Decisions (Original Poetry)

Decisions

Straddling the fence, a mind divided by two
Wanting to go this way and over there too.

I'm straddling the fence, though I know the obvious truth
Time to let go of my wants, time to connect deeper to You.

 

Listen to His Voice (Original Poetry)

I've heard age is nothing but a number,
Which is true, especially to Him above.
Never can one be too young or old
To learn something new under the Son.

Though His Book may have aged,
His words are alive and well.
Teaching us how to love others,
Deny our lusts,
And helping us save ourselves.

Yes, His Word is amazing.
Truth,
That contains no lies.
Bringing comfort to the orphans,
Peace to the widows,
And wisdom to the wise.

Within His word there is freedom,
A newness to our lives.
With abilities to teach old things
Like they were new to our sight.

So if you want to succeed,
You want to prevail in this life.

Let go of your desires
Seek the kingdom
And then you'll find,
Many of the answers
To questions you often hide.

Giving you the courage
to Liberate yourself,
From society's mind.

Remember,

The Father is able to do all things and more 

But we must be obedient 

Diligent and humble...
We MUST listen to HIS voice.

Newness (Original Poetry)

Fighting everything I see

Battling against pleasures

Other people push on me

Never knew it was really wrong

Guess I never really cared

To busy enjoying all the pleasures

Over here and over there

Nevertheless

I still felt empty

Like a glass, far from full

I felt like an old autumn leaf

Barely hanging to a tree

Getting beaten by the cold, cold wind

Then my life changed

I started to breathe again,

The newness started to take its shape

I stop worrying about what they were doing

And what they might have heard, thought, or said

Now, I’m living my life for someone else

I have a new focus, in front of me

I’m not worried about the repercussions…

No.

I’m not worried about any repercussions I may receive.

I only want to please one person

A dear, dear Friend of mine

Someone I think very highly of

‘Cause when I was that leaf

Barely hanging to that tree

He was the only one...

Willing to catch, me

My Journey...(Original Poetry)

My Journey

The lies they told

Foolishly, I believed

Giving my heart to the leaders

Yes, I wore my heart on my sleeve.

I was looking for the truth

Unknowingly, I was pushed farther away

Thinking my behavior would give him praise.

They twisted his words,

Trying their hardest to lead me astray

Now the curse has been lifted

And their works are plain as day

My eyes are open

Yes, he has allowed me to see.

The way I was in the past

Is not what He wants from me

His laws still stand,

Why’d one ever think they’d leave?

After he opened my eyes, His Word

began really speaking to me

It was not automatic, no

It did not happen overnight.

It took time and diligence

(I wanted to make sure that I was right)

Now, I have clearer understanding

 In the words that I read

The meaning is undeniable, it does not confuse me.

With this newness of mind

My transformation is complete

What I once was before is now obsolete.

I’ve discovered who I truly am

I’ve found my way in life

Every day I strive to be better

And a reflection of his light.
