HATRED

13 Sep

“Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.” 1 John 3:15

 

Hatred, like a canker,

eats even to the most

tender part of the soul.

✝

It rests at the edge of love,

volleying back and forth,

pretending to be one,

and then another.

✝

It separates father and son,

brother and sister,

spirit and soul,

mind and body.

✝

It lives by many names,

anger, jealousy, rage,

all dividing,

all destroying,

all pulling asunder,

that which once was one.

✝

But whether it manifests

as rightful or wrongful,

it stands firm to one truth,

the end thereof is death.

✝

Come, Sweet Jesus,

and purge this cancer,

that it will have no claim,

on this life I call Yours.

INFERNO

7 Jul

That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:   -1 Peter 1:7


Here I stand,

Safe in the hand of God,

Kissed by a gentle breeze,

Cooled by the living water,

Of the Spirit.


All around me rages an inferno,

To my right, to my left,

Directly in my path.


The bowels of hell,

Threatening death,

Always testing my faith,

But held away,

By my closest friend, my savior.


Here I stand,

And here I will stay,

Until I hear the voice of God,

Directing my steps,

To reach the lost,

With His precious love.
