Hmmm...

I was sent wandering lost and confused down the dark chasms of my mind and despair swept over me. But in the depths I found once more my life and light Jesus Christ. He called me and renewed me again in him. Teaching me those truths which I had forgotten. He took me up in his arms and set me upon my feet again. I find that my knowledge has now increased and joy has found a new depth of meaning. I soar for the moment through the scapes of eternity. Peace has found its place once more in my soul. Again will I forget and again in the pit I will turn to You. You will never forsake me and never leave in this I can find my security no matter what the future holds. Your hesed for me is beyond comprehension. Once more before Your throne I knell and offer my life as a living sacrifice for Your service. My Lord and Saviour, Master, Friend. For Thine is the kingdom the power and the glory, forever and ever, Amen.

did you write both those, Jared? I like them...
they flow really well.

I want to comment to tell you how much i like them so, but my words are so jarring and garish in comparison.

Yeah those are the reflections of my inner poet that I generally succeed in hiding from the world. But sometimes he escapes and lets loose.

BTW FYI hesed is the hebrew word for God's lovingkindness, covenant love for the Jews.

I have reasons for not letting him loose (other than for the fact that he appears to have emotions). He raises questions and makes statements that I find in conflict with my theology at times. He seems at times to stand in the darkness to contemplate the light...

And now I must be slightly insane since I am talking about myself in the third person.
