Sound Mind

This poem is dedicated to all those who need a reminder of the importance and blessing clarity of thought truly is. Our God is a Healer of all and wore the crown of thorns as a deliberate act of compassion. Jesus identified with those to come who would suffer a fraction of that mental anguish and I am overwhelmed that he did this for me. He did it for so many more as well. May this poem bless you!

Jesus gives a clear and peaceful mind

SOUND MIND

Jesus wore the crown of thorns
He knows the agony and torment
Of the mind that I endured
I have a compassionate High Priest
Who knows all of my suffering.
Because of His Blood, I am
Healed. Every drop from
Twisted, coiled thorns
Poured down for me.

Now jumbled thoughts
Become clear. My heart
No longer beats fast with
Fear of death and darkness,
But with anticipation for
The presence of the Light.







My mind, now sound
Rooted and grounded in
The truth of who God says
I am. Lies are banished
He calls me balanced.

This mind is stayed on Jesus
It does not wander down
Paths of delusion or confusion,
But stays straight in the Divine
Order of God, every thought
Filtered by his spirit

This mind thinks creatively
Operates, innovates
This mind holds great
 insights and potential
Because this mind is
Bound forever to the
Mind of Christ!
