There isn’t anything don’t you see
That will not be overheard
So I put my heart out there
For all to see
Just to let you know and
Tell you this from me
I will love you for all eternity
And if by the grace of God
We are ever allowed to be
I will wait faithfully but alas
Not patiently for you to see
That I’m right here waiting
Where I said I’d be
And if by God’s Divine decree
We will never get to be
I will always be grateful
That for just a little while
You belonged to me.
Ever wonder why the birds sing at first light
Or why the elephant always remembers where it was born
And goes back to die
How the raptors know where their territory is
On the electric poles
How fish always know when to spawn and where
Why the bee gathers pollen to make the honey
As it pollinates the flowers
How the tree knows what year it is
As they start a new ring
Why babies instinctively know how to nurse
Whether it be bottle or breast
Or how to take that first breath of oxygen
That had already been provided
Where the darkness went when God created His Light
Plus the sun, and moon, and stars in our vast Universe
Why none of what I have mentioned
Was due to anything a human’s creativity
Could accomplish
These are just a few of the trillions upon trillions
Of God’s amazing miracles
That happen every moment of everyday
Yet ‘we’ act like ‘we’ had the plan
We are pompous strutters of ‘self’
Instead of being humble and eternally grateful
For the gifts He has bestowed on us and for us!
Thank You, Father and forgive us, Please.
I see others on their walk of faith
Strong and so together
But that’s not me
I’m all over the place
One day I may pray and another
Totally forget
Doubt can be a companion
That rears it’s ugly head
I can help others to understand
A few things of what I know
Then be so mad at myself
For my shaky silliness and weakness
I read books about the great men
And women of God
I marvel at the knowledge to be
Gleaned by the anointed writers of Theology
Yet the one Book I ignore the most
Is the one I need the most
Perfect faith lives within the pages
Of this Book
Written by ‘The Author and Finisher’
Of my faith
The Alpha and Omega. The LORD of all
Yet I stumble on my path to Him
I fall so short and fail so much
I want to please and be a good child
But I get in the way
When I read of the trials and tribulations
Others have gone through
Or listen to them tell of great blessings
And the things they have done
I hang my head in shame
I have no crowns to lay at my Savior’s feet
Only a broken heart beaten up by life
Patched together with tattered threads
Of sin and remorse
Covered by excuses that I know would sink
Into the soggy quicksand of pity and woe
Yet I do truly believe that He loves me beyond measure
He forgives me my failures and laziness
When I repent then ‘He restores my soul
And cleanses me from all unrighteousness’
I don’t and can’t do it myself
My faith is in Him and Him alone
But as long as I live and breathe on this Earth
I will fail in my walk and my faith
But the One who flung the Universe across the Heavens
Still hold me in His arms as I cry my tears
Of regret at failing Him
Like a child I climb upon my Father’s lap
As I weep with a heart of gratitude
He tells me I am His beloved
That I am worthy ‘By the stripes that paid
The price for me’
One day I will leave this sinful world
And enter those Heavenly Gates of purest gold
No longer afraid or ashamed
My Savior will hold out His nail-scared hands
And welcome me into His home
I will be accepted completely and have
Beyond all shadows of doubt: A Perfect Faith!
Thank You, Jesus!
I can rest now
My heart is at ease
I know everything will be okay
The tears fell into the night
Like cascading waterfalls
I tried to push the hurt away
With tender thoughts
And fervent prayers
But nothing helped
Then I heard His still small voice
Whisper to my soul
“Everything will be okay.”
Now I trust God’s eternal plan
For He always does things right
So I hold my heart in my hands
Outstretched to Him
Giving it to Him for His perfect will
I don’t need to worry or fret anymore
For everything will be okay!
When our worlds collided
We took notice
Not with big bangs or hallelujahs
But smiles and simple touches
That meant so much
The Universe kept spinning
As stars lite up the night
We had found each other
Beyond all yesterdays
The future danced before us
In the pale moonlight
Sunshine then warmed our souls
While gentle sea breezes
Caressed the sandy shore
Then it happened! Life!
Different directions and paths to take
Other plans took over way back when
Still the joy of knowing
Beyond all doubt that
Over the years and up to now
We had been touched by God’s amazing grace
He will be the One to complete the dance
How beautiful it will be
If it be His will
To dance again under
His canopy of stars
In the pale moonlight
As the angels sing.
If you are reading this
You need to know
That Father God loves you so
It does not matter what you have done
Because you see dear child
You are not the only one
We have all sinned and fell short
Each and every day
But, Father God, gives us the time we need
To get right as we kneel and pray
And ask for His sweet mercy and forgiveness
He holds us to His tender heart
Knowing we are all full of human weakness
And to Him always of much worth
We must teach those who don’t know Him
Of the call upon their lives to go forth
The mission field is right next door
Or maybe across the street
It may be in a Veteran’s hospital
Or a nursing home
Where you will find the one you are to meet
Helping them to find hope to carry on
And not to give up the fight
Wherever Father God has called you to go
Just go with His Light
He has already directed your path
And set your purpose to be of much help
Don”t doubt or be afraid of others
Or what they might think
They may be the ones He has sent to save
From His wrath
Time is running out for everyone
So we all must teach and be ready
To share the Gospel to those we must reach
No matter the hardships or the cost
For tomorrow will never come
And yesterday is lost
so only as we all can see will we have today
To show others as Scripture tells
That Jesus is the only way
To Father God’s throne of mercy and grace
So go forth and fulfill your purpose
Someone is waiting to see your smiling face.
Dreams are fickle little things to carry around
Yet weigh so much if not achieved
Hopes dwindle and doubts betray
All because they cannot receive joy or keep believing
They second guess everything
Should they do this or maybe even that
Which never gives a true answer
But yet they try to listen
They need fulfillment and no empty spaces to call home
Always wondering and expectantly waiting
Searching for the path that will finally
Bring them home to their destiny
Sweet dreams, happy dreams
Always complete with time
Bringing the heart to the full knowledge
That God has the answers and always always knows the way.
My grateful heart
Soars among sky high clouds
Flitters above the roses
On the wings of a butterfly
Dewdrops kiss my cheeks
Then water my soul
Joy competes with sunshine
Then wins as springs flow
Over glistening pebbles of hope
Birthed again by prayer
With complete submission to God
For His eternal plan.
Wondering about some things
Wandering through my mind tonight
Will today be better than tomorrow?
Has my future taken another turn
In unexpected ways?
Unknowns call from the mist
But I won’t answer
Life’s curtain hangs beyond
The door of time
Waiting for me to mess up
And miss my miracles
I’m stronger now and I pray
For help from above
God answers and let’s me know I’ll be okay
The promise is there for me
To hold in my heart
And not throw it away with doubts
He has an eternal plan and I’m sure
There is one especially for me!
Over the course of time
Some dreams do come true
Life delivers them like a newborn child
Soft, sweet, full of promise
Sheltered in the heart until birth
Waiting, hoping, learning
While watching for the signs
The pains of new life emerging
Stretching our mortal faith
Belonging, knowing, accepting
Fulfillment of the truth
Strengthened by the knowledge
that each moment, each hour, each day
Will bring forth this amazing promise
Which I will call: Miracle
