If God’s word is
properly understood,
it’ll hit you
like a ton of bricks
and have you repenting.
You’ll end up
begging for more discipline.
Paralysis
Blank stare.
Out of focus.
Blurred lines.
Moving scenes.
Standing still.
Almost frozen.
Helplessly watching.
Screaming inside.
Secrets No Longer
Lies and truth
ripped a part.
No longer entangled
into one big mess.
My secrets,
now into the light.
My story,
meant to help someone else.
This revelation
is bigger than
what’s hiding in my closet.
Closet Bones
Worrying to death.
Story of my life.
About what everyone will think;
there are things about my past
that is about to be revealed.
God says “let them”.
Their closets are full of bones, too.
Copycat
I used to spend time
chasing after
someone else’s dream.
Whenever I copied
their lifestyle,
I would get
this temporary high;
it felt good to live
“in the heat of the moment”.
I wanted
the nice things they had.
I called it “living”.
I wanted to
“keep up with the Jonses”
but they were always ahead.
Believe me, I tried.
And I cried.
And I tried again and again.
Their blessings
I could not claim
as my own.
Well-Deserving Vengeance
Looking back
used to be
my real cup of tea.
It used to
taste better
than the first time
around, or so I thought.
All fine and dandy;
happy galore,
then
The pain I had buried deep;
tucked away neatly inside,
would rehash with a
well-deserving vengeance.
The Expert
Lack of self-confidence,
I’m an expert in that field.
Many powerful opportunities
were bypassed when
my wimpy fear moved in.
I wanted victory
but did not know how
to claim it.
Defeat became
my default cover story.
Kneeled Down
When you fall,
rest on your knees.
God will gladly help you up.
Drooling
There you go again,
looking in
on someone else’s idea
of life & living
and drooling at
the possibilities
of what you think
you might know
about how they got
to their destination
of comfort.
Climb Higher
Climb higher,
don’t let life
drag you down.
Adjust your aim.
Trust God
as you seek
higher ground.
Breakthrough
My breakthrough is coming.
It is right around the corner.
I will trust God
for great and mighty things.
I Need God
When I worry,
I do not trust God.
Whenever I take things
into my own hands,
I am telling Him
that I don’t need Him.
But, I really do.
