I want to light a candle in the night
for all I am cold and shivering in the shadows of evening stars
they glow so much and glitter like champagne which is emitting from palaces-afar
outside the gates of such grandeur
God's prophets cry out from afar
yet their cries are they in vain?...like merchant war cries in market places?
They sang a song which you did not dance
and a dirge which you did not mourn
then what would be when the Son of Man
comes again with angels and cherubs' company upon Jesus Christ adorn?

Crowns of pearls are worn round the heads
of people which I see
I leaned close to the windows
and I could see
the warmth and glow which feeds their bellies
and their wine stained lips part open to guffaw
with one hand holding sweet reddened wine
and the other a fork pierced morsel soiled with fat
ah, alas for you who are rejoicing now for you shall indeed regret with mourn
the ones who are wandering in the streets
forgotten, persecuted and those which you neglect to see
you call them names and crucify
yea, crucify them so that they shan't be in your way

The shivering twilight had stars dancing meekly
and the cold air gathering with increasing dread of wintry prophecy
O howling winds thy properties lamenting to deaf ears
and the psalms of prophets lay patiently to pierce through the stubborn hearts of men...
my spirit flickers like the fire lit on the string of a candlestick
yea, the wax be burnt halfway right now and the lamentation has yet to cease...

the howling winds
the wintry cold which pierces through every mortal heart
yea, it leaves frostbites which was summarised why cold cannot befriend the heat...

I stood nearby and discovered that I
was bitten by cold wintry bitterness...
A warm hand was placed upon my arm
and I felt a warm rush of pleasant warmth
twas my Lord and God Jesus Christ
the King, Most glorious only begotten Son of God

"My child thou art bitter
that bitter frostbit thy heart
Beloved, let go and let mercy flow
and grace heal your ailing heart...
My dear, forgive and let your grudges go...
You have harboured much of hatred and anger
it has infested your spirit and your soul...

Before thy sin or even consider gazing at its carnal prospect
that it may satisfy you but oh so for a while
think of brimstone and fire
and thou shall cease to thread nor begun to think of sinning at all...

Yes, tis hard I know
but see the farmer's patience is seen in the seeds he has sown
for he does not demand for it to hurry up and grow
yea, he might complain or be anxious but overall...he willingly waits for
the seeds to slowly sprout

I am the Sower
yea, I and your Heavenly Father
in union with God the Holy Ghost
I am not a God of anger...nor that of vengeance
I shall see and rule with just and mercy reigning beside My generous grace...

I love you child
then listen...
for I love you ...
I want to always be with you...
Listen to My words beloved one...

Forgive, let go...and trust in Me
for I am the Lord your God...
I have chosen you and I shall be with you
till the very end of time...

dwell not in harbours of hate and woe
for their company does not complement your spirit nor your soul...
let go, My child and trust in Me...
I shall lead you onwards, follow Me...
come now...just follow Me...
"

Now the stars above they scattered still
like spirits of prophets in Heaven...afar...
yet though they are in Heaven scattered bright and brilliant
my, how they shine like diamonds upon a royal crown...

They string like beads of rosary
O rosary of stars so gleaming bright
like Mary's office of majesty
She the Mother of God...tabernacle of the Mighty Words of God
She smiled at me and I smiled back at her...
and then she laid a hand upon my arm...
then she gently said;

"The world is hardened by cold of greed
and riches of hunger which cannot be satisfied indeed...
but child thy anger and thy grudge
is hindering thee from seeing God...
But lo, see still the merciful God
Yes, your Lord and God Jesus Christ
deems you precious in His eyes
and so you remain like the stars which scatter in the skies
in the flock of my Son, your Lord God Jesus Christ....

You are His and He is yours
do not be dismayed
you are in the care of the Lord your God...
He loves you so and I love you too...
I thought you should know...

Be not afraid of the road ahead
for the Lord your God has traveled before you, dear...
He has made a path..child do not fear...go on...steadfast then do not fear!

Though the sun may fail to rise one day
and the crow of rooster cease to sound
ah, when your God Jesus Christ comes the second time
to the world, then child I pray you be prepared...
keep steadfast...and never fear...pray for grace to persevere in the faith...

bear thy cross and wear the crown
emulate the ways of the Lord your God, my Son...
that thy efforts deemed precious and though however frail your efforts be
if your efforts are sincere and true...
then though a morsel and not a dish
still you'd be counted...as good servant...if you persevere and hold steadfast...

For blessed is he whose faith still remains
even till the very end...
Then he shall rejoice and his mourn no more
and forever shall he be in Heaven's threshold ...
"

Then the Lord Jesus Christ my God
looked kindly at me...
"I love you. I forgive you. Sin no more...and be faithful to the gospel..."
then in repentance, in the state of forgiveness I knelt before my God...and Lord..

"Lord Jesus..."

He smiled and looked at me...
then knelt down to kiss my forehead...

I see the stars strewn out in Heaven
and the glow in the pearl white castles...
the candle glow and clinking of rejoicing still exists
yea, they still are pot bellied fed
and lips wine drunken
my bitter spite and anger
subsided for now...
and peace had come to soften my hardened brows

I see the candle upon the brass hold...
and the light which lit upon its wax threshold
the stars still strewn out there in Heaven
and they still echoed the voices of the prophets which God sent forth
I pray to hear and I pray that others hear them too

now, though the cold and wintry wind
their spite and discouragement still hounding as they blow by
though I may be frostbitten but only so for a while
as I tried to fix my eyes on the Lord Jesus Christ...
I know that sometimes I may and will bow
to my own selfish sins...
but as long as I try to follow Him
the Lord God Elohim...

even the winds of cold and wintry dust
of spite and hatred -which is dense and filled with vengeance's lust...
I know that though I may bow to my own carnal sins
God's grace shall carry me...
His grace shall fix my eyes upon His Holy, Holy words...
yes, none shall separate me from the love of God
Through His only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ my sovereign Lord.
Hebrews 12:2, 2Timothy4:7,Romans 12:12, 1Thessalonians 5:16-18

It started out all because I was holding a glass bottle of water the wrong way. My earthly mother shot at me and said I had a mean temper. I had not said anything to her but she accused me of having an angry facial expression. Then she commented that this was why I was in and out of jobs so many times...and she said mean stuff about how my previous bosses had fired me because of my temper.

She is making accusations from history of a timeline of 10-15 years ago. I am different now. I have stayed in this job for over 2 years now. I am doing fine.

She is holding to the past and her OWN bitterness...

I know for sure I shall succeed this time. I know I shall succeed, believing I would get good grades for my TESOL (Teaching English as a Second Language) diploma. I believe that I can achieve the stuff on my list, I
am still struggling with the negative voices.

The writing initially came off as a source of frustration and anger...

and I was angry and still am...at my earthly mother...this writing came to be...

I hope you who are struggling just like me, who feels inadequate, a failure and alone...know that Jesus is with you and with Him you shall triumph...and it is always darkest before dawn...
