truth

by Susan Irene Fox

When listening to my Father’s call

the world attempts to use disguise

to lead me into my downfall

when lies are truth and truth are lies.

The Gospels lift me up to soar,

and daily mind and heart restore.

 

The words of Jesus free my thoughts

and bring me back to God’s embrace

to focus on the things I ought;

on love, compassion and His grace.

He came not to condemn but save

and all my sins expunged, forgave.

 

Abiding in the Spirit shows

me how to be and how to live.

Christ’s light from Living Water flows;

this fact holds no alternative.

The truth from fruit’s essential seeds

is God’s great source from which He feeds.

 

Because I sustain nourishment

from my Savior’s bread of life,

His voice of love is sweet assent

which melts and calms the daily strife.

God always is my Number One;

His wisdom never is outdone.

 

So say your truth, but I know His.

I am to open heart and hands,

to welcome all, and more than this;

to care for orphans, widows and

to reconcile the world, employ

God’s grace and wisdom, love and joy.

 

“I guarantee this truth: every believer has eternal life. I am the bread of life.” (John 6:47-48)

“For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who cares for the truth hears my voice.” Pilate asked him, “What is truth?” (John 18:37-38)

And the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. (Galatians 5:22-23)

A Guest Post

by Susan Irene Fox

 

Your fragrant scent is like a rose,

Perfume which, when inhaled, does flow

Throughout each cell to calm and ease;

Your Spirit lifts with harmonies.

 

Each bird delivers highs and lows,

the notes your whisper tells in prose.

Your voice delivers sweet mercies,

Your Spirit lifts with harmonies.

 

Delicious taste of berries sows

a hunger for the wisdom those

red words of Jesus’ scripture pleas;

Your Spirit lifts with harmonies.

 

Your touch upon my heart bestows

the softest love I’ll ever know

and coupled with your grace agrees

Your Spirit lifts with harmonies.

 

The sunrise wakens me and shows

just why it’s You I finally chose;

and glad I am you’ve chosen me,

Your Spirit lifts with harmonies.

The Great Divide (#Guest Blogger)

11 Sunday Dec 2016

Posted by Susan Irene Fox in Guest Bloggers on BnV

≈ Leave a comment

Tags

God, Humility, Joy, Love, Spirit, Unity

Somehow, the words to this song remind me of our relationship with God.

Humbling, joyous, unifying.

 

I never knew I lost you till I found you
And I never guessed how close you were to me
And now I wanna throw my arms around you
Tell a thousand tales that will astound you
Everything about you tells me this was meant to be, don’t you see

I’m on your side
Let’s take this ride
And together we’re facing the world
Doing things nobody’s done before
And the great divide
Doesn’t seem so wide anymore

I can’t recall what life was like without you
Now it feels as though we’ve never been apart
Tell me every tiny thing about you
Anything you’ll say I’ll never doubt you
We’re meant to be together I can feel it in my heart
It’s just the start

I’m on your side
Let’s take this ride
And together we’re facing the world
Doing things nobody’s done before
And the great divide
Doesn’t seem so wide

And if you’ll be there beside me when I falter
(You’ll be there beside me when I falter)
Then whatever comes I know we’ll take it all in stride
(Take it all in stride)
I’m on your side

The great divide
Doesn’t seem so wide

I’m on your side
Let’s take this ride
And together we’re facing the world
Doing things nobody’s done before
And the great divide
Doesn’t seem so wide anymore

Do it Anyway

04 Sunday Dec 2016

Posted by Susan Irene Fox in Guest Bloggers on BnV

Choices, Christian poetry, Faith, God, Light, Love, Prayer, Spirit, Struggle

The daily struggles that we feel

To keep our faith with Jesus real

To honor God, obey His call

Means we must offer love to all so all will heal.

 

When speaking to our God in prayer

We often talk of what is fair

We sense a daily push and pull

Yet His love cannot fill us full; we must repair.

 

Our choice to walk with Him can free

Or keep us locked in chains, you see

We love our friends and enemies

Or walk away, do what we please; our destiny?

 

He said it best. “The world will know

Us by our love.” Yes, we must show

His heart, His light, though not our trait.

Abide in God, the Spirit’s weight through us will glow.

by Susan Irene Fox

 

(Chorus to song) God is great, but sometimes life ain’t good
When I pray it doesn’t always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway

Away ©Martina McBride and The Warren Brothers

Paradoxical Calamity

Paradoxical calamity

Conforming to Eternity;

Strident Sound of Purpose Calling,

Blazing Light Endlessly Falling

Piercing the Darkness of my eyes,

While Unto Forever my Spirit Cries.

Tide of Morning

Tide of Morning, Call Unto Me,

Lifting my Spirit from the Realm of Unknown,

Bright Star of Daytide, Singing Sweetly,

Breaking the Spell of my Transitory Musings,

Drawing me back into Possibility.

