Encircling snare

Encircling snare

 In Naivety opening a dangerous can

 Leading down a treacherous  path

Innocent curiosity

 Turning into a monstrosity.

Losing site of the garden intent

Man and woman with God ever present

In His image designed.

Sin and Satan now leading the mind

Creating unhealthy desires

Dragging both parties into the mire

Women now objectified,

Men believing the lie,

“Images better than flesh”

“Woman are just objects”.

Serpent gripping our kinsmen,

Encircling in snare,

Blinding from needed warfare.

Complacent accomplices,

Leaving behind broken promises.

True Identity lost 

Feeding the addiction at all cost

Creating turmoil and strife.

Jesus who in death conquered life

Died for the bound as well as the broken

Captives to be made free simply by his name spoken

OH Jesus emancipate those who have been ensnared

Open their eyes to their sister’s, help them to care.

Break these strongholds we ask in your Name 

This also the reason you came

Not just for victim 

But for perpetrator too

Death and resurrection

Ample in power for restitution.

Thought life

Thought life

Brain working overtime,

Emotions ramping up,

Pulling through the grime.

Filled with self

But left with empty cup.

Thought life detrimental to one’s health.

The offer to partake of water deep

But the enemy comes with stealth,

His goal from God our soul to keep.

Thanksgiving key to opening the gate

Praising God to enter courts

Not our understanding but he who makes paths straight.

Thought life needing to veer back on course.

Bathing in holy presence, washing away sin

Simple repentance, no coercion or force

Gentle Conviction from spirit with in.

Renewing mind with eternal truth

Thought life aligned with Gods heart

Each day deciding to choose

Allowing God to create a work of art

Able to reach to others and soothe

Thought life no longer in control or on the loose

set awhile

Let’s set awhile together

Set on swings and feel the breeze

Back and forth in freeing rhythm

Just breathe and let our hearts beat in sync

Watch as my word is spoken

How the clouds form in mystical design

Come and set awhile and rest in me

My comfort here in arms wide

The work will still be there

 Come, set and rejuvenate

The busyness, the kingdom work, all in its time

Time now to set awhile

A father’s touch on the cheek

Words of rest and peace

When time to move be confident I will speak

Linger a little while longer yet

 Gather another tender hug

Set awhile lest you forget

Sole purpose of the cross

So we may in heaven above

Set forever in peace and love
