There is a hole
In everyone
We all need God
Ahmad Cox Aug 2012
The warmth of the sun
Shines on all our hearts

The light
Is there
Seeing it
Is the
Hard part

Accepting the truth
Can be as simple as
Accepting yourself

Unveiled riches await
They await in our hearts
We just have to know
How to access them
We tend to focus
So much on the physical
On the material
Focusing on money
And material wealth
That we tend to neglect
Our spiritual gifts
And our spiritual treasures
Sharing our riches with others
Who might not have
As many riches as we do
Sharing ourselves with others
Until our hearts are bursting
And overflowing
With kindness
With mercy
With love
Its when
We have
Found
These gifts
And when
We are willing
To share them with
Openly and honestly
That we will have truly
Unveiled the greatest riches of all

Another adopted metaphor

Sometimes
God can
Demonstrate
Redemption
We walk
Through this life
With our hearts
Hidden
Turning away
From the light
But through everything
God demonstrates his redemption everyday
He wants us
To return to him
Being redeemed
Living our lives
Becoming white
Washing away
Everything that was *****
Being redeemed
By God's glow
By God's love
By God's truth
We can demonstrate
Redemption
In our own lives
If we are willing
To accept it

By God

This is an adopted metaphor

Sometimes we can get scared
Letting life's fears
Consume us
Getting stuck in fears
Stuck in doubt
Stuck in a rut
We can move away from fear
Stop being scared
Living life fully
Living completely
Moving away from the doubts
Moving away from the fears
Being a little less scared
And embracing life fully.
