#53 The Real Deal 

One sheet of paper

Unmarked, wrinkle free, crisp, clean

Rest silently before me

Words are yet unseen.

The paper is symbolic of my life

The day I got saved and sincere,

Made Jesus Lord and pressed close.

He could never be too near.

He gave me a free will.

Each day is as a fresh page to me

Awaiting ink to reveal each word

While simultaneously making history.

Because today is now yesterday

And tomorrow is at the door

Anticipating my wise decisions

Because when it comes to wisdom, I pray for more.

The page may reflect changes

As one word is exchanged for another.

Life's battles reveal scars

On many a sister and brother.

The page now becomes a house

For words from the heart

Reflecting the character within

Right from the start.

Out of the abundance of the heart

The mouth speaks...(Lk.6:44-46) so true.

When joy and peace reign supreme

Repeatedly, God communed with you.

And you with Him; it's called "Communion".

Spiritual intercourse with the Master.

He floods you with His presence

As you wait, it's faster...

Faster than asking others for a word

And far less dangerous too.

When you hear the Holy Spirit's voice

You'll know what to do.

Whether He speaks to you

Through the Word, TV, or me

In a poem such as this

The truth, you will see.

The Holy Spirit quickens it to you

Because He wants you to know truth always.

You shall know truth and be set free.(John 8:32)

Makes for much better days!

From a word to a sentence and more

His plan is revealed gradually

As you continue to commune;

An image, a thought, scripture, during prayer, from "He". 

When released through pen or computer, to paper

It becomes more real

Eyes see, words come alive...

To your heart it does seal.

You know that you know, that you KNOW...

When it is the "Real Deal"

So walk in the Spirit.(Gal.5:16)

Don't go by how you feel. 

Your page may have scars 'n wrinkles

But your heart will be pure,

Your hands will be clean,(PS.24:4)

You will more than endure.

As you climb yet a higher mountain

And yes, even soar

As an Overcoming Eagle

Always reaching for More!

It is the wind of the Holy Spirit

That lifts you Higher and Higher

From a Poem to a Book and a Song

Victoriously THROUGH waters, rivers, and fire!(IS.43:2)

Your single "word"....... multiplied

As in Christ you abide.  (John 15)

Jesus is seen by all

'Cause He IS light, you just can't hide!(John 8:12)

A Vessel of Honor you become;

An Ambassador of Christ each day(Eph.6:20)

Whether in a song, book , or poem

Or when you pray.

Consequently,

There is really no end.

You are solid, as is your Rock...(PS.31:3)

The Rock that does not bend.

Jesus is His Name

'Causing ;you to be transparent, be real

'Cause after all is said and done:

JESUS...IS...THE..."REAL DEAL!!"
