Aye Mehnnn. I feel so bad about the way the church responds to people or does not respond in the just as bad case. It is doing such a piss poor job of saving or even helpng anybody.

I swear...the bible is an awesome tool but it is used as a weapon.
It is so hard to find a pastor that is in tune spiritually...like...on God's channel. Many of them mean well, but they are just missing the mark.

Most folks don't know how to really hear from God themselves, for a variety of reasons. So they try to hear from Him or get Godly counsel through the obvious means... the pastors.

But some...not all...are jacked up.
I hate that many, many people of alternative sexual orientations or lifestyles are miserable because they love God but have been convinced that God does not love them and that they do not belong in the church or in society period.

Sin is sin. We are all born and bathed in it. There is none greater or lesser. Christ died so they we would be free of it. He took it ALL upon himself to make that possible for us.

Our goal should be not to be totally without sin but to acknowledge our sins and be blameless before him when he returns for us. To believe in Him and keep seeking Him and trying to live as He did, loving everything and everybody
unconditionally.

Woooo weee...let me move my mouth from here yah. I na start. Rolling Eyes

I try to understand why we think God is evil when He says, ''He is Love''. Maybe I don't get the real reason for the crucifixion.
We (humans) don't see it that way Nica... We think 'small sin' and 'big sin'... but God sees SIN as it is.

There was a time in the beginning accrued wickedness of man when God in Heaven could not rest due to the prayers of man. His desk was overloaded 5 times the usually daily submission of humna prayers, and wanted to do away with the cries (prayers) of man. He garthered His angels and archangels in such of a place where the prayers of man would not reach Him. Some angels recommended the deepest of the dark oceans...others outer space and on and so on. When God tried, there where some praying, " Father, where ever you are, in space or in the ocean...please hear my prayers", and there prayers would at the end find God.
He called His angelic host again and asked them a second time for a pefect hidding place, far away from the prayers of man. A thin voice of an angel said,"Lord, You can hide in the hearts of man - there, they can't find You".

The reason was so simple...the heart of man is so dark, -if the color exists, then it is 'navy black' -and thick in blackness that movement would seem almost impossible, echo would not even resound. And God finally did hide there, and till today He is still hiding in our hearts...and we search for Him outer space and in the Heavens. (Psalm 51:10)

hmmm...deep. now i can stop looking for heaven. McNeal, you know the song...turn off the lights..and close that door...we need tonight to be alone singing

Believe
MHK

On lonely melancholy days I struggle to believe
that somewhere in the vast expanse of humanity
a lover’s heart could passionately beat for me.

I struggle to embrace the possibility
that adoring eyes could find beauty
amidst my mangled physicality.

I wrestled with God and by His grace I survived.
He then blessed me with the unveiling of my eyes
to His unconditional love, devoid of compromise.

The desires of my heart are part and parcel of His plan.
The thoughts of God however are not always those of man.
Hence my struggle to believe, even He can understand.

Yet I find joy and strength when I hear Him say,
that from the womb I was wonderfully and fearfully made;
especially when I struggle on those lonely melancholy days.

nica, re-reading the poems.. this one makes me thinks so much of my mother... nice.. touching..

Brown Eyes
It was a passing glance
Then a double take
WOW

Brown Eyes
Soft
Smiling
Smothering

The thoughts that I shouldn’t be looking are foremost
No, I won’t look
For to look again would be to lust
lust of the eye is Sin

But alas, I cannot help it, for to look also is to feel an unknown thirst
To look hastens the beat of my heart
To look is to relive passions;
feelings buried deep within the abysses of my heart

The urge to look brings memories of Lots Wife
Will I forever be change should I look?
Dare I?

Alas
I shall!!

I’ve looked And,
My heart smiles
For I see everything I feel
Reflected in the Brown Eyes I behold
Brown eyes that reflect desires, passions, dreams and love
Brown eyes that make promises of sweat under dark clouds
Brown eyes that promise a lifetime of joy and happiness unknown

Alas
I’ve looked
And, I’ve lived.
Promises fulfilled.
Sated desires.
Fulfilled dreams.

Look, and Live!

Dissolution of the Heart

In this once sacred sanctuary, consecrated for you and I
your heart and that of another now intertwine.

