SIGNS

7/15/10
WHEN THE STORM RAGES
AND THE BODY WREAKS WITH PAIN
THE SOUL CHOOSES TO NO LONGER GO ON
YOU REALIZE THAT YOU ARE FIGHTING GOD
AND YOU WILL NOT WIN!

HE STEPS BEFORE YOU
AND SEES YOUR WEAKENED, STRAINED CONDITION
IS THERE PITY?
SHOULD THERE BE
FOR AFTER ALL YOU ARE FIGHTING HIM
HE STANDS AND WAITS
HE WAITS
HE WAITS FOR YOU TO COME TO THE END
OF YOURSELF

DO YOU TRULY BELIEVE THAT YOU DID A GOOD DEED
IN DAYS PAST
AND SO THE PERSECUTION WOULD NOT COME
AND IF IT DID COME
SURELY, HIS HAND WOULD STAY THE ENEMY?
AND YET,
DO YOU SEE THE BLOOD SHED AT CALVARY?

THERE IS A MIGHTY COST
FOR SPEAKING, REVEALING TRUTH
TO THIS DEPRAVED WORLD
BUT SPEAK IT
FOR YOU SEE
IF YOU DON’T
IF YOU WON’T
YOU WOULD CRUMBLE AND SIMPLY DIE

YOU FIGHT THIS GOD
WHO WOULD NOT PROTECT YOU
YOU FIGHT HIM IN A WAR WHICH IS NOT FAIR
WHY ISN’T IT FAIR?
HE ALWAYS WINS
YOU KNOW THAT
BUT YOU STRUGGLE TO PROVE THAT YOU’RE BETTER OFF
WITHOUT HIM
SO YOU EMBRACE DEMONS AS COMPANY
BUT TELL ME, MEL
ARE THEY GOOD COMPANY
OR DO THEY LITERALLY DRIVE YOU CRAZY?

YOU’RE NOT ALONE AS YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE
THE FATHER WAITS
HE STANDS AND WAITS
FOR YOU TO RETURN
HE WAITS FOR HIS FAVORED SON
TO SEE
AS HE SEES
HE WAITS FOR YOU
HIS LOVE HAS NOT ABATED
YOU HAVE NOT EXHAUSTED HIS EXPANSE OF COMPASSION
HE KNOWS YOU
HE KNOWS YOUR PLIGHT
HE KNOWS YOUR PAIN
HE KNOWS THE WAR YOU RAGE
HE KNOWS IT ALL
AND HE WAITS . . .

I’VE BEGUN A NEW PAGE
FOR THOSE LIKE YOU
WHO ARE NOT SECURE
ARE NOT SAFE
ARE STILL AT WAR
WITH THIS ONE WHO WENT TO CALVARY

REACH OUT
ONCE MORE
HE’LL MEET YOU

YOU CAN’T STAND ON YOUR OWN
YOU CAN’T MAKE IT ALONE
YOU WERE MADE FOR HIM
DON’T LET THE PAIN DRIVE YOU TO THE ENEMY OF YOUR SOUL
CATCH A BREATH
THE BREATH FROM GOD
AND REMEMBER THOSE MOMENTS
OF HIS TOUCH
AND KNOW
THAT YES, THE PEOPLE OF THIS WORLD
WILL HANG YOU ON A CROSS
BUT THE ONE WHO HUNG FOR YOU
IS WHOLLY YOUR GOD
YOUR FRIEND
YOUR SAVIOR
THE ONE WHO PROMISES TO SET YOU FREE
FROM ALL EVIL
AND
FROM YOURSELF

PRAYING FOR YOU ALWAYS
WHY?
I KNOW GOD’S POWER TO DELIVER
AND SET FREE
AND I KNOW HOW HE LOVES YOU

let go

of the riches

the fame

the past

the future

all hope

but that which is found in God

so that you might embrace Him

you cannot embrace Him

unless you let go of all else
The Accomplice


OH HOW HE LOVES YOU!

no more games
no more sweeping denials
no more raging bursts
no more death
simply no more death

“I am the Resurrection and the Life . . .”

NOW  YOU MUST
BELIEVE

___
1 Samuel 16
That for which torments you CAN be removed
No amount of harp playing will soothe you anymore
No amount of money, fame, possessions, adventures will bring back
all that you have lost
for you have lost your very heart and soul
There is only ONE who can remove all that torments
and RESTORE your heart and soul
ONLY ONE
HE WAITS FOR SHEER REPENTANCE
HE WAITS . . .
BUT
KNOW
THAT
YOU
WON’T
LAST
MUCH
LONGER

You’ve done it before
You must do it again
CRY
FREEDOM
