How good is grief for our growth It makes us travel certain roads Down difficult paths we would never venture If not forced to, by such displeasure. Grief refines us, makes us grow It begs us to seek Him and search our souls Such levels of intimacy with the Lord Can never be taught, or […]

Father God, I wish to be so close I can feel your breathe upon my face That your heart may beat in time to mine And I get lost within your gaze. I wish to be so close That your whisper is all I hear Cradle me within your arms Shelter me from fear. I […]

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 […]

I may fear, but will not fail To win this fight that is so real. I will soar although, I crawl Can’t keep me down though, I may fall. My reward is heaven bound Real treasure here is never found. Give me comfort, give me peace Help me Jesus, help me please!

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 […]
