Simple faith and loving friendship are what I have written about thus far in this newsletter. There are a few poems of mine that speak to those themes and here they are:
Community
Christ in you, Christ in me
This is what it means to be a true community
Christ in you, Christ in me
This is what God desires, His earthly Trinity
Your heart beating next to mine,
My heart beating next to yours
And at the center, there is God
In our midst
Christ in you, Christ in me
This is what it means to be a true community
Christ in you, Christ in me
This is what God desires, His earthly Trinity
For there are loads we cannot carry alone
Never were meant to be on our own
But side by side,
Let me carry you,
And when I’m tired
You’ll carry me too.
And we can’t carry on
That’s when we’ll look to God
And find He’s been with us all along
Christ in you, Christ in me
This is what it means to be a true community
Christ in you, Christ in me
This is what God desires, His earthly Trinity
This road of life is long and narrow
With much toil and real sorrow
Yet hold to me,
As I hold to you,
And we will grow in His embrace
LoungeDivine (Unfinished)
Friends to be real with
Children to enjoy
A place to watch movies
And to think of spiritual things
A place to explore God and His People
Free from expectation or
Fear of reproach
A place of understanding
A place of growth
A place where the bones of my doubt
Can be enfleshed with renewed faith
A place of love
A place of acceptance
A place to be honest about my life with God
And know I will be encouraged in His Strength
The Truth
You know the truth,
It’s been in you,
Since time began.
You just did not see,
What really could be.
Look inside you,
Deep inside,
Look to your heart.
Then He will guide you.
To the truth.
Life
What is life?
Is it love?
or something different.
Must we look,
All our lives,
Just for true life?
Or is it simple?
Standing right before us,
With it’s arms outstretched.
Can it really be that simple?
Yes, it is!!
Once more I come to the end of this newsletter feeling I have shared a lot and thankful for you who have read this far and continue to follow God with me on this journey we walk together. Even though we are miles apart, when we pray to God and share with Him our hearts, He draws us closer to each other as He draws us close to Him. Take time to enjoy fellowship with those you love this week. It is within that love that we get a glimpse of God, and this side of His Kingdom, that is the best picture we have!
