A Place of Fear

A heaviness clouds my mind

my heart shivers with anticipation

the inability to foresee what is to come

has been making me crazy

A flame on a match

the sweet toxin of cigarette smoke

fills my lungs with a calmness

leaving the worst kind of perfume

There is no origin for this feeling

no way to ease it

for how could I fix it? 

if it is to fear nothing

Those with faith promise immortality

in the after life

But what is the point of living in the now

if we are all waiting to die 

so eager to live a life worthy 

of such a vague heaven

Living morally is wonderful

but should we not give just to give

not because we are afraid of damnation? 

wouldn't it be lovely if we were kind

from a place of love in our hearts

not from a place of fear 

Perhaps this is what God intended 

maybe not

either way It is how I will choose to live

I can't see the future for good reason

I wouldn't be able to live for today.

Amber you share some great insight-Questions, We take in the toxin to gain some peace idk maybe somewhat comfort, I smoke so yeah. Fix 1 day at a time not for a reason but yet the want of all, the want out weighs the can I. We can do nothing. Sure being their for one another is a great comfort , but through us who really does the work? You know the answer as do I.
Philippians 4:13

New King James Version (NKJV)


13 I can do all things through Christ[a] who strengthens me.
That's pretty bold statement:) The point of living now is God created me and God created you to meet within the footsteps of life to share this beautiful wonder inside:) the reasons of Christ to set stones and not cast them about, to build together from afar. To share the gospel of the word. People say the Word died, how is that. What is faith? Is faith more than a build made from wood and stone? The true gospel is inside us and around us. The true faith is believing:) Fear there are two kinds the kind of fear that scares us and the kind of fear where we walk in the light of Christ feeling the wonder as if they were electric and warm that embrace us and hold us.
