Save

Dear Lord, while we are still down here, please be ever with us…until then. Pressing on

The time will come when we will never sleep and ‘You’ will encompass our every view… where at every turn, we’ll be so aware of Your love, audaciously…layering like dew. The time will come when the very atmosphere will swathe us in Your joyous delight… as amid chords of praiseful songs wings fluttering softly…take flight. Time will come…Your perfect tranquility will never take a reprieve… in that promised lavish place that will stand eternally…without trace of grieve. But, until then, O God… we beg You, keep us strong. Until then, Yahweh… let us not forget to whom we belong. Until then, Father… we implore Thee, please …hold us tight… ‘til…our souls know no more darkness and our days know no more night. Carry us over the raging floods of rancor be the hope…we so often discard. Secure us through this hard life with anchor Lord, be the assurance we sometimes dodge. Renew our battered faith… be that…peace…we do not comprehend… cheer us on as we run this race, please…Dear Jesus…! be *e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g* we need…Until Then.

Dear Joyce, This is one of the best poems I have ever read. Yes, the time will come when all will have to meet their Maker! The Lord have mercy on the religious fakers! They are even in our churches and have infiltrated the holiest of places. We must stand up for the unborn who do not have a voice or a vote to change their fate. The cruel adultress who screams out for freedom is just demonic bate. Amen X 110.

Such a masterful and inspired way to lay out what will come if we have the patience enough to wait for the exposition of the true reality. Beautifully expressed.

Never having to sleep? I am suffering an UTI that has made my days miserable with all the adrenaline making me shaky like an old man, urinating every few minutes or so with great pain and other effects like a headache.

But, after I went to bed last night, I slept warmly and feeling great. Longer than I have in a long time. There have been movies and stories about the monotony of sitting on the right hand of god. My night last night, the one I'm looking forward to tonight with wonderful dreams is a necessary function of my body on this earth with a night and a day alternating or activity and rest, rejuvenation. In the morning, I have to get up or I will feel miserable being in bed for so long.

Seems the battle is more real and far-reaching now than it's ever been in my life. Almost everything on the planet is being affected, and simultaneously too. This is a very telling sign. The birth pangs are fierce, and happening one after the other. Seems Earth is about to give birth to something wonderful. "But until then O God..." Amen. The second half of your poem, JMS Bell, is a prayer I fully resonate with. I've only saved one poem on this site since 2006. This will be the 2nd. Thank you. Peace.... rlc
