Topic: CONFUSED (07/29/21)
Confusion has no place in the Lord’s church today,
yet it seems to be declaring that “it’s okay.”

Jesus is coming back for a unified bride,
not one of division with no respect for life.

If we as believers will look unto Jesus,
we’ll find more ways in which we can please Him.

Praying to Jesus, who’s in control,
without confusion taking its toll.

Toll on the minds of those in despair,
not knowing that God really does care!

In disposing of the enemy’s ploys,
God’s love will give us unspeakable joy!

He uses His Word to make wise the simple,
casting the enemy out of His Temples!

Confusion will not take up personal space,
when we as believer’s accept His embrace.

God’s embrace is offered to all receiver’s,
not just to sustain His current believer’s.

We’re not to confuse the two listed above,
but to accept them all with His brotherly love.

This love can only exist when we are in Christ,
and realize each life was redeemed with a price.

His unconditional love can only take place,
when we as His children understand His grace.

Mercy and grace given to all and not just for us,
so, as the Body of Christ let’s not lose focus!

For God is not the author of
confusion but of peace, as in
all the churches of the saints.
I Cor. 14:33 (NKJV)

I think this poem reads quite smoothly. I don't have any suggestions on improvement; however, I want to point out that in stanza 9, receiver's and believer's should read receivers and believers, no apostrophe. Keep writing and God bless!

I think you make some great points. I also think God understands confusion way better than many think. That's a cool thing about having a God who took human form. He gets us. But you make some great points and will make the reader stop and think, which is always good.

I'm not much of a poet or grammatical expert but I think that Laura's suggestion of not having apostrophe's in those two words is correct.

I'm glad she pointed that out so I didn't need to research -haha

I enjoyed your thought provoking poem. Thank you.
