Drive the Clouds

Hush now
It's not your turn now
Wait for the moonlight
It's your only spotlight
You are in no place
to stand like Barnabas
when you talk like Judas
with empty words and promises

Let's get to it.

I am truly encouraged by the steps you take, the Words you put up, and the hope that you have. As you lift up the name of Jesus in your life, I am heavily affected to lift His name up in my life. I find it so strange how that works. You may not realize it at those particular moments, but when the dust settles and the sun shines through, Jesus is the centerpiece to whom we are connected as one. One.

If we are one in Jesus Christ, then we are one in Jesus Christ. It sounds like a pretty simple thing that should embrace and not push away. But when a brother says "john, you get it, but I don't," I just want to punch him... like kool-aid. Speaking of which, perhaps the red fluid will be a reminder of who we are IN CHRIST and not IN THE WORLD. Foolish mortal. MORTAAAAL KOMBAAAAT! Your death will be spiky needles! and coughing up red blood cells!

All this people pointing (and punching) is to hide the fact that my heart has gotten colder to those who choose to live in a dark cloud of dejection, comparing themselves to lighter, brighter clouds who, in their eyes, seem to have it all or better together. That is, I've gotten colder to myself. As I see it reflected in those around me, I begin to feel hopeless thinking "Eh, whatever, let God deal with them and do His thing. I don't want to have anything to do with it... Payce!" It's the easy thing to do as PKai put it. Then the Word comes alive and pierces my heart... but then I dodge it - woosh - 2 Fast, 2 Righteous. hahaha. But, in the end it gets me! agh! touché!

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
1 John 3:16

The dark clouds who've been through the storm and the rain, down trodden with sins and sorrows - the ones who feel jealous of better lives and feel like they lack something need to remember that they will be the ones who can pour out the most. I see it as a greater potential to love even more - in God's love - as healing and medning of brokenness and forgiveness takes place. Once His children realize that we are all under one sun, or... One Son (ooohhh), then the shades of cloudiness begin to fade away and only His glory is left to shine through, pour down, and love all around. Glory in the highest.

I'm imagining this cloud who is smiling, moving softly across the sky to another cloud that is sad and crying, and then it gives it a big cloudy hug. *poof* and now both of them are smiling.

I'm not gay. I just like clouds okay?... and rainbow colored unicorn fairies...

Love perfectly. Love all the way. We love because He first loved us!

I need a BIG HEART. BA-DUM BA-DUM! <<<333!
