INFINITY
Joseph Fernandez Jul 2022
To the human mind that is intimately unfamiliar with the concept of forever.
Striving for this elusive concept is a baffling endeavor.

Are things not naturally understood, nonexistent?
Things that our minds cannot perhaps reach, that are just too far distant?

The range of certain facts  that are at present conceivable by only its designer.
May to us be complicated, but to him only a matter that is very minor.

Subjects not comprehended, perhaps taking an infinite time frame to understand?
However having a complete grasp of every detail at present, is not something he currently decrees by strict command.

Instead of being preoccupied with an insatiable goal to discover what the future will hold for endless days…?
No doubt our limited time and wisdom is best utilized in his confidence, so that he may receive our deepest worthy praise.



J.I.F.



Jeremiah 17:7

7 Blessed is the man who puts his trust in Jehovah, Whose confidence is in Jehovah. 8 He will become like a tree planted by the waters, That sends out its roots to the stream. He will not notice when heat comes, But his leaves will always flourish. And in the year of drought he will not be anxious, Nor will he quit producing fruit.

1 John 2:17
17 Furthermore, the world is passing away and so is its desire, but the one who does the will of God remains forever.

Psalms 37:29

29 The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it.

IMITATION EMPATHY
Joseph Fernandez Apr 2021
Must hide my true intentions, these I must at all cost conceal to stay covert.
Perhaps I'll play the roll of the shy introvert?

I'll tell you that everyone is so mean to me, and that I'm constantly in pain.
I'll play up I'm a victim for your sympathy to gain.
Then behind your back I'll run you over like a 100 mile per hour freight train!

My true colors I must keep hidden.
Otherwise everyone will know who I am deep within, their darkest ever, evil villain.

No one more important than I!
All the rest disgusting maggots!
Their unimportant emotions deserving of being pummeled by a thousand heavy mallets!

Haha! You stupid thing, you don’t know what I plan to do?
My goal, to make you feel severe pain that you never expected, that you never knew!

I am very convincing as having sentiment.
But eventually will squash your happiness, like a six ton angry elephant!

I will manipulate the game so as to get my sadistic fill for just a bit more.
Then level you, by letting loose my twisted mental imagination, opening wide my insanity’s door.

It’s a fact, sociopaths are capable of only imitation empathy.
The only defense from one is total avoidance, please remember this warning, it’s for your own peaceful sanity...

Too much time has passed that you shouldn’t have let go by.
Pain has held you back, that came from those destroyed places deep down, that made you cry.

It’s not fare for you to continue this way!
If you don’t stop your heart will ultimately rot from decay!

Waiting till life hurts no more to live again, is like existing in a world that is not real or childishly pretend…
Yes, zealous action is needed for you to mend.
No worries, it’s worth every ounce of energy that you will expend.
Up to you to be your very worst enemy, or your very good friend?

Moving forward, after so long, it at first may actually seem
counter-productive.
However when you do, things will steadily get incredibly constructive.

It’s now your move, so wait no more!
It’s time for you to open that many years long shut door.
Like a lion in the jungle you are free, and it is your time to roar!
Because,
YOU JUST CAN’T (WAIT) TILL LIFE DOESN’T HURT ANYMORE!


J.I.F.
Joseph Fernandez Oct 2023
When you don't have a faithfilled futureistic outlook forward, the distant past is what is instead entertained.
Yesteryear temporarily helps distract and ease the here and now, of our distorted mirror picture frame.

Many today try their best to look back with fondness, to a time perhaps filled with more pleasant and youthful memories.
In this unfortunate fallen world, you’re young only once, then the former days of life are unreachably gone, when it exuded what appeared to be endless energies…

Events that are then absent, are what seem more dependable.
I suspect the compounding reason why, is because things all around us every day are becoming more and more reprehensible…

Looking forward to the time when the future is the place we will with total delight and confidence focus, instead of the long lost past…
Is it possible there will ever be a time like this, when every next day, will be even brighter than the last?

Will the future ever, everyday be a better time with added endless possibilities?
Will we ever experience the sky’s limitless limit, when we’ll have boundless God given strength, and everlasting capabilities?

Yes! This will be the time when nostalgia itself will be a thing of the forgotten past.
When we no longer have any need to cling to what currently, does not last...



J.I.F.



Revelation 21:3,4
3 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

Job 33:25
25 Let his flesh become fresher than in youth; Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor.

