I’m new to this community. I have more questions that answers, which is a wonderful place to be after many years of ”knowing it all”.
Some poetry for the poets amongst us!
Today,
I see this grace afresh,
His choice is to live in me,
Is not this the greatest gift?
That to this broken, cracked, imperfect shell
He comes, and fills, and makes me whole
He stoops low, but sees nothing less than joy
In pouring all He is in me.
Ahh grace! The God of ALL
Wants nothing more
Than to live as me.
If this act of absolute devotion and surrender
is not grace defined,
Then…
nothing is.
 
I hear his cry-
“I choose you”
Resounding in eternity
And I am now
A chosen one

forever free.

Poem: Silent Words Are Useless

I’ve got my opinions as any other;
Hopefully, I’ll be clear and you’ll understand
that our silent words are useless -
For the trees will willingly clap their hands.

The one true God spoke into existence
the birds, fishes, plants, mammals, Earth
and all forms of life including…
Humble beginnings of Mankind’s birth.

The sound of our individual voices
is something that God covets and enjoys;
He wants our unadulterated praise verbalized
with heartfelt, cheerful, and celebratory noise.

Our real outward expressions of faith
for acknowledging His holy ways
can only be accomplished via…
Sincere, loving and audible praise.

So open your mouth during Church worship
and praise Him without doubt!
For your silent words are useless -
Causing even the rocks… to cry out.

Poem: Giving Tithes to God

Revelations of the heart
regarding how one’s money is spent
echoes volumes about character
and our God-given talents.

For Jehovah is far from being poor;
He owns the cattle on a thousand hills.
He’s not into ungodly extortion
to keep you from paying your bills.

By serving two masters,
one will be dearly loved – the other sorely hated;
so one can never be truly happy
until settling the God and Mammon debate.

The wealth of God lies in His Word.
His principle of tithing is a mechanism
to pour out financial blessings upon us.
Therefore, purge your mindset of secularism.

Jehovah desires our faithfulness
to fulfill our ministry to the Earth.
We won’t be judged on our daily income -
Know that money can never define… Our true worth.

Author Notes:

FYI – Mammon is the church term for the ”God of money”.

Poem: Moments of Clarity

Oh, how I desire more
of Your Light’s essence,
to clearly penetrate
the core of my being.

How much can I endure
without Your Presence?
Though I may be frustrated,
it’s You Lord, I’m believing.

It’s been said before,
in Your Word’s eloquence -
”nothing new” has been stated
and it agrees with what I’m seeing.

Moments of clarity, at the door
of Your Kingdom’s brilliance,
are revelations of my faith’s fate,
found under Your grace and loving… kindness.

Poem: On God’s Mountain

To be on your mountain top
with an elevated view,
could my chances increase
for getting a glimpse of You?

Standing barefoot in your presence
before a burning bush consumed,
would your glory envelop me
as a spiritual womb?

Moses saw your backside,
but show me instead your face and eyes.
Having direct interaction with you
should cause my faith to be revised.

Conquering obstacles of Life
via a mountainous climb,
while developing a personal relationship
help makes the upward trek sublime.
