A burden twice shared is ½ the load!

Monday Message

Who do you partner with to go thru life?
Thanks for joining us for Monday’s Message from Abigail Rice and Trench Classes United. What a beautiful verbal picture she writes about doing life with His Spirit.
When you peel back the layers
Of who you are versus who want to be
What do you see?
 
Ultimately, this flesh
Leaves traces of disgust
Drowning into spirals of debilitating lust
 
Always searching
Always looking
For something beyond this earthly movie
 
Until you drown it all out
and you can no longer breathe
As the deep waters surround
 
Because deep down
You know
You know there is more than this worldly folklore
 
There is a Spirit much greater
Knocking at your door
With the promise of a Saviour
 
A sweet surrender
A moment’s bliss
This surely cannot be the feeling of happiness?
 
No, my love
That feeling is pure joy
Like the laughter from a baby boy
 
Like the tapping of a shoe
As the praises rise up
And the waters turn blue
 
The calm amidst the chaos
Making beauty come to life
Seeing colors beyond our human eyes
 
And as the sun begins to rise
Take a deep breath
And let this day begin
 
Praying Spirit fill me
Yield me to your ways
As your fruits I do embrace
 
Putting on all love
And erasing all grudge
Seeking the joy in each and every view
 
As the mirror passes by
I see peace in those eyes
Wearing patience as my disguise
 
With true kindness that exudes
As goodness interludes
A sweet melody of faith filled moves
 
That could only be made
By His Spirit of grace
Coming from a place of meek self-restraint
 
And so we begin the day
The Spirit and I
Walking side by side
 
Feeling ever light
As we walk amidst the night
Finding the beauty in the simplicity of time
 
"But the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit [the work which His presence within accomplishes] is love, joy (gladness), peace, patience (an even temper, forbearance), kindness, goodness (benevolence), faithfulness, Gentleness (meekness, humility), self-control (self-restraint, continence). Against such things there is no law [that can bring a charge]." - Galatians 5:22-23
