Who we are is not defined by our sins or our wins© ~Kim-Evinda

When you think of the words fail or failure, what comes to mind?

Thanks for joining us for Monday’s Message with Abigail Rice and Trench Classes United. Today’s poem is a great reminder that we live in a world wrought with the propensity to compare on social media platforms, but we are not defined by our successes or our failures.

Crystallized like honey
Stuck in the dark
For too long

We become hard

Hardened to this life
Hardened to His love
Hardened to the ability to receive
His gifts from above

Who we are
Is not defined
By our sins
Or our wins

But rather by time
As we live on this earth
That revolves around the Sun
We often become stuck

By our own limitations
And beliefs
That time can either heal
Or take away

Burdened by strife
That this life often brings

The clock again
Strikes three

Time to wake up
Time to leave
Time to grieve

Time to heal
To appeal
And seal
Every Word He has ever spoken
& every time we have folded

Listening to the seasons
And tides
Often we fall pressure
To the whispers
And lies

But the funny thing about time
It can flip on a dime
And one day
We could wake up to the most violent of crimes
Or even worse the loss of a life

So what do we do when we become crystallized?

Submerge into the Water of Life

I often think about the story of Job
His trials
And belief
That he was victimized

The time he wasted
Listening to his friends lies
Until he finally listened to his Creator
The Maker of the waves and the tides

Trials and temptations will come
And we will become hardened in this life

But that honey will flow
Once we submerge into the Water of Life
Even sweeter than before
For all we endured

After Job lost it all
He gained back so much more

And if you read between the lines
The names of his three daughters
Given after his trial
Jemimah
Keziah
And Keren-happuch

Meaning
Day by day
The same as
Horn of antimony

Antimony according to the Cambridge Dictionary
Is a chemical element that is a silver-white, poisonous metal.
It is hard but easily broken and is used to make other metals harder and stronger…

In Jobs scenario
I believe antimony is referring to the trials of life

Trials are hard
& can easily break us
But they mold us
& shape us

To come out stronger than we were before

Even something poisonous can God only turn to be used for good…

Love,
Abigail
