From Matthew 5:6: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”
Just as Jesus teaches
Praying to Father above
Asking in humbleness
Relationship filled with love
Blessed are those who hunger
Seeking truth’s fulfilling hope
Thirsting for righteousness
Father tightens up faith’s rope
Patience shall be required
Waiting for Father’s reply
Following Spirit’s light
View from eagle’s wings on high
Perseverance in prayer
Knocking on heavenly door
Searching for life’s answers
Father fills faith’s inner core
From Luke 11:9-10: “So I say to you, Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.”

No journey is complete that does not lead through some dark valleys. We can properly comfort others only with the comfort wherewith we ourselves have been comforted of God.
From Matthew 5:4: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”
Vance Havner (1901-1986) was an American pastor and Christian author. During his many years of service to the Lord, he preached throughout America.

When we are comfortable to see where a given ability will take us, may we compete within ourselves instead of with others.

Sower scattering any seed
Wildly without any foresight
God scatters His Word as planned
His aim, truthful in its flight
Called to sow His righteous seeds
Following a living light
Sharing of God’s Holy Word
Walking in Jesus’ delight
These efforts shall bear His fruit
Quenching the rich, fertile ground
God adds the living water
Patient, His trust to be found
Not every seed shall bloom now
Some will lie quiet and wait
Just as a pine cone pauses
Holds seeds for their proper fate
Spreading God’s Word to others
Using our freedom for good
Allowing Spirit to work
Sowing for Him as we should
Sharing love and forgiveness
Lord’s eternal Word aligned
Taking blessed, scattered seeds
Harvesting fruit of all kinds
From Isaiah 55:10-11: “For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return there until they have watered the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and succeed in the thing for which I sent it.”

When we extend kindness to anyone whom we meet, we are scattering a bit of God’s grace. May others gather a seed and sow it with God’s love.
