and Jesus denying me

“Closer than Real”
I like having friends
I don’t have to perform for
just being in their presence
is enough
just being me
is enough
sometimes not even talking
just being
there for them
there for me
there for Him
to do what He does
through friendships
“Glued Back Together”
Satan has his way
in broken homes

“Out in the Open”
is there anywhere really safe
to be yourself
and grow
without people attempting
to form you
to mold you
into what they believe
your shape should be
is there anywhere really safe
to open up
and rest
in where you are
in where you’ve been
in where you’re going
as you step into
what God has in store
the only safe place
is inside His heart
and everywhere I go
He’s with me
molding me
forming me
into His image
of love

to one who died Continue reading
“Invisible View”
some people only want to read joy

life lived without pretending
will have more than one emotion
an open heart is free
to cry
to laugh
to enjoy
to contemplate
to rejoice
to reach out
to reach in
not everyone opens up
not everyone judges
not everyone condemns
not everyone loves
the way God loves
“Backfire”
lie in wait
lie and wait
darkness waits
to breathe lies
a wind of nonsense
that makes sense
somehow Continue reading
