Premium Member The Strength In My Shadow

Today, everyday,
There are people that I talk to.
There are people that are "near."
Do they?
Do they see that shadow?
And if they do..
Why don't they help me ward it away?
There is a limit, you know.
A limit to what I'll actually show.
Instinctively, I openly concede others' happiness.
-I fall within my shadow.
-I hide behind my smile.
-As I crumble inside my whole.

Today, everyday,
There is God that I talk to.
There is God that is near.
He does,
He does see that shadow.
And when He does..
He unquestionably takes it away.
There is no limit, you know.
No limit to how much I can grow.
Instinctively, he replenishes my happiness.
-He follows me in my shadow.
-He reveals my true smile.
-As I grow stronger inside my soul.


Peace

As I sit and marvel at God’s creation, I can’t help but to wonder what awesome
power has created such tranquil surroundings. The mighty oaks with flush greenery, the
gentle, rolling hills of “The Great Smoky Mountains” and the sound of rushing water from a 
nearby creek. Living in such ideal conditions, the thought of chaos and violence is 
inconceivable. Yet, a closer glance at the place in which we call home suggest something
entirely different. The violent mysteries that are created by nature itself are infamously 
spectacular. Looking even closer, it seems that the wrath of God has been unleashed upon 
His very own. The very thought of devastating ruin creep into the foremost part of my mind. 
The universe in which we live seems to be even more wretched than our immediate
surroundings. Our vast and infinite universe is quite capable of annihilating our humble 
home. The wonders of God’s very own creation has left even the most intellectual beings 
from the past and present dumbfounded. Yet, God Almighty is the one in which we seek our 
refuge. Looking into the book that shows the blueprint of our very existence and the order in 
which we should live; the Bible lists peace as an absolute prerequisite for eternal salvation. 
God sent His only Son, Jesus, not to destroy, but to build a relationship between He and thee 
to establish peace in a seemingly cruel and violent environment. Follow the ultimate example 
of peace, Jesus, and only then will you find a truly tranquil and sublime place among such 
turmoil and devastating ruin.
