a quick fix #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #sin #confession #repentance

a quick fix, a moment of healing,
a cortisone shot to numb the pain
chaos, lives spinning out of control
needing recission, surgery,
a restructuring within, completely,
to achieve purpose, to experience healing
to have our hearts restored…
 
grief far deeper, needing action
giving up our lives, our wills,
reversing direction, turning
from ourselves, our flesh
to the calling of God, our Father,
running out to meet us,
to welcome us home…
 
only in grieving deeply
for our rebellion, our shame,
our turning away from ourselves
can we receive redemption
within our hearts, our spirits,
The sacrifice of Christ
that redeems our souls…
