Poem or Song "Why Are You So Silent?"

Poem, Song "Why Are You So Silent?"

Why are You so silent with hungry hearts all starving?

So, looking for the Truth – in all the empty places that You provide instead.

Empty places when You hold The Cup that’s running over just out of our reach.

How can You hold it back from all the dying, weeping children?

Can’t You at least give the Clear Hope, if not yet the Deliverance?

Can’t You tell them why they suffer, if the answer and the healing yet must be delayed?

 

Are we the Fallen Angels who must pay the “final farthing” of what You made our Role in Your play,

With final happy ending that Your Character and Story demand:

Love and Joy for all that You created and ordained.

 

Agape, June - I'll also post this in the Poem and Song tabs

WHICH AGENDA AND WHOSE?: HAPPINESS IN THIS LIFE VERSUS ULTIMATE HAPPINESS IN THE FUTURE LIFE

*As Ordained:

So many individuals read the Bible with the perspective of thinking it will provide a better life in THIS world.  This leads to 1) failure of attempting to use Biblical/Spiritual principles in reaching their material/physical goals/existence, 2) disillusionment in the spiritual due to failure in this faulty application 3) perpetuation of the false teaching of being able to "have it now" materially and physically (by attempting to use spiritual principles), a lure to which we humans are very susceptible 4) failure in understanding God's nature and true ultimate agenda, 5) being robbed of the comfort that is available with accurate understanding of God's agenda (our future existence beyond this life) when life/God does not meet their material-world expectations. 6) negative judgment of others.

YOU ARE PERFECT, SINCE YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN IS PERFECT

I will reiterate that I am not a Greek "scholar" but this is what I have been given in my studies for your consideration.  June

Matthew 5:48 "You will be [Greek - esesthe] [are- as His ongoing Work] Perfect since/just as [Greek - osper] your Father in Heaven is Perfect."

This is quite a departure from the daunting sound of command of the traditional translation "BE YE Perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect." that has caused much concern and confusion.  This uses both the legalistic prejudices of the translators and the King James English of the time to give the phrase this "flavor".
