Divinely Flawed

I don’t need thunder
to feel the rumble,
nor lightning
to sense storm’s flash

nor icons to tear
nor statues to bleed
to realize within all
creation, God’s sacred 
omnipotent cache -- 

Yet, while in the smallest
unlimited vastness – 

and in the deepest fathomless 
depth --

admittedly, all by grace of Almighty
God,

little joy would remain for me 
in life I am certain, if denied

here and above

our simple
very flawed 
expressions of
human love….

Divinely Empowered

In the depths of your being, there lies a spark,
A divine flame, lighting up the dark.
Empowered from within, you'll surely see,
The strength to conquer, to be truly free.

God within you, the source of all might,
Guiding your steps, in the darkest night.
With every breath, feel the power surge,
Unlocking potential, like a sacred dirge.

To remain empowered, stay connected deep,
To your inner self, where secrets keep.
Forge a bond, intimate and true,
With the God within, in all you do.

Love like Jesus, forgive with grace,
Walk in faith, in every place.
Pray with power, evangelize bold,
Study, obey, let your story unfold.

Overcome desires, conquer every vice,
With divine empowerment, break the ice.
Face life's trials, with unwavering stride,
For within you, God's power resides.

So let your light shine, with divine decree,
For empowered within, you are truly free.

What Is Torn

** What’s Torn **

What’s been torn off or away may be
a recurring theme — of dreams or memory —
that nags, popping up unexpectedly
to recall or, for dear losses, again grieve…

The things thieved 
from life — as divinely conceied,
like the Amazon forest’s trees — 
don’t leave, but remain in a spectral reality…

What’s been torn away 
may similarly refuse to leave —
like my calve, cut from my body, will scream,
sending phantom pain in suffered agonies…
	
What was seized from me on that mournful day,
— sculpted by dancing ballet for a decade,
stayed as I went from anestesized to awake
into a daytime nightmare without any escape…

When life sends us to dire places,
where hopelessness would subjugate us,
God will guard our souls and grace us 
with a strength: resounding to the soul…

Left ragged, like having my health fail
in reaching goals, I will feel my heart wail
near breaking, but I refuse to  let my faith pale
…believing the prayers of heaven will entail
blessings to help all God’s children prevail.

Divinely Introverted

Isolation was 
SUCH a
WELCOME EXCUSE!

Oh my God.
There, I said it...
My selfish soul.

My So, Soooo Selfish:

Soul.

But, no remorse...

What were my old excuses again?

I mean... 

Whatever.

Divinely Cuddled

Wrapped up close to your heart,
arms I can’t find my way out of;
That’s okay you’re right where I belong; 
Completely safe, divinely cuddled.

Divinely Crafted: Embracing God's Love and Purpose

In the reflection of divine light, I stand,
A child of God, created by His hand.
Clothed in His image, a vessel of grace,
Chosen and cherished in Heaven's embrace.

No earthly words or judgments can define,
The worth I hold, a treasure so divine.
For I am crafted with love's tender touch,
A masterpiece formed, loved oh so much.

In the depths of my soul, I find my might,
Unwavering purpose, a guiding light.
No doubts can tarnish this sacred flame,
For God's love within me forever claims.

Fearfully and wonderfully designed,
A testament to grace, with gifts enshrined.
I embrace my journey with steadfast embrace,
Knowing God's love guides me in every space.

So, let no voice or doubt cause me to sway,
In my Father's love, I find strength each day.
For I am a child of God, cherished and blessed,
Forever in His arms, eternally at rest.

We Are Divinely In Him- Cr

 Good New Day 
Beloved Daughter 
We ask the Father 
Who We believe 
We rejoice with a full and grateful heart 
And sound mind.  
That His spirit that is alive and working in us. 
As we see the evidence of His presence
WE ARE DIVINELY IN HIM-       
All around us. 
Those smallest details 
of our very life. 
He so lovingly surrounds us
With Indescribable Peace, Joy and Love...
 Regardless of what we are 
We whom are facing this moment. 
We lift up our words 
WE ARE DIVINELY IN HIM-       
Words of praise to you Father. 
You who are smiling down on us. 
Knowing we are loved and cared for 
By you Elohim creator of the universe 
And the heaven in Jesus wonderful name. 
We're thankful that we say and we pray 
WE ARE DIVINELY IN HIM-  
in Jesus name Amen

Marcus's Divinely Silent Purpose

Purple and red of a very rare sunset flowing up - 
Are the colours of the Cremisan wine where Christ did die, 
That the rays of grace may shine when every star is present, 
That the divine sparks may rejoice in the taste of the cup, 
Though it’s a brief moment in the black, directionless sky, 
After the red sun of grace went in the cup in descent. 

