Life in the Spirit of God

God personally rescued me from my deepest infirmity
I was saved, and for that I thank him.
This poetry slam is very important to me and is dedicated to our Father in Heaven!
Thank you, Jesus!

God, where are you?
---
Where are you?
Where are you?
Not there, so far from me!
I scream, I shout, but I don't say anything...
---
Where are you?
---
God, I need...
Stop
Falling and lost, I kneel before you, Jesus.
---
Where are you?
---
What I feel is not so simple, because I am lost!
Yes, I'm falling and falling, and falling further... further into the depths.
---
Where are you?
---
What is that?
A spark... a light that makes my heart race.
My gaze, yes, my gaze rises up to you.
My eyes move back and forth, following your breath.
Your trace, leaving a quiet path.
---
Leaves a lasting impression on my heart!
---
I keep going and going, not back but forward.
and don't stop anymore.
Yes, in the end I see your untamed love.
---
I see you!
---
Yes, the cross that lies before me, so alive and free.
I rise up, I rise from my infirmity.
I am stronger, stronger because of you!
My heart... my soul... my body,
Healed by your hand!
You, Jesus, rise for me from the light. You go into the darkness.
You draw me away, away from this captivity!
---
Evil has lost!
---
You win.
You will defeat me.
So truly, as you once said: "It is finished!"
Just as you once died for our mistakes...died.
And God gave up his son for our failures.
But...
---
He did it out of boundless and unconditional love!
---
Therefore, it is truly said,
We live, we are not lost.
Now I stand upright! I see you, you and only you, so great and loving.
---
As our father!
---
And I look up, up into the sky.
Knowledge liberates, freed from fear and misfortune.
---
Yes, indeed, you saved me.
---
But those who endure until the end will be saved.
Matthew 24:13
