Seven Heavens

Life on the go ❤️

A little bit of you

A little bit of me

A little bit of us in all you see

Ashes

The book of life

Kept near the fire place

In search of warmth and grace

I sat on in a fixated gaze

unaware of an intruder my breath paused

For those fleeting moments

Raging the fire that was dormant

Was the wind nourishing it in ways vehement

Left now, is a Chaotic Silence

Amidst Ashes, just Ashes

    Wonderful Poem Celina.

    I see the imagery of fire, ashes, and chaos as a powerful representation of trials we face in life.
    But in God, there is always hope beyond the ashes.

  5. Greetings Celina.

    I want to say “Congratulations 🎉” from your very first post till the ones know, I can see a huge different and a whole lot different level of Commitment. Thank you for always entertaining us with Beautiful, kind and loving Words.

    May your light never grow low and May God Continue to use you to uplift and encourage others wherever you are.

    Your Poem is beautiful and very deep and your poem “Ashes” represents a spiritual journey of seeking God’s grace, going through trials that ignite a once-dormant passion, and being transformed by the Holy Spirit. The fire symbolizes purification, while the ashes represent humility and renewal after everything unnecessary is burned away. Ultimately, it reflects finding spiritual growth and clarity through challenges, leaving behind what no longer serves the soul. Hope this was helpful.

    God bless you Celina

  8. As people of faith we have to be mindful of the “intruders” thus the line in the Lord’s Prayer: “lead us not into temptation”. I’ve never been one to believe that the Lord leads us into temptation but the temptation to sin is only a decision away. Intruders can also be the sins of those around us that distract us – even if only for a moment – and take our fixated gaze off the Prize. The author of Hebrews encourages us to “lay aside every weight and sin that clings so closely” so that we can “run with perseverance the race that is set before us”. (Hebrews 12:1) So let’s imitate Mary who sat at the feet of Jesus while her sister, Martha, busied herself. “Your sister has chosen the better half”

  9. “God is Good all the Time
    May our tongue and mind
    Have that always entwined
    For God is Good all the Time.”

    You are very right in bringing into perspective the essence of my poetry here. The word “temptation” if looked at closely has the contraction “Temp.” Which is generally used to suggest anything temporary, and most of the time we humans chase what’s temporary forgetting the abundance of The One who is in ‘The Now’. Even the world we live in is “Temporal”; the body -that’s our uniform here on Earth is Temporal, It’s our Soul that lives and The One Who the owner of our Soul, lives IN US, through US and With US now and forever.

    B C D
    Birth Choice Death
    All that lies in between B and D is our choice that is governed by our free will, the will that’s given by Our Great Master. Thus, we ought to surrender each time and Pronounce the words “LET YOUR WILL BE DONE”, so that we may remain away from that which is a sin.

    Thank you GM for taking out time from your tied up schedule just to read and respond to my post. Your Guidance and support means a lot to me💕 God bless you with His Merciful Peace ☮️

  10. You are most welcome, CoND. You reference TEMP and to be honest I thought you were about to speak of one’s inner temperature 🤒 and ability to tolerate “intruders” that cause a fever to spike. Or the temperature outside that causes some to run inside and turn on the A/C, indicating what we can tolerate. As the old saying/idiom goes, “if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen” for heat is the catalyst for change and it’s heat that – when alllied properly – brings about transformation. Ever drop a tea bag into a cup of cold water? It’s heated water that causes the chemical reaction thus steeping to occur. Be that as it may, by allowing “Thy Will Be Done” to be our mantra we’re removing ourselves from the Master Chef’s kitchen and allowing God’s Will to do what God’s Will does best – bring about the change of heart that we, as mere humans, are incapable of bringing to heart. May Christ’s peace 🕊️ be with you and yours as well, Celina. Keep doing what you do best – stay faithful to the Master Chef!
