A Life Of Love

A Life Of Love

By: Elaina Grace Morgan

Society sees surrender as shame,

So they live for themselves, they live for the fame.

"Satisfying self is the name of the game,"

They say.

Pray..

Me, myself, and I..

Lie..

If it benefits you.

Cry..

To falsify the proof.

Daunt and taunt and flaunt,

Belittle people to get what you want.

Freedom is doing what you want.

But true freedom is found in forgiveness,

In a love for the Father's business.

A business, 

Love..

Like Christ

Requires sacrifice.

It was His righteous life,

The price,

For a sinful life..

 Like yours.

It was an unfair trade made that day.

It was the day..

 He came

To prepare a way.

The greatest way..

That love was shown.

Because a seed was sown

A seed had grown.

Touch one life..

And it might..

Touch several others.

Choose a life of love..

 That covers..

A multitude of sins because a life of love..

Always wins.

Wonderful Counselor

Wonderful Counselor

By: Elaina Grace Morgan

Touches my eyes so I can see.
Takes my hands and shows me what I need.
Touches my heart so I can be freed from my past impurities
And any presence in my life that may be dirty.
He gives me strength to continue to endure
When those evil spirits continue to try to lure.
Those temptations, ha salutations.
He says I'm worth something more.
He tells me I've got something worth living for.
So let me show you to the door.
I don't need you anymore.

Wonderful Counselor,
He directs my steps.
He gives me peace when I start to worry what's next.
When I am weary He gives me rest.
Shows me how to live.
You can read it in the text.
He encourages me to do my best.
"Don't you worry.  I'll take care of the rest."
A little love is all that I need,  but He
Created - Excuse me.
He IS love, the one and only perfect love, the one and only Savior, God.

Hypocrisy

Hypocrisy

By: Elaina Grace Morgan

If you be preachin'

And you be teachin'

And you ain't livin'

You best be leavin'

'Cause they don't need hypocrisy.

This is not a democracy

'Cause right and wrong are declared by the word of my God.

His discipline is more severe than the rod.

Yeah.

He knows your heart,

But continuing in your sin is gonna tear you apart.

Repent

And He'll give you a new start,

But if you keep on seducin'

You'll keep on producin'

Rotten fruit.

Shoot.

Send you further than Beirut.

Truth.

Turn from your trash.

'Cause the day you die your idols ain't gonna last.

Fact.

Your life is screamin' Gucci, Louis, Fendi, Prada..

Whateva.

But your mouth is singin' I got nada.

And then what your speakin' is the truth,

But your life ain't livin' proof.

You know Satan's plan is to deceive ya and lead ya to the gates of hell.

So watch out for these hypocrites for real..

'Cause there's no cutting deals 

When it's all said and done.

And whatcha gonna say?

I was just livin' for fun.

Love Like Christ

#LoveLikeChrist

By: Elaina Grace Morgan

Not hypothetical

Love...overcomes...

The hardest of obstacles.

Love's...outcome

Promises great harvests...

Even in the hardest.

A love unconditional

Going deeper every day,

Not superficial only on weekdays.

But on weak days it fights to be stronger than before

Instead of giving in deciding you don't want it anymore.

A love that casts out fear was a love that endeared.

Love is patient.

Love is kind.

Love is loyal not looking to find...

Temptations, abominations.

Love is more than a monotone recitation

Or some silly citation.

It's deeper than relation.

Love protects.

It doesn't expect...

Others to be perfect.

But love corrects out of another's benefit.

Love always hopes.

Love always trusts.

Love perseveres...

Love adheres

In sickness and in health,

In poverty and in wealth.

Love never fails.

No matter what it entails

Love will prevail.

Back in January of 2011

    As frustration gripped me at the heart I began to fall. I began to fall faster. I began to fall deeper...

 

 

 

Back in January of 2011...



"You're making me so tense.

Troubling worry.

Sickening suspense.

Lurking in the shadows

Armed with defense.

Waiting to grab me

Fear dispensed.

Outside drury.

Raindrops condensed

Running down my cheek.

 

Tears like a river

Flowing endlessly.

Hurts like a sliver

Digging deep into me.

My heart quivers

Like I'm shaking from the cold.

Frequent shivers

Trying to warm my soul."

 

 

 

    ...And yet God got me through it all. Through the pain He still knew every tear that I cried.
