A Love 'Revelation' Written Over 25 Years Ago.....

   A Few Days Ago, My Wife Discovered A Poem I Had Written To Her, Hidden In One Of The Many Bibles We Keep Around Our Home. Written Probably Over 25 Years Ago Now.
  And We Read It Back To Each Other, Trying To Understand The Emotions And Feelings Of That Special Time In Our Lives. I Asked Her Permission To Use It Here On The Blog. It Goes As Follows:
         
       Roses Are Red,
       My Eyes Are Green,
       To Be Without You,
       Would Be A Bad Scene.

       I Wrote You A Poem.
       It's Not Very Long,
       But It's Straight From My Heart,
       In Lieu Of A Song.

       I Tell You "I Love You",
       Countless Times Each Day.
       But I Thought I Would Show You,
       In This Special Way.

       A Ring Of Promise,
       Of Love So True.
       A Band Of Silver,
       My Promise To You.

       A Vow I Took,
       To Love, Honor And Cherish.
       To Care For You My Darling,
       Til By Death I May Perish.

       So, Roses Are Red,
       And Violets Are Blue,
       And With Jesus Our Lord,
       My Love For You...Remains True.
     
   Everything In Our Lives, At That Time, Was A Wonder And Miracle From His Very Hand, And Our Life Rang Out With His Joy And Providence.
  Then, Suddenly, The 'Springs Of Life' Dried Up. 7-8 Years Of Dryness. No "Rain" In Our Lives. Spiritually And Physically, I Was 'Restrained' For 2 Weeks In 2011 Because I Was Angry And Fed Up With The Unrighteousness Around Me.

  It Was The Epitome Of My Life At That Point. The Father Had Blessed Me With A Mind Of Incredible Clarity, After A Long Period Of Fasting And Prayer. I Began To Reach Heights Of Wisdom I Had Desired For Years. He Gave Me Understanding Of Complex Medical, Biological, Mechanical, Geological, And Chemical Formulas Lost In The Fog Of Time Over Years.
 It Was Like The Holy Spirit Had Unlocked Knowledge In My Head That Had Been Lost Over The Years, Along With 'Snatches And Glimpses'' Of INCREDIBLY COMPLEX Information. And Then,... To Have The Enemy Slip In And Create Havoc In Your 'Mind', Body And Spirit For Years.

   No. I Don't Have My 'Stuff'' Together. I Feel Sometimes I'm Beyond Lost. I've Had A Difficult Time Accepting Anyone's Love, Including The FATHER's At Times, Even My Own Wife. I'm Battered. My Castle Has Been Stormed At Times. But Yet, I Still Carry His Messages Of Salvation, Hope, Peace, And His MOST Magnificent Blessings, Because He Loved Me First.   And Yet Why Do I Fear Constant Retribution Against My Life For A Miscommunicated Actions Or Words? Why Do I Always Feel I Must Perform For HIM, To Earn His Complete Acceptance? It Seems As If It's A Performance Issue with Me.
  My Father Was Military Bred. Discipline Was Key. "A Warrior Is A Warrior. He Defends Those That Cannot Defend Themselves." And....This Is Now The Heritage I Carry,.... Proudly. Hopefully I Fulfill The Prayers Of My Grandparents And The Parents Who Raised Me To Preach The Gospel.
   In Matthew 3:2, It Tells Us To "Repent, For The Kingdom Of God Is At Hand." Yes It Is. Now More Than Ever At Any Time In History. Just Read The Daily News. Search Your Hearts Now. Do You See That Dark, Empty Spot That Seems Without Hope? How Would You Act Or Behave In The Light Of One So Pure, So COMPLETELY Forgiving Of ALL You May Have Done? Can That Be Such A 'Pipe Dream' To Achieve? Open Your Hearts To Jesus. Give It A Try. What Do You Have To Lose? I Remember When My Life Was Completely Falling Apart. Yet Jesus Took Me In.
    His Power Remains Active 25/7. He Never Sleeps. See Psalm 121:4 "Behold, He That Keeps Israel Shall Neither Slumber Nor Sleep." I Have Questioned Myself Many Times Over 30+ Years Now , As To Whether I Was TRULY Hearing His Voice. Today...I'm  Confident In Hearing The Voice Of The One Who Holds 'Life & Death' In His Hands. "
   "Lord Jesus, Deliver Your Servants From Their Bondages, So That They May Now Proclaim  Christs Name For Their Release, Heal The Sick, Raise The Dead, And Set The Captives Free. Let Us Demonstrate The Power Your Name Holds Over Life And Death. YOUR Name, Jesus, Is The Key To Be Set Free. Let Us Speak It Out And Claim It For Our Salvation And FREEDOM In Christ From This Day Forward Until Your Redemption Comes. In Jesus Blessed Name We Pray, Amen.

   If This Touches Your <3, Please Share With Others, That The Good News Will Be Spread.
   Have A Truly Blessed And Special Day.........<3'n Jesus Always,k.
