Divine Findings

Come now and follow me into the depths of my sacrifice 
What a lapse you have made to think I put My life before your life

How great is your strong arm and how far do you think that it reaches
You can't carry the weight of your flesh; it has ground you to pieces

I was born to the body and mind that you constantly fight with
I was tempted and tested and found on all counts to be righteous

I put your life before My life and it's not for your value or brightness
Even those who pierced My hands will not be cast out and made lifeless

I make slaves of no one through all of the span of infinity
It is rashness to think the Divine Shepherd is late with divinity

You never cease to amaze me with your poems, my friend. This is so beautiful it made me think to be stronger in my faith... I miss chatting with you on FB but I'll be back in a few months. Too much going on, I need a break from there. Lol!
