It gives you peace yet causes chaos
it makes you trust yet lets you doubt
it makes you strong yet weakens your soul
it makes you proud yet lets you regret.

It makes people fight but eventually let go
it makes people unite but causes them sorrow
it makes people humble but it makes them boast
It makes people forgive but ends up hating  most

It makes you learn but hurts you in return
it makes you feel but lets your heart burn
it makes you dream but leaves you nightmares
it makes you joyful but leaves you broken
"The Gospel says you are more sinful and flawed than you ever dared believe, but more accepted and loved than you ever dared hope."*

Timothy Keller



"A simple mind"
Or some would say
To believe God
The Gospel way.

To think of Christ's
Redeeming blood
As "fairy tale"?
Or healing flood?

I knew it not
While in my youth
Oh! How I wish
I'd known the TRUTH!

I was in darkness,
I'll attest,
My father is
An atheist.

But I was rescued!
I received!
I heard the Gospel
And BELIEVED!

I know there's naught
That can be said
To those who God
Has left for dead.

How deep depraved
And sure of death
Are those who sin
Unto last breath

How blessed are those
Who seek His face
For tho they've sinned
They're saved by Grace.

He freely held
His hand to give
He freely died
That YOU might LIVE.

That you receive
Is what I pray,
Then you will know

The Gospel Way.

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." Romans 3:23,24

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever should believe in him would not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16

The gospel is simply this. Jesus was born of the ******. He had no sin. He committed no sin during his life. Therefore he was perfect in every way. The only person who could be sacrificed, and whose blood could cover our sins. The only way he could live a sinless life was because He is God himself. He was brutally beaten and crucified. For, in order for our sins to be covered, there had to be the shedding of blood. But not just any blood... Perfect blood.Then his body was *buried* (like a SEED). THEN RESURRECTED TO NEW LIFE! Jesus did this freely. As a gift to you... Eternal life through his sacrifice. And Father God gave us His Son. If you believe that he did this for you, if you believe the above scripture with your whole heart, then you are among the elect. You are justified by faith. Father God no longer sees your sin, only Jesus's shed blood that covers it. It sounds simple... Because it is. For God uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise.

I'm not on site very much these days. I'm studying and serving God in other ways. But I want you to know you are all in my prayers. I think of you often even though I am not here. I want you to know that.

BLESSINGS!

Congratulations comrades, we are one
Time unfold to panacea true
Painted people's red, majestic hue
Tearing up the town, having wild fun
As riches fade to freedom for the mass
As caste falls down to equal lass and men
As communist pangea come again
As we lay on its resplendent grass
I don't know you
nor you, me
we regard each other
as mystery--

'stranger', a word
of disconnect
the other person
our mind seeks to dissect-

doubt sets in (it's an instinct)
in its train fears resurrect
(reason recedes, emotions flood
our entire being-- we are wrecked

in the sea of confusion)
what will save us is a new mindset
all encounters are opportunities
for us our humanity to beget.
Alight! Alight! Honeyed bow doth shine
Resplendent spark doth serenade the sky
As tender creatures flitting gaily by
Sight on which the saints and angels dine
An infinity in rings, hues unique
Envelop the weary world and ways
Beauty inspire worship of the rays
Shine forth from her, awesome nature freak

Cold and stormy night today
Feeling lost like everyday
Lost inside my empty mind
Completly blind
Thinking of my lovely past
With something crawling up my chest
Another creature of the night
Another feeling of his bite
The skin is white the bones are sore
I cant take it anymore
Trapped inside my crazy mind
Demon waits and sits behind
Watching me and guarding me
You are not going anywhere u see
Oh yes just another cold and stormy night again.
a wavy sea is my heart now
when you are in my shore

love is a tide

I am drawn to the strenght of your shots
either come to me or go

It will come soon.
When joy is etched on my skin
And death will tremble when I laugh
Because the devil cannot tease me anything anymore
For I would want nothing from him.
Written on 27 April 2017 at the height of my anxiety.

I linger here in this intense rapture
chasing fireflies I cant ever capture
warped in dark by my unfortunate nature
I am durable
I'll endure this danger
swallowing the words of a volatile stranger;
It's never enough
sanctioning this fixation is my curse
craving for concession with the patience of a saint
a sense of freedom is my only restraint
