excuse me pls...

Someone should teach me how to forget...
maybe then, I would be clearer in some ways

Or maybe i just need to act blur, or fake stupid...
but none of the above things are consistent with who i am

Some people can live with a huge degree of incongruency, inconsistency,
I somehow can't...I need to have my inner life & outer one, one & the same

How we define value is how we live it out, isn't it?
But why can some live in utter confusion & chaos...

how did Jesus bear knowing all that He knew?
What was on His mind as He waited & wept, when Lazarus died?

How can we love the Lord who did miracles & gives us good gifts,
& then turn our back on, and mock the one on the cross...

It's so easy to play with God, flirt with Him sometimes,
when He speaks, we doubt, hesitate & fear...
but when gifts drop in our laps, love unconditional is shown,
we quickly forget, fail to be thankful & then forsake the giver again...

Going to church makes you a christian,
only as much as sitting in a Carl's Jr makes you a hamburger...

We are NOT what we wear, what we proclaim, or what we seem,
We ARE what we DO, what we LIVE, what we LOVE

Our hearts are easily misled, quickly enchanted, easily distracted,
how quickly we forget, forsake and then are left forlorn...

Easy words lead to empty promises, which tear an invisible rift
Isn't it an irony? We expect God to heal, while we go on destroying

Convenience is such a contemptuous evil...
Intentional Love does the hard thing

Cheap flattery, witty flirtatious lines...will be shown up as lies
truth may hurt for awhile, but it's also healing & redemptive

We follow people, and forget Christ,
when we should follow Christ, and introduce them to Him

Selfishness is celebrated, exalted & constantly trumpeted,
where selflessness is taken for granted, trampled & casually discarded

Excuse me please...
It's time to wake up!

In the most simple declaration of divine sadness i've ever read...

God himself said..."My people have forgotten..."

='(

stunning it is...
that we can break the heart of God so easily...
and be so oblivious of it

May we know You more this day Lord
Please unlock the deaf ears,
open the blind eyes...
incline every cold heart back to You
AMEN
