What is the full depth of my inner soul? How far does it fall short of infinity, given the known limits of my being human? Can all of the crevices, cracks, fissures, scissures and abyss of the empty places in my soul be filled when I desire Your Presence to consume every void of my existence? While complaining, gossiping, and rage can grieve Your Holy Spirit, I’m only posing these questions… to expand my understanding. I’m thankful that You will never run out of forgiveness, patience, love and grace. Walking blind in the carnality of the flesh will keep me as a pathetic, miserable Christian. As one of Your sons, I’ve embraced Your principles while striving towards my spiritual maturity. On many occasions, I’ve tasted small portions of Your eternal Peace, Joy and Righteousness. Continue to gently lead me by Your Holy Spirit, so that the empty places… have no sway over me. . . . Author Notes: Loosely based on: Eph 3:16-19, 4:30-31; 1 Thes 5:19; John 14:23; Rom 8:8-14; Deu 10:13 Learn more about me and my poetry at: http://amzn.to/1ffo9YZ By Joseph J.

Poem: Empty Places
What is the full depth of my inner soul? How far does it fall short of infinity, given the known limits of my being human?

While complaining, gossiping, and rage can grieve Your Holy Spirit, I’m only posing these questions… to expand my understanding. I’m thankful that You will never run out of forgiveness, patience, love and grace. Walking blind in the carnality of the flesh will keep me as a pathetic, miserable Christian. As one of Your sons, I’ve embraced Your principles while striving towards my spiritual maturity. On many occasions, I’ve tasted small portions of Your eternal Peace, Joy and Righteousness.
