Glass House

What is kept in secret is bound to destroy. What is exposed is fated to bring about only freedom. So I begin this blog, these series of letters and notes to myself and God, to bring about a transparency that I have not yet accomplished. These words reveal my heart, they reveal my passions and my greatest strengths, but they also shed light on what I'd rather keep in the dark. I am weak, feeble, undeserving of this Grace that has beset me. And yet, I remain. Even in this dishevel that has become my life I have found favor in my God's eyes. My desire is to please Him and only Him. So may these following posts be testimony to how I desire to live and whether or not my decisions follow that desire. God Bless...

Our Fame is Our Death

In their righteousness is found ignorance. In their purity is found deception. How do those set on your heart miss the point? How is it that the small have been basked in your light? That the weak have understood strength? Is your kingdom that backwards? Are you so mysterious that even your wisest are put to shame? Oh, that I might be forever lowly! Never allow me to grow an inch! If I increase my destruction follows close behind. If I am destined for greatness I am destined to fail. Have we, in all these years, not yet learned where all glory is due? If we, even in the slightest, seek our own cause, our own fame we have set our death. Foolish generation! When will you learn? Your value is that of the sand and yet you parade around like diamonds. Oh, Famous One! Humble us, your children. We are nothing without you. We are without purpose or reason, without guidance or direction, without love or hope! Humble us, Oh God! We exist to glorify you! There is nothing else. -Consumed

And again

It's been a second... again. I have trouble keeping this going. My desires for entertainment, comfort and my own lazy complacency eat at my diligence. But of course, the intention is always there. The intention to write, to read, to study and immerse myself in His goodness is always present but what is intention without action? It's worthless. I need to stop beating myself down. It's proven fruitless after years of hoping it would instill discipline. Turns out it just tames your inner voice to belittle your already struggling soul. So now I've got two fronts to fight. But enough on that. COVID-19 has provided me with an opportunity to take many a moment and think. I have a lot more time lately, time to spend with family, time to unwind, and time to write. I've taken advantage of the first two, but for the past decade I've been ignoring a tug for the third. I've been given a gift to write, to turn words into poetry, my own interpretation on the art. And I e...

Inspire

Inspire me please. Delve into the depths of me and stir till I am too undone to move. I need inspiration. Prompt me to better things! Oh please show me, give me, reveal in me the glory of it all, the purpose, the reason, the passion that remains untapped. My tongue feels useless, my hands are numb. I've lost feeling in these toes and my every next step is only a stumble. My next words are only babble and what I've written has produced what in me? A gift beyond and yet a gift unseen, unfelt, unknown. My love is but a flicker and this warmth has fled from my being. I am craving something new, something better than who I am. My every second feels fleeting... I've never known how quickly time runs from you until now. I need rebirth, I need new life. Fatigue has overcome me again and if He had blessed me with better ducts my words here would surely be smudged. I am no man... I am no child... No, I have become my own creation, my own work of depravity.  Am I to lose in this life?...
