Release yourself from haughty thoughts,

since God’s foolishness is wiser than you;

His wisdom and knowledge transcends time,

unlike the limitations of the Human view.

Release yourself from worries and concerns,

for He has promised to meet your every need;

reap benefits from the gifting that He placed

within your implantation of spiritual seed.

Release yourself now from your earthly cares;

honor Him with your time, tithes and talent!

Test…

Know that your brokenness can be healed

and that your wholeness can be restored.

Reaffirm your divine covenant today,

by completely trusting upon the Lord!

Seek a vital relationship with God now;

be thankful for His daily grace and mercy.

Realize and understand His intentions for you;

Open your eyes and observe what He sees…

regarding His plans, already laid out;

through prayer, request spiritual guidance.

Recognize your heavenly position…

One sure way to escape sin’s perdition

is to be not trapped by human tradition

that hinders the outpour of God’s spirit,

when searching for one’s heavenly lift.

For sheer knowledge of religious minds

can impede the heart flow of the Divine.

For the truest Love require action of us,

besides Faith’s development in Whom we trust.

A genuine journey of spiritual relationship

comes from Christ’s sacrifice and friendship,

when we completely…

A new search is ongoing,

with Israeli chemists on a trek;

they seek find the color of God,

which was formerly called tekhelet.

Is its significance a harbinger

of future Messianic times?

Can the rabbis or scientists

decipher this dividing line?

It’s an enigmatic shade of blue

that represents God’s infinity

caught between the color spectrum

of visible light and invisibility.

Some experts believe the source,

(though the…

O my Lord, help me with my request:

Set up Your permanent altar in my life.

Form the foundation of this altar,

with the unhewn rock of my stony heart,

since it represents the many hardships

of lack-luster, life experiences.

Organize these mundane rock fragments,

in a manner that is pleasing to You.

With this personal and secret platform,

I desire to commune with Thee frequently,

for it’s not for religious show or ceremony.

For my heart…

It’s a fresh morning of new mercies;

raise your hands in a moment of praise!

Do you recall that you’re in covenant

and covered with the blessings of today?

Spend some quiet and quality time with God;

speak genuinely and offer earnest prayers.

Lift up your concerns and needs of others;

demonstrate faith… by words you declare!

Celebrate the faithful witness of Christ;

open your spirit; pour out your soul to Him.

Find strength as you rejoice…

With my Lord, there isn’t an aint -

He’s not bound by human constraint!

With my Lord, my heart won’t feint,

even though… I’m not a sinless saint!

His continuous waves of love

echo throughout eternity,

with designed blessings that…

overtake both you and me!

My Lord sealed The Covenant

and His Kingdom is infinite!

His provisions are endless

and His Grace is measureless!

His continuous waves of love

echo throughout…

My desire is to be reflective

of the divine perspective

that highly exalts only Him,

throughout my being and my limbs.

A revelation of Christ’s Truth

is that He’s my fountain of youth.

I’m grafted into His true vine

that overflows with spiritual wine.

For more of Him and less of me

is the way that it needs to be;

O my Lord, please…

allow my faith to be fully employed,

whereby my ego is……

With daily renewing of the mind,

one is bound to learn and find

ideas for personal resolutions

that lead to a Kingdom solution.

Having Godly ideals and attitudes,

is more than possessing platitudes.

It’s about one’s choices and lifestyle

that leads to a life being worthwhile.

To be a true child of God,

one must have His Love shed abroad

and present in one’s actions

to obtain spiritual satisfaction.

For faith is not about…

Although we’re flawed,

as both sinner and saint,

we must learn to live

within Godly constraints.

Rain continues to fall -

both on the just and unjust;

faith requires maturation;

upon our Lord, we must trust.

We can cry out and praise Him

with supplications and our joy!

We are filled with confidence,

knowing we’re His girls and boys!

We can always rely on our Christ,

in all times and at every place.

Allow His peace…

Must we compete in spiritual matches,

against unseen, devilish competitors?

