Poetic thoughts
GOD is holy -I am not.
He's full of goodness,
I have evil in my heart.
I tremble in fear
Because of GOD's wrath,
For He is righteous and just
Evil must be punished.
But GOD sent Jesus Christ,
The form of GOD's grace.
He sent Jesus to take my place.
Jesus is the bridge
Between the Just and unjust
He dissipates GOD's wrath toward me
And allows GOD's love to shine through.
If it wasn't for GOD's grace in Christ
I'd give up,
Curl up in a dark corner,
And die.
But His grace gives me hope.
GOD is a consuming fire.
Because of GOD's grace
Flowing from Christ's blood
I have hope.
Instead of the fire consuming me,
The fire warms me.
I can come out of the dark
Where I hide
Into the light of GOD
Because by GOD's grace in Jesus Christ
The light of the fire that's GOD
Won't burn me
But will warm and comfort me.
GOD's grace in Christ
Gives me hope to go on -
Even though I still fail -
Because He forgives me and releases me
From those failures
To go forward
Try again
And grow.

Collen that is such a wonderful poem. Did you write it yourself?
If so, you should be published. Well, I guess you kinda are published with this blog, but ya know what I mean. More people should know of your gift!
Yes, I wrote it a few weeks ago. I did have a poem published back in the early 80's. I have the book. Otherwise, I've published none. Most I wrote back around 20 years ago & most of those were when I was depressed. Not the greatest reading. Now I write when the Spirit leads - usually. Thanks Steph.
Oh, Colleen! All the great writers and artists were tortured souls. They did their best work when everything was crumbling! Remind me to get your autograph. I'd like to see the book sometime too!
:) Ok.
