There is art Inside of me- Struggling to find ways To be set free (It burns in twists and turmoils; creativity spills out... but what good can shine through this?) I pray for inner sensing Of the Holy Spirit inside Hoping for the release Of dirty sin and pride To mold what I mold Into shapes of Divine Him Speak what I speak With ideas of Heavenly whim To create something beautiful Which reflects glory and truth And shows the God-evidence In artistic proof.
Reason for writing:
There is a conflict going on in my heart and soul. I want what I create (my poems and writings and all else artistic) to shine through what I truly believe in..my standards and passions and commitments. To quote from Sarah Masen, a Christian artist.."I have not found any evidence that faith, art, and life are seperable." Truly, they can't be if you have faith. But, of course, there is the sinful nature which bucks and kicks against this. That is the conflict I'm writing about here; and the desire to please God through what I love to do.
