Your Hand Reached Down

??Isaiah? ?59:1?-?2? ?NIV??
[1] Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear. [2] But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.

Oh, God that I would question your reach
For it was the foolishness of me 
That had kept me in bondage of darkness
My arm not reaching to learn your ways
Blinded by the world teachings
And traditions of man 
That loves praise of man than you God
For this is where Jesus came to save us from
Oh, God your hand reached down
Unto the depths of my soul
Circumcising the old man to the grave
When I threw up my hands to know you
How abundant is your love, mercy and grace.
For greater is the Spirit sent from Jesus death
Than is in the darkness of mankind ruled by the evil one.
Your hand reaches down to snatch One from death.
To resurrect  one unto a Living Child of God

Hiya Sharma December 21, 2023 at 12:16 AM Wow, you've so wisely reflected a profound truth in the words ~ dear, Stephan. Negativities and darkness cage us in the abyss of illusions, lies and deceptions, as we can't seem to emancipate from this toxic aura and unknowingly, distance ourselves from the God, whilst questioning whether he is really there in the universe. God's power is supreme and soulful, beyond our fathomable capabilities... You've so rightly said this.. I really loved reading this, sending you light! Stephan McBride December 21, 2023 at 8:17 AM All glory to God, my dear friend, that has given us a way to be filled with His promised spirit, that we should seek all to inherit this gift, when the spirit dwells we know what all can become, a love for all in knowing Jesus came to bring the Children of the Living God in unity, May God bless, comfort, guide and fill you with His peace, love, spirit and joy in abundance: )

Valsa George December 15, 2023 at 12:44 AM We chain ourselves in darkness never noticing that God's loving hands are stretched down to lift us from the pit of darkness. When we finally see it and let Him guide us, grace and mercy in abundance will flow to us. He elevates us from death to everlasting life. As ever, your thoughts are divine Stephan!
