Help and Forgiven
Here I am again
I failed you
not that I wanted to hurt you
yet I know I did
how again
is that you forgive me
how again
is that I am even worthy to ask
to even say your name
yet here i am
in all my unworthy sin
yet here i am
you cover me with grace
with mercy and forgiveness
and i hope and i pray
that i won't do what I did today
that i will turn from this way
truly live alive
still I know
i stumble again and again
though I try
it happens
just help me not too

We all stumble, cries_within. I do. Time after time after time. But I also invision Him. With a hand outstretched to lift me up. With an arm that enfolds around me. And I thank Him for never leaving me.
I hope you are doing ok today.

To breathe without gasping
to live without dying
See beyond the outer visage
into the reality of that which is
To listen without judging
To speak without interupting
know that you want to understand
that it isn't just the formality
That what you are saying
That what you are seeing
Is the truth and reality
of that which is you or me
Why do we hide away inside
Why do we keep it quiet
afraid to show our true colors
afraid to tell others
That we need someone
who'll listen who'll care
that we need someone
to just be there

A Time For Everything in Life
In every-one's life, more or less we have most experiences as mentioned below ...
A time to be born
A time to learn
A time to learn
A time to be happy
A time to be sad
A time to be angry
A time to celebrate
A time to be angry
A time to reconciled
A time to separate
A time to keep
A time to let go
A time to love
A time to hate
A time to be rich
A time to be poor
A time to be healthy
A time to be sick
A time to be young
A time to be old
A time to get lost
A time to be found
.......................
Whatever you may find your time frame now, do it with the strength of God! It means more when God is in it!

OK, I'm new, and I am sticking my toe in here. This is a poem I wrote awhile back
Regret
Regret is a funny creature,
Often absent when he is expected,
Only to appear when we aren’t looking.
His arrival is sometimes swift
In the breath following a careless remark,
The smile that softens a look of anger,
Yet, in times of deepest acts,
Greatest sins,
Most reckless abandon,
Regret is slow to appear –
Weighted down with the memory
Of temporary pleasure,
Wrapped in cords of desire,
Chased away by rationalization,
Justification,
Expectation.
Then, finally, in quiet steps
And gentle words,
Regret tears down the walls
Of denial and longing
And floods us
With its helpless pain,
Driving us to the end of ourselves
So that we may begin again.

Thank you so much, heremainsfaithful, I've been asking for the name of the song months, finally you got it all right! I am soooooooo happy and blessed!
God bless you then, by the way, I love most of the lyrics meaning from Leona Lewis, especially "Footprints in the sand"

Have you ever stopped to look at the clouds,and watch them pass us by. I see the shapes , and images they make, and wonder why they move. I see the rain , and wind blow through, the clouds up in the sky. Sometimes their dark and sad, and sometimes like a flower bloom. I see the sun casts beams of light upon the earth below , and wonder where they could lead me to ,away from this time we know. Perhaps unto another place that is not filled with death and gloom! So many walk , and live their life not looking at the sky, but me ;I'll look at Heavens gate, beyond my clouded eyes!

It is said in Job 1: 21, "Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I turn thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of Lord."
In Jeremiah 1: 5, "Before I formed thee in the belly I know hee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I santifie thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations."
Who shall take hold of the 100% authority our lives?
Who shall predict the tomorrow of mankind?
Who shall prepare our ways for the future?
Who shall have the power to grant life and to take away?
Who shall know every part of our biological functions?
Truly HE is, our One Father - the Creator of all!
Then no one shall we fear in this world, when we know truly HE is the controller of the Universe!

As I listen to the music - Never Let Go by Brian Adams, it just reminds me of our Lord Jesus, who never let go and redeemed us by all cost! I'm grateful for that! It's also the soundtrack of the Guardian, good movie to be inspired of!
Can you lay your life down, so a stranger can live?
Can you take what you need, but take less than you give?
Could you close every day, without the glory and fame?
Could you hold your head high, when no-one knows your name?
That's how legends are made, at least that's what they say.
We say goodbye, but never let go.
We live, we die, 'coz you can't save every soul.
Gotta take every chance to, show that you're the kinda man who;
Will never look back, never look down,
and never let go.
Can you lose everything, you ever had planned?
Can you sit down again, and play another hand?
Could you risk everything, for the chance of being alone?
Under pressure find the grace, or would you come undone?
That's how legends are made, at least that's what they say?
We say goodbye, but never let go.
We live, we die, 'coz you can't save every soul.
Gotta take every chance to, show that you're the kinda man who;
Will never look back, never look down,
and never let go.

