It's good for the soul

yuck, I hate this job.


1 John 1:8-10
8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.


James 5:16
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.


apologies with heaving sob
brine washed cheeks
- unpleasant job

friendship rended
now mended
overdue task now tended

joy to come?
renewal started?
softening of the once hard hearted?

at peace with God
at peace with you
confessing sins - so hard to do!

Scene from a second story window

shop away the sadness
that eats away your soul
gorge yourself on madness
- still you will not be full

your body is a ghost
that pleasures cannot heal
you died at birth
to live a life that's striving hard to feel

you're never more than happy
your delight will never "max"
the goodwill that' you've earned
is subjected to tax

but chin up child
heaven awaits
and wholeness
and Holiness
inside its gates
