The author will take you on a journey into your heart where his words will resonate with the truth inside you. Paul's writing captures the ebb and flow of the human experience in exceptional ways. I love reading his poems. They put into words emotions I have felt but couldn't explain them as Paul does so well.
We all know that a picture is worth a thousand words but sometimes words can paint a thousand pictures. I hope you'll find that to be true in Expressions of Life. If you are like me, I find great comfort in knowing how others deal with their tragedies and turn then into valuable life experiences for themselves and others. When we face rough times, we have a tendency to feel isolated in our suffering thinking no one else understands. That's why knowing how others face life's challenges and experience life's joys-is helpful and hopeful.
Excerpt
MY KING LIVES
My King left His throne, born into the human race as a baby, crawling, gurgling, drooling; the Creator of sound unable to utter a word.
My King grew into an uncrowned royal toddler, learning to walk,
touching everything around Him, experiencing, with human hands,
all that He created.
My King, unrecognized, grew into a Jewish teenager, talking with the Temple Rabbis who marveled at His words, not grasping His royalty or the fact that their Messiah was enlightening for them the very words He wrote.
My King grew into manhood working in the carpenter shop with His earthly Abba making chairs, tables, cabinets. Then suddenly, His Highness put down the tools, kissed His mother good bye and walked to the Jordan where John recognized His Royalty and baptized Him,
and Father affirmed His call.
My King, knowing this earth was not His kingdom, served as a Rabbi at thirty, a teacher, a healer, a lover of the unlovable, calling those whom He
created to walk with God the Father in relationship rather than a rulebook.
My King was obedient to His earthly call as completely God and completely man, fulfilling the scripture He wrote, not uttering a word as they shed His Royal blood. On the cross, it was not revenge but “Father, forgive them." “King of the Jews” scornfully tacked on His cross.
My King died! Soldiers pulled His limp body from the cross. How frail He seemed! Only three hours, so little time to kill the greatest Man to ever live. Overcome with tears, not understanding, those who loved my King
carried Him the tomb.
My King did not remain in the tomb. He conquered death. Three hours to die, three days dead, and then victory! The King of the Jews became the King for all humankind giving us the gift of eternity.
My King now lives high and lifted up at the Father's side and in the hearts of all of us who believe.
My King Lives!
Is your King alive?
