Joseph J. Breunig 3rd's Blog – March 2015 Archive (8)

With all of your mind, can you imagine…

living a sacred and a victorious Life,

whereby you become more like The Christ?

With all of your heart, can you believe…

that you’re covered by His righteousness

and an embodiment of God’s poetic finesse?

With all of your might, can you achieve…

the desires that He has purposed for you?

Can you envision His promises coming true

when daring to imagine, believe and trust Him?

Only your lack of…

Within this broad lifestyle of Christianity,

I’m unshackled from ideas of fear and hate;

though I may deal with bouts of self-worth,

my God-given path is righteous and straight.

I’m not bound by dictates of any work clock,

since the freedom to love God is in my heart.

Daily reminders of my Lord are surrounding me,

within The Word constraints of my poetic art.

I wish to live my life with keen transparency,

unburdened by the deadly sin of…

With assistance of the Holy Spirit,

compelling achievements will be seen;

supernatural strength is available to…

overcome the nonsense of human routine.

As His responsible Christians today,

we must mature and have understanding

of the authority and power given us

by Christ, to address Life’s demanding.

When we have not, it’s the direct result

of not asking for… what we really need.

Working from our natural strength fails,

and…

Not paralyzed with constraints of obligation,

I’m able to converse with my Lord on any topic.

Towards me, His ongoing Love is without reserve;

new mercies flow- with a Grace that is melodic.

Inside each of us, is a God-shaped hole,

which can be satisfied by Him exclusively;

nothing in Life is off-limits with Jehovah,

for He alone examines our hearts and sees

what is invisible to others- inner desires

to drawer closer in relationship with…

God’s compassion is directed outwardly,

while self-pity is an ugly form of idolatry.

Abject misery will be guaranteed, when…

you’re centered on the selfish ego of “me”!

If you’re focused on your own misfortunes,

then you’re going to miss out on blessings;

concepts of personal happiness are fleeting;

therefore, realize what makes hearts sing

with an everlasting, unadulterated joy!

Ministering to others creates opportunities

for spiritual…

O Lord, perfect Your sacred Love in me;

show me how to have the proper boldness

for conducting myself humbly each day;

only a covering of Your righteousness

will allow me to enjoy Your new mercies.

Teach me to appreciate Your divine Grace;

please insure that I’m not after Your hands

of blessing, but that I’m seeking Your face.

I’m diligently feasting on Your Holy Word;

sate my spiritual hunger and thirst for You!

You are the Bread…

What are we really looking to receive?

Is it: Money, Fame, Success, or Promotion?

Secret lusts of the heart create problems;

are we willing to risk, His Salvation?

Living to get things will never satisfy;

without proper priorities and pursuits,

righteousness, peace and joy isn’t obtained.

Knowing your identity in Him, His fruit,

mercy and grace becomes obviously evident.

Seeking His face will insure that His hand

remains open towards…

The written Word of God is complete,

with multiple layers of understanding;

however, only a hungry heart can plumb

the Biblical depths with His assistance.

There must be an inner desire, replete

with knowledge that’s divinely expanding

my vision of purpose; don’t let me be dumb.

Breakdown my barriers of human resistance.

Stay within my heart; kick down its door,

teach me Thy lessons, so I’m not perplexed;

enable my existence to…
