2012.
you are here after all. I thought somehow we would not see you. But here you are in all your glory!
A fresh breath of air has filled the space of these lungs and a newness of hope has wiped the old future aside. its a thing that the hand of God can bring to a broken soul. HOPE!! real hope that staggers your mind and yet it can not be denied. Hope like this.
Yet the people of God i can see are the first to cast their mockery at His name. they doubt Him and say things that no one who loved another would utter even in secret. there is no love found for the Lord among those who profess to be His own. HOW!!!
I wonder how much longer we can grieve the spirit and still pretend to be more that liars. How much longer we can put on this facade and point fingers at hypocrites. How much longer can we ignore the stench of our souls and the obvious squalor of our minds. How much longer will we play the fool in a game that is one of life and death!!
death is real and almost tangible. it dwells in us when our conscience is seared little by little. and death is a patient very patient. he takes his time is stealing away the things we hold dear. he lulls us to sleep and snatches things away from us when we need them the most. Like a loan shark who just never comes around to collect when things are going alright. he only remembers you when you get laid off and the mortgage is pending. the kids need to be in school and your mama is sick... Only then does death reveal that he was here all along.
Oh people of God.. arise and shine. stop telling all these lies... stop believing all the lies!!
