Poem
A wasp can’t sting without a stinger, but hurtful words cut like a dagger, but with a blunt edge it can’t cause harm so it may t be used to spread butter on the bread of life. “Dull your hurtful words and your daggers, spread your grace like butter on bread.” A ram cannot butt heads without its horns and a push can’t become a shove without violence being distributed. “Let our pushing and shoving turn into a giving hand without giving others the horn of anger.” A lion can maul with its claws, bite with its jaws, and intimidate us with its presence, but it can’t shun the light within us. “May the lion’s claws become blunt, mouth shut, and the frightening presence be distinguished by the light of the One who lives in us.” We can drown in water, but the One who walks on it can lift us up to stand on top of life’s crashing waves. “Have faith.” The wind can be peaceful and refreshing, but it can also be violent and harmful. “Turn to the One who can halt storms with a single word. May you learn by His example.” Weather is unpredictable, but He who loves you will always be the summer shade and gentle wind that reminds you who you are. “A child of the One true king.” A friend will offer advice and help, but the enemy will only deceive and destroy. “Don’t throw your pearls to swine.” Flowers bloom and blossom. “We too can blossom in the presence of the Lord, but those that chastise and spew hatred like an exploding volcano will wither away into dust, carried by the winds of nothingness.” The trees bend and snap when a hurricane unleashes its wrath. “When we trust the One who saves we can stand strong and tall like a fortress in the hands of God.” We each walk a unique path and sometimes we fall. “Wet stone can be slippery, but He who guides us will not let us dash our foot against it.” Live, love, life, breathe 6/24/2016 Sweet little lies
