JUDGED BUT NOT CONDEMNED

Judged so that not condemned.Broken so that you can mend.To stumble but not fall,For the weak to stand tall.To be reminded what we need.To cause sin to flee.Is the reminder of a downfall.To remind us of our faults.To be drawn heaven ward,And to read His Word.Is redemptions correction.The predestined protection. For it is by grace,That aContinue reading “JUDGED BUT NOT CONDEMNED”

CHRISTIAN GRIEF

Grief shall enter a Christians’ home,But should not let the heart roam.Corruption of the heart starts in the mind.When one conforms to mankind.Let your sorrows be grieved,So that your soul may be relieved.But don’t let grief grow bitter,For doubt is a hard hitter.Unresolved grief makes the heart corrupt.Set sail to self destruct.Lament in order toContinue reading “CHRISTIAN GRIEF”

EZEKIEL 34

Woe to the shepherds,Their failure is on record. To let their flock become prey,And be filled with spiritual decay.Their wounds left unattended,Was open for the underhanded.The scattered were left out back.For you said devotion they lacked.A shepherd’s job is to search.But you sat up on your perch.And souls were starved of grace.All to show off aContinue reading “EZEKIEL 34”

CHURCH PEWS

Church pews are hard and so became my heart.Does my heart disregard those painful parts?When I kneel before the cross.I tremble for what I lost.Hope differed makes the heart sick,And the church walls thick.Can I walk through those open door’s?And love those who are your’s?Those church pews are hard,For those whose hearts are marred.My faithContinue reading “CHURCH PEWS”

THOSE LEFT BEHIND

To live in the shadows of someone you loveIs to be treated like you’re not enough.To cheer them on in the back,While you wonder what you lack.Does the problem lie with me?Sometimes it feels like I’m not there to be seen.To be forgotten and still be humble.While my weary heart starts to stumble.Status and popularityContinue reading “THOSE LEFT BEHIND”

WANDER SO

My feet did wander so,To places I didn’t want to go.Temptation lead me to the edge,But grace kept me from the ledge.I could have, if I did chose,But grace let me refuse.My feet did wander so,But not where grace could not go.For its measure is given by God.Not by man’s façade.It was predestined in itsContinue reading “WANDER SO”

WEARY CHRISTIAN

One last look in the mirror,One last prayer made out of fear.Tight grip on the way to church,As your body remembers the hurt.Clutch your bible tightly,And smile just slightly.Meaningless “how are you’s?”While your body is starved of truth.Find a seat in the back,Your composer is just an act.Uncertain of the songs they sing.Because lie’s haveContinue reading “WEARY CHRISTIAN”

CHANGING

Sometimes life keeps changing.Always my God is sustaining.This pace can be inraging,As strength is draining.But this is training.My God is unchanging.Like fine wine aging,My faith remaining.No need for explaining,Trust is the main thing.When life keeps changing. R.d. jess

WHEN MY WALLS GAVE WAY

When my walls gave way,I thought I lost my faith.When I stumbled over the law,It chipped my heart and made it raw.Belief and confession.Did I learn my lesson?I believe,God gives grace to believe.Righteousness is obedience by faith,By justification I am safe.God has chosen,A story handwoven.A bondservant by choice.Now my heart can rejoice.When my walls gaveContinue reading “WHEN MY WALLS GAVE WAY”

TRUTH SINCE YOUTH.

Renew is due,I need to trust you.To walk worthy of the calling.I need to stop stalling.Obedience to your word.Belief made sure, I’ve heard.To walk when weary,To know you hear me.To know your truth,That I’ve known since youth. r.d. jESS
