I saw this image on the internet here: Bride Of Christ

Today, I feel I can wait for my Lord, as I have a brief moment of respite from the pain of despair. My moods change so much, that this is all I can say I have right now, as there is no guarantee that I will feel this well mentally in the morning:

[Jeshu]

When I first met God's goodness in my life I was completely speechless - this poem was sparked by it and is an oxymoron if ever there was one.

To The Speakers Of Words.

Whatever do you mean using words again?
Is vocabulary not a little plain?
Words synchronising souls as one?
Can such a feat truly be done?
For I cannot with words relay,
Why I am myself this way.

Be events either good or bad,
be our interaction sad or glad.
Consider, good times offers happy faces,
still the words spoken are just reflecting traces,
of the togetherness that's found,
for joy, cannot, by words, be bound!

Bear in mind that laughter resists spelling,
even as tears wail words of wrong telling.
Watch jealousy offer red hot treason,
just as rage defies all spoken reason.
so hateful thoughts inside our heart do burn,
while its miseries for God's goodness yearn.

Could our reality be fully articulated?
Present tense offering more than has been explicated?
Truer then the written pages used to announce?
A whole lot more than anyone could ever pronounce?
For events increase what in your heart and mind will stay,
telling so much more than you can read or I can say!

Or can your tongue genuinely translate..,
..what feelings twine through your thoughts of late?
Surely life within, words can only address?
So often creating a real inner mess!
Moreover what about these spirits so sly,
evil thoughts weaving words into a lie?

Please know the heart so you can see,
that words hide much sin and misery.
Even the Bible, The Loving Word of the Lord,
requires the Spirit to cut like a flaming sword.
Albeit The Truth needs no letters to explain Himself,
nor any accusers after His mistakes to delve.

See how compassion heeds love with much regard,
understand that hope restores a faltering heart.
Observe determination reach out at a distant goal,
and experience true thankfulness gladdening your soul.
Feel the joy which lights-up a most sombre face,
and live beneath the umbrella of God's Grace.

Please know that trust has no boundaries nor fear,
even as in love many are as one so near.
So truthfulness is also a gift of yore,
our very existence has in such its core.
Oh such truth with mere words I can never explain,
as ink on a diamond will always look a stain!

So merely pen and paper paraphrasing what would be?
Words illustrating the breath of spirituality?
Or does our language hinder His salvation?
The lack of phrases chaining contemplation?
Therefore linguistics cannot always stand,
as even Scripture's words come to an end.

Rather the truth your heart accumulates,
will determine what final fate awaits.
When in word or letter you've made a stand,
The Lord will such results from you demand.
Yet if the Spirit of Loving Truth shapes your reality,
judgement day will bring joy instead of anxiety.​

Beneath her hair......

Underneath her hair was voice within
That mastered the steps of life
She cared not what they thought of her
For they knew not the call of her life

She thought with care never questioning why
For she knew to do would be a lie
To capture the vast array of colors within
Would be the same foretold sin
Of many maidens here before
Because of ones chosen door

To live to love to conjure and go
She always dired for more to know
That deep within was a mystery untold
To those of ones before young and old
Unlock my box you cannot know
The price she paid for things untold
Because there is a higher love
To ones that seek to know

But if you stay above her hair
You will never cease to share
The judgment of one's unfailing love
You must bow low to understand
For there is where HE holds her hand
She knows that her face is not to be seen
But only by HIS face to gleam
Upon her beauty veiled in hair
Alone with HIM in comfort we share
A love beyond man's ways unknown
They feast together before HIS throne

Learning of HIS thoughts and ways
She knows the dooming of the days
So she speaks with soft voice
Father help them make a choice
To see and know how you care
Of those as me neath her hair

 

[teresa]

She cared not what they thought of her
For they knew not the call of her life

what a wonderful freedom to have, sp, to be free of concern what others think...

saving your beauty only for HIM, too.

Beautiful image.....!

Does anyone else have ups and then crashes? Not surprised I am reeling today with heavy duty this:
Broken Heart Art

 

[teresa]

there is no escape, 'cause wherever you go, there you are!

running away....will I find any happiness?

 

[Jeshu]

Life's short.

Life's wondrous offer to being, renders more then subjugation.
Please crucify your self-importance so you'll be a free creation.
However refining silver and purifying gold excludes the dross.
Bequeathing you no alternative but dependency on the cross.

God's Word ruminates food for the soul, whosoever you turnout to be.
For Christ's liberty fetches the shackled soul a combination key.
Grab hold of eternal bliss before death catches up with all the lies.
Remember life is short for those who have lost touch with paradise.

So I don't heed the gravediggers wallowing six foot deep in retreat.
Could death preclude us spiritually; as the Lord we'll surely meet?
Or still trusting that your demise has non-being as final victory?
I wager the whole of my existence - JESUS will be awaiting me!

Thank you. I'm not really a professional at this but people here really seem to enjoy my stuff. It brings me happiness.

Yes, the angel did heal me. In real life, he/she/it also saved me from all kinds of harm.

-I almost drowned twice, once as a child jumping into the deep end of the pool. The other is where my best friend's hyperactive little brother held me underwater.
-I survived four suicide attempts. Three were overdoses that left no damage to my organs. The second time was especially miraculous because I took enough pills to knock out a horse, had it in my system for hours and still got to the hospital with no damage. The fourth was when I tried to slit my wrists <Staff Edit>.
-Almost got hit by a car while crossing the street. The car stopped and the driver got out to frantically apologize and even offered to drive me somewhere.
-Almost got strangled to death while playing a game of tug of war during Elementary school. A bigger kid and I had the rope tied around our waists and the rope tightens around my stomach. The game didn't stop until I puked out some pinkish vomit.
-Once mistook pills as candy when I was a toddler. No damage as I spat them back out.

God truly has one of his angels looking out for me.

Hey, glad you are still with us and are sharing your story.

can you also tell us how you created this art for the computer?

I use a program called Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended. I use it for making photoshops, touching up images, and more recently drawing. For me it's basically the same as drawing on Microsoft Paint except there are extra features such as layers to make drawing much easier.

I could be experimenting with other features more often but so far no one has any complaints with my simple drawings. I got requests via PM and two users have my drawings as signature pictures. I didn't think that people would enjoy them so much.

God gave me this small gift and it looks like it's making people happy. Give Him the glory.

thank you for sharing the program you utilize.

my favorite one is you wrapped up in the blue blanket with the bag of chips....

what were you feeling when you created it/what does it represent?
