Deep Inside




Pyramid Destroyed


FREE!

Would you believe me?


It requires such sense of fulfillment.


I would just fly
fly for all that I "need"
as long as eternal truth exists.

Have I
my eyes on the moving of mountains?

Have I
my eyes on the mountain mover?

I would just fly
fly for a coming of hearing
as long as it takes for me to obey.


Well, is it true?

FREE!

Make Everything Right


Only with a beautiful love,

the fading fades,

the boisterous burden suffers defeat,

the inferior


BELONG

&
BEHAVE

&
BELIEVE




Lips breathe!


Shake me too!


Sing with your hands!


Without a doubtful account,
a push to the kneeling space!


In that day they will say,
"Surely this is our God;
we trusted in him, and he saved us.
This is the LORD, we trusted in him;
let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation."

- Isaiah 25.9

Of the Living God



For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth,
and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth.

The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth,
and the ark floated on the surface of the water.

They rose greatly on the earth,
and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered.

The waters rose
and covered the mountains to a depth of more than twenty feet.

-Genesis 7. 17-20


Then God said,

"Take your son,
your only son, Isaac,
whom you love,
and go to the region of Moriah.
Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering
on one of the mountains I will tell you about."

-Genesis 22.2


So now, go.
I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt."

But Moses said to God,

"Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?"

And God said,

"I will be with you.

And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you:

When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain."

- Exodus 3. 10-12


Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel,

"Why do you come out and line up for battle?

Am I not a Philistine, and are you not the servants of Saul?

Choose a man and have him come down to me.

If he is able to fight and kill me, we will become your subjects;

but if I overcome him and kill him, you will become our subjects and serve us."

Then the Philistine said,

"This day I defy the ranks of Israel!

Give me a man and let us fight each other."

On hearing the Philistine's words, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified.

-1 Samuel 17. 8-11


David said to the Philistine,

"You come against me with sword and spear and javelin,

but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty,

the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.

This day the LORD will hand you over to me, and I'll strike you down and cut off your head.

Today I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds of the air

and the beasts of the earth, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.

All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear

that the LORD saves;

for the battle is the LORD's,

and he will give all of you into our hands."

-1 Samuel 17. 45-47

Belong Deeper in Love



"O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth—you who keep your covenant of love with your servants who continue wholeheartedly in your way.

You have kept your promise to your servant David my father;
with your mouth you have promised and with your hand you have fulfilled it—as it is today.

"But will God really dwell on earth with men?
The heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain you.
How much less this temple I have built!
Yet give attention to your servant's prayer and his plea for mercy,
O LORD my God.

Hear the cry and the prayer that your servant is praying in your presence.
May your eyes be open toward this temple day and night,
this place of which you said you would put your Name there.
May you hear the prayer your servant prays toward this place.



Hear the supplications of your servant
and of your people Israel when they pray toward this place.
Hear from heaven, your dwelling place;
and when you hear, forgive...

..."Now, my God,

may your eyes be open
and your ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.

"Now arise, O LORD God,

and come to your resting place,
you and the ark of your might.
May your priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation,
may your saints rejoice in your goodness.

O LORD God,

do not reject your anointed one.
Remember the great love promised to David your servant."

- 2 Chronicles 6.

Like an Echo


Words rise, the howling of a renewed assurance,

actions, light shed,

and

a name, the umbrella's bones.


What causes it?


The wind can be in anger,

the reed, for the thatcher's art,

the earth can be unstable,

inconstant feelings...

even dead bloom!


Love,

life skeleton,
the utmost,

extreme structure,

strapped,
nonlinear,

innate gift,

to receive

and

It can rain today,

I must not miss

Whistler



It was what I would look after
many times a day.

I would play with it for hours lONG

In my mind,
the warning conveyed
to my beloved dog,
the message transmitted
of wanting to spend time with it,
and
of wanting to better train it,

it would all come across by using
the one
best
signaling instrument.


Now,
for a moment,

Let's just imagine it
as a reversal process,
perhaps
one
I have chosen
to indulge myself in

and
one that brings forth
decadent pleasures.

But,
In my everyday existence,
through the learning experiences,

and into the interior
of my innermost character,
a love which is eager to grow,

the message transmitted
by the one who
brought me into existence

comes
in
and
with

generous disposition,
and
is one that signals
and reminds
and alerts
and is
love
in
itself.


I conceive
that
the

inspiration of confidence
and peace of mind
and
certainty in my heart
and peace of heart,

it leads to a quiet life,
to
a scene of no doubts or hesitations,

and
to

a love that loves
as
it
waits to love more deeply.

