Is Image Everything?

Alone and far away up high
Speaking a silent message to the few
Recognized by mostly all
And usually almost always, passed by

There may be light coming forth through you
How well you lead the way
The downtrodden and homeless know the directions
To temporarily ease not having had any food

You are a trinket for some
A fad that passes with the wind
A meaningless lump of metal
That is not worn to be lived, but to be seen

You signal a supposed relationship
An intimacy not shared by many who adorn you
The evidence of no change lies in the flesh
Where it is unable to mask the spirit

The colors are varied and stones are always optional
Sizes range for every imaginable ego
But the lone weight was yet carried by only one
With the help of a man giant in nature and spirit

You stand as a symbol while the mark has already been made
By the very Spirit of GOD
For one and all the same
The spiritual indication of ownership by consent of verbal decree
That I belong to GOD
And HE is Master over me

I do not take you for granted
I do not combine variety of fashions
I recognize there is only One source for every one of my needs
And I refuse to challenge my commitment
With compromises that only separate The One True GOD I see

So, I am careful to acknowledge your presence
Realizing the interpretations are plentiful and void
And the reality of the transformation is in the spirit
Not in the fad or a smile or metal that is cold

I hold to high esteem the purpose that you served
As my future was determined by a position upon you
That could never be swerved
The complete and total mutilation of pain that was perfect
Paid the price for the sin I was born with

We know in part that your original state was wood
Ripped from your roots for the sake of what had to be good
But it pleased the Father that in HIM all fullness should dwell
And it terrorized the demons running and screaming in hell

They are used to your shape
There is no fear in your appearance, large or small
The power is in praying to GOD in JESUS’ name
The power that was first and will always be above all

And if grief or danger come a calling
I know not to reach for that which clings to me
My Salvation will keep me in the name above all others
As GOD is surely able to keep my Sisters & my Brothers

Know Who has written HIS name upon your heart
Be obedient and see HIM walk with you each and every day
And you will never have to worry about what you might have left at home
Simply put, JESUS CHRIST is The Way,The Truth, and The Life….
And that is all I have to say…..
