ears and mouth

ive tried to hear it, really i have.
ive waited and been patient
to hear the kings voice.
but nothing has come

am i too distracted?
have i not studied his word?

questions abound in the silence
keeping faith and trust,
i wait to hear something, anything

morality

justification should not be your guide
earthly morality should not be your rational
your life is not your own

striving to live for the king's will
following his actions
is what the goal really is

while acknowledging personality
and individual nature,
we must still examine our actions
under the light of the king

so brothers and sisters
we need to orient or lives to him
if an action is not in his will
abolish it, for it means nothing

pursue only what the king wants
for we are his children

the focus

the king sits on his throne
and i at his feet
i look to his eyes
yet deep he sleeps

questions i have
he gives no answer
requests that i give
he does not fill

i tug on his robe
he does not stir
i sit, and think
listening for his voice

silence but a few snores
the quieter i get
the louder the noise
until i realize

the king does not slumber
it is i.

a change must come

last week i was shared one of the most powerful messages to hit me yet..

when the king has returned
and the end has come
when i stand before my master
at the gates to his home

i will not stand alone
but with the world beside me
all friends and family
no-one will be forgotten

then the book will be opened
and my name will be read
but the friend to each side
their name may not be said

as i step through the gate
into an eternal life with my king
the friends who i have loved
and kept by my side
will ask me one last thing
before i never see them again

"you knew about all of this
the glory that i see now
and you never once told me?
today i am turned away
from eternal paradise
and you had the key all these years?"

my heart will shatter
and i will realize,
the love i have for these people
will mean nothing because
i stood still

from this day on
i will never stand still
my heart will begin to burn
i will ask my king
for all strength he can give me
to share his message

a change is coming brothers and sisters
