Been to Hell

 
 
 Been To Hell
  
 I have been to hell
 & I can truly tell
 You do not want to go there
  
 I have known
 Nothingness
 No words can express
 Such a horror
 In my life, it was the
 Most severe of tests
  
 At such a fresh, young age
 Life at its very start
 No joy, light or hope
 Was there to fill
 My very frightened heart
  
 Known have I a complete
 Vacuum of love
 Dark void, satan’s hate
 Empty was the space upon
 My very first plate
  
 Until I was allowed
 To look up
 A light began to stir
 From a place above, afar
 Beautiful, unknown before
 Glistening, a hopeful star
  
 Waiting.
 All I had to do was try
 & reach
 You did the rest
 & came to teach,
 Love, fill
 For You had a deep darkness
 To kill
 & You did, Lord Jesus
 You Did!!
  
 Praise You, Lord Jesus
 Praise You, Lord God
 Praise You, Holy Spirit

God has the power to raise you above any circumstance in your life but you must receive it, let Him fill you with Himself. You must let go of yourself and this world. He loves you passionately, profoundly and completely. Praise God!!!

Winter Whites

 
 
 Winter Whites
  
 Winter always reminds me of white -- purity. I don’t know, maybe because 
that’s when it snows the most. Things always seem to slow down.
 The frantic growing of spring and summer is absent. The earth seems
 to be taking a rest.
 Less rushing around
 Time to let go
 More repose
 Be slow
 More inner reflection
 Look for a higher direction
    For my thoughts
 Be enveloped by
 Peaceful stillness 
 Make it an endeavor most earnest
 Go deeper into myself
 That inner me
 I usually place upon a shelf
 As I rush around
 Get to know God’s peace that
 Passes understanding.
  
 Come, Lord Jesus, come.
 Recreate your world and
 Leave your peace and repose!

Sacrifice

If you are not willing to sacrifice anything (time, energy, Money, pleasure) to follow Christ then you do not love Him.

John 14:15 ¹⁵“If you love me, keep my commands.

Matt 16:24 Then Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. 25 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?

Graceful Ladies (just a bit of whimsy)

 
 
 Graceful Ladies
 (a slight whimsy)
 
Graceful ladies
 All in a row
 Is it just for glee
 You choose to show
 Your whitest underbellies
 Shedding dark bark
 You simper & glow 
 From top to toe
 As you continue to 
 Strut in your underclothes!
  
 My Mama would be shocked
 Papa enraged
 If I dared to engage
 In such behavior
 I cannot do the same
 As you
 Nor dare I choose
 Such brave frivolity!

The large old sycamore trees along our river greenway are even more lovely in winter when, without leaves, you can see their white bark even better. Have a blessed day & Praise God!
