Ravage Your Heart

What consumes
Your mind?
Thoughts of
Desired possessions?
Desires of
Relationships?
Desires of plans
For your benefit?

These
Ravage
Your
Heart
Wreaking
Havoc
In your life

Going down paths
Desolate
Filled with
Expectations
Not gained
Creating disappointment

How  well do you respond to that?

The desires of
The flesh
Lodged
Deep
In your
Innermost being
Represent a
False security

Desires not
Of absolute truth
Filled with veiled
Satisfaction
Not lasting
For Eternity

Thoughts
Of the Holy One
His attributes
His Character
Praising Him
Desires of Truth
Purify your heart

Your heart
Will be released
Of the burdens
Of life
Controlling
Possessing
Your desires

Freedom emerges
Soaring high
Thoughts
Captivated
By the One

Joy inexplicable
Life with Christ

Sharing Our Lives

My heart’s desire
Is to be close to Christ
But Sometimes it gets pulled
By the flesh
Shifting under the skin
It draws to those desires
That feed myself
Hiding subcutaneously
In my innermost being
Until questions are asked
That bring pondering
Then Light filters in
Looking beyond the cells
To microscopic things
Seeing how my behaviors
Give insight to my heart
Revealing the impurities within
Questions that purify the heart
Come from those we share our lives with
Encouraging us to see from a different perspective
Blindspots revealed
In hindsight they are seen
Thankful for God’s grace
And those we share our lives with
The Body of Christ
This Life with Him
Growing us more Christlike
