Loving Embrace melts away the Numbness

A simple embrace,
lacking haste.
Long and lasting,
Love surpassing:
An overwhelming feeling
beginning the healing
of abandoned scars
and catastrophic internal wars.
Conflicts left behind,
undealt with; waiting for us to find...
To confront and overcome,
to feel more than numb.
Numbness is what our culture teaches,
but are we listening to what our pastor preaches?
There's so much more,
let Jesus into your core,
and experience life you will,
for God is enough to fill
and melt away the numbness forever.

A Little Re-arragement, Perhaps?

Why make the choices that we do?
Completely out of the blue,
based on our worldview.

Are they significant?
Or merely convenient?
Are they changing us for the better or bringing about our demise?
Or are they merely re-arranging our lives?

The Split

The dead, gray asphalt lay before her,
daring her muscles to tire.
The sound of a car working far too hard
lessened in her ears as it sped by, whilst
the silence crept closer.
Closer, that is,
Until the delight of God's creation chirped to her right.
Chirping, Chattering, and Chittering
made her muscles defy gravity, and made her smile.
A smile broken as an agonizing siren intruded to her left.
A long, straight road ahead and behind, split by a double yellow line.
God's creation as He intended, in perfect peace and living in love
Split
from the disquieting reality of sin in our world;
Split
by a well-traveled road, and
Split
within every Christian: The choice, daily of who to live for.
Yourself, or Christ.
We can choose the right or the left;
Choose Love.
