My God And My Love

My Lord, my words fail my heart, for I cannot speak the love that I
feel for my God, as I am humbled beyond words by your mercy

My Heavenly Father, your grace leaves me without fear, as a cloud
carelessly floating on the breeze beneath the warm sun

Your tender hand gently dries my tears, yet is faithful to guide my
way and correct my path when my feet would stray

Your heart warms me like the glow of a crackling fire on the hearth
of my own when the world beyond is dark and cold

Your voice is the music that sets my heart to dance with the sparkle
and innocence of a child in the freedom of youth

It is your faithful provision that satisfies my need and grows my
faith in the unending love of my doting Father

The shadow of your presence gives me shelter and light to grow
strong in a world that grows dark and cold around me

My Lord Jesus, in you is my only hope to live, for you paid
the price for my sin by your death and gave me life

You bore my shame by the stripes on your flesh and suffered
the humiliation that was my due for my failure

When it was finished and you rose, as I could not from my death,
you comfort me still and call me your friend

Gracious Holy Spirit, your wisdom guides my decision and your
understanding gives life to my knowledge

Your voice speaks the words of my Father to my heart and makes
me know Him when I long for His presence

Your presence gives holy life to my spirit and guides my soul
gently to the waiting heart of my Father

My Lord, the One who brings these things to me in love, I will forever
declare, that you are my God, and my love

Where Truth Is Found...

"He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he would ever reach heaven; for everyone has need to be forgiven." - George Herbert, British Poet 1593 - 1633 The above is a true statement and one could give credit to George Herbert for his wisdom in that saying, but the truth and wisdom found in those words did not originate with him. They originated with The Author of truth and wisdom - The Judge of the universe... “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Matthew 6:14-15 (NKJ) ...Christ Jesus. With deception being a tool of the enemy   and being spread  widely with the help of mankind these days, it's a struggle for some to recognize what the truth really is. It's good for us who follow Christ to remember that whatever we might think or reason with ourselves to be true, our opinion c...

Fear not.

There's a lot going on in the world and a lot available to provoke fear for the future, but I have a question for anyone who might feel themselves tempted to fear - If you truly know God, does He ever change? “I am the LORD, and I do not change. That is why you descendants of Jacob are not already destroyed." Malachi 3:6 (NLT) We stand reinforced in our understanding and belief that He does not change, so... "The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me.  I will protect those who trust in my name.  When they call on me, I will answer;  I will be with them in trouble.  I will rescue and honor them.  I will reward them with a long life  and give them my salvation.” Psalm 91:14-16 (NLT) I know that I said that I had "a" question, but I actually have another - do you really, truly love Him? “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heave...

God Blesses Those...

"And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:... " Matthew 5:1&2 (NKJ) In the 5th chapter of the book of Matthew, we find Jesus teaching His disciples. What He taught them there is often referred to as the Sermon on the mount. And within that teaching are a number statements that are commonly referred to as The Beatitudes. I humbly suggest that whoever it was that coined that term might have been more accurate and to the point if they had called them  The " BE-  Attitudes" since Jesus was in fact telling His disciples both then and now, about the spirit of how to "be". “Blessed are the poor in spirit,  For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn,  For they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek,  For they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,  For they shall be filled. Blessed a...
