~ He Is ~

Missing image

 

He is the reason you are breathing
A part of you since you've been teething,
This creator of life as you know;
The air you inhale is divine
While you breathe it you are fine,
Yet you shun Him as your way you go.

He lights the skies you call the Heavens
Gave you the days you count by sevens,
His very life is in the breezes;
Your thirst is quenched by His creations
Yet to give thanks there's hesitations,
It seems you'll wait until Hell freezes.

The time He gave you here is numbered
Living a life that seems encumbered
Filled to overflowing with despair;
He once died that you may have life
Sacrificially He destroyed strife,
Gave His everything to prove He cares.

He is waiting at the altar for each one as you falter
To forgive you and return to you your joy.
He is patient He is loving but beware the end is coming
And to hesitate too long would be a shame.
Give your life to Him today so that He can lead the way
To everlasting life as you adopt Your Saviours name.


His word is a lamp unto thy feet.

    Love the theme, love the courage it took to acknowledge Christ before man, love the support you've been getting in the comments, I just don't enjoy the structure. I think you may have done it well, I just don't particularly care for it.

    Still, I am blessed by your work and thank you for joining in on my contest.

    Keep writing!

    In Christ,

    you will definately get a lot of positive feedback around here where JESUS is concerned. For me, I think I would appreciate this kind of writing more if it was written with specific ownership for who God is to YOU.
    many people will be put off by your message if they feel like you are preaching/judging etc. I have always believed that God can handle his own business.

    OH MY GOSH, COOL! I can even see him on the screen while I'm typing this. Coolio! Weird how our eyeballs work and how people can figure out how to make images like that to make our eyes see things. I like those images that are hidden, too, where you relax and you see the image within. John can't see those, he's color blind.

    I know it took a long time but the result was worth the wait Twinny. Anything that can make you so happy is a good thing and what better path to take than the one you've set out on.

    Now that the first stage of Mick's and my journey is almost over reading your words gives me the confidence to keep going. Your loving thoughts and prayers have kept my steps steady more times than you will ever know

    Love always

      Hmmm...scratches head and wonders why it was removed from contest if 'you liked it'.
      I guess I am missing something here.
      Thanks for your comment anyway

    I don't have a faith. I guess things in life have put me off, and I question and doubt way to much to believe. Yet, I think your feelings show in this poem well, and I admire you for that. I suppose to believe gives you something, so there will never be a time when life feels like an empty nothingness.
    I also like the way you've written it, it fits together perfectly.

    Holly.

      Thank you Holly...I understand where you are coming from as that is where I WAS until I 'allowed' Him to fill that void. No puzzle in life fits more perfectly together than when Jesus is the one guiding the pieces. It is the simplest Math you will ever have to do if you can solve that equation by acceptance without questioning. Forget the lists of why and why not...have Faith and talk to HIM...he is waiting to hold your hand and walk the line with you.
      God Bless Ya

      Thank you...I am not a Religious person either...to me there is a difference between that and being a Christian. I have a deep sincere love for Jesus and have personally experienced His Healing in my life (OOOOOH YEAH) Religion complicates things far too much for me. I keep life simple in His love and promises for those He loves and know and believe in Him.
      God Bless Ya

    Lovely poem, it flows beautifully.

    I especially enjoyed lines 9 - 14 (verse 2). Your a great writer, and you show your beliefs thoroughly (sp) in your writing. Well done!

    I tried the staring at the picture, bit trippy. My eyes have gone funny after staring at it though. Haha.

    Whenever I am reading a poem about God and I come across the word “beware” I stop reading because I know that it is not about my God.

      I find that a shame also for it is written in the word of God in Exodus 23
      "Behold, I send an Angel before thee. . . . Beware of him, and obey his voice"
      Therefore I find no offence or need for defence in using this term within a write when I believe there is a real need to take note and act without haste.
      ie.beware: have a special regard; to heed.

      I thank you for taking the time to pen your view.
      God Bless

    Awesome write friend....Thank you for your sharing...He is trying to do preparing for us all here on earth...We need to heed the call, and write to one and all....His life was given and He wants us all to benefit with Heaven and his love...A masterpiece of penning for the Lord!

      Thank you soooo much for receiving this
      You are absolutely right...it is time...it is known in the Spirit of those who know Him.
      Not to heed would be to disobey and to disobey could mean the loss of just one soul that this may touch. I am far from one who preaches but when blessed as I have recently been there is no option but to pen for Him.
      God Bless

    There are so many around us that deny the very truth of God. It' s very hard to deal with them most of the time. You don't want to push them away, but you want to tell them about the wonderful reality of God... There has to be a balance...

    But anyways, great write. Lot's of truth. ^^ I think you may have a typo in this line, though:
    "Yet you shun Him as your way you go."
    Should it be:
    "Yet you shun Him as your way to go."
    ?

    Anyways, I really like the flow. You used rhyme and meter exceedingly well. Overall, it's a very good, very true write.

    I especially liked these lines:
    "Filled to overflowing with despair;
    He once died that you may have life
    Sacrificially He destroyed strife,"

    Beautiful and entirely true.

    Keep writing great, beautiful, and truthful poetry. Thank you for sharing,
    ~Ayven

      My thanks to you for such an in depth comment
      I knew this line would cause issues as it does depend on how it is read...
      "Yet you shun Him as your way you go."... Pause after Him & capitalise YOUR and you have a different meaning altogether...
      similar may be said for this one
      "This creator of life as you know" ...of life as you know LIFE to be or the creator as you know HIM to be???
      subtle but yet another truth
      God Bless
