On your journey toward God
as your faith falters
you will stumble and fall
but when you cry out for help
remembering
to whom and where
you are going
His hand will always be there
to pull you out of your sorrow
and confusion
reminding you not to fear
for His hand was
is and always will be there
to draw you near
if only you are willing

To align your will with God’s
to submit to His plan
to surrender to His love
this is the proper use of the will
in this you will find peace
in this you will find joy
in this you will find abundance
this is His greatest desire for you
to experience His blessings
to experience His love
to experience eternity with Him
this is your destiny
if you accept it

The Lord always
gives me what I need
He has a plan
beyond my desires
and understanding
may I trust
in His ways
in His time
and His love
for He has never failed
faltered or forsaken me
not even once
may I be faithful
to His faithfulness
forever
FAITHFUL TO FAITHFULNESS

In my denial of Christ
restlessness
irritability
and discontentment
consumed me
an insatiable soul
tortured me
sin and suffering
overcame me
an unquenchable thirst
tormented me
but all of my efforts
were pointless and empty
like a drop of rain
on barren desert sands
a living Hell
Lord may I never
deny you again

We all know God
He is in the ray of sunshine
that gives us pause
as it peaks through the clouds
in the flower’s perfume
that makes us smile
as we walk by
in a child’s laugh
that draws the same out of us
as it catches our ear
in these fleeting glimpses
we see Him seeing us
we hear Him hearing us
we feel Him reaching out to us
and in these moments
in His love for us
He gives us a choice
to can either turn to face Him
or deny Him and turn away
WE ALL KNOW GOD
