I know I've done a poor job of keeping people updated so I'm going to try harder. As time is limited I'll just try and write things like this as they come up:
I was reading in Romans 1 where Paul is talking about the results of a man not acknowledging God, the Creator. He says basically that this decision seperates them from God and their passions and unrighteousness takes over. As I was thinking about that I wrote this poem:
"They can't find you anywhere,
Where could this person be,
Her quiet desperation is no longer quiet,
Already divorced and now alone,
She hangs her head and cries.
After very meal, snack and drink,
She lets out a cry and herself she purges.
Left rejected and despised,
She lost her friends and hurt them too.
She sings and sings but her words are empty,
There is always another who is supreme.
She never sleeps because when she does,
The terror and screams leave her more restless than before.
She feels like shattered glass,
Never to be whole and a dnager to all who come near.
She hates herself, never thinks of another,
Thoughts of killing herself are far too common.
Where can you find this girl?
Remove Christ blood, HIS work on the cross,
And withold the Holy Spirit.
Then run to the grave, the pit of despair,
And you'll find me lying there."
When I look back on my life I can see glimpses of this girl. I have no doubt this is just a glimpse of where I would be if it were not for the work of Christ in my life. He is my hope, my righteousness, and my redeemer!
