whose rider is called Faithful and True.

Rider affixed on alabaster steed

Swift and fierce

Scooping up in strong arms

Mounted with the King of kings

No rearward glances allowed

Onward through the battle

Going forth towards homecoming

Strong arms surround me

Keeping me in place

Breathing deeply

Learning to keep pace

Riding briskly

Fiery arrows deflected by pure righteousness

stopping for the wounded

Doling out shield,living water, and sword

No fear for the present

Simply press on with the one who is faithful and true

Revelation 19:11 “there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war.

Revelation 19:11-16 11 Then I saw heaven opened, and suddenly a white horse appeared. The name of the one riding it was Faithful and True,[f] and with pure righteousness he judges and rides to battle. 12 He wore many regal crowns,[g] and his eyes were flashing like flames of fire. He had a secretname inscribed on him that’s known only to himself.[h] 13 He wore a robe dipped in blood, and his title is called the Word of God. 14 Following him on white horses were the armies of heaven, wearing white fine linen, pure and bright. 15 A sharp sword came from his mouth with which to conquer[i] the nations, and he will shepherd them with an iron scepter.[j]He will trample out the wine in the winepress of the wrath[k] of God. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he had inscribed a name: King of kings and Lord of lords.

Bull in a china shop

Bull in a china shop

Careening in uninvited

Fragile items on display

Oh to touch and share in these dainty’s

One step further, too late

Soon the crashing sounds

Banging, stumbling, crunching

Broken pieces spewed about

Thrashing to escape

Damage done

No more bulls in the china shop

 Like Oxen to be  yoked 

restraints welcomed

led and guided on straight paths

stepping in tandem with eternal purpose

James 3:17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.
Proverbs 15:1 a soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

1 Peter 3:15 But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,

Colossians 3:12-15 Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.
