & only here because He wanted to share His overwhelming beauty and love with us. Praise God!
This is a powerful message for everyone from Joy Cottage. Have a blessed day!
My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight, preserve sound judgment and discretion; they will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck. Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble. When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your […]
Grumbling and Disputing Philippians 2:14 ESV “Do all things without grumbling or disputing…” There is a massive “dispute” going on right now within the church over the gospel of our salvation. For there is a challenger which and who is standing in opposition to the Lord’s true gospel of grace. Primarily or foundationally the challenger […]
Essence
Essence of blood
Released from
A throne above
Soft, silky to
The touch
But each drop contains
A liquid fire
Burning, consuming, expanding
Enters the human
Heart
Rising, flaming up to
Leap to life upon its altar,
A burning release of passion
Ardor sent from heaven
To awaken the within
Of our souls
To purpose, new life,
overflowing joy dancing
among the flames
Multiplying, intensifying
Man’s weak embers
Into an ever rising
Song-lit flame
To ascend the skies
and join their Savior’s
Red flowing passion
drop by drop
it descended,
those red liquid flames
dripping, covering a darkened earth
hearts revive,
encapsulated by
this merciful King’s gift
within the fire of an
awakened life
Had a beautiful sunrise this morning. Pictures above are of that. Praise God!!
Light
Beams, thick shafts
This light
So clear, illuminating
The air
Around me
Enclosed, surrounded
In the middle
I stand
Inside this pure essence
Of light
I look to see, observe
feel
Raise a hand
I too am made
Of light
Mingling, becoming,
Blending
Transfixed, held by,
Composed of the
ephemeral Light
From overhead.
Until
I join, melt into
The material falling
From above
No longer separate,
Joined now,
Together with,
No longer the I
Of me
Only the us
Of we, together
I stand
Within the essence of
You
Every human on this planet has an inner need to be joined with our Creator. We are made of the same eternal spiritual material as our Father. We get ourselves into trouble when we go trying to meet that need in the wrong places: sex, alcohol, drugs, ego, temporary pleasure. Only a close, intimate relationship with Him can give the fulfillment, joy and contentment that only He can give. Praise God!!
In America we have become a nation of entitlement. People feel like they are entitled to everything the earth can produce, but the truth is we actually own nothing of this earth. We are just very temporarily using God’s property. God owns all of it for the ‘earth is the Lord’s and the fullness therein’. God owns every atom, molecule, square inch, every heartbeat, every breath on it because He made all of it and us. He owns us and can do with us whatever He desires. Fortunately for us, He is trying to love us into Paradise with Himself. John the Baptist said ‘He can raise up children of Abraham from the stones’. He is in control of everything.
Today women in this country even think they’re entitled to kill their own unborn children while still in the womb, and so many of the ones we let live we don’t try to teach them about Christ, God and the Holy Spirit at all. No wonder they feel so lost. They have no moral compass by which to steer their lives. We don’t even try to hold our marriages together for the sake of our own little babies! Don’t think as a nation we will not have to answer for this before the Living God.
Our country is in trouble spiritually. We should all get down on our knees before the Living God, praise Him and beg for forgiveness. We are so blessed that He is the most loving, kindest and most forgiving Spirit in existence. Praise God!!
