Fathomless pain ambushed my body
yet I was still.
Three holes bear witness
to the love I declare.
This love seems forgotten,
a meaningless gift
thrust aside by
Greed.
Wrath.
Lust.
Gluttony.
Covetness.
Laziness.
Pride.
It's not that my people don't need me,
my people don't want me.
They need me more than ever,
but the vast majority is blind,
blind to the relief I institute
in this capacious field of pain!
I am here to hold your hand,
to walk you through the storm!
I gave my life,
my very being for all of you
and I have to watch as you
kill
hate
abuse
slander
deceive
running aimlessly in sinful circles
fading away into the dark.
Ask for the light!!
I am here.
Turn to me.
I love you.
I want to help....

I see this myself
In my writing I often have as he looks down upon you what shall you say and I also when I was growing up knew for I was taught love and respect that when My mother looked down on me when I had done wrong I tell you this their wasnt much difference in the way you would feel for she gave me life so I always felt she had the right to take me out as well . Do you know that look I sure do althought my mother was a true angel and we love her to this day but man that look qwe knew qwhat that meant at a young age

So True.........
Are these words spoken from the very heart of Jesus!! He does want to help..Why do we not see this?? We are ALL guilty of something you listed here be it insecurity to do his will in our lives which would bring moree into his kingdom, or those who just turn a deaf ear to his calling thinking we have all the time in the world...Thanks for your entry full of God's wisdom here and the best of luck in my contest!!!~~Toni~~ -
