#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!!"

of a ready writer."
