Nothing

 

 

 

At night the world woos me and makes me believe

that I am loved and received by all the

worlds flattery using the gifts

You have given

me

~*~

 

Hearing applauses that appease my heart and vanity,

Feeling this poison run through me it feels

so good to my flesh I want

it to stay.

 

~*~

 

Until the world is quiet then can I hear your voice

I rip my self apart shredding my heart

into pieces and feeling ashamed

with all my

Convictions.

 

~*~

 

As I lay my head at your feet, tears cover them

They flow like a river of despair so deep

For your Grace is poured

over me

 

~*~

 

But when I am in your House and my voice

Is raised to the heavens, every thought

of you brings me to my knees,

 

For I know that

 

~*~

 

 

I am nothing without you, No amount of praise of

this world could ever mean more then

the praises of my Father

in heaven

 

~*~

 

Rend The Veil

Author notes

When the world gets so loud, forgeting my blessings and who gave them to me in all reality i know better that brings my heart to grieve,

    Excellent write here

    Yes as we grow to know God in time he shall be with us in the knowing of all we choose to do our family frinds and the strangers about us shall leaves stones often we trip over but to hold to faith and smile and say oh I see ytou need my help then we see his very love reaching out from us to touch all we meet . In times that are hard if you whisper a prayer he shall shut all other voices out to help us see beyone humanities flaws .

    this is beautiful Rend. so are you inside and out. you are blessed with being so fair, and that is a challenge of its own. your father loves you very much and has made you as he has. you may draw with your outter beauty, and as beautiful as you are it pales in comparison to how lovely your inner spirit is, and i'm sure that your father is much pleased with his daughter. Blessings to you always.

    We are vacillated between our awareness and trivial moods. It is easy to not be aware - all things seem to be certain, but the aware live in many worlds at the same time in the same place, because this reality demands compliance or it will not provide means to live, while the aware know that what reality spreads is often nothing but illusion. But illusions, like all else man builds, will collapse one time and after that the aware will still have their awareness, while the unaware no longer have any frame of reference. Congratulations with the award. Take care.

    Truly excellent!

    THIS is what I mean by asking for thoughts on God -regardless of religion!

    GOD is faith and grace, no matter what your God is called. I asked for help to believe and not die in my pain.

    I don't care if he is called "Allah" (as Ishmeal was Abraham's firstborn son and worthy) or Buddha or even by Wiccan Creed...

    GIVE me faith and help me to overcome the pitfalls!

    I CAN say these things in earnest. My family consists of Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Wiccans, Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, Atheists and Agnostics.

    Truly you have given me just what I needed.

    GOD is all...everything.

    Religion is silliness, as religion will damn you by belief when the only true belief is what is in your soul.

    Beautiful Prayer!

    What a fitting write to read just before bed! I'm struggling presently with many issues, one of which is the nagging realization that my life has slipped by without me fulfilling my dreams & goals. This final stanza that you wrote is what was going through my mind all day today. In & of myself I am nothing.

    I am nothing without you, No amount of praise of
    this world could ever mean more then
    the praises of my Father
    in heaven

    Yes, the finest thing I can do is to use the rest of my life praising Him with the gifts He's given me to do that in the best way I'm able with His help & be content with that! I'm not here to please the world, but to please Him! Thanks for this prayer that you've shared! Did you create the background? It's lovely for this write!

      When i wrote

      this piece, My heart was so grieved, The only praises that will be enternal are for The Father, I see my self wanting to do different things that are not even in the direction of where God is taking me!
      and i am fighting it! God always Wins!

      Blessings

    How dreadful and painful it is to be
    Harshly cast beauty from eyes to see
    Layers of charm mutilated with fear
    Moisten the flesh with acidic tears
    In ocean of fear I soon will sail
    Or just give up to a kiss to peel my veil...

    Rend dear....What a gift you have given us in your write, and the song to go with it..We are truly nothing without Him..All credit goes to Him! You have explored an avenue of writing that is unique to complement the singers song!! I have a vivid picture of you singing and dancing before the Lord...and as Mary who washed Jesus's feet with her tears, pouring expensive ointment on his head in worship.
    I am moved by this poem of worship dear daughter...and I am sure the Lord is too!
    He truly is your audience, your praise and your song!
    So proud of you! Praise the Lord!....Love Momxxoohugs!

      Lord is doing his will in me, i have been away too long and He has a plan and a purpose for my life, I am not saying that i will be perfect because that will not happen until i am absent from the body present with the Lord! I know i will have struggles and if i fall i hope to fall in the loving arms of my father,

    My Dearest Rend The Veil, this poem is an absolutely beautiful write bringing praise to our Heavenly Father.

    God knows the love you have in your heart for him as God sees the heart. He is well aware of the daily struggles we all have as we do our best to stick and cleave to him in love although we have a struggle he assures us.

    NIV
    Romans 5:8
    But God demonstrates his own love for us in this. While we were yet sinners Christ died for us.

    What love yes...your poetry is fantastic! so is the song , all beatifully complimentry to each other, as you praise Our Beloved Father of all tender mercies from your beautiful loving heart , thank you for sharing such a beautiful write

    Have you read this at Romans 7: 14-25 ?
