O delight of mine
My happiness brims joy
But my heart, Our Heart
Is heavy with sorrow
Tag: Joy
Waiting
I could rent a car or drive my own
Hitch a ride or take a flight
Ride a bike to make things easy
But I would rather walk a long way
Maybe it would take forty days
I suppose the question at this point is
Would it be better to take time or to give it?
Incredible
I made the mistake once
Where I put myself first
Before I entered His Heart
Never again will I ever
While I quickly realized what I had done
I called on Him for Mercy
Oh that Holy Fear came over me
With a repentant heart I gave
One glance is all it took
And a scourge at the pillar to remember
That without Him during His Reign
We are bound to that Cross
Until the thousand years were ended
He knew I was not testing Him
Nor did did He leave me abandoned
Though my Heart gave way at the mere notion
Which Satan neatly planted whilst I was being scourged
Mercy Jesus offers me, again and again
But that look He gave
Sternly He warned
But in a flash just as fast as it came
He flipped me around and pointed to His Heart
And asked Me, “Will you let me guide you the way?”
I said, “”Of course sir, you know I am blind.”
He replied, “I can tell. Do you want me to heal you?”
I thought about it for a moment and said
“I can see you just fine
Why would I want to see what is out there?”
“To Witness,” He spoke with a Breath of Fire
And gave me a Cup of Water to drink
Thus He Spoke in that Fire and stirred in His Blood
“I shall never die
And neither shall you
For you are bound to me
And I to you”
And I experienced before the Face of God
Humility, and the Humility of the Cross
Most who cannot imagine
Is I embrace that with great Joy
The Gifts He gave
And the Love I was privy to give
So far, I have truly Witnessed
Only Miracles in the Name of the Lord
I do not scoff the disbeliever
For them, I can only pray
So bring on your Fire and Water, Lord
Let the Waters of Baptism in the Name of our Lord
And the Fire of the Spirit of Pentecost
Breathe in Each Other Hallelujah
Such that what comes New
But has also been foretold and foreseen
By His Spirit is this True Glory
That this new Element
Where the Water calms the Fire
And the Fire stirs the Waters
And out comes New Life
That is what happens every time
A new life in the womb is conceived
Amen
In The Kitchen
I stood in the kitchen
It was a rainy day
I made bread with my hands
Made it with love
There was enough for you..
I heard a horn honk outside
I knew it was you
With your cap on your head
Was not until I saw
You bolt as soon as I went
To the window
You did not tell me you were coming over…
Listen to your heart
There is nothing wrong
With knocking at the door
It is you who are playing a game
I know it frustrates you
It is a game I do not play
It matters not, see
For peace will reign
Let us bring it on
Love loves you.. why not?
Inspiration
A quote, from one of my favourite saints… relevance to today is astounding, love one another people, love one another…
—
You know well enough that our Lord does not look so much at the greatness of our actions, nor even at their difficulty, but at the love with which we do them.
–Saint Therese of Lisieux
Curiosity
No Longer Me
Why should anyone listen to me?
I’m one of the worst
A wretch in God’s eyes..
Perhaps if you understood
Despite my sins, I have been raised
So I’ll drum up warnings and odes
And fan the sparks into flames
With the breath of the Spirit of the Lord
I am no longer me
I am perfectly empty
To let God reign
And I’m crazy for dying every day
So forgive me if I am crude
Indeed that is what it takes
How to
Want Nature to stop?
Repent
But you don’t
So she won’t
Startled
I startled awake
Wide awake
In the early morning night
Darkness was there
So was the light
In my heart
My heart I felt beating
Then it stopped
I recall thinking
Finally
But then my Angel came
She always does
Forced it to start again
It beat so hard it hurt
Like a lance was stuck inside
I breathed and sighed
Cause I wanted her to
For You
Very difficult times lay ahead
The Holy Spirit of our Lord
If you have not yet noticed already
Is moving deeply and powerfully
Throughout all His faithful in love
Those who truly love, adore, and believe
I say to you
Believe
Now, We shall breathe His Fire
Set the world on Fire, oh yes
For the love that tastes blood
For the sake of the lost
By His Grace have no fear
For We do not shed blood
That is not our way
We bleed and suffer
Suffer ‘cause we can through Him
No matter what
Did He put up a fight
Before He sacrificed, Himself
And thus died for your sins?
Oh, dancing in Heaven, by the way
Is mostly beyond amazing even
Enticing me to ecstasy every time I think of it
But I resist, I resist so much an experience I have had once, so badly
But I can’t go just yet, there’s always hope of a certain love
I’m just wondering if it’ll be
Before or after that day I proclaimed
Cause right now, my legs are beckoning me to run
Run as fast as I fucking can
But I will stay as long as it takes ’cause I have to
For you
Simplest Way
How else can I say
Something to convey
In the simplest way
Guidance to obey
Listen and pray
Do not be afraid
Your will every day
God’s will be done today
Why do you disobey
Your creator this way?
