When the sovereign God brings us to nothing, it is to reroute our lives.  Now’s the time to start anew.

From Psalm 37:23-24:  “Our steps are made firm by the Lord when He delights in our way; though we stumble, we shall not fall headlong, for the Lord holds us by the hand.”

Charles Swindoll (born 1934) is an American pastor and Christian author.

Faithful Persistence

More shadows of silence

Light hidden at high tide

Overlapped with mystery

Waiting, tomorrow’s blindside

 

Each unique human trait

Some filled with brilliant light

Others covered in darkness

One choice strengthens in flight

 

Embers from steadfast light

Arriving at low tide

Covered with hope’s lasting peace

No longer with saddened eyes

 

Today’s filtering voice

Gentleness coming forth

Praises all filled with goodness

Compass treasures light’s true north

 

Tomorrow’s joy arrives

Without any delay

Time’s faithful persistence

Welcomed light of grace now stays

If you are going down a road and don’t like what’s in front of you, and look behind you and don’t like what you see, get off the road.  Create a new path!

If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.

Maya Angelou (1928-2014) was an American author, poet, and civil rights activist.  Her body of published work is found in autobiographies, essays, poems, and numerous credits in plays, movies, and television shows.

Unconditional, none greater

Father’s steadfast and faithful love

He witnesses each human stain

Yet, His grace forgives from above

 

Eternity’s river of hope

Father’s truth expressed through His love

Heavenly spirit’s mercy flows

Righteousness descends from above

 

Enemy’s darkness now shattered

Father’s peace illuminates love

Patience always slow to anger

Angelic praises from above

 

Judgment left to His caring hands

Father’s vision expresses love

Invites man’s actions of kindness

Sunrise always leads from above

 

Truth sown from greatest commandment

Father looks inward at man’s love

Shared with every generation

Joy destined to praise from above
