God's Word

A voice says, “Cry out.” And I said, “What shall I cry?” “All people are like grass, and all their faithfulness is like the flowers of the field. The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the Lord blows on them. Surely the people are grass. The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.”
Isaiah 40:6?-?8 NIV

In my time absorbing
 from my surroundings
It has become clear 
Through God revealing
His word will remain the truth
Myself, guilty went against it in blindness
As the different flowers bloom 
The different beliefs in division bloom
The grass withers from lack of water.
Light to guide it's direction.
Roots that stay near the surface
Easily uprooted when pulled.
People change day by day
Seeking in own works
Dancing in the wind of going against God
Trying to make since of life without God.
And we wonder why the world is the way it is
To hear ones blame God for this.
When it's people rejecting God to blame.
To get into His word in spirit and truth.
The awakening of mankind is still mostly
 the same as before Jesus death.
Now that we have a way to return
Sadly still division in rejecting the spirit.
What we seek has been given
Why then do many still reject.
Saddens me to think if Jesus
Walked into a church would,
He be rejected by His color or clothes.
Beliefs of mankind knowledge without God
Will wither with the drought of the land.
As quick as it sprouts without the spirit
The quicker it will need another belief.
God's word is the center that shall remain
The true tree that shall stand ,
No wind, storm, wars, disaster to harm.
For all was created through Him.
And hopefully one seeks to be a bloom
In this tree to leave the grass fields,
Pollinated through Christ
That one might remain in His everlasting tree.

"Saddens me to think if Jesus Walked into a church would, He be rejected by His color or clothes." When people are divided against themselves and prejudices of many kind grow manifold day by day, even this can happen... ! Seeing the gruesome scenes around, any good Christian will be torn at heart! Very poignant thoughts...
