Troubled Soul
Troubled Soul,
Troubled Soul,
Do not sit
In the darkness’s glow
It’s angry face
Leaves only the sting
And disgrace
Of rejection
Sitting in a brackish cell
Formed by cruelty
Coming only from hell
Troubled Soul
Hear these words
For your pain there
Is a certain cure
Above this darkened
Black air
Over your bowed head
And tangled hair
A small light glows
Comes from Heaven
To let you know
There is a someone
Who knows your name
Wishes to discharge your pain
Forever
Christ loves your heart
Which has sat in the dark
For too long
So raise your head
Listen to every word
Being said
Inside your spirit
He will implant His own
There His truest Love
& Graces
Will forever be sown!
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“Ifyouloveme, 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. 25For 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?
Intimacy
A language lips will
Never know
Holds me enthralled
From crown to toes
My inner essence flames
Held inside this fleshly cage
Consumed at last yet held
Until the coming of a greater age
My being vibrates
With your love, O’ Lord
As your fingers stroke & fan
The light of life within
Held in the center of your hand
Where all true Joy & Peace begin
You See Me
(God)
You see me
I am known
In You I may
Grow
Become
More
Of What
You See
Me to be
A daughter
A son
With this thought
May I run
Be Still
Let you fill
My
Empty Hollows
Dull Ache
A Dull Ache
Somewhere
In the middle
Growing larger
No longer little
A need
more insistent
Almost a sharp
Pain
Then becomes
a Joy
This, the means
You employ
To draw me
Closer
Your Spirit
Entices
I come to
a Sun,
Beautiful Light,
Perfection
Holding only
Life
Your Purity
Your Goodness
You breathe
Eternity
Return to me
I will return
To you
As my
Desire
Intensifies
I wonder
When it will
Be met
This ache
This longing
We all
Within feel
This unmet
Need
We constantly
Try to fill
With shallow
Thrills,
Cheap pleasures
Life can feel
Like walking
Uphill
With a heavy
load
Your beauty, God
the only real
goad
To continue
Earth
As it is now
Will never be
Utopia,
[perfection’s
power]
Only with
Christ’s return
Will that
For which we
Yearn
Be Met!
Revelation 7:9-10 After this I looked, and there before me
was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation,
tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before
the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm
branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice:
“Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”
Revelation 7:17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne
will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of
living water’, and ‘God will wipe away every tear from
their eyes’.
