• Acting Faithfully

  Faith is not
  a decision made once
  but a decision
  to be renewed daily
  in every moment
  and every action
  through our works
  we prove our faith
  not to earn grace
  which is gifted by God alone
  but to affirm the grace
  we have recieved
  lest we forget our good fortune
  in being so mercifully saved
  from a life of sin and torment

• So Much More

  The comfort
  of familiarity
  tempts us to remain
  as we once were
  to cling to what was
  to embrace the bondage
  of what we know
  and to settle
  for less than what God
  would have for us
  but he wants so much more
  for us

• Awaiting My Return

  At the end of the road
  with nowhere else to turn
  I turn to you
  and there you are
  waiting for me with open arms
  welcoming me home
  without judgement
  without hesitation
  without question
  rejoicing in my return
  as if my wanting you
  is all you ever wanted
