Ok, Bubbles, here’s that long-awaited poem you wanted me to post!
The Martyr
By Becca
Slowly he stands,
In front of the crowds.
Standing silent before
The taunting mobs.
His crime no one knows,
His punishment is burning.
The people will not settle for less.
An epic of faithfulness,
A legacy of grace.
Footprints on hearts,
One finishing the race.
So onward he moves,
To the pile of sticks.
The doorway to heavenly freedom.
A gateway to the King he adores,
The One he is dying for.
One last look
At the loud, angry crowds,
Then upward pierces his gaze
And raises the praises of the Lord.
Burning with fire,
The dross melted out.
In its place a fine jewel,
No grief left, nor doubt.
blessings,
~becca~
God wants to use you in the world for His glory, but He must first take the world out of you.

Hebrews 12:1-3
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning shame, and sat down at the right hand of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
