Drenching, filling,

The Scent

28.10.2018 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

You know the One,
hearing about His life,
Celebrating God stories
living the future
of hope for the world,
only in the face
of fear,
is Bravery found
the step-out risk,
holding true tension
between full release
of identity in Christ
and actions that tell
His story,
You are sent
this week - sent
Going home - sent
opening the door - sent
starting to care - sent
driving to work - sent
busing to school - sent
asking can you pray - sent

The scent fragrance of Christ.

The Seed

22.07.2018 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

I hold tight
arms by side
clenched fists
white knuckles.

The seeds
enclosed in my hands
potential of abundant life
Possibilities of change,
flickers of future,
I stand in
turbulent clouds swirl
searing sun,
Soft seeking snow,
seasons of temperature,
Time could just roll
by speeding to death,
What would be the point?

What is the risk?
Can I risk?
Can I break fear?

I call to the Lord
Seed giver
soul lover,
"Take my all
Who I am
is only made
Real and true
in You,
Lord of life
let this step
be seeking you
knowing Your lifetime’s
divine appointments,
I love you Lord,
It can only be You"

Stepping from the path
Finding the moment of
feet grounded in the soil
my hand opening
Opening my palm,
And on creases
Of my life lines
seeds lie ready
To be thrown
the fields are ready
To grow and multiply
a harmony harvest.
and I throw
to sow.
The treasure
of the world
hope, dreams,
waits in our ready
hands,
Is made alive
As we scatter
love moments
Love seeds
Love's heart power
from the Lord.

Prompt
The seeds we have to sow lie ready in our hand. From the parable of the sower. Are you ready to find divine moments in your week?

Sharing your faith by sowing seed poetry, spoken word

Circle Cross

09.06.2018 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

Outside
floating life
shouting and silence
loving and laughter
coffees and carefree
anger and angst,
working and waiting,
drugs and dilemmas,
hugs and hell,
Facebook friends
Instagram insincerity
distraction demands.

But in our house
the World is different,
exciting energy
family friendships
christian colours
threaded together
soul saviour
connected collective.

Still human
Never perfect
Softly placed
We stand,
Christ centered
Faith freed
Resurrection realness
Hearts held
Living loved
Adoration awe
Graced glory.

And deep
in this love,
activated authority,
we cross streets
of life,
vulnerable,
to workmates,
to friends,
neighbours
inviting intimacy into
God's closer.

Cross to be blessed blessings
Cross to help hope
Cross to heal hurt
Cross to mission ministry
Cross to lift life
Cross to live love.

Called to Live

20.05.2018 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

The first call
rang out on
a stony beach,
"I will make you fishers,
catchers, of others”,
And Jesus walked
years of moments,
day and night sharing,
thinking, giving,
living with his hands,
touching crowds and individuals,
from miracles to healing
human mistakes,
growing his friends
developing disciples
Sharing his God
Sharing his life.

The last pass
of his earth journey
climbing the Mount of Olives
Jesus spoke, encouraged
“Go and make disciples”
and He left,
Left the kingdom
on Earth to our
Spirit empowered hands.

What is in your hand?
Carry it
use it,
Step out

Draw one step closer to God
Draw others one step closer
to God's kingdom,
You are it
the purposeful love
Now spirit aware of people
present in your world
praying for your world,
you stand, sit and go places
that no one else does,
and so with intentional relationship,
friendship moments,
Speaking to the gold in others
so they can become precious,
Live life together
conversations, a helping hand
hugs, generous words,
tears and hard times,
an influence.

You are
doing life with the one
you are
an answer
You are love
on feet,
Open your home
open your heart
open your hands.

1 Thessalonians 2:8

Prompt
How do we share our faith, make disciples, do we live from the love that we know?

Be Truth

09.08.2015 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

Truth moved
into the neighbourhood
Sent to relate,
A mission
In fragmented, scattered lives
In the uncaring, indifferent.

Opening
New beginnings,
Restoration of lives
to God
to others,
Doing from being
centered in Christ,
Followers deepened in faith.

Sharing love, hope, questions,
laughter, pain, dreams.

There is so much more,
Reach for it.
Be the truth.

Starting Thoughts: How do we keep our love on and make a choice to connect with neighbours? In a world retreating from community and relationships we can be radical, show radical to others around us.

Call

16.06.2012 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

The phone rings
Repeated tones
buzzing your mind's corner
It rings...
How long are you
Waiting?
What will you
do now?

You are called,
It rings...
called to be a light
called to know
love and cleansing
from Jesus.
Like Twelve Disciples
changers of the world...
You?
In school
At work
Play and sport
University and polytechnic
At home, over the fence,
Peacemakers
calling justice
Action for new life
To shattered relationships,
To those picked-on
When will you pick-up?

Only in power
from God
Holy Spirit -
we await,
pick up, risk, step
Responding
to Your call,
Jesus
Your call,
People
Your call.

Starting Thoughts: Twelve people heard a call and the world was irrevocably changed as a result. If we hear the call changes will happen around us also, one person at a time.

Milk Spilt

02.04.2012 Filed in: Poetry |Seeker |Christian |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

Just Born
Exciting New birth
closeness to breast,
milk sustaining,
love relationship of touch,
tender words
Feeding on the tone of voice, words,
the hugs,
Not sure how to communicate needs
Sometimes just crying, unformed sounds,
Listening to the story, seeing the pictures
through learning eyes

Maturing
Milk part of the past,
Although a glass,
Every now and then, is good.
Feeding
in the Word,
Open to questions,
Knowing full reassurance of faith,
Solid, in honest
love with God,
Given in a daily walk.

Milk Delivery
Open the door
to today’s living, your world,
backpack slung over shoulder
ready with stored milk cartoons,
Searching, lead to
another new birth.

Hearing a Call

18.04.2010 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

Time of peaceful meaning
night praying and praising
in joy of knowing God,
A circle of fellow believers
sharing the strength
of a loving father,
In coffee fellowship
I took long black
ate biscuit
and talked with new friends,
Yet somehow
drawn
to curtains of
the warm room,

I stepped behind comfortable
drape colours…
looked out,A world of dusk lights
stained buildings
of people facing past regrets
living a life
looking for full,
my heart broke
with God’s love
for those without
friend of a personal God,
the lonely,
scared of ultimate true love
covered in tarmac
walking crowded
empty streets.

In my lone place
tuned to God
I prayed,
“Use Me Lord.”

Starting Thoughts: Sometimes when you have something marvellous you want to share about it. We can't keep to ourselves the beauty of knowing Christ and joy and fun of knowing family in the church - a home away from home.

Doors

10.06.1980 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

Doors are simple things
push, or pull
how many times
do I pull
instead of push?
they open
you step through.
A different world
on the other side,
Thresholds of new
but fear makes doors complex;
locks, smart card swipes
to keep the world shut out.

In the black wandering
of my life
suddenly
I found myself wondering
in front of a darkened door,
Why had it appeared here
suspended in today’s
moments midst,
light cracking through
its outside edges,

Unexpectedly
a knock from the other side,
I thought
nothing was there
nothing beyond this life,
but someone
is waiting, standing
sending rhythm beats to my heartbeats.

In confusion anger
I reacted, “Go away”
"You have no right
to be here”,
“you don’t exist!"
I closed my eyes
and tried to think
of something real,

the knock sounded again fainter…thinner
unreal.
