Peace Within

My mind was once pilled up as leaves being raked being tossed around by the wind with confusion causing deception I wondered what is the purpose of this life entangled in everyday worries and strife it must be something better Therefore I began to search I called upon Jesus and everything I had learned from the world began to make since I was caught up in the world blind to my surroundings trying to make my own path which would only be a maze not to escape Jesus cut me loose from the cords of death giving new knowledge to resist my own desires and things which will fade away and prepare one for eternal kinship of love and peace teaching to love as a child before introduced to hatred and greed to bring back the peace within that only Jesus shall provide laying all our burdens to rest while we grow close and press forward allowing the spirit to change one into a new creation allowing the new thoughts to show in our everyday walk to nail the old self to the cross to remain in this world while our new temple shall rise above In this day of the Lord

For when we surrender our life to God we become new creatures. For when we are babies we are not tainted and are closer to our savior but as we get older we allow our selves to become tainted by the world leaving for people like you and I to write about Jesus/God to bring others to come to know Him!

Love it!! So many people are afraid to write about Jesus and His love for us, because they are afraid to offend someone. Thank you for this beautiful poem! and Merry Christmas (a bit early)

Merry Christmas to you and thank you for your comment, I ponder why so many are afraid and offended by the name of Jesus, for He is Love, He loved me more than myself and changed who I am, God Bless you Nicole for standing for our Lord
