The Depth of Acknowledgement
1 John 1:9 KJV - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
THE DEPTH OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
a shame to not know the condition of your soul -
be joyful in the depth of acknowledgement.
it is like taking a rosewater bath,
the cleansing of the sullied parts,
the soul glows eternally grateful.
if we confess, we clean up our mess…
it is not really us
but God does the work
the perk of listening to his Son
“who is faithful and just”
like a groom to the bride, Jesus is faithful.
our sins can be forgiven though he is just.
Father God sees his Son’s righteousness
wrapped around us. the second Adam
came to reclaim what was lost. man’s tongue
tied in knots as Satan slithered in Eden, but
now the fruit of doom’s untangled to bless
instead of cursing oneself.
how clean is clean? a hot coal burns
your lips, unsealed to receive sips
of living water. dunked underwater
so sin will come undone
and you will drown forevermore
in Jesus’ love.
don’t be afraid to close the lid
on the departed, to bask
in the new you —
you look fabulous
in your saintly garb,
not at all confused.
you're at peace. Jesus
restores what the devil stole from you —
your marriage, your kids, life’s genuine jewels.
if you were too far gone
down the rabbit hole,
plucked from quicksand,
just in time,
his shepherd rod and crook
will gently guide
you to a hope and a future.
Shake off the rattle of the serpent,
the wild skin rots your flesh —
the uproarious joy of the Lord
raises the roof beyond all comparison…
look around at the weak imitation
of the Niagara, a clear night of stars,
the Rainbow Mountains, cherry blossoms
in season…i could go on.
The afterlife party with the Son will be heavenly.
