A thought starts here
You share it there
"They" share it there
and it comes back here.
Here is a thought
Lost amist the lively noise
Where I once sought
Now seems like a land without poise
What was it that I think that I once thought
Was it true or am I simply caught
The lines of the mind are pulled taut
And my thought are disintegrating; the ones I once fought to have thought
Now are my thoughts valid?
I do not now know..
For the voices are ever stirring
And my thoughts are all but blurring
-Courtney
This isn't a poem but more of a question of wondering. It's no where near a great work- I took a few minutes to write it. It derives from the confusion that comes when you listen to so many voices you can't hear God's voice or your own thoughts. This is the place I am in right now. :)
Just a Vessel, an empty Vessel filled with the Holy Spirit. Blessed, free, child of the King.
I really like your poem! I know how confusing and conflicting life can be... Especially when everyone has their own ideas about how you should do things. It makes it hard to sort out what you want/need, and what is the right/wrong thing to do. Looking to God's Word always helps me feel sure. While reading your poem I was reminded of what Paul's advice is to us saints in Philippians 4:
ReplyDelete1. Stand fast in the Lord (vs 1)
2. Rejoice in the Lord (vs 4)
3. Be moderate (vs 5) (definition: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/moderation)
4. Be careful for nothing (don't be worried) because through prayer with thanksgiving making your requests known unto God you can have peace and He will give you understanding (through His word) that will keep your heart and mind.
5. Think on these things (see verse 8)
6. Follow Paul's example that he's given through his epistles (verse 9)
7. Be content because God is your strength and will supply all of your needs (verse 11-13 & 19)
I hope you find the answers to your questions!
