like Job after his testing
 
we will be redeemed
out of God’s mercy...
we will be renewed
climbing on eagle’s wings
like Job after his testing...
we are raised from the pit...
 
God is all-powerful
He is eternally good
merciful in His judgment...
we are restored in abundance
more than we had lost...
 
we are renewed in our hearts...

Proof of change so much greater #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #love #grace #faith #pray #prayer #confession #secrets #trust #believe #forgive #forgiveness #change #admit #Matthew21

In the fields with our Father
serving in the vineyard, working,
going, doing the Savior’s work,
washed clean of our sin...
 
Proof of change in our lives
in our walk on this earth
so much greater than merely
mouthing the word, repentance...
 
It is our turning, going,
the power in our action,
in serving in laboring,
in the vineyard of God...
 
We demonstrate we are changed
that our lives are now Jesus’ own,
when we turn from our sin
when we confess, when we go...

#God #desires our #hearts - v2 #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #love #grace #faith #pray #prayer #confession #secrets #trust #believe #forgive #forgiveness #change #admit #calling #purpose

We must come broken and humble,
bleeding, self-aware of our sins,
Sure, of our weakness,
of our dependence on God...

God desires our hearts
the core of our being
our lives on His altar,
our Judge, our King...

God cannot heal us
unless we confess we are broken
God wants us to come to Him
with our broken heart...

We are broken and humble,
yet we are yoked with Jesus
We stand redeemed,
saved by grace alone...

God offers us heaven
through the gate of the cross...
Christ suffered and died
a life for all our lives...

if they ever do read God’s word
written in holy scripture
in their time on earth...
 
You may be the only Christ they see
You might be their Gospel -
How you walk in this life
is far more important
than any words you speak...
 
Do not quench the Spirit,
the good news of scripture,
with your words and actions...
Put on Christ daily
as you live out your life...
 
Be present, mindful,
of these words of truth...

for the sin I caused
for footprints I have left...
 
Some of my harm
goes back decades
some I have harmed
are long dead
but I must give to You the power
to walk in righteousness...

the penalty of our sin
forsaken by His Father
to bear His wrath within...
 
Stripped of everything precious
dying on the cross
bearing the weight of our sin
so we may truly live...
 
His most human moment
the weight of God’s judgment
dying alone on our cross
to restore us within...
 
Stripped of all power
separated from God
His sacrifice was so painful
Bearing God’s wrath for us...

the Law does not save you #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #love #grace #trust #Messiah

Your heart gives you away
the Law does not save you
God sees within
He knows you completely...
 
Confess your sins
live your life, transparent,
come before God humbly
for He loves you so...
 
Humble yourself
but come boldly
Jesus paid the price
For you to be healed completely...

the stillness of the #womb #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #love #grace #trust #Messiah

within the flesh of her body
in the stillness of the womb
The Creator became created
God’s light in the world...
 
bound by the laws He created,
gravity and all else
needing to breathe to live
eating fruits of this earth...
 
Christ entered creation
God entered time
leaving eternity
to humbly walk with us...

dwelling in the world
that He created
the first-born, Creator,
before all things...
 
before anything, anyone,
entered creation
Christ entered time
breathing as we do...
 
the world was good
we are very good
the earth a vessel
carrying God’s love...
 
He came, he ascended,
unbound by creation,
Eternity reclaimed,
until His return...

Jesus calls me blessed
in my pain, my struggle,
Jesus loves me there
with amazing grace...
 
I am blessed in my struggle,
as I wrestle in my spirit
my calling, my purpose
the battle in my flesh...
 
Jesus calls me blessed
when I am humble, transparent,
Jesus calls to me
to go where I am lead...
 
I am blessed in my struggle,
in seeking, in letting go,
in striving to know Him
My Savior and Lord...

the words of the prophet -
claiming His identity,

every jot and every tittle,
every detail written,
every prophecy revealed
was fulfilled in Jesus Christ...
 
Christ was the Messiah
The One awaited,
He fulfilled every word
of the coming Savior...
 
every jot and every tittle,
but they could not see Him...
they were blind to their sin...
by the Law they were made righteous...
 
Christ was the Messiah
our King and Savior,
but He suffered and died
to set us free...
 
every jot and every tittle
every prophecy written...
Christ was the Messiah
they were waiting for...

Lord, I come to You,
humble and broken...
I know my sentence,
the weight of my sin...
 
Thank You for Christ’s ransom
His sacrifice for my sin...
By God I am saved,
not by something I give,,,
 
Rescue my heart,
conform my steps...
my will Your own
my life in Your hands...

#God calls to my #heart #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #love #grace #faith #pray #prayer #confession #secrets #trust #believe #forgive #forgiveness #change #admit #calling #purpose

broken and humble,
bleeding, self-aware,
Sure, of my weakness
of my dependence on God...
 
God desires my heart
the core of my being
my life on His altar,
My Judge and King...
 
God cannot heal me
Unless I confess I am broken
God wants me to come to Him
with my broken heart...
 
broken and humble,
yet yoked with Jesus
I stand redeemed,
saved by grace alone...
 
God offers me heaven
through the gate of the cross...
Christ suffered and died
His life for my life...
