Know This Drop That

The way up, is down
Even if only on your knees
Believe this, in Jesus Sermon, 
Matthews (5,6,7): humble like these
Children, said He: you are One
Of a kind, His masterpiece
But everyone he made alike as peas
Along with this Earth Pod. I know
I also fought, once against two
I slipped, but enemies saw me fall
I kicked rapidly on my back, they flew
Like vultures in terror of a predator
I was uplifted, my faith grew
Because as I fought, I yelled JESUS
EACH KICK RENEWED His energy
Yet I went, later, the very same day
Apologized I had failed and fallen
Saving two beautiful friendships
For a moment twisted by all our pride
But the fall reevaluated my relationships:
I was down, not out, Lord has my back & hide

A good battle can humble us, and reestablish a mission and purpose. Nothing more important than loving friendships. I remember a time being in danger...a light came around me, I had no fear. All turned out good for me. There is a God I am convinced! But sort of feel like Thomas:)

I love this write Anil - we all do wrong somewhere in our lives, or have failed in our faith - we must just understand God will always be there for us, he was and has been for the good and evil for he wants to open up the eyes of the latter. People like Putin are damned, I have no right to say this as vengeance is God's right, but has Putin not got enough blood on his hands, he spills it daily - and Head of the Russian Orthodox Church and Putin best pals. Blessings, Eireene, Shalom, Jennifer.
