I Request from God Understanding

am I speaking to God
do i ask for myself
what request did i decide upon
all i can choose is one

out of fear should i request for forgiveness of my sins
out of love should i ask to stay by you
out of reverence should i request to hear your wisdom
no

in respect i shall request understanding
if i am able to understand my guilt i know i will be forgiven
if i am able to understand who you are i can love you as close as a brother
if i understand your teachings the wisdom the that i revere will grant itself to me

the result shall be such a greater respect than what i have now
i could not possible keep you to myself
So God may i respectfully request understanding.

The Soul Outside the Clock Defined

we who stand in time
we who walk by the seconds
fragile people, we are only human
a life may be fleeting by the clock
spanning a bridge as if it was a ruler
but an existence is immortal
immeasurable to the world
immune to the clock
this is a mortals value
this is a humans potential
here the souls span is proclaimed

i am back.

sorry for having such a long absence. i haven't been able to figure out what i should be writing about for quite some time. the previous post is the first poem that i have written and actually completed in several months if not longer.

All That I Know is in You and its All I Need

Why do you love me?

In my rejection of your mercy

In my lustful desires

And in my greed you wait for me

You tell me to come to my senses and I ask, why?

Why do you have such patience for me?

My arrogance tries to push you away

My ignorance attempts to create a gap between us

But somehow you always become a figure of strength by my side

Now I ask how?

God in your love, an endless ocean I stand

Watching the moon you created with all its serenity

And I suddenly feel at peace.

Content to let go of all that I want

Willing to forsake all the dislikes and begrudging emotions

Just to be in your light.

I turn from the moons quiet gaze

To watch the rising the sun which shuts out all other light in its brilliance

Its power that you created to give brilliance upon all lives that you created.

And I scream for joy

I am given the passion to pursue your glory and share your wisdom

I’ve lost all fear

And god I slowly lose my questioning spirit

Praising you for all that I am worth

And simply wanting to live through you

As you live in me

I turn now to the stars that remain in the dawn

And I burst into tears of ecstasy

How can I be anywhere close to sad?

You saved me from myself

You saved from the devil

You saved me from sin

All that I know now is the core you have become in my soul

All I need are the teachings that you have given me.

I am satisfied in you

Tides of Curved Lips

Smiles split empty spaces

Spread through crowded places

Creating scenes seemingly fulfilling

And yet void

Smiles of unexplained origins bring about uncertainty

For as they flit from face to face they may seem out of pace

And place on the side confusion

As though common place emotions are forgotten

And monotonous existences are never foregone

Even as such a youthful world

Burns through its young years at unrecorded speeds

And reminiscence is but faded history

Smiling faces become dust in the wind

Never sticking around for long

But always returning with patient times

Titles Belongs To Those Who Act Upon beliefs

Where is the world we seek to save?
How must we go about saving it?
I tell you now it is within our very grasp
but we cannot feel that which we struggle to separate ourselves from.
For we are among this struggling world.
forgetting about ourselves amidst all that struggles to save others

and even now as some save others rather than themselves
many more retire to the shackles the broke
keeping a title yet to be earned through saving those who had once stood chained beside them

In Gods Grace we live, laze, and die.
only to be asked by God on high
what make us believe we have earned our place?
how can you claim to be Gods children when you did nothing but ignore the commands of God?

I say to you now Gods word is only understood by those willing to act upon it
so do not claim that God is in your heart when you do not follow his commands
rather repent for your arrogance and plead for his grace again
because you cannot fight a devil alone when he has already won the war.

salvation is free to those who seek it
but those who seek salvation must spread what it has to offer
and should consider salvation only when they are ready to help save others.

so those who hold titles in loose grips
be aware that those titles mean nothing
unless you are ready to spread that title to the next chained slave.

Two Really Good Friends

These are two really good friends of mine, Josh Doneff is the picture on top and Matt Akin is the picture on the bottom.

If I had to use one verse that would describe their individual mindsets best those verses would be.

Hebrews 10:24- And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.
is for Josh Doneff

Colossians 3:15- Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as member of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
is for Matt Akin
