Holiness Throughout

Standing,

Humbled by the brilliance of creation beyond myself

Astounded at how magnificently, and flawlessly He crafted this world through His mere breath,

Absolute verity and peace are affirmed in His Holiness

Rectifying my soul

In the pits of our hearts and the shallow hideouts of our fear He stands,

Impermeable,

Imperishable,

Immutable!

His presence Imperative, in its entirety, to the existence of our blessed lives

Lives we abandon for sin backed by empty rhetoric of justification

Immovable,

Indestructible,

Undeniable is the Holiness of The Creator

We see His grace in the suns illuminate power and radiance

Lighting our path

We feel His forgiveness in the dark corners of what we think is a life hidden from the Father.

Impermeable,

Imperishable,

Immutable is the King!

An entity of Holiness Throughout

True Reprieve

We've spent years defending our selfish views and postulations of right and wrong

Years hiding in our pride out of fear that we may be exposed

Years in abandonment

We've given everything, to become anything, except for who we are

Given our souls in hopes of acceptance

Given our faith in exchange for an empty reliance on man

We've cursed in the face of God

We've spit at the feet of the cross

We've found satisfaction and reprieve within our pride

A pride that hides us from the loving high of the Lords embrace

A pride that crushes and abandons those we hold near to our hearts

A pride that rules our faith

A pride that rules our walk

Our minds,

Our hearts,

Our souls,

We've spent years trying to restructure our lives with these imperfect hands

Years in the dark

Years in abandonment

"Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, you who do what he commands.

Seek righteousness, seek humility;

Perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the LORD's anger."

(Zephaniah 2:3)

The Questions

What awaits me?
What draws my soul toward this benevolent truth?

A heart, twisted and torn,
Crying out in udder dissilience,
Searching…

Can this barren wasteland within be the pinnacle of my life?
I refuse to agree, I refuse to accept this notion of empty salvation that has been fed to me.
Looking forward, anticipating what’s to come, this inspires the movement of MY feet,
And the delectation that follows a life of humbly and devoutly kneeling in praise and utter shame, will lift and dissipate my iniquities.

What awaits me?
What draws my soul toward this peace from blessed righteousness?

A Father, sovereign and omnipotent,
Crying out in love for the souls of his children,
Forgiving…

A fortress of grace and love that engulfs my every tormenting perplexity.
He chose the path to be wandered.
I can not, will not walk in opposition.
A love that is never ending, never judging, never failing.
A love that is always true, always saving, always sacrificing, and always persevering.
This love overwhelms my soul, fighting to become the forefront of my essence.

What awaits me?
What draws forth my love?

A faith that gives peace
A faith that reassures
A faith that moves mountains
A faith that conquers all

This I await, for this I seek, for this I am drawn.
For this, I will walk through the valley of the shadow of death

And evil will fear my God.

What's The Point?

Basically I have this extreme desire to share my writings. I have always wanted to be a tool in the Lords outreach to others, and now I feel that he has allowed me a method by which I can be of some service. I have been writing for probably around two years (poetry that is), and i really want to see what people think. I have a small stockpile of poetry that i have written and i figure i will post them now and then to maybe get some feedback. My hope is that God will in some way use my poetry to reach whoever may be reading this.

I have always felt that poetry must be real. It must be emotion and feeling that can only be described in a way that digs deep at the parts of us that sometimes we refuse to see, or allow to be seen. We are all sinners and all children of God. So it's my belief that sharing our struggles is a much more productive way of dealing with them, and allows us to feel comfortable enough to take them to God in faith and repentance. There is no part of my life that God does not know, and it's not because I am always open and honest enough to share it with him. But when we bring our struggles to Christ and we lay our lives in HIS hands it is astonishing what changes he can bring, and what relief he has to offer.

So i hope you all enjoy my writings, and if you don't feel free to say so.
