Unamazing Grace?

 

The Bible saturates the head with serious insights

Previously, the lonely doubter was an idle spectator of her own faith,

Where, much of God was understood as dull rhetoric

 

God  yanks her from delusions of moral compliance

Pushing her to feel that helplessness common to man

Stop preaching morals to a tired & trying heart…

 

Spiteful gossips and their manic grins

Bothering the sinner with their rat-like (toxic) curiosity

As qualified moralists, devouring the poor child

 

Convicting the heart,

breaking the heart…

Entire spirit in quiet chaos.

 

The sinner is Guilty but acquitted

Stained but flawless

Evil but good


These are boring contradictions beyond her understanding

Her lack & disinterest!

 Oh God, Feed her empty head!


God will give wisdom to a starving mind.

Grace will land tenderly on a taut head,

God will  unzip a new mindset


Hang on, joy is coming 

The heart will giggle again

It will be Amazing! Amazing Grace.

Stop preaching moral compliance without preaching helplessness/weakness at the Throne of Christ

Some comical relief...he he he

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94RGsTvipXs&t=503s

the burden of catechetical instruction

 

My eyes release teary promises I wanted to keep,

A sister wanted to win…

…now we shush the senses to a permanent pause,

..a premature halt…a random fullstop. 

… the ego,

defers this hot defiance to godly oblivion…

 

up there! Upward! . Into white paradise…

 

 

Down here though

…The world…a lonely den,

A finite box of hectic busyness…into nought.

A perishable indulgence…into nought.

A false forever…into nought

Platitudes from a loving friend – eternally irrelevant,

Nothing here, nothing there,

just an insidious zero that’s all!

 

 

One thing now, is clear…

I may find release in silly words…

but my linguistic range cannot explain

The burden of catechetical instruction on my soul,

I move tentatively into theology

with timid wisdom as guide..

 

*A perceiving of glorious love.

*  Godward into beautiful theology

 

…A sinner is warmly received…

 

*A perceiving of glorious love.

*Godward into beautiful theology

 

…“even angels yearn to look into these things”
