Freeform Poem I: Self Identity

This is a piece of art written by a student in my student ministries who has an obvious heart for God's Kingdom to be present in the world around him. I thought I'd share:

finding within us a personal, resolved individual
free from binding
free from fetter
free from allegiance
that individual is to be our identity
our new self
us reborn
each separate and perfect and free and flowing without constraint in the wind now blowing

God made liberty and life
He caused each even to unravel
These deceptions of popularity
of depression
of materialism
of capitalism
of war machines
are nothing but smoke in our eyes

To live in Christ is to be free and live with liberty
to have peace and resound with His love
meed attitude
sweet servitude
submission to the ONE TRUE GOD
to join THE BODY
to be part of something large, immense,
indescribable by ideas, by words, by voice, by picture

God works in mysterious ways
we work as we were made
liberty is not be wasted
liberty is given not
for
television
movies
feasting
sleeping
video games
sports games
mall trips
margarita sips
liberty is given to us
so that we
may present it to
the one
and only
God.
