If anyone is in Christ

He is a new creation


They are restored and cleansed

And they have access to new strength

Sin is strong

But greater is he living in me

Then he is living in me then he who is in the world
Caleb John Sep 2019
There's rest

When every ounce of my strength doesn't come from me

It's peaceful in these storms

I'm not anxious anymore

I just want to seek your face

I just want to know you

I want to see you

I love this peace you give

Thank you

I may stand alone

I may die and no one will ever know the sacrifice I gave

But my Father, who is with me

Will know

That I gave it all

To love him with all of my heart

And to fight for what's right

How can you defend your wife if all it takes is a push to knock you out of the picture?

How can you can you show your children to walk in the ways of God if you don't show them your strength and love?

How can boys become men if they don't learn to run up the highest mountains and dive into the deepest oceans?

Show your wife you will fight for her with the strength of a lion

Show your children that they were made for more then this

Show them Gentleness and wisdom

Show them patience and grace

Yet be courageous when the need be

No more Mr. Nice Guy

Just chasing highs

Spending time until the clock ticks by

We just keep chasing pleasures and treasures

None of it matters

When will America stop wasting their youth on drugs and ***

When will we learn to study the words of wisdom

To remember the precepts of old

Of honor

Respect

Strength

Passion

Yet lawful

Selfless

Protective

Productive

An end to this useless taste
Caleb John Sep 2019
Used to protect

Sharp

Shining

Fierce

Can pierce the hearts of men

Yet preserve them

Poetry all over the screens

So much sadness

Where is the hope?

Through all the bottles and feelings

Depression, addiction and where do we look for hope?

This life isn't enough for anyone

So why do we keep seeking hope in our addictions?

We're just a society of insanity

So when will it all stop?

When will we see our mindlessness?

Maybe we're just too busy writing poems
