Redemption… (part 3)

May 25, 2019May 25, 2019 Mark Wayne

We search for redemption and forgiveness in the quiet moments of the days that make up our very lives.

And when we find it we are set free from the chains that bind us and the obligations that smother the fires that from our hearts burn so bright.

Redemption… (part 2)

May 24, 2019May 24, 2019 Mark Wayne

Is there enough forgiveness for sins repeated? While searching for redemption and we kept messing up despite our good intentions.

Life, Poetry

We search for the things we believe we need and even deserve. Not realizing that deserve has nothing to do with it for if we truly got what we deserve we could be sorely disappointed. So, we search for redemption midst the fallacy of memories, and the juxtaposition of the past and future in the chaos of the moments we live each day.

Is there GRACE when SINS are REPEATED??

May 9, 2016 Mark Wayne

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?

The Undiscovered

December 11, 2015 Mark Wayne

He dreamed of the undiscovered,
of a place that might lay beyond the distant hills.

Longing for mystery and adventure,
promised by a voice that beckoned from beyond.

She in stoic beauty stood silently by,
watching him as he quickly turned to go.

He took nothing with him and yet,
not knowing he was leaving everything behind.

He failed to count the cost of his quest,
a far too high of price that he ultimately would pay.

For he believed there were battles to fight,
and it was adventure his heart sought to find.

He did not see her as she stepped aside,
letting him go for his eyes were on his believed destiny.

Blind to the true battle before him,
for he would never discover the mysteries of her heart.

Her heart beat madly within her chest,
for it was he that could have saved her from the dark.

Where does your true adventure lie, are you missing the truth for want of something else? Lord, help us to truly see the beauty and glory in front of us. May you see the adventure that waits for you and pursue with all your heart.

For Today and Tomorrow

July 6, 2015 Mark Wayne

You are right where you should be
In this moment
For today and tomorrow
No one could fill your purpose
It is yours alone
For today and tomorrow
You are right where you should be

imPOSSIBLE

June 24, 2015 Mark Wayne

Drawing on the imPOSSIBLE

imPOSSIBLE – hope still clings
imPOSSIBLE – love still sings
imPOSSIBLE – kindness has things
imPOSSIBLE – compassion has wings

Living in the imPOSSIBLE

imPOSSIBLE – defeats all sin
imPOSSIBLE – power will begin
imPOSSIBLE – joy reigns again
imPOSSIBLE – grace will win

For nothing is impossible,
just believe all things are,
POSSIBLE!
