UNDERSTANDING -2/4

 

 

The sun rises with bold and subtle colors painting the sky in beauty

Eyes are fixed, pleasure wraps about the mind, the soul

Simple things, as ocean waves wash the shorelines;

A weak, yet sincere prayer spoken in humility

Was listened to, heard by the One God above all who cares

Far beyond me, but closer today somehow,

As a search begun

Easy, plain Scriptures to daily read

At first over and over like a novel

Then more precisely as guided,

A pattern of heart prayers spoken

Always “talking to God” in honesty.

His Son truly known to be “the Key”

Certainly the “Door to Heaven” to enter,

The “Gate to the Kingdom” He shared often those years He walked the Earth;

And the entire Creation along with the earth shaken!

New life sprouted in Israel

A powerful Vine spread into the nations, all the tribes,

A seed planted taken root deeply

And now the same in me, a good seed taken root

Work done by Divine hands, joined to the One Messiah,

My prayers often- to grow and to bear much fruit in his honor.

 

 

“Do not love the world or anything in the world.  If anyone loves the world the love of the Father is not in him.  For everything in the world- the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and his pride in possessions does not come from the Father but from the world.  The world and its desires pass away, but the man (woman) who does the will of God lives forever.”   1John2:15-17

 

 

CONFUSION

CONFUSION

 

Like a thin cloud settles down upon you

Or a loose garment of clothing that unravels from your body

And suddenly the mind and will weaken

Distracted, even scattered about;

Anxiety, fear and anger, raw competition

The fruit of this world-

When to pick it

How and where

By your self or with help

Ripened on the vine or branch, or off;

Lots of people come and go

Many different things written or spoken

All directions pointed to

Thoughts only become more twisted

So many words just fall to the ground,

Very little remembered!

Eyes close at last

Tired hands cover the ears

The head turns upwards in surrender,

All seems lost, nothing found;

Then, a tiny “sparkle” appears

Nearly as a star

Far beyond the moon,

And the small light begins to grow

The hearts awakens a little

And seeks to draw closer

As this new light becomes brighter, much brighter

Something calms the soul within

Quiets the mind, clears the thoughts

And this Light only grows into a new path seen

Leads to a “narrow road” discovered

Comes at last to a Gate of Humility;

Another one gladly bows

And enters fully within the Shepherd’s arms.

HIS GREATNESS

HIS GREATNESS

To begin to look upon His Greatness

While the Kingdom of Light waits patiently,

The “Messianic Kingdom Prayer”- pure desire and holy longing,

Our Rock of all confidence

Majestic Light of Glory

Revelation of abundant Life in Him alone;

Oh, to look upon His Greatness in humility,

One creature before his Creator

An object of mercy before the King.

Another “woman at the well” given the Spirit of Grace

Just as Adam and Eve saved from the very beginning

Pulled from the fires of justice

Rescued, lifted high above common human frailty

Carried gently in the Spirit winds of love

Brought before the Throne of grace and mercy.

Fallen men and fallen women

Saved from inherited weaknesses,

Empowered, saved from all lies and deception, from self and Lucifer

Kept by God for Himself;

The impossible made possible

For all generations that follow

Miracle authority of redemption foreknown

Then lived out on earth

As angels bowed in sorrow,

Knelt in anguish before the Father’s Throne.

Their Lord in human form,

The eternal sacrifice of love

As a baby, as a child, a youth who grew in favor

A man in practical work, as a carpenter, eldest brother

A man who stood tall in complete faithfulness and responsibility.

Though once lifted on a Roman Cross,

Carried high above by His Holy Spirit’s Words of His Father!

Approachable greatness revealed

In Truth of humility and obedience,

The same for all

So that we too can look upon our Messiah’s Majestic Greatness.

PRISONER OF LOVE

PRISONER  OF  LOVE

A prisoner of the Lord

Fully in His love

His freedom and eternal peace

His goodness as brightest clothing

Whitest white draped and wrapped about

Etched in gold

Embroidered with pure silver

A single jewel in a crown of holiness joyfully worn.

As a clay chalice is lifted to the lips in humility

Eternal red wine is drank

The depth of covenant commitment is shown,

And the unbroken bond, the Church, the Body of Messiah

The miraculous “oneness”

Eternal union with our God is beautifully revealed,

The King of Jewish Israel

All true believers, true disciples of His Kingdom

Separated as “sheep from goats”

Embraced in the caring Father’s heart,

New mysteries as treasures discovered

An endless experience fully lived out

Tasted and clearly heard and seen,

Hand in hand, abundance from the place called “Heaven”

The Kingdom Throne of His love,

Eternal home of our love.

RIVER

RIVER

Oh, Gift of Life,

How beautiful in purity

How lovely in Majesty

Eternal Wisdom radiant in the blazing eyes;

Yes, Savior, in power and greatest authority

In most tender, gentle goodness

Kindness in purest Spirit flow from Heaven’s Throne

River of the water of life

Crystal clear waters flow down the great street of New Jerusalem.

Much like the branches from the royal Tree of Life

That spread far and wide

Bearing the richest fruit in abundance

Continually renewed month by month

Day by day without end.

How wonderful to reach out and touch this splendor

Water as liquid jewels pour forth through hands and fingers

And the fruit that hangs heavy,

The taste of the exquisite delicacy

Beauty of all life, all Creation,

Eternal life freely given!

Because the nations had drunk their fill of evil

Emptying their cups of wickedness to the last drop

Choking it down greedily

Till their bellies burst,

Justice from the King of Glory followed in righteousness

And His Earth was swept clean

Every body of water purely filtered

The sea of all nations purified

All air around and above like the fragrance and aroma of Heaven;

Only the eternal beauty

Only the work of His hands

Truly forever remains.
