Every human heartbeat should be a silent refrain of thanksgiving to the God who created the heart and gives it life.
From Psalm 100:3: “Know that the Lord is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture.”

Under cover of night
Fullest moon, ever bright
Another day now waits
Nature’s splendid estate
Galaxy’s twinkling stars
Distant markers afar
Risen spirit above
Filled with Creator’s love
Each distant breath measures
Dreams filling with treasures
Scattered glimpse of wonder
Sudden sound of thunder
Heartbreak covers landscape
No avenue for escape
Yet, horizon brightens
Darkness set to lighten
Night sky growing smaller
Brilliant pallet’s colors
Clouds bowing to sunrise
Morning’s innocent eyes

When I rise up, let me rise up joyful like a bird. When I fall, let me fall without regret like a leaf.
The soil is the great connector of lives, the source and destination of all. It is the healer and restorer and resurrector.
Wendell Berry (born 1934) is an American novelist and poet. Much of his writing embraces the goodness of protecting our environment and preserving agriculture’s way of life.
From Joel 2:12-13: “Yet even now, says the Lord, return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; rend your hearts and not your clothing. Return to the Lord your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from punishment.”
Earth quakes, full of darkness
Wilderness surrounds thee
Wayward steps, no escape
Misplacing salvation’s key
Hope dwells in empty faith
Where is God’s gracious love?
Enemy’s fire burns bright
Obscuring Spirit above
Each transgression concealed
Yet, God views every one
Righteous breath covers land
Offering grace to outrun
Heart fills with repentance
Every sin be confessed
God’s forgiveness shall come
Redeeming faith’s final quest
Christ waits at Calvary
Hidden in faith’s Good News
Hope’s new pathway of peace
Offering love to infuse
From Proverbs 28:13: “No one who conceals transgressions will prosper, but one who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.”

Sincere repentance must be offered through one’s faith and trust in Jesus Christ before forgiveness will be granted.

Evangelical repentance is not at the beck and call of the creature. It is the gift of God.
From Romans 2:4: “Or do you despise the riches of His kindness and forbearance and patience? Do you not realize that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?”
Arthur Walkington (A. W.) Pink (1886-1952) was an English Bible teacher and Christian writer. Following his death, many of his writings were well-received by readers. This turnabout established him as an influential evangelical author.
Writing from one’s heart
Without artificial means—
Old-fashioned journey
Writing every day
Wide world always opens up—
Pen never runs dry
Writing notebook poised
Taking in morning’s first sip—
Empowers each thought
