Living in the Spirit of God

God personally lifted me out of my deepest infirmity
saved and I thank him for that.
This poetry slam has a very big meaning for 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, but I don't shout anything...
---
Where are you?
---
God, I need...
Stop
Falling and lost, I kneel before you, Jesus.
---
Where are you?
---
What I feel is not that 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 sets my heart racing.
My gaze, yes my gaze, lifts up to you.
My eyes go back and forth, tracking your breath.
Your trace that leaves a quiet path.
---
Leaves in my heart!
---
I go further and further, no longer back but forward
and don't stand still 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 get up, out of my infirmity.
Am stronger, stronger because of you!
My heart... my soul... my body,
healed by your hand!
You Jesus rise from the light for me. You go into the darkness.
Draw me away, away from this captivity!
---
Evil has lost!
---
You win.
you win over me.
As 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 failure.
But...
---
he did it out of unbridled and unconditional love!
---
Therefore it is truly said,
we live, not perish.
Now I'm standing upright! See you, you and only you, so big and loving.
---
As our father!
---
And I look up, up into the sky.
Knowingly liberated, liberated from fear and harm.
---
Yes, truly, you have saved me.
---
But whoever endures to the end will be saved.
Matthew 24:13
