BEAUTIFUL BLACK SHEEP

Outcast among the rest,

Your beauty astounds me,

Bearing scars as a thousand soldiers

Wounded in battle at gunpoint.

Deepest lesions, harshest blows

Bitterest sores, excruciating madness

In a whirlpool of pain and despair

Dwells you, swimming in the pit of nothingness in a vegetative state.

You aim high still with tainted skin,

Nothing to attract the eyes,

But your beauty astounds me.

In a whirlpool of pain and despair

There dwells you in the pit of nothingness.

Broken birthright heir, Beautiful Black Sheep

Wounded in battle at gunpoint,

Deep is the lesions, harsh is the blows

Bitter the sores, excruciating madness.

Yet you cling to Hope’s hem

Never letting go of the need to exist.

You Are Beautiful, Black Sheep!

RETURN TO EDEN

EXIT OUT OF THE SNAKE PIT

Life is a battlefield but man’s heart is the warzone! The brain just keeps launching its missiles because after the great fall (temptation at Garden of Eden) we were programmed only to self destruct but glory to God for the gift of salvation through Jesus blood that grants us full access to reconnect with God at any and all odd hours through prayer for the benefit of our own souls. This privilege that even the angels have not received (is enough to boast though we do not flaunt it), has made us the envy of many even though it’s free access available to all but few partake in it and others still find time to be envious at our progresses. Some choose a lesser god rather than to remain fixated on THE ONE TRUE ALMIGHTY LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST to secure their eternity.

Why is it so difficult for a person to remain at a spiritual scholarly level for life you wonder? Partly because most of society as a whole holds an unprecedented idea to trick or diminish the known party into a fall using the underdog, or he is boosted higher up a pedestal only to plot a greater fall that once at a desired level of respect, he is made a ‘god of the people’ (person set on a pedestal by the people to earn a downfall later as they choose=scapegoat in a fine attire). He is at their mercy, a mercy he will never receive but he’s too blinded by his desire for lust and power to ever notice this. No one likes the average. So everyone struggles to either be a ‘god’ of the people or yearn to escape from becoming an underdog; the carpet that is trampled on by the ‘god’ of the people. The Average in serving THE ONE TRUE AND ONLY LIVING GOD however is given exquisite power, for in accomplishing one’s duty toward the Savior in abiding by His Commands, Word, Will and Way, he (the average) obtains access to a higher call until this world is no longer worthy to hold such jewel. The average is called by the MAN IN THE MIDDLE (at the crucifixion Jesus was the Man in the middle), just ordinary people called by a perfect God to carry out His perfect gift of salvation to deprived souls in captivity. The average is given such a task because of his state of being plain, simple, misfit in one way or another. Once activated, this power of salvation gives off a ripple effect that stirs humanity to steer in the straight and narrow while it’s still day. (The ripple effect from the Average reaches god of the people and underdog). For when comes nightfall and the door to His grace closes, there remains no more chances to be saved. Therefore, His Great Commission seeks the rich and poor, the well off and lowly, (jews and gentiles), the average and the non-average alike to partake in His perfect plan to reprogram humanity unto seeking Eden by choice! In the heart is where the battle between flesh and soul, relation and power, love and lust, salvation and condemnation takes place. It’s one fierce lifelong battle which often times make life appear rather bleak but bleakness doesn’t mean battle lost. It’s simply a bump on the road to victory that must be overcomed through prayer, fasting and praise. The requirements to be qualified for such is to just be! Be human, be sinful seeking restoration, be you! All living beings that IS, is in fact a candidate for God’s Great Commission Plan, you need only to repent and abide by His WORD, WILL AND WAY AND LET GOD INSTRUCT AND DIRECT YOUR PATH! It’s easier said then done, true but the world wasn’t created overnight! Even if you’re rough around the edges, He made a path through the red sea, surely God can refine and redefine your character. No matter how difficult it appears to you, never assume it’s too difficult for God, for you are only human and He is God. To assume that your case is too far-fetched and in fact too difficult to solve is also to undermine God’s person. As if Jesus’ sacrifice at the cross was insufficient when it concerns your salvation. Such insolence is to not be thought let alone spoken. Nothing is too difficult for God. So as you strut your way through life don’t just live but live with the purpose of seeking Eden. Worm your way out of the snakes belly, reach for the only true Salvation that Jesus gives. Accept the gift that empowers you for God’s eternity. Only then will you truly discover within yourself the treasure instilled for living and for gaining eternal life with God.
