Even in the midst
of your lust and lies
The ignorance,
Where things of Earth
anaesthetise you to life
Even in the moment
of exact pain and sin
Stuck
Stolen
Scared
God has no illusions
he already knows us
everything about us
intimately
always has,
and in that very moment
God pursues us
to love us
to be Love in us

so Do not live
in the void away from God
Do not sit in there
in nothing
ignoring

for impossibilities
bow to God
bow to the Indestructible Christ,

Put to death
what belongs to the earth
Die to self
love and live to the Spirit
in restoration of heart
transformation of will
Renewing of mind
growing God in you,
releasing the Father’s heart
body and soul under the prompting
of His Spirit
Changing to, from
the creator’s image.

In this you will display
Jesus flowing through you
The presence and power of God,
Live now
as you will be
in eternity.

Starting Thoughts:
Knowing the worst of us, in our darkest moments, or the best of us in what we think are our crowning moments, God knows us, loves us the same. He has no illusions about who we are, but He loves us the same.