Astounding



My mind is too small,
the glory of God,
in all state and sense,
if even possible to capture
in words or thoughts or both,
it fills me with wonder,
and overwhelms me with amazement.




The bright sun,
the heavens,
the stars...
...God's love!

I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem,
coming down out of heaven from God,
prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,
"Now the dwelling of God is with men,
and he will live with them.
They will be his people,
and God himself will be with them and be their God.


I did not see a temple in the city,
because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it,
for the glory of God gives it light,
and the Lamb is its lamp.

The nations will walk by its light,
and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it.
On no day will its gates ever be shut,
for there will be no night there.

The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it.
Nothing impure will ever enter it,
nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful,
but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.

- Revelations 21. 2,3; 22-27

Listen!



I sought the LORD, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.


Singular and plural,
enemy and enemies.

So, beware, each day.

They seek to take your life.


Change the course of action!


Do not forsake your Lord,

God,

He is the LORD ALMIGHTY.

Do not give access in your life
to foreign gods,

Do not give offerings to other gods,
or build high places
to the things of this world
and have them master your mind and heart.


Those who look to him are radiant;
their faces are never covered with shame.

- Psalm 34 (bold text)

Veil meets Wind



Is a case of love,

cased in life,

where life can be.


Even I believe,

that through the fire,

life and love exist.


I have a distant place,

a home in the way;

cessation of all failures,

a place where I can be!


Feathers in the Head



Open my eyes when I speak


Open my mouth when I see



You are my God



You gave an incomparable
second to none speech to my soul.

I am yours!

The line of your grace,
is mine to walk on, at any place.

Surely, the battle will perdure,
but in you, as your chattel, I will endure.

Lift me from my brokenness,
Father,
reign in me,
make my heart and mind your home.

I am yours!


Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.

-Psalm. 63.3

? of the Hole


Have I loved?

Everything I look at,
live for,
search within,
envision as,

from afar or very near,

comes to the same
GRAPPLE,

inside the toughest battle,

in which the same question
prolongs the effort and the need for power
to win.

Parasympathetic to sympathetic.


"TAKE ME DEEPER IN LOVE"

-Above phrase from Waterfall, by Reuben Morgan


Have I loved?


I try to engage it fully

with my every thought,

every single word spoken,

through every chance I get
to change musical scale,

in every situation that is required
to dance.


It defeats my strength I get to think,

all of my knowledge;
at times
I feel my mind is affected with a momentary paralysis.

I swing back and forth,
give all I have,

wait on the battle field,
one that according to my spying dexterity lacks ending,

and face to face,
engaged in the same grapple,

I am led to the same question:

HAVE I LOVED?

Triumphal View


Those
days
of raging winds, nonentity boredom

days
when the passion to run through the sugar cane fields would grow in great scale

days
when using the slingshot required using all my imagination

days
when jumping in muddy puddles
and crossing rivers and getting wet
would give my mind and heart free rein


days
when kissing and counting the raindrops was never inane

days
when listening to the crickety symphony
and star gazing satisfied my searching for

days
when thunderstorms and lighting assured my soul of
God above
and a God of love

In those
days
much pleasure I found
much experience was gained
much joy abounded within me
much awe of my Creator completed my wants and needs

Reality Amazing



One purpose in it all...

...I just realized:

Yes, I truly am your son,


everything in my life will be used for you,

you will use me to bring glory to you.


Growth



You loved me


You created me

You made me cry

You opened my eyes

You sheltered me with a family

You made me walk

You put a song in my mouth

You taught me how to think

You blessed me with friends

You spoke to me in my youth

You loved me

You provided to me when I was in need

You bought my life

You saved me

You loved me as your son

You came to heal me

You listened to my prayers

You refreshed and renewed me

You showed me your ways

You put a prayer in my heart

You designed dreams within me

You gave me joy

You gave me peace of mind and heart

You gave me the gift and allowed me to love

You took me to your Word

You made me rest in you

You embraced me

You loved me

Drawings


When I survey it Lord.

The heaviness of even just
the thoughts...

...it becomes a heavy load,

one too heavy to carry it myself.


To you belongs my life,

my all is carried in your love,

each of my days you know them,

before, behind, and besides me is your presence,
within me your tabernacle.


oh, wonderful KING of my life!

I yield full control to you,
if even in my shaky faith you find it pleasing,
if even in my doubt you find it worth of all praise to you.

It surely is my ardent desire to give myself to you,
my God,
to love you first.

Glory be to God on High


To my eyes:

a moment and a glimpse,

the picture of something,

the idea of an image.




To your eyes:

Your presence through all times,

the work of your hands in everything,

the perfect knowledge of all.


...one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

- Ephesians 4. 6
