Divine� Symbol

 

He is the hope of our future generations, our hope for humanity.  †Jesus is our divine symbol, our savior to † God, without the thorns He wore so gracefully upon His head; He is but just a man.            

 

There comes a time when we must see the truth.  Our Life is ‘what it is’ “but one Life”.  Be grateful; accept this for what it is.

 

When the family is lacking in money & material things… just remember, we more-than-make-up-for-it’ in love and unity.  No earthly fortunes can compare to what we have - love of Life, and our beautiful family ‘natural and extended’ on Earth and in † Heaven. 

 

Trials and tribulations ‘at times’ may seem to take you from this world as you know it.  Turn to Him who is all† holy, He will right your every wrong.  Your ‘one and only’ true refuge is with-in † Jesus' heart.

 

He grants us ‘No Warranty of Life’

 It is one, we cannot return.

 

We struggle, in our everyday Life, with temptations that cause us to lose our sight.  We all have our weaknesses ~ devour us unto Satan they can...  in this time of redemption -  it is imperative, muster the strength, pick up ‘our broken pieces of Life’, put our hands together, and look to the sky.  It does not take but a few moments at night, on your knees in prayer, asking for help and guidance in this gift we have been blessed with ‘called Life’.  It appears ‘seldom’ do we get what we ask for…  However, we always receive ‘exactly’ what we need.

 

Fear not... what Life has in store for you.

See through the eyes of the † Lord - through his ‘set-of-lenses’…

Know it to be true; with † God by your side, you will overcome all that confronts you…

 

Many people, foreign and domestic, hold us openly in contempt which we endure so painfully, each time offering it up to the † Father - He will pass judgment.

 

We lean on † Jesus for our healing

No matter the ‘severity' ∫ diminutive or vast.

 

Are not most of our Churches (known by name alone)…?  Missing out, on how † God intended, misplacing ‘living life between the lines of Scripture’.  Beyond this side of † Heaven, the dynamics are hard enough to comprehend, imagine our little ones, who will follow in our footsteps and let us not forget the new believers ‘who are all’ learning through us, ‘our Living† God’ - how He touches each of us. 

 

As you hold your newfound treasures - warmth of unity - joy for Life... you will feel ‘the faith of † Jesus’ spread throughout your entire body, only then - will you begin your walk with † God. 

 

Many pray for you ∫ ‘Ones’ we seldom know.

 

† God Bless

 

{Amen}

I only pray for the grace to well-live today. No matter how ominous the future we are entering may be, it still only arrives one day at a time.
Not sure what you mean by "divine symbol." Why just "symbol?"
With or without thorns, I believe Jesus is the Son of God and not "but just a man."
Many nice-sounding words and notions in your poem.

Lady Godiva, Un Bon Patriote , AMENS THIS ONE MOST READILY!

[MARIA STRELLA SAMUEL]

all i need to say is jesus gave me reason to live. Now i feel i have a purpose.
This poem is like a mirror which is reflecting your faith, fears and personality.

Life is God's gift to us, what we do with it, is our gift to God.

[Brentley]

This had impact to it, but I ask you. If you defy churches like that, what church do you call yourself.

[Emily B]

A stunning, up-lifting write.

[Barry S. Maltese]

So elequently said. You bring great verbal beauty to description of how Christ brings us to the Love of God the Father. I greatly enjoyed your lovely testimony. It was obviously inspired by your deep spirit. Fantastic work

[Charlienix]

I searched for life in many different ways until I found hope in Jesus. I am not a fool who believes any simplistic nonsense, but i do believe Jesus is who He said he is-God's very own son, our savior. I don't believe life can be easy and the "gospel of ease and prosperity" is almost sinful in leading people astray. That aside, I believe Jesus has the answers to all our deepest questions about life, our purpose and our destiny. Nice work.

What you say is so true.
Theres Two things tha I know are true- and that is that there is a God and his son died for me. What I struggle with God sees and when I fall Jesus has already forgiven me, all I have to do is say I'm down and in need of his love and its given. Written in the grains of sand with the blood of Christ is my name and my forgiveness. I'm so far from perfect it isn't funny, but I feel so loved that I can't help but tell Jesus every krazy thing about me. I need him like I need air- that will never change and churches would be wise to teach that.

Nice thoughts that reflect the widening gap between the spiritually minded "sheep" and the corporate-franchised-prosperity-gospel "shepherds.

The message of Jesus Christ was, in his own words, the Law of Love. Even if you strip away the fancy clothes, big screen TVs, and the "believe and receive" mantra of today's megachurches, you won't find that message anymore. As you say, it is misplaced.

The Law of Love lives in hearts, and is preached through good deeds. Jesus said every tree is known by it's fruitage.

Amen, sister, Tristan
