    Lord Be Gracious To Us We Long For You ( Isaiah 33 )

    Be Our Strength Every Morning, When the people were having rough times and much was going wrong, they turn to God and make a plea to Him so they can get out of their miseries and live life more joyfully again. That is a good thing to rely on in every aspect of our lives. As we go through the...

    So Christ May Dwell In Your Hearts Through Faith ( Eph.3 )

    I Pray That You Are Rooted In Love, Paul is praying for the Ephesians as he is getting ready to depart. As always he gives the people in places he visits. It's sort of a rally cry of togetherness and peace in their work with each other. He wants them to come closer and not further apart. He...

    All Who Have This Hope In Him Purify Themselves ( 1John 3 )

    As He Is Pure, Sin is disobedience but Christ is there for our redemption. We need to continue to repent and come to Him to be cleansed. No one who continues to sin without checking their conscience will ever really know Him. It is necessary to grow spiritually, to sin less and to decreased...

    Yet You Lord Are Our Potter ( Isaiah8)

    We Are The Clay, God becomes the potter, we become the clay. He is the one who will mold us and fashion us so that we may become the work of His hands. In a way while at first the verse sounds a bit silly and unreasonable, but upon further reflection it is telling us that we are in His hands...

    So Then Just As Your Received Christ Jesus as Lord ( Col.2 )

    Be Rooted And Built Up In Him, In Jesus we have been brought to fullness and as we grow in Him and all the example He has given us, our hearts become more and more set in Him. In time, there is no place else for us to but to long for His total company. It seems that whatever we do or wherever...

    Heavenly Sensations

    As I walk these paths of endless dreams, My shadow plays against the flowers and trees. Mishapen images of days gone by, Juxtaposed against, A moonlit sky Upon the sand I reach out and take Your hand, And suddenly I understand, The visions of Your soul. Thoughts of You, Never make me blue...

    Humble Yourselves Therefore Under God's Mighty Hand ( 1Peter5 )

    That He May Lift You Up In His Time, So we should never exalt ourselves and present ourselves as more than we actually are. We should never boast because first of all, we have done nothing if not for God. That is not to say we cannot have confidence in our Lord. To continue to hear His...

    I Am The Lord And There Is No Other ( Isaiah 45 )

    Apart From Me There Is No God, Written for those times because many claimed to be gods. But even now, there are so many distractions away from our God and our Lord Jesus Christ. We don't need to dabble in other places for other ideas, because we have the one and only true God. It seems...

    His Divine Power Has Given Us All We Need For A Godly Life ( 2 peter 1)

    Grace And Peace Be Yours In Abundance, It seems Peter is always wanting us to live in holiness. And that of course is never a bad thing. Our faith has to grow continually. If we ever stumble, we should go back and start over. It is really easy to go astray and start doing things which are...

    May We Always Love Our Neighbor

    Love does not look with the eyes Love senses with the heart It's sort of like the wind You can feel it but you can't see it We don't love because someone is perfect We love their imperfections with the perfect Heart that God has given us.

    Every Good And Perfect Gift Is From Above ( James 1:17 )

    Coming From The Father of Heavenly Lights, James goes on to say that we do not merely listen to the word but do what it says. As always through scripture we are encouraged to follow the path of Jesus so we can bring His love to the world. That everyone to the ends of the earth should hear the...

    By Calling This Covenant New ( Hebrews:8)

    He Has Made The Old One Obsolete, With the coming of Jesus, God created His new covenant which is our Lord Jesus Christ. The new law becomes Jesus and becomes the only law. As scripture says, love fulfils all the law. This is very hard for the majority of Christians to wrap their minds...

    His Mercy completely blows away the dirt.

    Well written and expressed with great honesty. Regardless of where we are in our lives, we can always get better with Christ. He is always wit us and those who would say "God abandoned me" are saying they abandoned Him. He gives us all His gifts but if we don't accept them then it is our...

    Life's Benches

    On a bench, under a tree, A song to sing, A dream to dream. Children's voices in the park, A chirp, a peep, a baby lark. Hovering above Hopping below, Life is full, Where true love flows. The air is still, Thoughts even stiller, A dead leaf falls, And breaks the silence. Hills dipping...

    We Are God's Temple ( 1Cor.3 )

    God's Spirit Dwells In Our Midst , If we aren't moved deeply by the Spirit of God, we are missing much of the message of Jesus. The Spirit and the flesh cannot coexist. If we are in the Spirit, the flesh needs to be non existent to us. In my experience from what I have witnessed, people want...
