The Parting of the "Veils"

Hello readers,

                I wanted to share my testimony with all of you today. The following story is completely true. ry wThank you.

                 

Signed,

Kayla

                A new life. That was what I received that night. A friend of mine invited me to her grandmother’s church to listen to special guest speakers. At the end of the service, everyone in the room was asked if they were truly saved. I had such a mental struggle, that I could not handle it anymore. Everyday, I wanted to drop dead because I was tortured by the way others saw me in a past forgotten by everyone by myself. Enough was enough. I renewed my faith that evening, and my friend was saved as well.            

                On the way home, I saw something spectacular. I saw a group of stars organized into the shape of a cross. It may have been the Southern Cross, but I am not certain if it was. The luminescent image was between to perfectly parted clouds, the “veils” that separated me from Him. The cloudy skies of suicide, and overall sin, prevented me from seeing Jesus. No longer was I separated from the One who loves me.

                I had hope that night. I am glad that I attended that service. This shows that God will not give up on me. After all, he did not leave me when I was hurt. He wanted me to be with Him forever, and the only way I could do that was through Jesus. Granted, the darkness of self-harm still lurks around me. It lurks around many people. However, I now know that I am not alone, and that Jesus’s Light shines forever.

A Woman Is a Flower

A woman is a flower. 

She is beautiful.

She smells sweet.

She needs God to grow.

Before she blossoms,

Before she sprouts,

She must be cared for as a seed:

A dull-colored, tough-shelled seed waiting to burst. 

She stands tall,

Even during a storm.

Her stem is resistant to the wind

And she benefits from the rain.

She is precious.

She will not expose her petals 

At anyone’s command,

But only when she is ready.

All women are flowers.

They come in many colors and sizes.

They make others smile.

They are wonderful creations of the Lord.

Jesus Who Can Save

Delinquent

Drunk

We can’t behave.

Mind of the knave.

Dirty

Reject

Innocence up gave.

We are depraved.

Broken

Restless

Love we crave.

The devil’s slave.

Sinful,

Fearful,

And in danger of Hell’s grave,

But it is Jesus who can save.

Poetry

This poem was inspired by “I dwell in Possibility” by Emily Dickinson. Thank you!

Poetry…what is poetry?

Is it a group of lines and stanzas

That are aligned across paper

In a melodious fashion?

Does its message outshine its format;

Therefore is “free” from its “verse”?

From ballads to haikus, all forms of poetry have one main goal:

To send a message.

These messages are transformed

From prose, then broken into lines and stanzas.

Odes, sonnets, and other “cultures”

Make up the world of poetry.

                                                                                       

What makes a poem beautiful?

What makes a poem meaningful?

Poetry can evoke feelings and change thinking.

No single definition can define such writing.
