Lip Service

The strangest battle ever won.

Nothing comes close to understanding until you paint the picture.

It's hard to describe.

Only coming clear and easy to relate when I read scripture.

Pretty much, I have learned, that it is the only way.

Opposing forces and hostile enemies rotting minds for centuries…

Eons!

Pleading to God that they won’t control mine.

Blinded with my eyes and deaf with my ears,

but I see and hear with my heart and soul.

This I still can't control.

Faith is a solution,

the devil is pollution.

Placing my body in the hands of the power of above 

and not needing an answer.

His works are delivered by me,

It might sound different,

but the essence is the same.

Sometimes I don't know what to do…

A dilemma I am always dealt with,

so I don't do anything,

leave it be.

Lip service,

prayer to seek his will.

When I see people.

I don't see bodies;

I see souls seeking inspiration and hope,

such as I,

for I am not afraid of what is to come to me in life.

For it has a purpose!

Fighting a battle for so long,

but it doesn't belong to me.

For it is not my battle ground.

Although, I feel I am beaten and down,

my head is low,

but my spirit is high for the battle is won

because I was given the word of god!
Not wanting to be as a beggar with asking,

but receiving him.

Standing in a valley of tears and darkness

to get to A valley of blessings!

Oh my goodness. The title is so misleading! I clicked it because I thought it was about "Kissing" but you just mind blown me by converting a "Lustful Inscription" into a "Beautiful Masterpiece" You sir, are a child of God. You walk with Jesus. This is amazing! Amen! *smiles* (:

Thank you CINtsaLis! I highly appreciate that and that's what I love to hear and why I write.
Thank you so much.

I loved reading this from begining to end. It was full of amazing lines! I think my favorite if i had to pick one was:

"Faith is a solution,
the devil is pollution."

but then this:

"Sometimes I don't know what to do…
A dilemma I am always dealt with,
so I don't do anything,
leave it be."
It almost reminds me of one of my favorite modest mouse song "I came as a rat" and wonder what inspired this poem.

I love Modest Mouse. They are also one of my favorite bands.
Well a whole lot of believing i'm nothing and other things put me in a dark place and after coming out of the other side with several sets of eyes, things do get better...
Thank you so much for reading and letting me know what you like about it. I'm also glad to find out we both like Modest Mouse. That's awesome!
I really appreciate you stopping by Ms. Stone.

I realized lately the devil comes close to us
and makes us over think
seriously when ever i catch myself talking or thinking too much
i can imagine a little devil near lol

i just shoo him away with a cup of tea
love your ideas here and finding peace in a prayer and staying close to god

[sinNsincerity]

Yes he does. He might take form in the people close to us and even ourselves. Faith can protect you from the insanity that is accompanied. Prayer is a solution for me and it never fails me.
Thank you so much for reading Nisreen.
God bless!

This is a very inspiring read. My faith has been restored by reading this :)

[sinNsincerity]

Wow, really!?
That is so amazing and has inspired me!
Thank you so much Gcina!

An impactful piece, composed out of powerful words and strong feelings, of devotion. Lip service referring to the prayers, the battle being called as the strangest, souls being perceived instead of bodies, all and more make it amazing.

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you Rana!

When I see people.
I don't see bodies;
I see souls seeking inspiration and hope,
such as I,

i really loved these lines...well penned indeed...

[sinNsincerity]

mmm, yes. once I learned this it took away the majority of my shyness; I still am on occasions, and it allowed me to be more outspoken and so much more...
Thank you so much!

[jeannemarie coulter]

Thank you Emily!

John 13:7. Every time I don't understand why something goes wrong in life, I turn here. It's a great reminder.

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you Lilly, I will always carry that with me!

[JayceeC]

Faith is always the answer, even when we don't understand the meaning of the fight. We do not have to. It is not ours alone. More people should strive to see souls and not bodies, that in itself is a struggle.
This is a beautiful Real testament of faith.The height of the mountain is best observed from the valleys. .

[sinNsincerity]

It really is and especially for me.
I would not be here today with out it.
Thank you for reading Jan!
