Self
Self is an illusion
Selfishness a greater tragedy
I am an extension,
Imprinted with and by
Someone Else.
Created in another’s image
Given some of His attributes
Living in His pleasure
I reach out my hand
And return to the one
I came from.
Death is a release
from my separation
From my Creator/God
This, my Yahweh.
Joy on A Page
Words on a page
Ancient as time
March in procession
Line by line
Written by a holy finger
Within the fires of truth
I pray deep in my heart
May they forever linger
Written in ink so black
Copied, recopied by scribes so holy
Yet, at times it took man’s blood
To tell God’s eternal story
Read His Word
Which shall never pass away
Lifts us up, transcending all strife
Leads to His perfect joy, love
& the Blissful Ecstasy of
His Forever Life!
When Jesus talked to Nicodemus, He spoke about our rebirth. In John 3:5 He speaks of being reborn of water and the Spirit.
Romans 6:4 We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. NIV
Rebirth!
It tears at my flesh
My soul is reborn
Into a world of light!
No more running from the night.
I thank you, Gracious Lord,
for this Glory of New Life
It runs downhill and up
in endless joyful Flight!
It is so sad to see such a great country as ours literally destroying it self morally. There is still good and God’s grace and love in it, but America is slowly dying from moral decay. We have had the sexual revolution of the 60’s but now have the highest divorce rate in the industrialized world and an almost total lack of respect for marriage, the home and the family. We don’t even try to hold our homes together for our own little babies. Sexual morality is falling apart. Our entertainment glorifies sexual promiscuity and infidelity.
We are so caught up in consuming useless man-made things and hedonistic pleasure seeking we can’t hardly see straight. There is more to life than just partying all the time. God meant for our lives to be so much more. Seek His ways. His guidelines for life give it a richer depth and show us we were created to share His love, glory and peace and to reflect that back to each other.
Dear God,
I pray for a spiritual revival in this country. We need you so badly. May we return to the foot of your cross Lord Jesus to find our purpose in this world again. In your name I pray, Amen.
A World
A world once
So green and fair
spinning in air
now dipped, drenched
in a Savior’s red blood
only way to
cover its darkness
Nobodies
Christ,
Hanging on that cross
Did you know my name
Did you see from there
This my sometimes
lonely way?
Born alone
Into a freezing cold
I took my first breath
Orphans too have souls
Tossed about
In waves
Beyond my control
Landed at last
upon a very rocky shoal
bent but not
completely destroyed
created in, by the light
not just for an evil’s toy
I sat alone, waiting
existing within your might
A nobody,
One of the Least
of the least of
The Least
Rejected in a
World’s insanity
Why do we not love
These Our own,
Parts of ourselves
I too belonged here also
Yet as
You hung upon that cross
You turned your face
Upon my future
Offered me your grace
Yay, I’m saved!
