Faith

Faith fought my fears,
Faith assured me a better tomorrow,
Faith indicated the right direction,
Faith turned my weakness into strength,
Faith helped me walk without seeing,

Yet I stand questioning what faith truly symbolizes, why am I seeking inspiration when faith gave me hope, how do I reassure my faith and remain faithful?

Faith failed to keep me faithful
Faith accepted my anxiety
Faith ignored my cry
Faith taught me otherwise
Faith hindered the demons

And now I am free! But why do I feel prisoner when my faith is absent? How do I set myself free from such burden and demand? Where do I turn to when I feel My Lord is busy making something better for me?

I’ve grown impatient and still manage to have a piece of me love what God has done for me. For my love for Him is eternal like His for me but my faith is a constant battle between now and never and it feels like when I can no longer wait, He answers my cry.

Revelations reveals Royalty,
The Word reads Loyalty,
from hell and back –  My God, He’s tough.
what I do will never be enough!
gave His life for me,
today and tomorrow the best I strive to be.

Used to live in sin,
The World and demons I let in,
skipping church to sleep,
Saturday night left me in deep,
hard to see the truth,
dodging the confessional booth.

From every other Sunday,
I’ve turned to a better way,
Nonbelievers stare,
He’s shown me His Word is meant to share,
Walking in the light,
Secure and protected at night.

God has shown me life,
Believe in the Holy Spirit, Lord,Jesus Christ,
Left behind what I knew,
Soul searching became true,
Damaged and broken – now so pure,
God’s given me eternal life for sure.

Me, Myself, and I

What I see is not what others see,

how they feel does not concern me,

why they’re entitle to judge does not effect who I want to be,

but I stand tall, me, myself, and I, will never fall.

Rumors and gossip will not hinder my thoughts,

postpone my success or become a distraction.

I’m living to God’s satisfaction,

for He knows my pain and understands my struggle,

blessed me with strength and guides my every move.

I am full of insecurities, flaws that make me beautiful,

perfections that do not exist but imperfections that make others smile,

Appreciated for my talents, forgiven for my faults, loved for who I am.

 

 

 

REFLECTION

Remembering what once use to beecognizing the past, acknowledging the present, preparing for the future

Evolving through the gaps of timencountering adventures allowing us to see the world

Fulfilling every broken desire through imaginationorgiving the wrong and acknowledging the right

Lying to prevent hurt from ourselvesoyal to ourselves and to others

Expecting sympathy but receiving nothing in returnxpressing inner greatness without regret

Criticizing yourself because their is no other judgement like your ownonstructing endless possibilities

Troubling mind unable to escapealented mind ready to experience new wonders

Invisible to our own reflectionnventing ourselves for our own good

Obvious insecurities hidden beneath the skinverseeing flaws that make us prefect

Nothing can change in our reflection if we do not accept the change needed to be made
