Fear to fly and soar up high Yet, fear to fall and say goodbye Fear to achieve and even succeed For I know what greed and wealth can mean Fear to gain and then to lose Fear to dream whatever I choose Fear of becoming all I have seen Fear that hatred might consume me […]

A new visitor has come in Be it alone or with a friend Thoughtful and considerate we must be For each has a story we may not see. Will we “do unto Him” By this visitor who’s come in? Remember what it’s like To be the new kid on sight? Our initial response to one […]

My life is good from day to day Everything appears to be going my way. So, I have not a need for Christianity I might call on God, but only in tragedy. But what if that tragedy is my own? A more convenient season has come and gone. My opportunity then dies with my pride […]

I am tired and nearly spent I give my all – 100% It’s never enough May it be worth it. I feel so weak I’m on my knees I need your strength Lord, help me please. I cry out – Anguish and despair I believe You Not Satan’s snares.

Teach me to walk slower, Lord So that I may truly see All of the wonderful treasures You have given me. Teach me to take the time, Lord To stop and smell the flowers For, I can never rewind my life Or relive the hurried hours. Teach me to think before I speak, Lord Lest, […]

My head remains down and focused at His feet as the surrounding fire rages all around me. I replace my vision of the struggle with a vision of the cross instead. I do not see the struggle ~ I see Christ who has already conquered the struggle. I am choosing not to focus on the […]

May my words fall silent If my tongue wants to lie. May my pride be exposed If I become haughty in life. May my jealousy be subdued If I envy what isn’t mine. May my anger be dissolved If I seek revenge for a wrong. May my greed be squandered If I desire selfish pleasures. […]

A shepherd’s care for his flock Is not to be untold He shares a plea to keep his sheep Safe within its folds. Yet as he does, if one should stray Into the cold fields alone He’ll follow them and earnestly seek To save their lives, their souls. Why such concern for a wandering lamb? […]

When struggles are present Will I remember Your name? Do I focus on all that eludes Or trust with unwavering faith? When tears are shed And fear rears its head, Do I foster those thoughts Or believe You instead? A little discomfort may be good for the soul To make me think and help me […]

Many times it’s come to mind… “Your tears are o.k. here” he said, so kind. I’m always afraid to let them fall to allow these feelings which are so raw. I have permission to just be myself insecurity and weakness revealed, no doubt. To become that vulnerable and stripped of my pride it frightens and […]
