How will I be perceived,
after my passing? Will
dissections of my soul
be realized from the…
poetry I leave behind?
Will anyone really care?
Can my experiences… be
defined separately from
Faith’s spiritual Light?
Will I be imagined to be
a fraud, with regard to
the principles of God?
By the time I’m noticed,
by those intentionally
choosing to rightly evaluate
my literary worth, their
opinions are a moot point
to my current existence.
After all, my personal bias
show be evident within my
compositions; perhaps, when
I bowed before my Maker, I’ll
know the real truth of myself.
Before Him, it won’t matter,
since I’m still loved.

The waves of new revelation
are softly overflowing me,
when I’m desiring to see…
myself as part of a nation
that’s birthed for eternity.
Faith allows me to envision
my future with His precision,
through experiential reality.
As my spirit flies and soars,
I’m drawn closer to Him; words
of His truth, keep me stirred
to discover God’s open doors
and His reality of Salvation.

Mankind’s genuine Life is found
in the blood, not in the heart,
nor in the mind; the guilt of sin
leads all to Death. As His blood
ran down onto Golgotha’s ground,
The Lamb’s atonement was released
and in that moment, we were bound
to Yahweh by the “Scarlet Thread”
of Christ’s Love for us. With Him
serving as Humanity’s High Priest,
Salvation requires us to partake
in His sacrifice, via acceptance
of His gift in the recognition of
our guilt from sin; this allows
The Father to properly adjudicate
and satisfy His requirements for
justice and His desire for mercy.
And now forgiveness is available
to all; Christ remains patient,
as He knocks on our heart’s door
while offering God’s free gift of
eternal Life and everlasting Love.

O Lord, once again, I have made a
conscious decision to set aside…
my ego and earthly plans to spend
quality time with You; as I strive
against the nonsense, troubling my
heart, allow your Holy Spirit to
cascade as a waterfall upon this
flesh, with the freshness of a new
dew that joyfully enhances my world
in unexpected ways. Overwhelm my soul
with an outpouring of Your Essence,
whereby the inward, God-shaped hole
in my heart is… filled by You alone!
On this path for me, I’ll freely roam
in search of songs and poetic verses
that lead me towards my Heavenly home.

Although both literary academia
and the Biblical scholars have
largely ignored my poetry, I’m
not worried, nor concerned; it
could be an outward indication
of their sad, spiritual anemia.
In order for Faith to be present,
an acceptance of Christ must be
evident within one’s life; critics
will always have their opinions.
Perhaps their ongoing silence is…
a sign of unacknowledged consent.

Knowing that I’m loved by God,
it’s easier to dismiss fears;
I’m no longer dismayed by the
onslaught of troubles; years
of doubt are behind me, since
it’s clear that I’m upheld… by
the righteous hand of Yahweh.
My trust is in Him and I rely
on His many promises; His Word
watered the spiritual seeds,
that He had planted within me;
and now, this poetic bleed
of Faith is expressed, as I…
share my devotion for Adonai!

Too many people are fearful, regarding
contact with The Divine; they realize
that they will be transformed by God,
but unrelentingly remain unwilling…
to make a commitment to His Kingdom.
Being identified as a Christian, grips
them with apprehension; the idea of
ridicule pierces their soul; wisdom
from God currently evades them, since
a deficiency of Faith constrains them;
with the presence of the Holy Spirit,
one is empowered to properly evince
God’s Truth for successful living.
We’re made to stand out; holy fire
within us illuminates God’s Love at
work in us with humble thanksgiving.

Yahweh understands the irony
surrounding us; though we’re
unneeded, but wanted by Him…
shows our ignorance; to see
Him as He is, would exceed our
current level of comprehension.
And yet, we have opportunities
to truly savor His divine power.
When will our pathetic attitudes,
towards Him and others change,
given Salvation’s promise, that’s
the result of the Great Exchange?

The irony is that while God doesn’t need
us, but still wants us, we desperately
need God, but don’t really want Him most
of the time. ―Francis Chan

Between circular arguments
and confirmation bias, critics
debate the fallacies of Faith,
themselves unable to connect
to Yahweh via the divine spark
that has drawn us closer to Him;
each individual has been given
a unique measure of Faith; yet,
desire dictates the development
of our personal growth in Christ.
The Scriptures remain available
to those wishing to receive the
fullness of God’s Love or those
wanting to dispute His authority.
Now people choose to search only
for information that support…
their preconceptions; after all,
we’ve the choice of Death or Life.

It should be noted that many people studied The Word of God with the
original intent of disproving its many truths, only to become saved to
their own surprise. A fact that is ignored by the mainstream media.

If you’re not being stretched,
then could it be that you’re…
suffering an ungodly attitude
of your own Life’s complacency?
When looking around, do you see
the discrimination, intolerance,
injustice, hatred, poverty and
other societal ills affecting us?
Is God’s Love evident in actions
of everyday living, so Salvation
is really sought, by those, you…
hope to spiritually influence?
Can others even tell, that Christ’s
essence, upon your life has been…
sacredly and divinely etched?
