‘Laying It Down’ and ‘Tell Me, My Lord†’

‘…I am the gate; whoever enters through Me will be saved….The thief comes only in to steal and kill and destroy…’He is demon-possessed and raving mad. Why listen to Him?” (John 10:7-21)

 Laying It Down
  
 these hands are up
 accepting this love
 come, gather round–
 this joined-together vine
 is all but enough
  
 take this chalice
 drink from the cup
 –you brave little cub
 this journey...not a strut
 it's a slow walking 
 in rub
  
 go on, take it...drink up
 but be warned little bug
 in will come...the judge
  
 then they'll be the tug
 some will come to bluff
 –making the drink
 a little tough
 there'll be a bit
of obstruct
 –some bumps and stuff
 maybe a little more
 in rough
  
 you may have to shed
some blood
 a time or two–
 you'll be covered in mud
 even some crud– 
 when you try to be a stud
 –it's just a kick
in the butt
 for being somewhat smug
  
 don't worry...it's just Yeshuah† love
 when things get too dicey–
 He'll† unplug
 give you a bit of a shrug
 but not all-together...pluck
 He'll† just help
 through the hiccups
  
 He's† patient...seeing
if you'll give up
 watching you
 with brotherly love
 pushing you
 to come out of thug
 –understand the tug
  
 go on, take it...drink up
 –it's unconditional
 and full of love
  
 but there isn't any luck
 and at times
 you'll get stuck
 in will come...floods
 jitterbugs and fluff
 you'll have to be
 strong enough
 decide differences–
 that moonstruck stuff
 and the real of love
  
 no, it won't be easy–
 so much will turn to muck
 you may see handcuffs
 even be awe-struck
 by the wrong products
 –just keep your head up
 things will ease up
 along the way
 somewhat
  
 it's your choice to drink up
 the hard love
 gets you through
 the rough stuff– 
 when Yeshuah† wants
 you healed enough

 –once you get over the fluff
 you'll see the true love
 that didn't give up
on you...in a puff
 ‒that's the truth
 of Yeshuah's† love
   

(December 29, 2019)—The ways of Yeshuah are simply amazing. He speaks to me when I’m troubled. I woke up around 2:30 a.m. after again laying down and saying, pretty much the hell with it all. I wrote about this man texting me. Horrible. I write about me being alone and how my family pretty much ousted me out for their own sins. I write about how people don’t read these writings or even consider them to be true. I’m working on faith, except for the small signs I’m sent…like the text I received day before yesterday.

So, I went to bed with all of this on my shoulders. (Don’t judge. I have to write this journey if you don’t understand it or not.) I get up this morning, not wanting to write, but I’m encouraged. I open my Bible to the following Scriptures:
