"discipleship" poems
Their humble characteristics are recognizable,
with a lifestyle lacking excess and opulence;
familiar with the idea of “sowing and reaping”,
they know their actions always have consequence.
Apostles of Christ examine ways of Kingdom building,
and are not tied to one specific church location,
for their daily needs are not hierarchically-based.
They avoid wants of gratuitous, personal recognition.
Operating with a pure heart, free of lust for things,
they live a simple life, without concealed agendas;
speaking The Word intelligibly, over all situations,
they promote the Kingdom without unholy propaganda.
They understand the functionality of wealth and money,
but are not motivated by King Midas’ golden greed.
Instead they lay down their lives for the Gospel,
with a servant’s heart, that’s reflective of His seed
which was been planted deep within their inner soul.
Not concerned with their reputations, they serve those
wanting to mature and grow into their identity in Christ,
while overcoming the ongoing pangs of spiritual throes.
The Apostles of Christ demonstrate a divine influence,
pushing the members of The Body in finding real purpose.
They also teach others how to develop an intimate walk
with God, in a relationship that goes beyond the surface.
Since their spiritual and psychological needs are met,
Apostles of Christ can endure periods of great hardship.
Their souls remain satisfied with God’s holy Presence
and they joyfully train The Body in areas of discipleship.

I promise You
I'm going to
Live
By who You are today,
Paint
With the colors of Your promises,
Jump rope
To the music of purpose in my heartbeat,
And weigh
The value of Your steadfast love.
Steady
Is the last thing I want to be
For You.
I can carry my paint,
My jumprope,
And my scale to
Every
Wretched
Corner
Of this world
Just to prove
To every living soul
That You're more than just
A hero in a storybook.

"The best way to be responsible is to be discipled."

Inborn debauchery...sea-swilled communion received...
hung over and over in discipleship.
All's nigh, charged airy pour to date A.D., to tire of
personhood.
Finding the soul's panoramic view insufferable.
Forward motion lugs gluttony--lethargic with figuring.
Hunger's recitative plea has completed the mind's
mockup.
There's twitch and hallucination amongst common
ground--upon which, what was exchanged?
Do tell and do tell...told by the lot cast, as yet to
settle.
Billions cry to sleep--to rise the hardwon face...gaming.
Their sheets serpentine folds retain shadows as light
reinstates its presumption upon them.
Our emergence we day into draws back the flesh as
needle's eye through...we, with such nobility
Kingdoms branch in a single act.

Have I loved enough,
Have I denied myself?
Have I ducked the responsibility
That comes with so much grace?
Is mine a cost worth counting?
Is mine a cross worth lifting?
Have I reduced my discipleship
To a too comfortable pace?
Lord, I'm tired of this highway
With its crowded lanes and tolls to pay.
Let me live your love without speed limits
Along your narrow way.

we are not friends.
well at least for me,
we just know each other.
we are acquaintances,
exchanging hellos
when deemed necessary.
we smile sometimes
so we wouldn't seem snob,
or just tell ourselves
to look away.
we try to joke around
every single time
we stumble upon each other.
we are awkward.
we don't know
when to greet
and when not to.
i only see you
through stolen glances
or from far away.
but when i look at you
i cant deny that
you always offer to serve.
you play the drums,
and always amaze me.
every week, almost all
notice your improvement.
more than thrice
we have shared the rooftop
for personal discipleship
in unusual times.
and it makes me smile
to see you lead people
and draw them closer
to the Only One.
you are funny.
your posts make me laugh.
and believe me,
you got me there.
you look beautifully rugged.
your physique -
lean, and strong.
my idea of you
is my preferences
personified.
your heart to serve,
you playing drums,
you're funny, rugged
and loves my Savior.
but the truth is,
i find delight
in the fact that
we are not friends.
because maybe
i am scared
of who you might be
in reality.
because maybe
i am afraid that
you are not what
i thought you to be.
i don't know but
i think i'm not ready.
i'm not ready
to discover your truths.
please, not now.
don't let me know
you deeper and
feel close to you.
stay away from me,
for a little while.
just wait for me.
wait until my heart
has finally built
the fence and brought up
its own defenses.
wait until my heart is ready,
wait until my Lover
tells me so.

Slandered
Without evidence;
Possessed
By seven demons.
Delivered
Into discipleship;
She didn't
Betray nor deny Christ;
Neither fled from
Garden, cross nor grave.
But the first
To herald His resurrection.

My life is a piece of unmolded clay sitting on a wheel. I am not sure where I will go or what I will be. I sit patiently and wait for my life to take shape. With each passing day I seek to learn more. I study and pray for guidance. In each moment I strive to be better, looking forward to the day when I am complete. As Jesus slowly molds me, through his spirit and discipleship, I am becoming a worthy vessel for his habitation, as I am shaped by the potters hands.
