Righteous actions
Emerging with strength
God’s river of grace

Justice
Deserved, but
Kneeling before God
Cross bears every sin
Forgiveness
Darkness
Hope hidden
Hearing God’s voice
Rising over every valley
Light

It is very easy to overestimate the importance of our own achievements in comparison with what we owe others.
From 1 Peter 5:5-6: “And all of you must clothe yourselves with humility in your dealings with one another, for ‘God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.’ Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you in due time.”

Waking up early
Greeting from full moon
Dawn, few hours away
Harmony’s sweet tune
Stirring black coffee
Adding some sweetness
Careful, not too much
Gathering up thoughts
Transcribing each word
Quietness, dear friend
Each breath shares what’s heard
Capturing moments
Penning one more line
Steady, without pause
Searching mind’s landscape
Unlocking each view
Terrain, coming clear
Every prompted cue
Finish line ahead
Reaching for sunrise
Writing’s journey ends

At life’s crossroads

Righteousness speaks
Treasured wisdom
Hope climbs each peak
Finding knowledge
Straight from God’s voice
Divine wisdom
Cultivates choice
Advice offered
Directs each thought
Trusted wisdom
Faith’s lessons taught
Heaven comes down
Final grace waits
Savior’s wisdom
Calvary’s fate