Marcus vocalised “May the speech made before any sound, 
Fill your burning cores, increase knowledge in you this advent, 
By the mustard seed planted into your hearts that get by.” 
Through these words, the largest cup next to the small cup renowned, 
Purple, red outpours as meant.

Divinely Starstruck

come with me
to the sea
filled with glee
where we can Be

cheers for us
we now not fuss
no more we cuss
no blood or pus

Praises To God
are never odd
we are a Divine Squad
with AllWays a Friendly Nod

Divinely Sufficed

Cleaving to the Lord’s omnipotent love
offered as gift from Almighty above
reaching down to me with abounding grace---
...my soul’s vital need for triumphant race.

Pleasing God while seeking gracious favor
nourished by His omniscient truth savor
blest along entrusted stewardship role---
...my faith ascends toward fulfillment goal.

Compassion-driven against selfish greed
propelled by the Saviour’s power indeed
I confess arrogance lurking in vain---
...as my heart yearns for contentment bliss-gain.

Propped upward kingdom-engagement though weak
grateful still for constant revival peak
my spirit abides* in the will of Christ
…desideratum, divinely sufficed.

*John 15:4 Abide in me (Jesus Christ), and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

Beautiful Scenes Divinely Born, One of Three

*************
Beautiful Scenes And Treasures Divinely Born

Downward ...
	Soft specks falling,
Like echoes frozen white
Whispers sent from December skies
Downward.

(The Ancient Tree )..
Thereinto awe its magnificent trunk
sinking its teeth into soft virgin ground
earth paying no heed as each deeper sunk
as to its firm teether, the tree was bound.

Above grown reaching for bright sky and sun
umbrella limbs hanging massive and long
biggest was giant arms weighing a ton
handy stages for songbirds and sweeter song.

Morning sun's rays glistening eager leaves
as the dancing breeze moved them too and fro
beauty that stirs mankind to God believe
divine hands painted Nature's sweeping show.

Ancient tree in hidden forest gleaming
With beauty sublime and clear brooks streaming.

Winter  ...
   Ground creamy white,
Trees, moaning pallid skies
Children thanking Christmas break and
Winter.

Divinely Astounded

Divinely astounded
my spirit, with awed reverence
gratefully exalts* the magnificent Almighty
while enthralled blissfully midst heavenly aria
heralded by angelic hosts in glorious adoration’s worship.

Reigning with jubilant triumph
prevailing over my redeemed soul 
once grievously astounded by iniquities’ guilt…
Scriptural faith granted by the Saviour Whom I trust 
exudes assured aura of unwavering virtuous championship.

With earnest beseeching
to the Lord I then yield my heart
now hallowed and righteously astounded
for compassion-driven service against vain attraction
inflicting to my stewardship --- perpetual aching of celestial loss.

Thus, when carnality creeps in
astounding my flesh with arrogance-flair
hoisting self upon human nature’s dominion…
I entreat the Holy Ghost for His engulfing clemency
To keep me bound, expectant for His meekness zeal-revival.

*Psalm 118:28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

Divinely-Driven

Divinely
driven,
dear faith* of mine…
depends
definitely on the LORD Who
directs and
distinctively upholds stance as my spirit 
drawn nigh to Christ is…
determined
decisive and
desirous as well
delighted to
do God’s will
despite 
difficulties
distress and
despair.

*Mark 10:52 And Jesus said…, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole.

Fair Maiden, Sweet Princess, Divinely Sent

Fair Maiden, Sweet Princess, Divinely Sent

In festering sea, brackish waters merged with salt
we found our earthly lives, almost came to a halt.
Maiden fair, standing so proud and with honor free
O' how majestically, all marvel at thee!

Beautiful princess, olden gods blessed thee true
thy graceful words, truth shown courageous and anew.
Never again, shall man see one so fine and fair
with thy gentle smiles and luminous golden hair.

How rests thee? Far away in heavenly abode?
Thou art truly missed, rarest treasure once bestowed.
Pray we true, for thy most blessed and safe return
precious gift we seek yet in no way can we earn.

Pray thee! Cast thy soft countenance upon our shores.
Relieve us from this dark house, its decaying floors.

Robert J. Lindley,
Sept 6th, 1986
