(This is my first shot at slam poetry. Class, I'm not sure what to do with the structure... any ideas?)
It’s
an all-consuming fire, flames licking at your heart, as truth comes out
and lies try to hide. Three words that can change your whole view on
life, “He loves you.” Did you know that? He loves you and He’s holding
out His hand, one lifeline in a world of darkness, ever engulfing and
reaching out... for you. Take the love of God in your life; let Him pull
you out of the mud and trudge of every little thing that beats you down
on a daily basis. Let Him love you, I know it’s hard, as you look in
the mirror and see yourself as unworthy of the love of the people around
you, not to mention the love of the King above all Kings, Alpha and
Omega, Creator and Ruler of the world, the Ever Present God, Light of
Lights reaching out for you. You; He wants you. He chose you; He
created you in your mother’s womb. You, broken because of a messed up
world, but beautiful because of the love of Jesus Christ, your Savior.
This is no unrequited love like that boy on your campus. He loves you
more than you could ever know. He holds you in His hand, every move you
make simply a reaction to His Holy Spirit within you, moving the very
breath in your lungs and the blood through your veins. If any love is
unrequited it is His love for you, overwhelming and true, even as you
disobey and push Him away, hoping He won’t see your heart as it truly
is. But He does see, he sees it all, and He loves you anyway, regardless
of the dirt on your heart and the smudges on your soul. He loves you,
ever part of you, which He molded as your creator. Think about that, He
made you; exactly as you are, every quirk and trait that you possess is
of God. You are a child of God, created out of love and loved by Him.
So welcome that love, the love of your Father; let it change your life,
by opening your eyes to the truth and taking the pain of a broken and
messed up world away.
