Joseph James Breunig 3rd Poems

Does anyone need slurs,
from slandering neighbors?
Should it bother anyone,
that people seek after God?
...

Is it possible, to be walking worthily,
before our God, in a world that's dying?
While we have some defined understanding
of the constraints that are placed on us,
...

The shape of Love is not a heart,
but that… of a solitary cross;
the burden of Christ's sacrifice
was a desire to redeem the lost.
...

O Lord, perfect Your sacred Love in me;
show me how to have the proper boldness
for conducting myself humbly each day;
only a covering of Your righteousness
...

God's compassion is directed outwardly,
while self-pity is an ugly form of idolatry.
Abject misery will be guaranteed, when…
you're centered on the selfish ego of "me"!
...

Not paralyzed with constraints of obligation,
I’m able to converse with my Lord on any topic.
Towards me, His ongoing Love is without reserve;
new mercies flow- with a Grace that is melodic.
...

With assistance of the Holy Spirit,
compelling achievements will be seen;
supernatural strength is available to…
overcome the nonsense of human routine.
...

Within this broad lifestyle of Christianity,
I’m unshackled from ideas of fear and hate;
though I may deal with bouts of self-worth,
my God-given path is righteous and straight.
...

With all of your mind, can you imagine…
living a sacred and a victorious Life,
whereby you become more like The Christ?
...

What is it, that really stops you,
from inviting Christ into your heart?
Are you afraid of the responsibilities
or opportunities that can be imparted?
...
