HOMEBOUND

The road is long, the journey tiresome

But home is where I long to be

Amidst familiar faces and all that’s common

I yearn to blend, connect and fit, alas!

Enslaved in an alien body

Forced to live as such

With desires, emotions and human sentiments

Reflect things of a lesser being

A creature with flaws

An entity with expiration

A life exhaling daily-end

An essence of dysfunction

My heart languish after heavenly home

The incorruptible body promised

The imperishable TRUTH that IS

The indispensable YOU that’s absolute, I wait

A CALL TO REFORM

I said I’d show them

To not pounder innocence

People of creed dark past untrue

Bearing a name to which they respond

Yet foreign to its profundity

Meaning or history, they know not verity!

If ’twas revealed

Their name, how cursed be;

What would it alter to these?

Oh senseless beings!

Betrayed by blood

A scapegoat trampled

Youth stifled,

Will suppressed

O wretched souls

Divine escaped thee?

The world corrupt thee?

Repent! O pity!

THE GREAT AWAKENING

No matter how worthless, unworthy you think you are, before God you must believe that Jesus blood sacrifice at the cross was also for the salvation of your wretched soul. And even if all your efforts have proven vain throughout your life and you’re still struggling to do right by God in Jesus, you owe it to yourself to believe that even on your death bed a second before your last breath you might do one thing right before God to change your course of destination into God’s glory. It’s possible your whole life hardship has been about helping you to understand and to take seriously the sacrifice Jesus gifted all humanity in laying down His life. But for you to understand fully and completely you had to have gone through such bitter heart-wrenching life moments and these turmoils brought you to humility in God. Yours has become a genuine relationship that cannot be shaken or compromised by evil desires. Don’t you understand? You’ve been selected, seen and discovered God’s HAND in each and every obstacle, hunger, temptation, anger, injustice, false judgment, threat, inferiority, deception, abuse and harm done against you; yet you live still. What other power could’ve kept you sane and thriving still if not for God’s loving grace and mercy? He has His plan accomplishing over your life so look to His Word for direction over your life! God loves you and think so highly of you that He would give you such an important task at life and living! As this season comes to a close and blooms a new leaf, may your efforts in Christ never be in vain. May you always have spiritual eyes to see, understand and agree with God’s will for your progress. May God’s Holy awakening and awareness find you and lift you to new heights as now it’s time!
