Rise Above

Risen above the decaying process of self
Given news of the eternal gift
The way and the truth
Love liberates
Rise above
Love exhilarates
Connections to heaven
Eternal life as we are living
Step ahead a new world of forfeiting self
Reach out you have won the battle of the flesh

    Such a fantastic piece here...Congratulations on the Emerald Trophy...This give such a beautiful feel to each word you have chosen and makes one to desire to win the battle over the flesh...Which by the way seems really hard for most...Yet Victory is ours when we do...Love the message and the flow is great...Like water falling from the mountain right into the Spirit Man...
    Blessings and Love
    Always

      Thank you CherylAnn for the kind comment and compliments on my poem! A battle indeed but can be won. It engulfs many unneeded desires of all kinds. I guess thats why it is so tough to win. But each step counts. Don

      I think it is a constant battle for us all to work at in our walk thru life as faith itself is tested. Thank you for the compliments and cool comment. Don
