Hopeful Romantic

My name is Robert, and this is not a game of who I am, but who He is who has done everything.

Yesss. 😭

I know what I can capable of. I was made exactly a certain way, not by chance, but by purpose. A carefully concocted chemical of controlled havoc. I know what I can do with these hands, and I know how to restrain my force. A bound together being of torrentous tirade. I'm not angry, I'm triggered. I'm not unfurled, I'm being unleashed. I wasn't made to stand aside and watch from a distance. I was made to engage and undergo violence. I am not some snowflake, I'm a born of God. A birthed of power, and bred for war. My appetite is the vengeance of my Father in Heaven, and my satiety is the blood of my God's enemies. Zeal.

A heart like God. A passion like David. An intolerance like Peter. A zeal like Hezekiah. An authority like Jesus. A faith like Abraham. An absolution like Stephen. A vengeance for disobedience when obedience has been filled like Elijah.

I want to be different. I want to live like I am. I'm tired of powerless drive, and aimless wandering resolve. My soul is unsettled and my spirit is stirred. I am not powerless. I am awakened.

Roar.

You teach my hands to War

And my fingers to Fight.

~ Psalm 144:1

The scandal of grace. He died in our place so that we might live. Thank you, Jesus.

He’s not shocked by who we are. He doesn’t turn away from us. He’s not ashamed to look at us and to know us even when we’re so self-centered, selfish, ugly and hateful, especially towards Him. He still looks at us with love.

This reminds me of those times I'd have my headphones in during homeroom, and I'd think about how lonely and pathetic my life was, and then during psychology I would ignore you, and how in band class we would talk and you'd suck out my moody butt and bring me to talk. This might sound like a depressing story... but I'm smiling... because the person you are brings out good thinga in people, like making lonely people socialize, and making sad people acknowledge the world. A woman who can cheer up others, is worth a lot. The woman who would make me smile at her persevering character, she's worth it. Gentle primrose Tough rose Beautiful orchid Pure azalea Your gardens full of colour Your display of iridescent charm Wonderful is your being I'd love to just stay and share The awe-inducing care That has been placed in your flowers Only God would understand The daunting task of plan The intricate and mesmerizing flair That emanates from your blue hair Or the ruby red lips that cause me to stare Or the white and pure vestments That run from the stems of your spine Masterful indeed is this prime A garden made alone by intelligent design One that everyone stops to see and surmise That gifts exist from God And gracious to witness as it is divine Yet few can ever walk closer Only one can truly hear "Come hither" And enter.

Weary, dreary Treading soul The bothering hole Underneath my sole Reminds that That all this walking Has become quite old In pursuit of something Other than this cold Heartless feeling I know So please God Show me the way to go

All conversions come from a recognition of one’s bankruptcy.

A man rejects God neither because of intellectual demands nor because of the scarcity of evidence. A man rejects God because of a moral resistance that refuses to admit his need for God.

When you see yourself in a crowded room Do your fingers itch, are you pistol-whipped Will you step in line or release the glitch Can you fall asleep with a panic switch

I know.

It's a literal battle trying to fight my own thoughts and maintain my composure. I have to keep reminding myself that having faith will keep me going, that panicking isn't going to help or even change anything. I know God knows exactly how to help someone, and I know firsthand that God can change me. God, help me, change me... you know that she's the desire of my yearning heart. You alone know Lord....

Day 1 of many sleepless nights to come: Find myself reminiscing.... Find myself dreaming.... Find myself regretting all of the things I did wrong and blaming those errors on this current crap.... Find myself praying to God that things could just fix themselves.... Find myself nervous of what could occur next.... Find myself here with a racing mind.... Find myself being tormented.... Find myself now hurt because I was just rejected and being simultaenously tormented.... Find myself wishing I had your heart again.... Lord help me!!!! I can't bear this weight!!
