At the Gates of Beautiful
....Saying one thing that I do is this, I never look back, rather
Keeping my eyes upon the prize in the high calling of God, I reach ahead ~
As I also do, although, never are these shadows of my once upon a times
Saturated within sinfuls life, do they escape the consciousness of truth
Inside; always brushing their wings these confirmations; thorns remain....
Reminding myself of how imperfect this body and mind and I, so truly am!?
Not that I should wantingly or willingly return unto this, its mires
Nor reaffix the fetters in marking its sorrows unto countless regrets for
While in doing this then, I shall have given the enemy their desire; desires....
Rendering void the cross of Christ Jesus and His precious lifes, priceless blood ~
Yet if we fight and I do so fight, with and within, these absolute truths?!
This perpetual war; but not with flesh and blood as I have also seen
Principalities and rulers of lost amid darker realms and, must I deny ~
Salvation; formed in The Word this armour, for a sinner such as myself....
