Before Revelation

These are spots in your love feasts,
while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves.

raging waves of the sea,
foaming up their own shame;
wandering stars
for whom is reserved
the blackness of darkness
forever.

Jake

-------
Let all those who seek You rejoice
and be glad in You;
Let such as love Your salvation
say continually,
"The LORD be magnified!"
Psalm 40:16 NKJV
