Silent whispers here,
Am I in another world?
Where were they before.

All that I can hear:
Is all that was just drowned out,
How can I go back?

I know what to do:
Can I go to where I was,
With the world drowned out?

A thought or two late,
So I reap back what I sowed:
They haven't forgot.

Silent whispers near,
Grace spread through the midst of it:
It's my Savior's voice.

Auras in both realms,
A peace found only in one:
It's not hard to chose.

I'm not fit for king,
Righteous ruling not in heart:
Time to be dethroned.

I have seceded,
Joyful transition chorus:
Blood of royalty.

He's equal to none,
The scepter is in His hands:
Mercy in triumph.

Wonderful silence,
The kingdoms hushed both in awe:
A just king at last.

I call Him Father,
For He has called all to kin:
The choice is given.

I can tell there is some poignant hidden meaning here. I'm not entirely sure what it is, but it certainly got me thinking. Is there some historical character or context here or are you making some personal reference? I can see it's good but I feel I'd appreciate it all the more of knowing something of its origin.

Well when I started it , It was relating to a situation or rather issue in my walk with God.

Mainly that when I'm in a place of compromise I can not hear God's voice so clearly. But when I'm alone with God, the compromises that were mainly my
different struggles with sin, were the defining voice...before I settled down to listen to what God had to say.

Then realizing the errors of my ways, God's Spirit bearing with my consciene I knew that what I had been doing was sin, though it was convient to block out His voice before, for whatever reasons. Then a regret because I know I can't go back
and change what I had done, though I know now...or rather was clearer now that I was listening to God.

Then knowing that when I go back to where I was, those people or the world
wouldn't forget who I had just been, even though I would "try to make it up" by conducting myself in a new manner.

And so then I also realize with the voice of conviction, was the voice of God's grace as well, that He doesn't condem me, but rather forgives me (1 John 1:9)
when I confess my wrongs, and actually remembers them no more.

From that I have realized the difference between the two "realms" , the reality of my relationship with God and with the world. The world has an aura of rememberance of condeming me for wrongs, or evening accepting me for them.
But with God's He gives me peace, He offers me grace and is not fickle in His love for me. I think the greek word used in the bible is "agape" which means unconditional love.



And so because of God's grace, and also His holiness, I know I am incapable of leading, or ruling over my life in a Holy and pure way. There needs to be a change of thrones, rather the throne of my life, and who is seated there.


My heart's desire is to know God more and to serve Him, so thats what this relates to. I "seceded" my right to be ruler, God did not force it from me, but rather I willing give Him control, because I love Him and also because He is more fit for the job smile.gif! From that I experience true joy and true peace , there is a joyful chorus on my behalf, because I am really living my purpose in life, being the servant rather than the ruler, the bloodline is that of Jesus.


The rest of it really what I personally believe to be true of Jesus, and also of what the bible says about God. That though He has the right to condem, He has the athority(scepter) , He doesn't condem me, but rather appoints mercy on my behalf(John 3:17, James 2:13b)


Again with the King fit for the job, all areas of my life come under His supervision, and His peace, because He is allknowing and wise and also compassionate. I have peace in both worlds, both in my walk with God and with the world, even the man that I am with its lust(s).

The last part Has to do with not only being a master but also my friend and Father (John 1:12) He hasn't called me just a servant but a friend and a son because He makes His will known to me. The amazing part is that He has given that choice to everyone, He has not forced His reigh on us, and He is not a tyranical leader.
All in all , its a daily battle as well to allow Him throne of my life, because I am not perfect and I still sin every day, but He is also always there as King appointing mercy and grace should I humble myself and ask for it.

Well I hope I didn't utterly confuse anyone ...I know my thoughts can be somewhat scattered but I hope you enjoyed it smile.gif thank you for reading~

ok. now I get it. Are you Catholic by any chance?

If you can get to a ripe old age before having to meet your maker, you'll find many of your sinful temptations will fade away, as the libido goes into decline. As long as you confess before you pass away, you should be ok. That's the beauty of the Catholic faith.

Hey thanks for reading, I didn't realize I had wrote so much hehe. Actually I don't hold to really a denomination, but if my beliefs had to be catergorized they would probably fit most into Evangelical Christian. Yes, I am so glad I'm able to confess my sins before God and find grace, through my savior/mediator Jesus Christ smile.gif!

Have a great day, Godbless ~
