What difference does faith make?
It bestows upon you the capacity..
to see the move
that gets you out of
The Devil’s stalemate.
That many moves into the future
opens up a door
into a timeline where you win.

You find your way there
not through cheating fates
or through embracing sin..
with aid from forces down below.
You find your way there, rather,
through embodying His love..
A force unstoppable
from up above.
Through your undying virtue
and consistency
and labor..
You’ll find the strength
to walk this path
not through The Devil’s..
rather, through God’s favor.

The Devil may be powerful, indeed..
but even to himself,
the consequence of wielding
all this power
through The Poet’s quill
is blind.
God’s power, on the other hand,
is The All-seeing,
universal will to life.
Through Him, the path to Eden
you shall find..
whenever the timing is right.

The threads
of all our future fates unfold
and weave themselves
into a cosmic tapestry..
within a blink of His Eye.
And when I opened up
to Him, I saw so clearly..
A truth that I had failed
to notice for so long
through mine.

You may cry
as much as you’d like
about the hand
that you were dealt.
You can agonize
however long
you choose
about the pain
through which you felt.
To The Devil
you may plead
and to The God Almighty
you may pray
all night and day.
Truth is,
it never was about the cards
that Lady Fortune dealt you..
rather, it was about the strategy
with which you chose to play..

The Game of Life.
Don’t pine away
to grieve The Harvest,
so elusive and unreachable,
that never seems to come,
oh my sweet child…
Instead,
continue sharpening
your trusty scythe..
upon the whetstone
of purpose and meaning..
and brace your heart
for His inevitable love..
inconceivably boundless..
and ever giving.
