View of the Parade

As I watch the parade

passing my point of view

by faith of Christ

the inverse is true.

What has passed

is ahead and history.

What's behind

is yet to come

and energizes me.

Worry of the future,

by faith, is history.

Such faith frees of

demands to see.

Guilt, shame,

the residue seen.

But now by faith,

the Word made clean.

What appears behind,

now arrives on time

as an end

to the parade

reflects sublime

what is first

seems last.

By the Word

long last.

John 1:15

Heir Pressure or Flatline

Heir pressure drives us to Christ. We often let emotional pressure cause us to demand that others be Christ for us while building a wall between Christ and us(flatlined). Romans 8:16-25

Frozen in My Tracks

Frozen in my tracks, fearful of frostbite.

Now still, though with fright.

Figment of imagination or Spirit-led hesitation?

Did Lot have the same fear? A lot like me?

How else comes hesitation so an angel draws near?

A fear turning holy inspiring courage, but slowly.

As I lift my hand feeling the gentle tug,

increasing in strength becoming the Father’s hug.

Blue Angels

bluescloseform Blue Angels, Blue Angels, what is meant

flying helmut to helmut by one consent?

A metaphor of  Zephaniah 3:9?

How do I learn to get in line?

Am I under the Father

or is He under me?

Do I receive the blue of eternity?

Are these questions from you

or they coming from me?

Blue Angels, Blue Angels, I now know

that to get in line let the Father show.

It's his lap, the lap of luxury.

By his hug is it revealed to me.

Be Loved By The One You're With

Am I loved by the one I'm with? Is that just another myth?

I'm trying to love the one I'm with.

From where does this trying come?

Just a beating of my own drum?

A drum with no divine sound

causing the gentle Voice to drown?

I hear  "Love the one you're with."

Is this performance of a myth?

The beat of the Father's heart, faintly heard.

Feasting on everythting short of His word.

Is the thought to perform so absurd?

It is finished! I once heard.

Forgotton is my first Love,

the One as gentle as a dove.

Love me so to receive

what I'm led to believe.

Luke 13:22-27

Treacherously: A Breach of Faith

Lord forgive us men who hide our malace toward our wives(and You) behind the robe of justice. Thankfully the malice breaks out often enough to reveal itself so it can't remain hidden or denied and unhealed. May our cry for justice become a cry for mercy and soften us. Malachi 2:13-17
