The words were “Epic God” at the end of a page, catching my eyes and giving me a victorious feeling. In the night I called out to victory to know its uprising in me but it did not respond. There was only one way to know the empty part of me. With all diligence I walked into her eyes to see what would become of me; for I was a man of wonder and suspicion. Passing through the eyes illumined me through a new shedding of light. I spoke forth knowledge and wisdom without full understanding on my lips. Echoing in response was a scream of terror desiring to embrace what it had not grown arms to embrace. Though the conspicuous sound pierced my ears, I knew then in my own spirit it wanted something more. Still I refused to give up and spoke with a sword in my mouth. The evil thing came once more with a more piercing sound than before. Then again I spoke out once more and the tensions of terror were gone. I stumbled inside myself when I rejoiced in victory that the pain was gone, for on another day it came back. This time I knew not what to do except as the same I had done before. Time passed and the journey grew dim. Not knowing what to do about myself I walked out of the eyes of victory, but I did not give up on discovering who I am meant to be. Upon a midnight search I found a spear in my side when I looked at my soul. I finally knew my spirit was wounded from the inside out piercing my soul and flesh. I had this wound all along, even before I walked into the eyes of victory. So I had only one chance, one option to choose. I sat on my heart and looked at my spirit and said what am I to do? A gentle whisper came not sudden, but calm, saying, come follow me and I will show you my son. My boyhood flashed before my eyes as the one I call Heavenly Father said “Your missing self is not in someone else’s eyes, but only in your own. No one can fulfill you except you alone. I need your approval and I’ll fix the wound inside of you.” I agreed “Ok” as sincere as could be, but still days come that leave me pondering. The empty spots not filled through my dad or my mom or significant other. I always considered myself a human being with physical needs, but when I’m wounded it come all down to me. Only I or friend could remove the spear, but I know the Lord God will not leave it there in my being. For He is Jehovah Rapha, who is pursing me.
The Eyes of VictoryA Poem by Ian CravenThe words were “Epic God” at the end of a page, catching my eyes and giving me a victorious feeling. In the night I called out to victory to know its uprising in me but it did not respond. There was only one way to know the empty part of me.