Isaiah 65:21-25
They will build houses and live in them, And they will plant vineyards and eat their fruitage.  22 They will not build for someone else to inhabit, Nor will they plant for others to eat.  For the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, And the work of their hands my chosen ones will enjoy to the full.  23 They will not toil for nothing, Nor will they bear children for distress, Because they are the offspring made up of those blessed by Jehovah, And their descendants with them.  24 Even before they call out, I will answer; While they are yet speaking, I will hear.  25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together, The lion will eat straw just like the bull, And the serpent’s food will be dust. They will do no harm nor cause any ruin in all my holy mountain,” says Jehovah.

Psalm 37:10,11,29
10 Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more; You will look at where they were, And they will not be there.
11 But the meek will possess the earth, And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.

29 The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it.



Isaiah 65:22b
Days of a tree,

Some trees live for thousands of years.
Can we see, with our minds eye, the idea that Jehovah is implanting within us?

FEAR vs LOVE
Joseph Fernandez Mar 2020
Darkness falls and life goes black,
Fear sets in like an imminent heart attack!

All around things seem so pandemic,
Fears spread like an out of control epidemic...

Supply’s are running out and scarce are the necessities,
No time to think of any comforting amenities...

Just then light breaks through from the heavens above,
Peace descends as a innocent dove...

Yes his hope comes our direction by way of accurate information,
Helping us move with the proper inclination...

Yes in the end all fears lose to the love of his goodness,
His kingdom then enters in with its complete fullness...


J.I.F.

Luke 21:26

People will become faint out of fear and expectation of the things coming upon the inhabited earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

Romans 8:31

What, then, are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who will be against us?
Joseph Fernandez Nov 2021
Each morning when I rise, another fresh new day is born right in front of my eyes.

Yesterday’s worries admittedly for a bit did take me away.
Today, those large obstacles causing anguish are insignificant, as dust from a smashed potters clay.

Yes sometimes our worries may momentarily cause us to drift.
But then a new day starts, and once again he gives us that unmerited gentle lift.
Yes, we all do well to always remember, each day from him, is another undeserved gift.


J.I.F.

Romans 3:23,24
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,  24 and it is as a free gift that they are being declared righteous by his undeserved kindness through the release by the ransom paid by Christ Jesus.

James 6:23
For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.

Lamentations 3:22,24
It is because of Jehovah’s loyal love that we have not come to our finish, For his mercies never end.  23 They are new each morning; your faithfulness is abundant.

NO MORE TEARS
Joseph Fernandez Jan 2020
Why am I not able to cry anymore?
Doesn’t even help if I slam myself down to the floor...

How will they be loosed those million other tears I have trapped inside?
The ones that have said no more, this is enough! We for now must just run and hide...

Please tell me when this excruciating chapter will end, and the new beginning will come?
And where did all these pounding boulders of emotionless pain arrive from?

Will my sentiments forever continue dry as dust?
Will my heart one day crumble as thousand year old rust?

These are the things I think about daily.
And genuine smiles are something that come only very rarely...

No more tears, how I do wish I had at least one.
But no matter how hard I try, I still have none...

LIFES PITY BANK
Joseph Fernandez Feb 2020
All tears I’ve reluctantly saved.
My account of life reflects a balance, that clearly indicates I’m still deep pains slave.

To each his own plight, this is the reality we each must face.
Still collectively we endeavor to strategize collectively, although individual members of this broken human race.

The more we try to manipulate the incoherence of our battered time.
The more we realize, in the span of our whisper of life, there is mostly no rhythm, nor rhyme.

Life’s leprous dividends of anguish who truly understands, and will subtract them absolutely in our end?
Not a one of us, only he, this we all oh so deeply fully comprehend.

Everyday we add ever-more drops of agony to the debt of our personal pity bank.
In his mercy we have faith, a permanently blotting out, to a complete blank!


J.I.F.


Matthew 18:37

37 Moved with pity at this, the master of that slave let him off and canceled his debt.

Psalm 51:1

Show me favor, O God, according to your loyal love. Blot out my transgressions according to your great mercy.

Psalm 72:13

13 He will have pity on the lowly and the poor, And the lives of the poor he will save.  

Psalm 90:9

9 Our days ebb away because of your fury; And our years come to an end like a whisper.

Mark 1:40,41

40 There also came to him a *****, pleading with him even on bended knee, saying to him: “If you just want to, you can make me clean.”  41 At that he was moved with pity, and he stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him: “I want to! Be made clean.”

Psalm 56:8
8 You keep track of my wandering. Do collect my tears in your skin bottle. Are they not recorded in your book?
