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...

Beware Of Available Poison

"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world." 1 John 4:1 (NKJV) At the risk of sounding like the proverbial broken record, I can't help feeling the urge to repeat a common theme of a number of my previous posts. I feel driven to repeat it especially in these last days when the continually changing circumstances around us may leave us searching for the low hanging fruit of easy comfort in words that may tend to soothe us, but lack the proper context that they were intended by God to be carried in.. What I say here is more intended toward those that have not exercised diligence in consuming for themselves what the Lord has given us in scripture, scripture that has the ability to bless us in so many ways when rendered as The Author intended. Not the least of these is the ability to spot inaccurate, and even boldly spoken, false teachings of the day. Keep in mind that the enemy...
