Restoration

Heavy heart for the sins so
Easily cast to blame on
Another.
Resistance against
Taking responsibility

Builds
Rebellion
Only the
King can
End
Nicole.

--

Remembering the
Eternal cost of
Salvation
To bring me to
Ordinations,
Re-arranging my heart for the
Everlasting purpose of the one who
Died for me.

Endure

The opposite
of love,
indifference.

Stale hearts
shallow breaths,
weakness.

Malevolence sparks
the feelings,
compassion.

Rapid breathing
gasps air,
strength.

Building allegiance
through passion,
fight.

A Haiku

I want what we had
Love more passionate than flames
Healing to the soul

In My Heart

Little toes, the first I saw
before you were born
They walked into my heart
and never left

There you stand

Your crinkled nose
and rosy cheeks
Your toothy grin and sapphire eyes
look deep into my heart

Where you stand

Your temper tantrums
and silliness
your love and wet kisses
melt my heart

Here you stand
forever in my heart

Full Moon

Remember when you were strong
Unashamed of His love;
When passion ran through like fire?
Your heart sank
Into the ashes
Waves are ebbing
The moon is waning

No one loves me
Inspires me
Impresses me
They way you used to
All that is left are ashes
Waves are ebbing
The moon is waning

The lowest reached
Sand is sifting
You can be remarkable
Dig
Ashes to ashes
Let the waves crash
And the moon be full

Shooting Stars

Shower of shooting stars
    this love,
pieces of beauty and light
    amidst darkness.
Wishes and prayers
    with the isolation of the fall.
Breaking down and coming undone
    in the rush.
In the heat there is passion
    colors;
 The fuel of the fire.
Intensity that takes
    breath away.
In the rhythm of our heartbeats,
    here and gone.
Beating pain in my chest,
    needed to live.
Never knew I could feel this much;
   this love, a
Shower of shooting stars

Unconditional Love

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish but have eternal life"
John 3:16

"I have come that they may have Life, and have it to the full"
John 10:10b

I.
Immeasurable and undeserving
Experience never ending joy
Through knowing God personally
For this is His purpose for us

II.
Sinful, missing the mark
Undeserving and unable
To achieve this purpose
Alone.

The wages of this imperfection?
Death
Eternal, spiritual
Separation.

Though we attempt, we fail
For a gap exists
Between God's holiness
And our singleness
Unbridgeable

III.
EXCEPT
Through Jesus
The Way
The Truth
The Life

God's Son
Gives as our
Sacrifice
While we were still sinners
Crucified

The unbridgeable gap?
Bridged
There lies the corss-
Providing the way.
Christ paid the wages
Eternal death
Becomes
Eternal life.

IV.
Only by receiving
Accepting
Christ
Can we-
Eternally separated
Be forever reunited
Cleaned and Holy
By the Grace
Of our God.

V.
There He stands
At the door of your heart
Knocking

Opening the door
Life Changing
Eternally.
