Acrostic Poem for Thought

 

 Family Perspective

Familiar in relation to each other

All about living in this perspective 

Making the best life with one another

In this being the ultimate objective

Loving each other as sister and brother

Your relation given from God as selective

 

Precious the moments to this rather

Even when disagreements hinder this directive

Remembering as children best times together

Special as given to make life smoother

Past the struggles as adults, this subjective

Elevating each other in life further

Celebrating life given in pain by mother

Totally forgiving when put in this respective 

In making life easier one to another

Valuable to God, family meant to be effective

Even today as adults, we are sister and brother

Thoughts: Seems today, the importance of family has diminished. As we mature as sisters and brothers we sometimes have major disagreements in the life styles our siblings choose or are thrown into; which can sometimes lead to judgement from one another. And, sometimes, this judgement can be very painful and hard to get past as it coming from a family member. But as we mature and grow older, we begin to realize how silly and damaging it can be to hold a grudge against each other. Although hard sometimes in forgiving one another, giving forgiveness in forgetting the past becomes necessary in order to reestablish the bond of being brothers and sisters that God established when He chose to give us to one another as family. Sometimes, we need to see past the ugly in remembering the things of good as children in rebuilding that loving family perspective. 

Love & Pain = Sacrificial Love

 

Sacrificial Love

 

To find the difference, I tried in vain 

Only to learn in this there be none

To know the difference of love and pain

One without the other, one can go insane

Its the balance of both where each is spun

Finding the difference, I tried in vain

For deep in the heart resides their domain

Connecting the two from where it begun

Knowing no difference of love and pain

For Christ died in pain for us out of love

As God gave His only Son as a sacrifice

Both love and pain resided thereof

From His heart out of pain love gave advice

Christ showed His inner pain worth the cost

Denial to self love, He paid the price

Where to both neither love nor pain was lost

In finding the difference, I tried in vain

But Christ showed me there be none; on the cross 

Knowing no difference of love and pain

Thoughts: Although, very recently I cried out to the Lord over not having nor having given true love of and to a human man; I've come to realize I have and have given true love. You see, I raised my children as a single mother in a very protective environment, being very cautious who I brought around my children to the point of them being my whole life. I even stayed devoted to a man for nearly two decades that I did not have true love for just to keep a roof over their heads. He lived in his place and I in mine; and when we did interact it was mostly at his place. And, of course this did not happen right away before a few life situations. But, then my children were grown. That's when I had realized I never developed friendship nor true love of a man due my loving devotion to my children. I was in protection mode and thought I had self-sacrificed love for myself. Now, I look back and realize what I thought I gave up for myself was out of love for my children, even they now see that. So, if love is nothing without pain and sacrifice, I paid the price in giving and obtaining true love. That is true love; self sacrifice in putting the well-being and happiness of others over your own. So, yes I have and have given true love. I no longer crave true love, as I know I have displayed it and that I have it with our Lord Jesus Christ who showed us the ultimate sacrificial love when He died on the cross in pain out of love for human kind. Thank you Lord for the sacrificial life I had and for embracing me in Your Love, now; and happily so. To me, I see no difference in love and pain; one cannot and does not exist without the other. 

"Self love is popular, sacrificial love is Biblical" 

A Poem for Thought!

   WHY?

Money: makes some act like their more important

Where some that have it want to act like

Their place to manipulate the less fortunate

I have to ask WHY?

Position: given to some their head does swell

Where they believing one's in lower positions them unlike 

Giving to their higher position reason to compel

I have to ask WHY?

Male: making some believe their better

Where some males act their place at woman to strike

As if woman second in rank and their place to wreck her 

I have to ask WHY?

Fun: to some to do at anyone's cost

No matter to whom it's affecting dislike

Where morals to this some have lost

I have to ask WHY?

Equal: in this world we're all created

Rich/poor, high ranking/or not, male/female,  fun/morals; alike

However, to the world's end one's action is fated

To this I need not ask WHY?

Thoughts: There is so much injustice in the world that some just go along with the ways of others (the world) and or just do not care. The difference it would make if people would just realize we are all created equal; no matter one's financial situation, one's work  position or status, one being male or female, and in remembering one's affecting morals in fun activities. The Lord is coming back and our time here is short lived compared to eternity. And, when He does, one's fate beyond this world is sealed according to one's actions while here on earth because when He does come, it will be quickly. "And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to everyone according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last" (Revelation 22:12-13. NKJV). There will not be a second chance to treat others as Jesus/God meant for us to treat each other. To this I need not ask WHY? 

Acrostic Poem for Thought

  

 Real Love

Remembering how good it felt

Elevating my soul thereof 

Allowing my heart to melt

Love given from You above

 

Loyalty to this was greatly felt

Obligating me to speak of

Volumes to what is heartfelt

Everlasting be Your Love

Thoughts: We humans, sometimes, look so hard for real love without our own hearts being filled with real love; never works. I know, I'm guilty of this myself. Over the course of the past few years I had thought the only thing to make me complete was the real love of a man. I had to learn, to receive real love, one has to have real love in one's own heart. And, this real love comes from Jesus Christ; He is real love. Also have learned, it is His real love that make's one complete. Without His real and everlasting Love one cannot give honest and real love. Real love starts with God!!
