Everything is struggle (poem)

Everything is struggle

by Jim Deal

Everything is struggle

Emotionally 
Mentally 
Physically

There is decay
Sickness
Aging
Death

In our Rebellion
Trust was broken
Relationship severed
Creation shackled

Designed 

For God
For love
For life

We long

For love
For strength
For rest

We grow weary
Through a glass dimly see
One day face to face we'll be
In His presence utterly free

Hope infinite

Tears no more

Love unobstructed

Life boundless


There will be God


And we will see all of Him

Never repeated (poem)

Never repeated

by Jim Deal

Right standing settled by God.

Faith answered by us.

Unrighteousness fixed by Christ's work broad.

In this work, we must trust.

His love anchored in history's past,

Our union experienced ongoing

God as our righteous judge cast.

In Christ, love is now effusively flowing.

Law by God as judge,

Love is God as Father caring.

From His wrath, He could not budge.

In Christ, love now freely sharing.

Righteousness 

fulfilled, finished 

assigned, completed

Never by us repeated.

Longing for perfect love (poem)

Longing for Perfect love

by Jim Deal

Love on the big screen before us played. 
Longing for perfect love, in sight. 

"Happy ever after” clearly displayed.  
Hearts pulled in like moths to light. 

Perfect Love uncovers longing concealed.
Seeing, hoping for Perfect Love.

Something missing our hearts reveal.
Hungering, aching for perfect love.

Deep within, love echos profound.
Longing, hungering for perfect love.

Smiling inside when perfect love is found. 
Seeking, longing for perfect love.

Only Divine Love alone can fill
Finding, resting finally in Perfect Love
