When I look in the mirror I see.I can’t believe that’s me.When did my eyes shimmer?A glance gives me a shiver.When did my body stop looking disgusting?In the mirror I see everything.Because I see myself how God created me.I can’t help thinking, “is that me?!”He formed me before I was born.His love has the vailContinue reading “IS THAT ME?”

RECONCILLED PAIN
We need the highs and lows.We need delight and sorrows.For joy makes life worth living.While pain reminds me, I’m still living.I’ve learned to say “this is good.”Even if things don’t go as they should.I need this,We all need it.To keep depression at bay.To find joy in a little bit of pain.To enjoy God’s gifts.Even if,Continue reading “RECONCILLED PAIN”
NEXT SUNRISE
I look forward to the next sunrise.The next moment I feel good inside.When the sky declares great beauty.The next moment of security.When shadows are cast away,And sunlight shares its warm embrace.Resolved closer walks on.Step by step until all is done.I look forward to the next sunrise.When hope glimmers in my eyes. by – R.d. jess
BURNING
I’m Burning,My skin is on fire.My body is yearning,To finally retire.Burned red agony,And things that can’t be undone.Lay to rest at calvary.Though I want to run,And my skin burns.He is with me.My heart churns,While I read psalm 23.I met shadows death.My body starved of rest.You gave me the final breath.Fire is the test.His hand IContinue reading “BURNING”
MOUNT SACRIFICE
Up thy mount I go to sacrifice man.In its place I find a ram.Did mercy climb thy mount with me?To watch me surrender everything.My blade raised high to finish the deed.When mercy’s ram called me free.Breath of relief filled my lungs.There my heavy heart hung.On thy mount of sacrifice.Where my faith was multiplied,And God’s goodnessContinue reading “MOUNT SACRIFICE”
DRIVEN AND TOSSED
Driven and tossed by the wind.Driven and tossed within.Driven and tossed by the sea.Driven and tossed by what I believe.Tossed around by my sorrows.Driven mad by no tomorrow.Driven and tossed by the wind.Driven and tossed by my sin.Driven and tossed by the sea.Driven and tossed until I believed. by – R.d. jess
DOESN’T ALWAYS
Waters don’t always fall.Harvest isn’t always in the fall.Good doesn’t always receive good.Things don’t always go as they should.But I trust the God over it all.Even if the rain doesn’t fall.Even if there is no food in the fall.My God is good to all.No evil has me shaken.No sorrow has me breakin.I trust the workContinue reading “DOESN’T ALWAYS”
SOFTER SINGS
Still breeze and softer sings.The little birdy telling me.Not one sparrow, not one sorrow.Is not seen by thy heavenly king.For all that we know,God has faithfully shown.That he clothes the flowers,In their desperate hours.That his justices pursues,The weight of truth.Whether today I find reliefor I am kept in my grief.I trust the hands that madeContinue reading “SOFTER SINGS”
MY DEAREST FRIEND, SUFFERING
My dearest friend, Suffering.Thank you for the gift called hurting.At first I was mad at you.Thinking you had lost it too!Now I see it differently.It was a much needed journey.At first I thought you were an enemy.Plotting to destroy me.I can’t thank you enough for what you did.Shining a light on the things I hid. ThankContinue reading “MY DEAREST FRIEND, SUFFERING”
RAISED GLASS
To the one all alone.For the anger that stayed at home.To the grief that never left.For the evil that made a mess.To all the pain you feel.For those who wish love was real.This glass is raised for you.Praying you will make it through. r.d. JESS
