True happiness lies where the branch meets the vine

Monday’s Message

Sickness
Worry
Doubt
Will we ever understand what life is all about?
The pain
The grief
The agony
Of not understanding our place
Where we are meant to be
Living as though we are free
But reality strikes
And we soon realize
Our shackles have chained us
Deep
 
Were we once meek?
As the days go by
Our eyes begin to open wide
Learning what it means to be truly alive
In a world consumed by false media and lies
Who do you turn to?
What do you yearn for?
Happiness.
No surprise.
But true happiness lies
Where the branch meets the vine
A connection rooted deep
Planted in rich soil
Where our souls meet
 
Intertwined
between mortality
and a long life of spirituality
Where the moon kisses the sun
Mingling as one
As darkness succumbs
The planet goes numb
To the time on the clock
That does not seize to stop
For nothing
No one
Except our Creator
The magnificent Son
Who came and died
To save our fragile lives
And what have we become?
 
 
A lost people
A languished nation
Seeking grandeur
That only comes from Satan
And we wonder why we feel pain
As we seek someone to blame
But look in the mirror
Can you speak your true name?
Or do you hid behind a mask
A false identity
Hoping for freedom at last
Yet your weary soul
Does not know where to go
Attempting to grow through the stone
Oh dear heart, look around
This is not home
 
Your Savior is calling you
To a world unbeknownst
Believe
and be free
Knowing that one day you will meet
Where the root meets the vine
And the branch becomes alive
Living in a place where true happiness
You will find
 
“Behold, days are coming,” declares the LORD,
“when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man
 and with the seed of beast.
As I have watched over them to pluck up,
to break down, to overthrow, to destroy and to bring disaster,
so I will watch over them to build and to plant,” declares the LORD.”

Jeremiah 31:27-28 NASB
