Seek Glory

Do we forgive and seek good? Do we look inside our hearts and ask God, 'What can I do to make this world a better place? Am I part of healing?

Seek glory

 

Looking for the glory, finding beautiful colors.

Oh, that our hearts would remain exceptional.

Growth comes from soil of life lying open.

 

World cries for beauty finding good in others

No stony heart but a soul malleable

Lend an ear, caring given.

 

Can we paint glitter across our culture?

Pray that we do not grow incorrigible.

Stay open to life jewels of inspiration?

 

Sunshine warmth cuddles into love’s feathers.

Then we can accept the gift invincible.

Is love the act extended, a wrong forgiven?

 

Of others, of this world, are we Lovers?

Let us bend as those sculpted of clay, Pliable

To find mirroring here among us as in heaven.

There are two types of people in this world; the creators and the destroyers. The creators are artists, writers, sculptors, builders, teachers, philosophers and poets with vision and beauty in their hearts and minds. The destroyers are children of darkness, ignorance and hatred intent on destroying what they cannot understand or create; seeking out every opportunity to undermine the creative, educational and beautiful in our world. They are murderers, rapists, thieves and monsters, raging about, seeking whom they might destroy. When I think of God, I automatically first think of The Creator and when I read in scripture that mankind was created in the image of God, I think first, of man's ability to create. No other animal has such wonderful power to bring forth beauty as that of the human being. But if God is the Creator there can be no doubt as to the father of the destroyer; his evil hoof prints mark and mar the history of mankind. I enjoyed this lovely poem. You are obviously a daughter of the Light. Bless, F.

Fabian G. Franklin,
Thanks and thanks again for you kindly review. You know iv'e not felt like writing as much as usual and kind of had to make myself get back to it. I like how you gave a picture, an explanation of your own feelings about the design of life and humanity at its best. To give encouragement as you have done is a terrific thing and again thank you very much. I wish your self and family health of mind, body and soul.

a beautiful, powerful prayer in your words. i say prayer because would be good for us to recite this each night or day. are we part of the problem or part of the solution? we can be faithless hypocrites. a wonderful reminder. memorable words with a powerful wake-up call. ... :)

Pete,
I suppose any of us can examine our own inner hearts and motives to find what is there, how we really feel about the world around us. Life is lived from the inside out and it is actually an effort of love of love to seek good, see good. It is work sometimes but it is better than the alternative which is not what is good for the whole of our country. I could continue but this is good for a start I guess. Bless you today, this Independence Day. Pray against the darkness.
In Christ Jesus the Savior of the world,
Kathy

Hi there Ron,
So nice to see your face and receive a few uplifting words. I'll take what I can get. The last five months have been kind of heavey with media, virus and politics. Just trying to stay centered and above the good -ball- ness. You take care now.
Blessings to you sir.

Your beautiful thoughts here Kathy, remind me of the huge numbers of people who have tried to make a positive difference for those struggling in these days of covid. So many groups have been set up to help the elderly, the disabled, the vulnerable and lonely. It has been heart warming. And then there are the others who join a peaceful demonstration and turn it into a riot because their agenda is anything but peaceful. Fortunately the latter are in the minority, but sadly their destruction stays in the mind longer. That's where my mind wandered as I engaged with your truly poetic lines. Hope you are well. Keep safe.

Christine,
Yes you are so right on about the current events given so readily by the media journalism. I wonder at the influence on the public. You are kind to extend encouragement to me as you have above. I am trying to be positive and not to be derailed at all by the foolishness. Bless you and keep you in Christ and His Grace.
