Isn’t sin so subtly destructive…little things are big things. We have become a people who declare ourselves of “little sins”..therefore we somehow feel it alright with our souls. Yet joy will flee…His life in us will fade..and soon we will realize death has occurred….
Relinquish the lofty hearts of religious spirits, the hidden thoughts that roll daily, the sins of omission of unconcern for our brethren, and sin of disobedience when Christ says go…and we stay in the familiar.
Re-look at the Word..the cost of disobedience..Jonah..Moses..David..Judas. Are there any betrayers among us? is it us? Are we image bearers…with knowledge of the truth of God’s Word…or are we simply knowledge bearers…with no life to impact a dying world.
My deepest desire is authenticity …to my Father..and to a world in need. Can I be trusted that what I say..I also live? Can you? For nothing is hidden from the Lord…may He renew a right spirit in us..
Mirror mirror on the wall
Does Thou see Thyself at all?
Is His face and likeness shown
Or is Thou hidden in sin unknown..
Child of mine I see Thy blood
Marks you mine forever loved
Yet i still see besetting sin
“Decent” to the likes of men.
This reflection showeth groans
Shadows that have made their homes
Use thy lips to speak forth life
In thy heart are walls of strife.
Blurry makes My gaze on thee
Clear thy heart of pesky weeds
Thorns have covered seed that’s sown
Choked it’s now from inner moans.
Light must now reflect to thee
Dispelling darkness nestling deep
Hidden maybe to naked eyes
But reflect on this heart of mine.
Let my love and truth persuade
Dive down deep ..pierce…invade
For this spot of smallest haze
Must be under Thy blood now placed.
Quench it does My work in you
Keeps you paralyzed ..unused
In the light you now must bring
Not 1 sin…2 sins… but everything.
