Confessions

Sometime we need to confess our darkness and repent, only then will the cracks appear that will allow the light of healing to pierce our wounded hearts. What do you need to confess? We are all in this together and need each other.

Is there GRACE when SINS are REPEATED??

Posted on May 9, 2016 by Mark

It is easy to believe in whispered lies.
As our hearts spiral downward,
a sweet poison is the penalty.
For sins repeated.
On the wings of love we can rise,
from the ashes and darkness deep.
Forgiveness for still believing the lies.

♥

So many lives lie in utter disarray and
forgotten hopes lay quietly.

Yearning for love,
to fill our empty hearts in pain.

Searching for mercy,
to fill our empty souls in need.

Passion ignites a forging of fire and
transcendent love still waits.

As our heart drums and the underworld collides
with the dawn eclipsing the dark.

Eternal brilliant rays of light shoot forth
like arms to hold our wounded hearts.

How many times are we forgiven for sins repeated? In the bible Jesus tells us to forgive 70 x 7 times, so… wouldn’t it stand to reason that God would also forgive us at least that many times? I believe he does, for he his a just and merciful God. I am thankful for this as it allows me to be the complete screw up at times that I am, or just a beautiful mess, and to keep on believing in a better future and a better me. To always try again. What do you think?

How do you Reconcile a Broken Heart?

Waiting
and watching,
the rising and setting sun.

Realizing
dawn breaks,
the nights lonely grip.

Healing
in this life,
is really never perfect.

Forgiving
painful hurts,
moving forward letting go.

Reconciling
broken hearts,
by first loving ourselves.

No Justice Only Mercy

Posted on August 21, 2014 by Mark

For judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy;
mercy triumphs over judgment. ~James 2:13

Justice is sought when feeling wronged,
Revenge is believed to be a sweet soothing balm.
“Get even!”
We are told, to mend our wounded souls.
Hearts are broken completely shattered,
As if we did not matter!
Words are carelessly spoken,
The knife in our back a remembered token,
“How could you?!”
We scream, wishing it was all a dream.
We don’t deserve this we often cry.
As we wave our clenched fist at the unfeeling sky.
There is no remedy to our jaded history,
Sometimes there is no justice only mercy.

Healing only begins when we choose to forgive and then we find that we are the one’s who are changed.

What We Deserve

Posted on March 15, 2013 by Mark

there is wrong , there is right; there is dark, there is light

there is below, there is above; there is hate, there is love

there is evil, there is good; there is shouldn’t, there is should

there is black, there is white; there is blindness, there is sight

there is fatigue, there is rest; there is worst, there is best

there is fog, there is sun; there is hell, there is heaven

««««««»»»»»

I choose the one I wish, the path leads to destruction or bliss

You hurt me then, you won’t hurt me now

I hated you then, I forgive you now

Pulling the knife from my back, I drop it to the ground

Walking silently away I will break your hold

Thankfully we often do not get what we think we deserve
