Nothing

Nothing

Nothing,
Such a concise word
In my heart and mind
within me does it stir
a feeling of emptiness,
Of beauty, warmth, wholeness
Completely do I now feel disinclined

Until I look upward
Toward Your heaven
And I receive this new impression
Glancing ever more boldly
Sensing that to me you are trying
To teach a new lesson

Then
I hear from your own lips
That word
‘Nothing’
God, You begin to speak

Nothing
On my beautiful
Green planet
Will satisfy you completely
Within these words
Fully do I hope you will believe me

No amount of money,
Power, sex, fame or any other pleasure
Please, please do not make
Of any of these such a tremendous
Overwhelming Treasure
You were not designed
To be made whole, complete
With any of such as these

Only within me, Your loving Father God
Were you made to fill complete and filled
All those others are only cheaper, temporary thrills
So
Nothing
I repeat
Nothing
Except My Loving Presence
Will ever meet the needs and
Complete your spirit’s holy, core essence!

The Tear

The Tear

Don't cry, Lord Jesus
Why that tear?
Does a sorrow to you
Draw too near?
I lay my cheek upon your hand
As flowers around my head
Do blend
Let me love you
Oh my God, my dear

You lift the crystal fluid
Off your cheek
Wait a moment
Before you speak
It is not for sorrow
That my eyes do weep
But for pure joy, beloved child
That in eternity I now
May you forever keep!

John 15:11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.

H3brews 12:2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

God wants to give us peace found within His presence and trust in Him. He never intended this world and life to be this painful for us. So I hope you can draw closer to Him and find that peace and serenity He really wants to give you. Praise God! Here is a link to this video also on my You Tube channel: https://youtu.be/I9W8FkjzTSA

Serenity

Serenity
Whispers in the breeze
Enveloping
Like a warm blanket
Pleasantly around me
In crystals of bright sunlight
Or in darker shadows cast
Here in the now and the future
Or sleeping enshrined
Within my past!

Feeling Blue?

Saw these pretty blue wildflowers on my early morning bike ride along our greenway system which runs along the river. Don’t know what kind they are but enjoyed them anyway. May you have a blessed day and Praise God for His goodness, grace, mercy, compassion and forgiveness!


Feeling Blue?

Life feeling down, ever so blue?
So do the only really
smart thing to do
Turn to that Son
Of your best life
The only source
Of course, of course

On a cross hung
Just to put a destructive
satan on the run
Our eternal souls to save
So we within infinity's gates
No longer will ever have
Even one more bluest of days!

Thank You

Thank You!

Thank you
For wanting the
Destitute and the Desperate
From the homeless beggers
And hungry orphans on the streets
And trafficed children
Lying at their rapist's feet
From the Unloved child
In the womb
About to be aborted
In a cold, hard, sterile room
All of these Lord Jesus
You love, want passionately
And died for
Shouldn't we also?
