Prisoners of Sin
But the Scriptures declare that we are all prisoners of sin, so we receive God’s promise of freedom only by believing in Jesus Christ, the Messiah. Galatians 3:22 We stay locked inside our cold and dreadful prisons while holding the keys. Poetry type: Senyru

Soiled Eyes
But if your eye is bad [spiritually blind], your whole body will be full of darkness [devoid of God’s precepts]. So if the [very] light inside you [your inner self, your heart, your conscience] is darkness, how great and terrible is that darkness! Matthew 6:23 Closing our soiled eyes we still prefer the darkness. Envy claims our…

Out of Darkness
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 1 Peter 2:9 Oh, people of God, declare His grace and mercy! Lift up His name in honor. Sing Him a new song! He called you…

Wake Up Call
And now consider this. You know well the times you are living in. It is time for you to wake up and see what is right before your eyes: for salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. Romans 13:11 Sucked in by darkness, then enveloped in evil, so many are still asleep. Will you shine…

Firmly Fixed

Perfect Rest
I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. John 10:11 Intertwined are faith, trust, and peace, hand-in-hand they stroll, to bring rest, Your perfect rest, lifting my burdens.

Tranquility
Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is comfortable, and My burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30 Refresh my soul with perfect rest as You increase…

Living
For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better. Philippians 1:21 I had to die to truly live, die to myself, that is, and live for eternity instead. Now living means living for Christ, He is my purpose and constant peace. To be with Christ is all I need in this…

Restored
If you return to God and put right all the wrong in your home, then you will be restored. Job 22:23 Yesterday is gone forever, but God still holds my future in hand. I used to wander through the dessert, but God saved me from no man’s land. My hardened heart was closed to grace,…

Love Divine
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 1…

Mizrach Shemesh
The mighty One, God, the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from the rising sun to the place where it sets. Psalm 50:1 Fresh day in nature’s womb luster in every hue awakes the morning dew. Newborn sunrise in bloom, delivering through doom creating all things new. Such a feast for the eyes, as light…

Revived
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? Jeremiah 17:9 Heart hollow and empty, fatally dark, until God’s glory revived my dead soul. Poetry type: Tetractys

Unfolding Words
The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple. Psalm 119:130 My soul was completely blinded, until God’s Word turned on the light. Making wise the simple minded, like a new day bursting through night. It’s by far my greatest treasure, by any meaningful measure. God’s Word will continue to shine…
