I asked for riches that I might be happy; I was given Christ that I might be rich. I asked for healing that I might be in control; I was allowed to suffer that I might surrender. I asked for independence that I might do my own will; I was given free will that I […]

The truth you did not want to hear Though you acted most sincere You coaxed and claimed it was safe You pledged acceptance – I showed my face! So, my story I did reveal Not all, but parts enough to seal The fate you chose to then bestow Upon my heart and my soul. Quick […]

To live as gently as I can; To be, no matter where, a man; To take what comes of good or ill And cling to faith and honor still; To do my best, and let that stand The record of my brain and hand; And then, should failure come to me, Still work and hope […]

The Bible is chucked full of so many verses which instruct us to give Him thanks and praise at ALL times, and yes my friends, that means even during times of suffering. God is good and never changing, which makes Him worthy of our praise no matter what and in every circumstance. Did I lose […]

Have you ever gone through times when you did not have very much of… well, anything? I am not speaking of those things that we do not need yet greedily seek, never being content with what we have. I am talking about just your basic necessities not being met. Have your struggles ever been so […]

I am so broken Falling apart A thousand pieces Strewn like art. In my weakest moments I cannot see Grief and despair Paint a canvas of pity. I may look a mess But I guarantee I have value and purpose The eye cannot see. It is easy to forget The Artist’s vision of me I’m […]

I have prayed for companionship And my life’s true love. I have been forever seeking For that special soul to love. An emptiness I have always felt That has longed to be fulfilled. Worldly treasures, earthly gain Could never satisfy the lonely pain. It has taken much to realize That the very one I sought, […]

If ever I grow weary With the weight of my load May I remember Jesus Who carried His cross alone. If ever I am fearful Of all that lay ahead May I remember Jesus Praying in the garden instead. If ever I am rejected By family, friend or foe May I remember Jesus He was […]

I am being abused and I wonder where He is. He is being whipped and nailed for sins He didn’t commit. I am sinful and worldly, will He accept me? He waits with forgiveness, I need only confess thee. I am angry and hateful, where could God be? He is seeing my faults, yet has […]

My child, I know your grief Your every burden I share; I know how you are tested Afflictions do not seem fair. At times you fear My indifference To all affecting thee; But know your pain and suffering Are of deep concern to Me. My child, I have a purpose In all that I allow; […]

I bowed my head and knelt to pray, “Lord, bless everyone on this fine day. Please help others to do your will Let them know your love is real. Please heal the sick, feed the poor Give comfort and peace, I beg, forlorn.” Then I rose to seize the day In this secular world, gone […]
