rants of a beggar

Col 3:3  For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

Memories of the past, haunt me.. the man that once lived, lives no more.. For he died, that day on Calvary..

yet hauntings of my flesh, still linger in my mind.. tormenting, and distracting my new life in Christ..

It scares me to think.. that my old self still haunts me.. like a ghost in the shadow.. waiting, wanting, looking to find a way to be revived.. its weird to think of it that way.. yet, thats the way it is..

For in Christ I am alive, and the Adam that once was, died that day on the cross. For it was He that took my place.. That I may take His, and find NEW LIFE.. To live in reconciliation with the Father, in the name and body of His Son…

Lord, give me the strength to rebuke the ghost of my past..

Pro 29:18  Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained, But happy is he who keeps the law.

Lord.. give me vision..

Make clear the path I must take.. give focus to my heart.. and awareness of your voice.. tenderize my heart with compassion, and love your heart… quicken my spirit to respond to your will.. stir within a fire that cannot be tamed.. renew in my the light of your word.. the truth of your hand.. the stillness of your heart…

give me the sense to follow your will.. sharpen me.. straighten my path.. enlighten the eyes of my heart..

I am unrestrained, and desolate without you..

Within every man lies.. a desire that only God can devise..

something that man has taken.. and learned to compromise..

In Him alone.. can we realize..

the format to which we were called to arise..

Life fully experienced, and seen through His eyes..
