it’s so easy to say
THIS is why I feel like I do
THIS is what someone did
not realizing
it’s the enemy
planning offense to be taken
so you’ll walk away
from family
from friends
from self
from God
dividing what’s become
into isolation
creating an army
because he doesn’t HAVE one
of his own
there’s much more good than evil
but YOU decide which to focus on
so many people offended
by bathrooms
by prayer dates
as if we need a “day” to pray
look beyond the bathrooms
into the hearts
do you realize
people are changing into
who they want to be
because who they are
isn’t right to them
can you imagine
not loving yourself the way you are
so intently
that you have a surgery to change
finding identity in labels
gender
religion
addiction
label
after
label
instead of in Him
do you think Jesus died
for only those…
do you think He died
for everyone but…
oppression: mental pressure or distress
remember who the enemy is
look past the restroom
look past the calendar
and declare the victory
that’s been won
life’s too long
to care what others think
precious moments wasted
on few opinions
when judgment comes
it’ll be from God
HIS thoughts only matter Continue reading
what does it matter
what man thinks of me
what does it matter
who stands by my side
the Man Who died for me
stands inside of me
and never lets me walk alone
and never walks away
so with that truth to know
why does it still matter Continue reading
Nothing has the power to hurt me
Nothing has the power to offend me
Nothing has the power to control me
unless I let it
Yesterday, on my walk to meet Lee, I thought about life, about if one person can really make a difference in this world, if reaching one person was enough. Lately, God’s been speaking to me about how it was important to leave the ninety-nine to find the one. Even the other night, when Scott took us out to dinner, he parked in space ninety-nine. I was listening. God is always talking to us, we just need to remember to listen.
As I walked up to where Lee was sitting, a young man from the other direction approached, too. As he grew nearer, he said, “It’s time for our visit.” He had a violin, which totally excited me. His name was Anthony. Lee moved to the ground, I sat in the chair, and Anthony sat on the other side and pulled out his violin. When he found out who I was, he was very excited. He said I was well talked about and said he was hoping to meet me someday. Then, he began to play. Continue reading
