isolation

drives men to unimaginable depths.
destroying lives.
brings death.
brought life?
destroying death?
brings men to unimaginable height?

words possess power.
it takes no spell to unmake a man.
hearts are tender things-
how careless have i been?
by my words i am judged.
with them i may build up or tear down.

i write to you.
to you, reading these words right now.
i have no idea where you are.
i have no idea what you are experiencing.
you have a choice.
will you believe the promises of God or not?

i have been silent far too long.
too much is at stake.
this is no game.
there is no restart.
i only live once.
will i be faithful?
will i hallow the name of Christ?
will i believe the promises of God?
here i stand. by the grace of God, i can do no other.
by his death and isolation i live.
