Look Up!

Daily I learn. Decided to share today's lesson with you. 

I realized It won't suffice anymore to blame others for our shortcomings, disappointments, and frustrations. As I grow older it's imperative to rely less on my human pillars and incline more to the maker of my life. Humans are humans, yes even that best friend, sweet lover or devoted parent with honest intentions. No one can rise to the aspirational role of steadfast faithfulness... No it's not their fault... No human can achieve this because inherently we are all flawed. That's alright though - the potter knows just how to make the broken clay a vessel of honor and a testimony of grace...

Summary: Stop looking to man it's not fair on them... I couldn't bear such a burden. Look up... Jesus is able to save to the uttermost all those who draw near to God by him, since he ever lives to make intercession for us. Look up!

Mercies Forsaken...

Strong will inspires the pride that balks at the remedy provided
Hidden beneath confidence lies restlessness from vapid ventures
Repeatedly he says  to himself "Help is for the spineless"

Ego arouses the anger that screams down the voice of succour
Mirage of splendour camouflages the gritty reality of poverty within
Assuredly he bellows "This is my life"

Legitimately secured in trappings of humanism
Shades of narcissism consumes his bleeding heart 
Complacent with life he sighs "It can never get better than this"
