The Cost

Am I 
born to doubt,
In the midst
of laughter,
celebration,
the positive...
a tendril taps my mind,
what is real?
A crack appears
snaking into my thoughts...

Look what they did
to me,
Look what they did
to my family,
Look what they did...
my heart, my feelings,
Look at my thoughts,
Look, spinning...
people... pain.

And yet,
Should I gain 
all things,
have all knowledge,
all success
what do I have?
Ashes, glitter, 
a hourglass 
sand dripping time 
to my death.

Is there really a choice?

And then
I take a risk,
They call it
a step of faith,
opening to
the love of God,
allowing Jesus
to be Lord,
capturing my heart,
And I know, experience Him
as my lover,
and I choose God,
King of glory over my life,
under God's authority,
Making Him Lord.

Does this cost my life?
Yes!
I give all
day by day,
In the valley
are the shadows
that I will walk,
Oh... I remember
the mountain tops 
dancing with God
in incredible release, freedom,
the spirit colours 
streaming, painting wonder.
But in reality valley
choosing you
my Saviour - Lord of my life,
is the full victory
of Christ.
My freedom
My love
My worship.

I am released,
God where do You
want me to step today?
Dance today?

Cost of Following Christ Poem

Conform

Conform 
"Become us voices cry"
calling to sameness,
capturing minds
filling dreams with candyfloss
Destruction in the playground
of gasoline tears.

In the noise
Colour confusion clashes
Pain, hate, laughter, freedom 
desires mix,
More, more, more...
The paradox; 
in the focus on
individuality,
We drain the person ,
in the focus on winning
we always lose.

Talk to me says God
Seek to hear my voice
step into my will 
struggle with transformation,
Allow renewal
Come follow me
Come know my Spirit
Come live and love.

Starting Thoughts: We love to be unique but are constantly pushed to conformity and sameness. Often however, the focus on individualism also destroys our uniqueness as we grow mostly as individuals through loving and caring for others. A wonderful paradox.
