True Wisdom of the Ages

Come on love, don’t grow weary on me

I need you to teach me

Not just preach to me

I have this insatiable longing


Nothing fills this void

No wisdom from books

Or quote from Sigmund Freud

This is my stream of consciousness

He did have wisdom in that


I know I gold in my pocket

But in reality, I am depressed too

So many erased dates I am stressed and blue

I have no dry eye socket


But wisdom changes with the ages

But one thing is for certain

I will keep my praises

Each day has enough trouble of its own

Jesus was the wisest of them all

Final Bow

Dry seasoning

No hidden meaning

What started as love

Ends with screaming 

Dry rub

It’s never enough 


I want reassurance 

But that takes insurance

Time and money

Can’t see the trees through the forest 

The bee ate all the honey

It’s no longer funny


But you say there’s hope in the sky

Will it shine like a pretty sunrise up high?

I forget every worry 

It erases every why

The review mirror is no longer blurry

And the traffic isn’t in a hurry


You need the fruits of the Spirit now

Where joy, peace and patience you allow

You shine like stars in the night

Memories that make you go wow 

Stubbornness and pride will take a final bow

Love is Stronger

Love is stronger than prophecy

Or supernatural tongues you speak

God is in the midst of you

But give Him your love first

You wonder where He is

You strive with such force

Things go from better to worse


Do you realize freedom can come

As soon as you rest some

Let go of your need for understanding

Trust the One who we can’t comprehend

His love is real compared to the world’s pretend

All He wants is your love and a “Amen”

We are all Heaven-Sent

Fingerprints in your soul

As unique as your fingerprint

You say you aren’t paying rent

But aren’t you heaven-sent?


Your cells are fluttering like butterflies in your body

Don’t worry about your mortality

We all getting ready for the finale

When we will wake up to a new reality

Thoughts for Today!

Suffering brings fruit!


If you want victory surrender to God first!


The world is tainted with truth but the Word is an absolute


If you want to experience the Holy Spirit thirst!


Give to the unnoticed and misguided because Jesus did!


If you want freedom abide in Christ


Be mature like an adult but like love like a kid


Forgive 77 x 7 times not just twice

Soul’s Ache

Withstand

Every demand

With your head

In your hand


Feeling scared

Underprepared

If you trust God

Know He cares


Delegations

Uncomfortable situations

Be bold

Keep your ambitions


Jesus to the cross

Shows whose boss

It’s destiny

Not a coin toss


This world is ugly

Deepest black sea

A current

Of hypocrisy


Jesus says

To pray

For everyone

Esp. for your enemy


Trust your faith

The soul’s ache

The map of longing

To never forsake

Footsteps in the Garden

Idle talk 

Can you walk the walk?

Some days are strange

Can’t handle the change

Bad fruit on the vine

But I say I am fine


Pluck the weeds

To cover up my greed

And idle hands

And unmet plans 

God, where are You?

Will you make my heart anew?


I hear your footsteps in the garden 

I hope my heart doesn’t harden

But I am scared

And underprepared 

But You say, “I take you as you are”

I will be with you no matter if you travel far
