Preaching with a purpose

A sunny morn greets me this cheerful day, But I am wan for you are gone from sight. How can I sing when you are far away? How feel the joy when I have lost my light? Wake up my soul, you have a heavenly king, Who far surpasses any mortal man. O do not droop, but lift up and to him sing. He calls you now on woe to place a ban. Your worship should for him be given only. No other man should ever take his place And thus you never, ever should be lonely, But feel the wonder of his heavenly grace.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif For he himself has given, all for you, Only seek him and give to him his due. This sonnet tells of how fellowship with God is more wonderful than with another man. For more sonnets click below Sonnets and how to write them

Often we long for freedom. We think it will be wonderful, but if we are thinking of doing as we please it can be a curse and not a blessing. I love writing poetry. When I came back to it after many years I wrote a lot of rhymeless poems thinking I needed freedom to express myself. However, I am rediscovering structure,starting first with writing sonnets. A framework is a handy thing which actually helps you express yourself. It is the same with knowing God, we need to get to know him through the structure that the Bible gives us. It is not a straight jacket which leaves us no room for movement. Instead the structure of all Jesus taught about the Father is a tender cloak about one's shoulders.

I do. I used to prefer to write in an unstructured way, but now I've discovered the delight of having a framework. Somehow it brings freedom with it. That's how it is when we hand over to God and decide to go his way. The truth will make you free. When we fit into God's framework for us we find fulness of joy.