Must we needlessly suffer and find…

our souls ending up both worn and sore?

Within this fallen, earthly world,

the rulers of darkness don’t worry me;

for I know that their authority

is incapable of imprisoning completely.

Their ongoing tactics of fear,

is something that I’ve already seen.

So I’m not concerned, knowing…

that I’m a member of the Kingdom…

Living within the house of idol makers,

the depth of my soul was perturbed.

How could one justify the worship of art?

To me, such comprehension was absurd.

And yet, it was still clear to me,

that worship was a necessary component;

so I craved a logical and moral way

to circumvent my spiritual descent.

Knocking over these impractical statues,

made from gold and various materials,

demonstrated glorification of dead objects

was…

Even now, my precious Lord,

I’m fully aware of the spiritual bleed

emanating from the wounds of my heart;

despite the ongoing pain, I’ve experienced

that genuine explosion of Your holy seed…

which was planted within the frailty

of this tear-filled, human existence.

Your timeless waves of abundance continue

to inundate the morning cries of sorrow

and to overwhelm my life’s resistance.

The fabric of my heart has been ripped;

from this…

Long ago my Lord, I desired…

to share myself with You completely.

Under Your everlasting covenant,

You etched Your message of Love

upon my open and tender heart.

Now I radiate with joy and knowledge

from having Your Principles imprinted

on my life and mind’s thinking.

As I’m steadfast on Your firm foundation,

continue to enhance our relationship.

Cleanse me from the impurities that stain,

as You have previously promised.

Show me how to find and…

Real Truth is still being sought out,

in this ever growing Age of Information;

the rise of social media has added

to the noise against spiritual institutions.

Unfortunately, ungodly behaviors continue to play out

within our society, neighborhoods and church pulpits.

We Christians must wholeheartedly repent now,

before His divine Grace, we unwittingly forfeit.

Sacred texts attest to God’s existence by faith,

while Science can only prove Him via…

Do you know what you’re doing?

Search your heart’s motivation.

What is it, that keeps you going?

Are there… corresponding actions?

Refrain from frenetic, frantic busyness,

for now is the time for quiet waiting;

stop the phony acts of supposed holiness;

discontinue the false, religious debating.

Endeavors taken are still your choice.

Can your actions stand before God’s pop quiz?

Are you listening solely to His voice?

Is the plan you’re…

Help me Lord to focus solely on Thee!

Issues and challenges of Life come and go,

defining me with my soul’s scarred essence.

Yet I remain, beneath Your heavenly flow!

Allow Your Presence to wash over me,

removing all evidence of sins’ stains.

Continue breaking the ungodly links of…

the remnant of shackling, prisoner chains.

Open my eyes fully that I may see

the way You view me within Your Kingdom.

Let this divine, flooding confidence

gird me…

Have you envisioned

     our Lord upon The Cross?

Have you seen

     those considered lost?

Did you notice

     the absence of Grace?

Did you observe

     tears staining His face?

Can you imagine

     the agony of His pain?

Have you accepted the Gift

     of the Lamb that was slain?

On that day of crucifixion

     Love was brokenhearted

and divine reconciliation

     was quietly started.

Christ mourned the…

O Lord, I have purposed in my spirit

to sing of Your greatness and mercy!

Before You I humbly bow and kneel;

with my tongue, I exalt only Thee!

The enemy constantly surrounds me;

my joy they look to slyly steal.

You are my Maker and I’m the clay,

previously molded upon Thy Potter’s wheel.

Since Your words drip from my heart,

no longer can I remain silent.

Use me to write this poetry, filled…

with messages that are “heaven…

O my Lord, my eyes are fixed on you;

nothing else matters or blocks my view.

I’ve purposed to set my heart on Thee,

knowing that You have a vision for me.

Remove these silly, earthly distractions

that interfere with our intimate connection.

I’ve been released from shadows of anonymity;

my future is certain, bound solely by Thee.

My desired has been renewed with holy fire;

teach me even more, before my life transpires.

You continue to sustain…
