Are we not to be the…
faint illumination of
Christ, reflecting Him
with actions of Love?
As terrestrial beings,
we’re continually mired
by an encasement of clay;
can our Faith be fired
up by our relationship to
our eternal Lord and Savior?
Fake Christianity will be
revealed in poor behaviors
that can be recognized by
anyone; as human candles,
Faith can shine brightly.
Avoiding personal scandals
is achievable, when we’re
purposed to live as Christ.
After all, no one else can
provide… everlasting Life!

We can trust an omniscient God,
with our unknown future, since
He transcends… Time’s boundary.
Though we remain humanly flawed,
we can possess a real Faith in
One, Who doesn’t lie, deceive or
tries to manipulate us. By using
our breath, we maintain within
us, the ability to reach Him and
soften His heart with our words;
as we pray, with an attitude of
repentance, inevitably we’ve hands
that are raised in total surrender.

A poor perception of Christianity
is the ongoing failure of the Faith
to treat all people evenly within…
a circle of inclusion; who will see
past the shortcomings of humanity,
in order to spiritually grow? Ideas
of our accountability, accompanied
by genuine, personal responsibility
dictate that we treat every soul
in the same manner of Love, without
thoughts of the trivial attributes
that separate us; under the control
of God’s Kingdom, we remain equals.
Since we’re supposed to serve one
another, shouldn’t we help everyone
with a mandate to perform God’s will?

Like me, even that shining moon
occasionally weeps, as we spend
time remembering you; moments
of nostalgia creep into our times
of dreams and wistful thinking.
And yet, there is a vast emptiness
that stirs our spirits.
We sorrowful souls, sob throughout
the night; the coldness of dawn
crystallizes our tears into
the morning dew and its beauty
encourages us… to cry even more.
How can we bear the loss of you?
The arid ground, greedily absorbs
our sadness without visible remorse.
Forgotten and lifeless cobwebs,
with their torn threads, now adorn
the empty landscape that marks
the boundaries of our separation.
Your absence is deafening; the moon
and I discuss ideas about the taste
of your salty tears, that you shed
from mourning our shattered union.
However, the moon remains unerringly
quiet, regarding the time, you two,
spend together! And I’m left with an
impression of unresolved jealousy.
Will you two… silently lament the
isolation of our three aching hearts?
Oh wait; why are there distant sounds
of laughter, reverberating under this
new moon, while these tears of mine,
resume its unwanted flow?

God is aware of the ugliness
of our sin; not confessing to
Him, ensures that misery will
replace our joy; seriousness
of the Human condition should
not be an excuse that keeps us
from reaching out to Him in a
prayer of repentance. Could
we allow… known imperfections
to define us, when forgiveness
is readily available? How can
we choose to dismiss Salvation
when we possess His holy breath
and the chance to escape Death?

When will Humanity shed…
his blinders of ignorance?
Salvation can’t be found…
outside of Christ’s death
and glorious resurrection.
Can our inherit arrogance,
which is questionably based
on the accumulation of data
that’s carefully culled, be
worth a future without God?
Nothing we claim, stops Him
from being the Alpha & Omega.

We need to stop setting goals
and personal standards, based…
on the foolishness of our fears;
Human expectations, dumb notions
and the fickleness of desire is
no way to live. Measuring years
by our accomplishments is silly;
someone in the future will either
outdo us or destroy our efforts.
Can we create a meaningful legacy
that touches lives with God’s Love
or even move beyond… self-comfort?

The words of empty rhetoric,
don’t impress the unsaved;
Love requires real actions
of Faith; one day, a grave
will contain soiled remnants
of how, we were perceived;
the memories others recall,
are what they often received-
by the witness of our lives.
Before men, we’re justified
through our works of Love;
yet, it’s Christ crucified…
that serves as the impetus
behind our true motivations;
He’s the standard for living
and grace against damnation
of our eternal souls.

Loving people, without agendas
of hidden motives, is what God
desires from us; if we’re not
authentic, then we are frauds
who lack value… to His Kingdom.
Without the pureness of a heart,
that’s inclined towards Him, we
have nothing tangible to impart
to those, who fail to discover…
their sacred identities found in
Christ, a Savior, Who loves them.
Within Humanity, we’re children
who need to teach others… about
the divine connection and scarlet
thread that binds us together;
we’re a bride and not some harlot
selling herself, to gain attention
for the merits of His Salvation.

As long as we choose to move forward,
we can find the inward strength to…
hold onto our Hope; pain ends, when
we look to Christ and His Love for us.
Therefore, let’s adjust our backward
thinking, by cleansing our thoughts
with the beauty of His Holy Word; as
we begin to trust Him and apply Truth
to our lives, positive results occur.
Are we gambling, rashly casting lots
for ungodly outcomes to succeed, based
on Worldly methodologies? Can we learn
to be patient and rightly divine God’s
Word? What will it take us to remain,
in His sight… pure, holy and chaste?