Beckon me, then, into treachery,

Guide me through audacious perfidy,

A Single Candle in the galling darkness,

As dew Glistening in the Tide of Morning.

Grandfather Spirit

Tall, Olden Spire,
Grandfather Spirit,
Towering over me as I plod,

Gracing my efforts with Dappled Shade
When the Sun beats down to scorch in blistering Tirade.

Protecting my languishing with Embracing Arms
When the Gales blow from the North to Twist and harm.

Singing in Sweet Mystery to ease my childlike fears
When hoarfrost Gathers and jagged ice falls and tears.

Living Master
Of Time, Resisting,
Watching, Silent, as I toil,

Spreading your Loving Boughs in Resplendent Hue,
Claim our seeking avarice before there are far too few,
Of You.

.

Spirit of Illumination

Dancing Apparition
Filling Dreams with Light,
Guiding the Passage of
The Autumnal Night.
Spirit of Illumination
Rocking in the Glittering Spangle,
Filling my Thoughts
With a Mystical Tangle
Of Premonition and
Golden Fantasy;
Amber Orb in the Heavens
Ever Magic To Me.

Enchanted Symphony

The Music of my Heart
Sings in its Utmost Sweetness,
Only of You.

The Symphony of my Spirit
Plays a tune Blissfully Sublime,
Only for You.

The Enchantment of my Mind
Dreams in shades Breathtaking and True,
Only about You.

Dearest Love!
Most Beautiful Man!
Who has, all in all,
Swayed my Heart From Fancying any other.
Let me Sing this Enchanted Symphony
Only With You.

Wherever Love Goes

Wherever Love Goes
It Urges Mercy and Justice.

Whenever Love Speaks
It Sings Kindly and Gently.

Whatever Love Teaches
It Inspires Honesty, Truth, and Encouragement.

Whatever Love Gives
It Fills with Compassion and Generosity.

May Love Walk with us, Speak Through us,
Teach our Spirits to Sing Harmoniously,
And Give Selflessly
So we may Never Walk Alone.

Sweetest Spirit

Sweetest Spirit
Known to my Heart in her most Secret Chamber,
Loving Kindred Soul who Speaks to Me,
Though Long Parted,
Our Unity Yearns to Drink again from the same Blessed Chalice of Love
As Once it did,
Though that long past Moment Echoes in Memory like discordant chimes,
A Clangor of Sound Pealing in the Distance,
Unheeded and Untended.

Sing, Sweetest Spirit,
Oh Sing, to this Kindred Flame!
Sing in Blessed Harmonious Rhyme to my Wandering Heart Again!
Sing with Your most Handsome voice,
That Stirs my Soul, untimely,
For Though I See and Hear You, Love,
Our Hearts are Left Alone and Mute,
Locked in Distance that shatters the Euphoria of Reminiscence,
And like the Serrations of a Merciless Blade
Wounds my Heart with each Moment we are Alone.
So Lost is She without Your Love,
So Empty and without Bearing,
Adrift upon the Sea of Life
Like a Frozen Ember that once was Searing.

Remember Me, Oh Sweetest Spirit,
Remember Us, and Sing!
Sing of Harmony, as Once You Sang,
And Make Eternity, Once More, to Ring!

~Morgan~

Flying Free

In the Clouds as the Sun Shall Rise
Into the Breeze, my Spirit Flies,
Like a Falcon, Sharp and Steep,
Hovering O’er the Secrets I Keep,
Past the Winsome Moon as she Smiles,
Through the Rainbow as she Beguiles,
My Spirit Dances Upon the Skies,
Leaving me Breathless with giddy Sighs,
As Up into the Clear Cosmos I Float,
Where Heaven’s Angels Wait and Dote
Upon my Every Care, Touching with Joy,
Gentle Wisdom to Employ
While I Dream of Flying Free
And My Spirit Releases the Turmoil in Me.

Inspired by the Beautiful Poem “Dreamscape” by Richard Dankers found at : http://richardankerswrites.wordpress.com/2014/02/24/dreamscape-2/

In the Fullness of Time

In the bleak, barren wastes of Life,
Where Solitude and Loneliness try to shackle and bind me,
In dimness, In despair,
My Heart gazes Heavenward, seeking the Light that Will Guide me,
Staring into the Colours of Eternity with Hope and Joy,
Unrepentant of my stubborn Faith,
Radiant with Calm Certainty,
He who is Meant for me Shall come in the Fullness of Time and Spirit,
Riding upon the Wings of Blessing,
With Hands and Heart outstretched,
Searching and Longing even as I do,
Thus, I wait upon Bended Knee,
Brash and Brazen in my Trust
Of The One who Creates and Directs my Path,
Until the Bell tolls that Blessed Hour.

~Morgan~