You drink no longer from the chalice of the hand bequeathed to you,
but quench your thirst from a cistern flowing with forbidden dew.

In the far most corner of this torrid edifice to which I did recede
I awaited your summoning in sanguine futility.

I heard only the echoes of your mirth as I peered through the corridor,
and I shed a healing tear for the covenant that is no more.

I bid farewell to the ties that bound our hearts in love,
and give mine now the freedom, it has long been bereft of.

A Public Secret

When everyone knows a thing…but one,
a public secret’s web has been spun.
Silence is the modus operandus
for keeping…the one…blissfully oblivious.

Surrounded by both friend and foe,
the one is the last, if ever to know.
The enigma is in the aware one’s submission
to the mutual propagation of a lie of omission.

As tight as the grip of the Poro on the tongue
the public secret’s web is not often unstrung.
Perhaps the motivation is compassionate sympathy
or…that’s just how it is…common place apathy.

But revelation of the thing to the one,
cannot ease the pain caused by indiscretions done.
Loyalty and betrayal are juxtaposed
in the hearts of the one and the one exposed.

Would not the purpose be better served,
to live and love in honesty as the ones we love deserve?
For having been the one, we know that pain.
For having been, the aware, we all bear that shame.

Time

They say time heals all wounds
That Time will heal the vacuum, this emptiness,
This void I feel
They say time will make me remember without pain

When will that time be?
Oh how I miss you!
Iwish could turn back the hands of time.
I wish there was more time
Time for granted
Wasted time
Cherished time
Forgotten times

The painful tug of knowing
Of accepting,
The reality, that as much as we wish, yearn, crave
Time has run out
The hour glass is empty

Time
Time
Time, I await you
Heal my pain
Make me remember without tears
Fill my void
Help me smile full real smiles
Help me cherish the time we did have
Time shared
Time, weild your magic
Spin your web
Time, I await you

The pinch of pain
Is never known
Never expected
Till you feel that pierce
That stab
You never know there exists levels of pain
Till you lose one so dear, so close
So cherished

Dull pain
Sharp pain
Aching pain
Throbbing pain
Painful pain
To each, its own twist
Its own tug

Questions arise
Many remain unanswered
Why me? Why her? Why now?

Consumed by grief!
Grasping for breath
Slowly
In, Out, In, Out
Present a brave, stoic, happy façade
Smile! Laugh!

I can’t! Too much pain
It’s so hard to breath
Hard to remember without wincing
The feeling of heavily weighed
Dead weight
The futility of erasing
The ache, deep throbbing ache

This pinch I feel
Was never expected
Or wanted
But feel it I must

Where is the Love…

True Love, some say causes no pain
What then does the brokenhearted say?
Was their love not true?
They wanted love, needed love, craved love
but scars show aloud and bright as their reward for giving chance to finding true love.

Words they say are easily spoken yet have the power to cause so much hurt
Lies that destroys, vain promises that give empty hopes
How much of you can u give, till you can give no more
What words can you say, till you can say no more
How much hurt can you take, till you can hurt no more

Where is the love
The love that seemed promise to transcend through time
To bring light and joy and happiness like no other except the Lord’s
To keep you safe and give you hope and understanding when all seem lost
Where is that love

Where is the smile
The smile that should one awake to
The laughter that one craves to hear
The arms that one longs to hold
The kiss that one ache to feel

Where, where, where?
by LadyFlo

just keep looking (in good faith) without much expectation you'll someday find.

Resilience

There are people in our lives we each day meet
They do add flavor to it
Do they make life worth living?
These people are engraved on our hearts – and loved

There are times when people of such kind we seek
Those we wished we had today
Do they run away and make life not worth living?
When they do – we are left scarred, scathed and unresolved

There are times when scars of engraved people multiply
Those close to our hearts
And hurts so badly that we don’t feel a single pain
Maybe reasons are that we so care and see no hate – just love

There is a word that takes us aback due to reasons
Reasons unsaid
That might cause us to look back in the face of pain
And look up front to a fate obscure

The ability to not be loved and yet love for not many reasons
The will not to go ahead for a cause and still forge ahead
Why love when the outcome is yet thwarting
Only for the resilient in the wake of agony is felicity
