A Jealous God... Another Collaboration of Two Great Minds...

A JEALOUS GOD by KFarrell People & Cliff Crepsac

Salvation is sought by those who seek to be saved --

The Giver of All, ask not much...

But Believe in... Everything He has already gave...

And a jealous God spake these words

Exodus 20 and 1… a dime of commandments

Divine… details… defined… and from them principles

613 other law spawned by the ancient rabbis

To complete the entirety of Moses’ Law

Thou shalt not… that how He began

On stone tablet’s fabric… because he meant it

Written and prescribed… like a warning and restrictions

On medicine bottles… on glass shelves in medicine cabinets

The inscription wasn’t meant to be for fiction… all its restrictions

By the finger of a jealous deity… like He is in the verses of Exodus 20

The expression was meant to leave an impression

Like tattooed skin… to help us avoid committing this sin

Like He did with Adam and Eve back in the Garden

Before Adam and Eve found out they were naked

On those stone tablets the first commandment was given

By a jealous God… no other gods before me

And the second… no graven image… shall you worship but me

But we all act like we all have forgotten

So a jealous God… sits high… and looks low… at us… in disgust

While we worship everything but Him

We have put everything before Him

Ourselves… our money… our cars…

Our houses… our children… our clothing…

And our significant others… all before him

The Old Testament jealous God… a loving strict Jehovah

Before grace and mercy was applied… god forbid… if you did

The punishment was simply… Death!

And you thought we would have quit

But of course we didn’t… we still ‘til this day

Put everything before… Him

A Jealous God…

In your guiding light

I was made from the temple of the body to the crown of the Mind

I was chiseled by Your hands…

Crafted from Excellence –

I’m at the mercy to the Father of all our time

How can I forget you when you’re EVERYWHERE?

The First & the Only Ruler - the Sender of our Savior

You gave us options with choices,

Where some wrongfully chose

Your Son still taught us to forgive our traitors

Have we lost our way… not I ... "I say"

I pray for the day I can stand by Your right hand side

Life is just a trial basis between…

The innocence of the Young as well as…

The ignorance of a grown man's pride

He shields me from harm… from close to death situations

I came upon… The Highest of them All - Is Most Gracious

We mustn't rush HIM with favors…

But Love HIM with Patience, that act alone should be Instantaneous

A Judge & Executioner to the Lost Followers & False Parishioners

His Strike will be without Notice

The Power of Prayer is the Belief in Strength

HEED: Where Absence of Faith can render you Hopeless

Defers & Non-Believers, claiming they're Soul Survivors –

Disrespect always comes with a Price

Lack of appreciation shows Your worth is in question,

How dare we not hold a Torch to the Giver of Life

Live without sin, claim No Other but HIM

Glorification of Objects are just some… He doesn't allow

Our Creator is watching to feel if He's worshipped,

The Church is a building

But the Heart is where I've written my Vows

The several names You hold or given by others are the same

For HIM: Prepare to be ready

On myself I place blame… my selfish ways ...

It is me who is Jealous Because I Share HIM with many...

DON'T LOSE YOURSELF. THE POTENTIAL PRINCIPLE.

We all go through different cycles in this production called life that has the potential to educate us if we just allow these lessons to embrace our soul and not ignore them. Life is just one transformation after another. From seconds to minutes, minutes to hours and from hours to days we continuously change. But not all of us evolve. Unfortunately not all of us possess what it takes to learn from our mistakes, as well as our accomplishments, and integrate those lessons into our every day lives. I am guilty of this as well. Instead of embracing my blessings, I've been questioning my shortcomings. Joining the societal pity party in attempts to prove absolutely nothing to nobody. Not tapping in to my true potential and cheating myself and those around me of the greatness that may lie within me. 

Like many of us, our consciousness is still undeveloped and will remain that way without the proper knowledge and determination it takes to awaken our inner force. This begins with attaining the best possible way of not allowing life to control you and learn how to control your life. How, you ask? Well for me it was just getting up and being productive. Procrastination is a dream killer. So I began viewing work and educating myself as something I WANTED to do instead of something I HAD to do. I'm changing the culture of my thought process. This all begins with not allowing emotions to control me anymore. 

There comes a time in everyone life where we have that one moment of clarity. Whether it stems from tragedy or triumph life just seems a little clearer. It can come from a broken heart or abundance of affection, but whatever the basis for such comprehension you just want to change. To be different. To be better. I have loved and I've been loved. I have hurt and I've been hurt. I have lost those who are irreplaceable and decided that was all the reason I needed not to push on. To accept an attitude that I have come as far as I can and I was now to be sucked in to my own proverbial quicksand and allow life to suffocate me. In a sense I was committing mental suicide and emotional degradation. That was until my own moment of clarity warned me of my inevitable destruction like the 'Check Engine' light just popped on in my soul. I needed to repair myself on the inside first and decided I would do this by eliminating limitations. Through the years my devils within has convinced me that I was incapable of achieving. But through reading, studying and enlightenment I learned that when one puts a limit on what he CAN be, he has put a limit on what he WILL be.

In a nutshell, our potential is limitless! 

This isn't me attempting to be a self-help guru or anything like that. I'm just sharing in hopes that someone will embrace this and want to do better. I have come in contact with way too many people that have given up on the evolution of their life. Folks that just settle. But why settle when life and everything in it could be yours if you just reach out and grab it. Claim it. Because your overall potential lies in what you can do but have not done yet. BE GREAT.

Love.
