Insecurity

a mindful of emptiness

once busy with dreams
things seemed possible
just out of reach

the hoping-fors
and someday maybes
washed away in an instant
by the never enoughs
and less than shes

haunting

a single doubt, one lonely fear
robbing the heart of its glow
stealing the mind's fire

leaves an emptiness behind

a longing unfulfilled
dreams forgotten
inspiration now shattered
quickly swallowed by isolation

one thought, one question, one apprehension
insecurity

distracting purpose
confusing worth
weakens passion and breaks hearts
blurs the truth

We are so much more than we alone can see.

A Call to Anguish

It's time for us to wake-up.




"You're here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness?

You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world.
God is not a secret to be kept.

If I make you light bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Shine!

Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in Heaven."

Matthew 5:13-16, MSG