You’re all so happy today
To be totally screwed in the end
Still Time
I’ve discerned the truth
I’m happy that the ignorance
The rejection
The disbelief
Of what is written by Christ
Inflicts on me for His sake
So many times this happens
I intentionally lost count
To carry the burden of that scorn
Not you
No matter what
I would finish this now
But there is still time left
The cries for justice ring clear
Just be ready, my dear
Certain
She plucked the strings of my heart
Tugging on the one that makes me cry
In anguish ’cause I am
Certain of a future that’s uncertain
Recognition
We’ve been searching and peering deep
Into your soul by these human eyes
This heart asks yours in the deepest silence
Do you believe, do you see?
Some will startle in their seat and think they’re crazy
Most don’t hear at all.. So much noise in argument
Or their heart is so full of hate it’s stone cold
So few recognize, but are too ashamed to say
The dead cry out from their graves
Raise us, redeem us, give us justice!
But the living dead seek a sign with signs all around
I did stomp my foot and the earth it shook..
As it was already foretold
This is getting really old
Only one true sign for this generation
The truth you shall come to believe
Amen
Struck
What you wrote it struck me
It struck me hard somehow
That it really does sound like
I am saying I am holier than most
Then I realized
That is exactly what I am saying
But not with a haughty look
More like, really? I never deserved this..
All I did was surrender to Christ
It is kind of like a line
A lie that we were told we could not cross
We crossed the line, indeed
Never look back
What I am actually saying
Is that if we by grace are like Christ
If we don’t believe we are holy
Then we have not crossed the line
Anything
What does it mean to follow Christ?
It means joyfully carrying your cross to the end
Offering your own sacrifices along the way
How and why joyfully?
If I surrender myself entirely to Him
Something extraordinary happens
Swathed in peace wrapped in grace
I experience at my choosing, how I shall suffer
I suffer in truth, like I have been tortured
Burned by acid and torn into pieces even
So that you have the payment we make
For your sake, with joy in Christ’s name
It doesn’t end there for me
I witness the affirmations along the way
Through Nature, through Angels
Through the stars in the sky
Through the love of others
Inviting me into opportunities
To give God Glory
Not only to watch God do amazing things
But partake and experience them
We can do anything, God’s Grace
It’s what we choose to do that matters most
We could choose to lay everything to waste
And Nature would obey
But we don’t.. yet.
What do you say?
The Answer
Since I can’t do anything on my own
This weak flesh and mind of mine
I must give everything to God
Once you have tasted freedom
You will always thirst for it
A thirst always quenched by Christ
I’ve been to Hell and I’ve been to Heaven
Ask me about it sometime
I don’t recommend the former
I can tell you in truth, in that desolate place
There is no peace but always war for power
If you are weak you will perish
The strong will crush your bones under their feet
And when you are parched with thirst
In your mouth they shove the burning ash of your flesh
In Heaven however, weakness is adorned
Not because of weakness itself
But for the Glory of God by raising the weak
Raised to the fullness of His Strength
Thus they are His and have His Power
Over the earth, over death, all with pure love
Ever wonder what would happen
If someone who’s given themselves over to God
Entered Hell with all of God’s Glory and Power?
I would wager that the fire that comes
That destroys evil and purifies by love
Will be the answer you are looking for
Amen
Give
If we give even in the little things
What is little to God we are given
If we give something great to God
What is great to God is granted
Thrones
Read holy scripture, it’s all in there
I see many thrones
I see where I sit and I am humbled
I see what’s beyond the thrones
I see Christ sits on them all
Those of you with evil hearts, don’t you see?
If you open your mouth and in disgust protest
I rebuke you in Christ’s Holy Name
So that before you can dole out your hate
The eyes in your head will cease to see
And the tongue in your mouth will freeze
Only a repentant heart will be released
This is indeed mercy
Declination
Warning
Here is something you must understand about God
He is the one who commanded you to not sin
What is sin?
Sin is an offense against God
God cannot offend Himself
He also cannot sin
For if He Himself were to even commit those things
It’s not that He would cease to exist
It’s that he must lower himself to your level of disobedience
To reach you and save you from death itself
Because God, can do whatever the fuck He wants
IF this offends you, then you are far from God
Thus the work of my hands is indeed His
He is doing it all through me, cause I offer daily
I am thus also offered daily
Ecstatic moments of God’s Divine Love
But I decline! Not because I don’t want to
I decline because I will leave this place if I do
