Thoughts for Today!

Suffering brings fruit!

If you want victory surrender to God first!

The world is tainted with truth but the Word is an absolute

If you want to experience the Holy Spirit thirst!

Give to the unnoticed and misguided because Jesus did!

If you want freedom abide in Christ

Be mature like an adult but like love like a kid

Forgive 77 x 7 times not just twice

Soul’s Ache

Withstand

Every demand

With your head

In your hand

Feeling scared

Underprepared

If you trust God

Know He cares

Delegations

Uncomfortable situations

Be bold

Keep your ambitions

Jesus to the cross

Shows whose boss

It’s destiny

Not a coin toss

This world is ugly

Deepest black sea

A current

Of hypocrisy

Jesus says

To pray

For everyone

Esp. for your enemy

Trust your faith

The soul’s ache

The map of longing

To never forsake

Footsteps in the Garden

Idle talk

Can you walk the walk?

Some days are strange

Can’t handle the change

Bad fruit on the vine

But I say I am fine

Pluck the weeds

To cover up my greed

And idle hands

And unmet plans

God, where are You?

Will you make my heart anew?

I hear your footsteps in the garden

I hope my heart doesn’t harden

But I am scared

And underprepared

But You say, “I take you as you are”

I will be with you no matter if you travel far

Time is a Dance

Why don’t you take a chance?

When you know time is a dance?

Around and around we go

To new a oblivion of opportunity

Time follows like so

I wish I could put time in a box

But it wants to be fluid

Like a lake into a river

This dance echos the free

Dance your little hearts out

Time Haiku

Time stands still once more

Muster courage again

Don’t let active clocks war

The Power of Scripture

For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory

Blessed are the pure in heart for God they will see

A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord will direct his steps

I will exalt you, Lord, for you lifted me out of the depths

We can’t do anything without the power of Scripture

He is our peace and blessed assurance

Without Him we wouldn’t be content and pure

He gives love and life insurance

Your word is a lamp to my feet

Let patient ever have its perfect work,

That you lacking nothing and may be perfect and complete

By His promised Holy Spirit seal you were marked

We can’t do anything without the power of the Word

It’s sharper than any two-edged sword

You want peace but your life is blurred

Remember Jesus by whose wounds you were

cured

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God

I am comforted by Your staff and rod

Man looks at the outward appearance but God looks at the heart

If you are lost, then the Bible is a great place to start

Selfless Love Leaves a Beauty Mark

Slander and gossip is all around

What is new?

We rise to fall down

We deserve it after all

My ear is itching

In my chair I am twitching

Are you talking about me too?

I am the talk of the town

You know it’s true

The billboard with a picture of a clown

The jester who is about to fall

Looking for peace is only wishing

My ripped paper heart needs stitching

I don’t want to hear, “I love you”

I take a road trip for a fresh breath of air

The journey frees my soul

Once I let go I don’t care

My spirit is my only hope

This world lost it’s spark

And left me in the dark

It’s time for me to take control

Selfless love is genuine and fair

But the opposite leaves a hole

But selfless love can take you anywhere

It will nurture and help you cope

Here my spirit can just park

As it leaves a beauty mark

And the rhythm of love remains full

Mother Earth, Where Are You?

Mother Earth, Where are You?

This sandy air has no moisture to it

I feel the coming rage

Slumped shoulders bring war

Started by the chaos of a plague

If I have committed sins

I have asked for forgiveness

But I see Pharaoh

Judgement is imminent, nevertheless

I won the lottery

A chance of a lifetime

To be enslaved

You think I have it made

I see people not smile

It breaks my very core

I see the political system in upheaval

My praying knees are so feeble

This world is changing again

But for the worst

A pregnant planet

Whose sick baby is coming forth

So speedy and slick

When left to our own devices

We are weak and scared

Only holding it up closer in a crisis

No, I do care

Do you care that I have tended this garden of life?

I feel desperation coming through

Mother Earth, where are you?

Drink Offering Poured

Tranquility would you increase?
As a river moves as it pleases

The water may break the dam

But don’t say you take me as I am

As you stab love in the back

And sin in the black

Love yourself and the Lord

Then the drink offering will be poured

Dawning Sunrise

Time is short
Get past the hurt

A new sunrise has dawned

Where the lines have been drawn

It’s ok; all is well

The Holy Spirit will dwell

In our hearts

When things feel the worst
