Living Water

In this poem,"passion" is my desire for full and joyful life. Maybe writing this poem is the beginning of that full and joyful life. & it was quite a freeing process. Enjoy. -Thanks for reading

My heart,

Overflows with passion,

Ebbing,

Marks people like water,

Men young & old,

I let  them see my passion,

A good head, on good shoulders,

A heart overflowing,

New me?

Old passion.

Still pouring,

Finding no outlet,

Running deeper,

Marking men like rough waters,

In a grand canyon,

New christian,

New passion,

Running to the throne,

Again, more still,

“Lord that sin, to be honest was fun.”

Please,

Redirect my passion,

Time to replace those idols,

The gods of fear, self-hate, pleasure,  & laziness,

It’s been too long,

Too many times I have fallen,

For those gods,

Commandment #1, and a few others,

I have neglected,

I blame my “sin nature”, when do I claim His nature?

I believe,

I will always be a “water-marker”,

As much influence as gravity,

While leaving traces,

Giving glimpses,

Of my content,

This current is forever owned by the Most High.

And I,

Was made to pour into the outlet that is the world,

And He,

Showed me that outlet, had begun to pour into me more often than not,

This water inside me lives!

Have I forgot?

That I was paid for,

With the price of blood,

And in the new me,

He has made outlets,

To be used at all times,

Evangelism, fellowship, ministry, talents & interests, were given to me along with my “water-marker” destiny!

Who knew?

                         

                                 “ God is my refuge and strength,

a helper who is always found,

in times of trouble.”

-Psalms 46:1

Author's Note

Too much of a ramble?

I personally believe that many sins are taking the good that God intends for us, and pointing them in the wrong direction. Your poem is an excellent reminder of that, and your identity is in Him first. Love it! :)

A nice poem with a strong message. Hope keeps us all going :)

Personally, I think underlining "He" is completely unnecessary. "He" already emphasizes itself as you read the poem.