"Why do we exist?"
Said the puzzle piece...
To the box.
None of this makes sense,
As he contemplates the pieces...
"I must examine this more closely."
The blind man feels what he sees....
No! None of this makes any sense at all....
These pieces just don't seem to fit...
"Hey! there's a group!
"That seems to have it together."
"Let me look at what they see."
No! This makes no sense either!
A group of blind men...
Trying to put together the puzzle.
Hey! I have an idea!
Lets all shake the box.
Maybe, the pieces will come together.
Oh! No!
We've made it worse!!!!
We've Really messed it all up!!!!
Can you remember what happened?
We better fix this!
We better hurry!
Father will be here anytime!!
Hey! Stop the shaking!
Your making things worse!
No! This makes no sense at all...
What is this shaking?
What is this Quaking?
Everything is starting to fall...
Was it all worth it?
Why did we do this?
Oh! No! this makes no sense at all.
I have an idea ...
Let's get out of the box...
Then we can finally see.
What is this?
What is that?
Oh! No! Father is here.
Oh God!
That was only a dream ...
I knew it made no sense at all..
Thank You Father,
For waking me up!
I had the craziest dream!.
Let's open the eyes of this picture.
So they can all now see.
Their purpose was to create this illusion
An illusion that will forever be.
Are you an image of the darkness?
The darkness of your mind?
Or are you an image of the light?
Stepping out of time.
The light that burns forever.
The image of the mind.
~~~~The Teacher

Poem from a little awhile back...
Here it is... plain and simple
the begining and the ending
Its how it always is...
Never accepted Never apart
Just when I did
It slips away through my fingers
Just when I felt
Like maybe I was apart of something
I remember those times
when I felt apart of something
I was happy then... I wasn't alone
Now it returns with vengence
that nawing loneliness
it creeps in... with its lies
from the separation...
its a place I never fit into
I am a missing piece
that has no puzzle to fit into
I don't belong any place...
this is how it is...

We walk through this life
Everyday... going through the motions
Trying to live our lives
but not seeing the reality
We are a broken people
We are a broken nation
though we often push aside
You know its true...
There is an empty hollow
There is a brokeness
That thing that you can't fix
the unspoken reality
with hands reaching...
call on the one
who can put the pieces back together
He's there waiting
He'll put his arms around you
He'll cover you with his love
He'll take the shattered pieces
He'll make you whole
- inspired by TWLOHA and Lonely Nation by Switchfoot

The Jewels Of Heaven
And they shall shine
Forever as the stars of heaven
The heavens and the heavens of heavens
Can not contain him
We are the jewel of heaven
We are what he became
Infinity can not contain us
Infinity is what we are
One light, infinite dimensions
The infinite faceted jewel
The light that is the image
Of the infinite faceted mind
One mind infinite dimensions
One flesh of his flesh
One spirit
One reality
Light became the darkness
darkness became the light
The darkness of time is ending
The eternal day has begun
To be the jewels of heaven
Or the reflection of the night
The night that is the darkness
consumed by the light

warm embrace
from a friendly face
sweet comfort relief
welcome release
held here
with no fear
safe in your arms
not a tear
its sweet bliss
i find in this
with your arms around
oh how i'd miss
hold me
and i am free
no worry or care
with you i'd be

He Cannot Disappoint
If we look, with spiritual eyes, upon any situation in our lives, we can never be disappointed in God. His ways are infinitely above ours, and we must trust and hope in Him to work all things for our good. Eternity governs all of His dealings with His people. His eyes are on eternal redemption. We must willingly and decidedly align our eyes with His, and realize that this life is but a breath. As we submit to His will, and His dealings with us, we begin to see more clearly His mind…and His wonderful, holy purpose for His children.
Any given situation we find ourselves involved in may look hopeless through our natural eyes, and all evidence may affirm such a verdict, yet if we choose by faith to see through His eyes, we can believe that His processes will work His good will in us regardless of all the outward appearances or evidences. Eternity is at stake. If we will to trust, as a little child, that Father knows best, and has only good in mind for us, we can never be disappointed. It becomes more and more improbable for it to be otherwise if we are taking Him at His word!
We are called to a very high place that is not unattainable, as the natural man would have us to believe. We are called to always walk in the state of grace that reflects we are forgiven, cleansed from our sin, redeemed by the Lamb’s Blood, and free in Him to gladly welcome His wise work upon us…no matter the pain it causes to our natural man.
We are to ever reckon our natural man dead, and to walk by faith. By so doing, we are continually strengthened by the Holy Spirit to endure whatever our precious Lord chooses for us to “pass through.” And it is to “pass through” that we are called! Through this world of misery and woe, on into His world of freedom for the son’s and daughter’s of God. We needn’t fear any evil along the way. Jesus has overcome the evil one…and so shall we!
What is faith? Believing, though we can not see. Jesus overcame and so shall we! As we learn to appropriate (by faith) the victory that is ours through His finished work at Calvary, we become more and more restful in His ability to sustain us. He does not disappoint!
If we are walking in His light…the whole of our spiritual life will be spent with serious allegations against us. Such it was with Christ. Such it was with the multitude of chosen ones who have preceded us. Why would it be any different for us? It cannot be different until the father of lies is banished. How do we fight these allegations? We are to stand firmly…grounded in the Father’s Word. His Word is Truth! And Truth shall prevail! He cannot disappoint!
Pain and suffering are part and parcel of our lives in Christ here on earth. It is simply the Father’s way of bringing us home. We mustn’t dwell upon trying to understand this mystery. Rather, let us dwell upon attaining to the place of obedience, wherein we are continually walking in His presence. It is therein that we are not touched. Therein we are not moved. And therein we are unshakeable! We go through the fires and come out untouched! We are thrown into the den of lions and we emerge unscathed! What is the purpose for the pain and suffering? Simply put: It is the will of the Father. Eternity will answer that question more fully when we gaze upon His Son in all His glory! If we will submit to His way…we will not be disappointed!
“In quietness and confidence shall be our strength.” Patiently and confidently we wait before the One Who knows all our ways. “Be still, oh, my soul, and know that He is God.” He cannot disappoint!
Oh, Lord, You shall never disappoint.
It is Your will…Your children to anoint
With the power of Your life. Overcoming power…
Every minute of the day…every single hour.

One life to live, One hope to give
Since I'm alive
I won't wait for the moment to arrive
I will stand, I will say
the words of my testimony today
i will let others know, in this way
of who you are to me
others will again see
with new eyes your glory
let not this promise fall
let not the words miss the call
of what it is.. you want of us all
are you afraid to tell
of the day when your walls fell
when you gave it over and knelt
how he changed your life
what he's done with your strife
how he set you free
Lord I don't want to be
I was terrified to let others see
that me...
for this... i'm sorry
