Answer
Most stand calling
Not realizing they do
What is it they Desire?
They need You,
Lord, God
The passion, fire
Of your heart
For them!
That is the answer
We all need.
In blindness &
Stumbling, fumbling Is this not what
We all seek?
Seeking joy, peace,
Fulfillment,
Love
We wander, fight
Shove
For our share
Of this earth
When all true lifeFlows freely from above.
INSIDE GOD’S HEART
We were made to live
From the very start
This is the purpose,
ANSWER
For which we were
Created
In only this,
Are all needs sated
To live daily
In contentment
More Fulfilled
Try as much as you
Can
To live inside
His Will
His Intellect,
His purposes
Your old man
That self
Must be killed
To let Him have
His way
Over you
His swaySo you may say,
Not I but Christ
That liveth in me.
But because we turn
Away
Harden our hearts,
Without our true calling
We endlessly wander
Thru all of life
Unsatisfied, discontent
stumbling
& falling
Exposure
So I will lay myself
Bare
I do not care
If they stare
If a glimpse into
My soul
Will bring them
Into your fold
then God, Let it be
If looking into
My heart
Will get them to
Start
Seeing you better
If it be ever so clever
Of
You to begin
then may You win
them on their journey
closer to your Son
bright, blazing glory
of your face
joy unbounded
found only
in the grounding
of each soul
in your great power
and self!
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?
ExistenceMy heart beats
My lungs breathe
I can laugh,
Play,
Savor the day
I exist
My thoughts are
My own
In my head
They have found
A home
Within to rest
Put me to the test
Will I or won’t I
Do this or that
I can hear these,
My thoughts
For you see
This is the real
You and me
A living breathing
Spirit, soul
Only temporarily,
For now
Attached to this
mortal shell
Given a chance
to grow
Get to know
The One who runs
The universe
And beyond,
Transcendent,
With His Son
For one day He
Has promised
He will come
This living,
breathing Son
Shining in all His splendor
This wonderful Giver
Of our Life
This gift of
Our Existence!
My Debts Up to my eyeballs in debt
I sigh I moan
I truly, deeply regret
What I have done
To myself
No one else to blame
Oh, the embarrassing shame!
Oh, what I cannot claim
Of wisdom
Loud commercials
Made it seem so real
Oh, their endless appeal
So, I got sucked in
By the alluring din
Of a greedy world
So now I am an endless slave
This I can mostly certainly say
Onward I go
Trying to show
A new confidence
I slug away
Each morning, new day
At the mountainous debt
Trying to correct
This wreck
I’ve made of my life
I know it will end
And I will never, ever,
Ever again spend
Myself into this death march
toward another fresh & open
financial grave
Probably not such a good poem for this time of year, right before the biggest gift giving holiday, but still timely I hope. Remember it’s only one day out of the year. Remember God loves you and wants only the best for you and your family. Have a blessed and peace filled day!
