They took away my power, my agency – v2

harms committed against me, sin,
directly or indirectly changing my path
my course, every choice of my life
outside my control or giving up control,
whatever might be the case,
they took away my power,
my autonomy, my agency,
I have fought to take it back…
 
in my struggles, in my pain,
in my deep sense of loss, anguish,
even when I feared to follow
Your calling for my life
I have chosen poorly,
I have hurt those I love,
I have acted inappropriately
selfishly, in the flesh, of the body,
to regain an allusion of control…
 
when they took away my power
my autonomy, my sense of self,
I was left out of control, buffeted,
limited by my fears, out of my depth,
unmoored from You, Lord,
a feather in the wind, blown,
wanting so much more
wanting to truly live…

You have gifted me light

You have gifted me light
an eye for infinite detail
a love for what You created,
life here on earth….
 
You have blessed me with abundance,
but I have feared to step forward,
I listened to those who said, “no”,
not to Your still small voice…
 
You are the only way forward,
I must trust in You alone,
lead me forward Almighty God,
help me to do the work…
 
You have called me to the light,
with my lens and with my words,
help me to conform my steps
to Your calling, holy Lord…

I need a partner

Something has been missing
in my journey in life to this moment
I have not had a partner,
one who is my champion,
in my dreams, my goals in life…
 
I have walked beside them
I have held them close to me
but I have not shared my dreams
my hope for a future together
with one who understands me…
 
I need a real partner
a companion on my journey
one who can help me to flourish
I am lost when I feel alone
I am fearful in submission…
 
I long to walk boldly
into my calling, my purpose,
but I need someone beside me
more than a suitable helper,
a partner on my walk…

#poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #calling #purpose #witness

I have chosen the easy path

for far too long I have been fearful
of failure, of condemnation,
I have not been willing to risk
to walk boldly, on purpose…
 
I have chosen the easy path,
excelling because I have been gifted,
but cursed as well by my successes,
walking in complacency, in death…
 
I have known for so long,
that You have a calling for me,
I am slowly changing my path,
but my fear still grips me…
 
for this moment, this season,
I long to bend to You,
may I have the true courage
to trust You in my purpose…

Words are dangerous – v3

Cavalier, careless, unthinking

shot from our mouths

the sword of our tongues

Seeking gain, advantage

at the expense of our neighbors

A constant battle, raging,

our approach to discourse

Words are dangerous, a rapier,

when grounded in the world

the stuff of the earth, the flesh;

We are called to a different way

of love from our musings

to offer Christ to all

a light to the whole earth

Let Love inform our language

let Jesus guide our words

our struggles for justice

may we hear the words of old

Calling us to be God’s servants

to offer love to all, the other,

all the people on the earth

The guiding of our Savior

lived out in His journey

of offering love, forgiveness,

even when we were persecuting

when we denied our Maker

when we pierced our Brother’s hands

lifting Him on the tree

Christ forgiving, words uplifting,

at the moment of His anguish

abandoned and dying

that we would be free

Bearing witness

the power of that example

a light to the nations

hope for the whole world

“changing the wind”

http://raymondafoss.blogspot.com/2007/12/changing-wind.html

Based on the comments of Jim Wallis on

Speaking of Faith, November 29, 2007

http://speakingoffaith.publicradio.org/programs/jimwallis/index.shtml

He was talking about whether to change politicians

or change the wind, to change the public opinion

which guides politics. He used the example

of President Johnson’s statement to the

Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. that it would

take 5 years for a voting rights bill but

it actually took 5 months to pass the Voting Rights Act,

after the March in Selma.

despised and rejected – v4

The ancient scroll was unrolled

as he started to speak

the words springing off the paper;

The words had come to life with His Passion,

the story of this week

He was despised and rejected,

Christ was tortured and abandoned;

He was disfigured by their punishment

the stark cruelty of Man

He was despised and rejected

yet He was chosen by God;

Christ became the sin offering

to redeem our mortal souls

He was beaten and humiliated,

Christ was nailed to the cross;

The Paschal Lamb was humble

submitting to the will of God
