What I Believe
October 5, 2012
It’s a look of love
I know what the face of love is
I accept the peace He gives
My faith is in Him
I grew up in darkness
A light came cloaked in kindness
Gentleness and love
I looked in the face of God
In the face of mother love
My father emotionally-handicapped
The God of all love
Sent grandmothers and neighbors
And His angels to attend
I love to tell His story
Light comes in darkness
The fire of joy can be lit
The human soul is restored
I rejoice in His friendship
This friend gave His life for me
There’s no one like Him
The loud voice of fear
Hidden behind guilt and shame
Must be brought into the light
I’ll watch when the door opens
Be ready to give
Make the mysterious love
Plain to those who are seeking
With patience and loving care
Crowned with forgiveness
Wisdom Available
October 4, 2012
To find the treasure
Ear – listen for wisdom
Eye – search with great intent
Heart – apply the understanding
~
Then you’ll understand
What it means to revere God
Gain knowledge of God
You’ll discover the wisdom
Embrace the insights
You’re my shield, O God
Your righteousness – my protector
I walk in your peace
Your promises restore me
Your Divine Power saves me
Psalm 7:10
I will trust in you
With all my heart I seek you
It’s you I believe
You have never forsaken
Those who seek with all their heart
Psalm 9: 9,10
Is there room for God
Pride can fill up the heart
Lust will poison it
Greed causes one to act out
These three things bring great destruction
God helps the fatherless ones
Breaks the arm of the wicked
The Lord is King forever
You rule with mercy
Proverbs 2; Psalms 6-10;
Jesus Calling by Sarah Young
Command Joy
October 2, 2012
There is a way to command joy
A truth I learned through the years
It will take your best thinking
Learned through suffering
Thoughtful reflections
When there seems to be no hope
The cry of desperation
Of a child who’s all alone
Is heard in the darkest hour
There is energy
Available to those who ask
It is joy for life
~
Over thirty years ago, Landon Saunders spoke to me about the fact that “you can command joy.” It is true. We visited again this past weekend, and he spoke that it is not something you will get to “someday”, but it is an “energy” you can access in the now. Think with me about it this month.
During the month of October, I invite you to read and reflect with me through Psalms and Proverbs. Over the years, Psalms has been my mother and Proverbs has been my father. They gave me language for my pain, hope for my future and joy for my present. I read through them every month, and find something new every time.
