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

This "Christ"mas...

"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,  Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." Luke 2:8-14 (NKJ) As "Christ"mas approaches it usually finds me refreshing my knowledge and understanding of what I believe that it is that we as "Christ"ians should be celebrating in our observation of the event of Christ's birth. I do this in ...

If I Worry At All...

For the last year I've been engaged in a writing project that requires me to answer a series of questions posed over the fifty two weeks of the year. My answer to the last question that I chose to answer is one that I decided to share because it's always on my heart and mind... What do you worry about? I know that worrying itself changes nothing but there are some things that cause me deep worry. And of those particular things, there are none that I have the power to change on my own, but they are instead those that I have to appeal to Christ’s mercy to intercede. I have deep worry for the souls of all of my loved ones because I know that despite all that we might find concern for in our passing through of this world, there’s only one account that will, for all time, require an answer from all of us. That response, having already been made while we journeyed here, will leave us without further opportunity to answer. Our choice, made in this current life, will leave us either pr...

An Observance And Observing True Reality...

As Easter approaches, I begin once again considering how our God sees our observance of an occasion as I always do and also what He might truly desire of us in observance above any of our trivial, man inspired traditions . What I come away with in firm conviction is the understanding that the most trivial of my sins, the least of my crimes against God, had the power to forever damn me in His judgment of me and send me into unending torment. And that knowing this one thing in truth and as reality, is key to my correct posture before God in honor of His purpose in the event. That key being the horror of knowing that the price of my very least sin was the shedding of my Christ Jesus' blood and His horrible suffering, because the reality of this brings the deep rending of my heart in awe and gratitude and it makes possible my true joy at the relief of my sentence because of what He has done. I believe this is a part of what God would desire from us in observance of Christ's death a...
