I think about you all the time;
What you look like, how you are
Where you are, and if
You think about me.
I look forward to the day we meet.
I dream about me being in
Your embrace, how our
Lips will care for one another, and
How we will travel the world together.
I may not know you yet, but
I can’t wait ’til we meet
And spend together forever…
My Lord holds my hand,
As I live through life.
I walk through a crowd of
Everything and everyone surrounding me.
Few are of delight, while others seem to frighten me.
I tremble, fearing how I may be snatched away;
Physically or emotionally.
All the while I forget my Lord is
Right beside me, holding my hand.
Surrounded by this crowd, which is the world,
I will never let go of my Lord’s hand.
I will always look to my Lord
So I may never be swept in the same direction,
And lost without a home.
I will never let go of my Lord’s hand.
“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me,is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.” John 10:27-29
Laying in the silence of the night,
My head on the pillow, and
My body covered in soft sheets;
The wind howling in the sky.
Thump-Thump-Thump…
My heart beats.
Not for you, but because of you.
Standing there, it suddenly becomes quiet.
The clock is ticking and I realize
Time never slows down, or stops.
As we take breaks, time does not.
As we procrastinate, time does not.
As we are lazy, time is not.
As we are busy watching others…
Time goes on as we miss opportunities.
Tick tock says the clock.
What are you doing?
There is an emptiness that
Fills us once in a while.
We feel that something is missing,
But we don’t know what.
We began to crave what the
World views as “success”.
We began to want others to
Look at us, too.
We start to work
Harder and harder, just to
Be on top.
We over think,
We are unhappy,
We try to be like others,
And we become sad with
Our lives.
Don’t let this craving rule over you.
It is a dangerous crave.
When you began to feel
Empty and worthless,
Pray.
God will give you the power to be
Satisfied with your life, and the craving will go away.
It’s going to take time, but you will soon see
That you will have joy no matter what happens.
You will understand that
The craving was empty and not fulfilling.
And you will be glad that
You now crave a relationship with God,
Instead of unhappiness.
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be made known to God; and the peace which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Christ Jesus.” Phil. 4:6-7
It was a rainy day,
“I thought today would
Be a pretty day, I guess not.”, She said.
“It still is…”, I thought.
Rainy days are just as
Pretty as sunny days.
Hail falls from the sky
Like little jewels,
And rain falls like diamonds,
Rippling in the ponds of water.
The skies are shining like
Silver, bringing out the
Intense green of the pine trees,
And the grass shows color like a
Usual spring day. And the
Color of flowers are dull,
Yet brighter as the silver skies
make them pop with accent.
Rainy days may seem gloomy,
But you can choose to see them
As an usual sunny day.
Every morning, she awakes and
Puts on her mask.
She puts on nice clothes,
Makeup,
A smile, and gets into her
Nice car, and drives away.
People tell her she’s pretty
Or beautiful quite often.
She smiles and says, “Thank you.”
Even her friends talk about
How gorgeous she is, and how they
Always see guys looking her way.
She just laughs it off.
At the end of the day,
She goes home and takes off her mask.
She removes the makeup,
Puts on a t-shirt and sweats,
And her smile becomes a frown.
She thinks about the compliments
She’s gotten today.
On the outside she seemed to
Be confident and secure;
But she was really self-conscience
And thinking “Yeah, right. I’m not pretty.”
She stares in the mirror,
Remembering how she used to
Be an insecure girl.
Now, she smiles and she knows
God created her beautifully.
“I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.” Psalm 139:14
We crave everything in the world. We want fame, love, money, houses, cars, friends, and more. When we finally have all of those things, we ask ourselves, “I have everything…but why do I still feel empty?”
“And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?” Mark 8:36
You should watch what you say,
And think before you speak.
What you say has an
Impact on your life, and other’s.
What you say about someone,
Or even yourself, could possibly
Come true.
You may say, “I was just joking.”,
Well…the enemy wasn’t.
“The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.” Proverbs 18:21
The sound of your laptop running,
The sound of the clock ticking,
The sound of the faucet dripping,
The sound of your eyes blinking,
The sound of your heart beating,
The sound of breathing,
The sound of living…
