Monday Memories: Love Never Dims

From Ecclesiastes 3:1: “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.”

Winter’s snow, cannot hide

Cherished love, deep inside

During darkness of night

Her love shines, always bright

 

Spring’s blossoms, love shares

Life’s newness, always cares

Nature wakens, each land

Her splendor, in God’s hands

 

Summer’s glowing spirit

Longing to walk near it

Love growing, day by day

Her grandeur comes this way

 

Autumn’s colored venue

Love fills each day’s menu

Landscape treasures each thrill

Her warmth hides winter’s chill

 

Seasons, patient with time

Faith grows, ever in rhyme

Righteous gifts, sing as hymns

Father’s love, never dims

From Lamentations 3:22-24:  “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.  ‘The Lord is my portion,’ says my soul, ‘therefore I will hope in Him.'”

Wendell Berry Quote

Photo by Tatiana Syrikova on Pexels.com

Outdoors we are confronted everywhere with wonders.  It is our daily bread.

From Psalm 19:-2:  “The heavens are telling the glory of God, and the firmament proclaims His handiwork.  Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge.”

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.

 

His Holy Presence

From Isaiah 58:2:  “Yet day after day they seek Me and delight to know My ways, as if they were a nation that practiced righteousness and did not forsake the ordinance of their God; they ask of Me righteous judgments; they want God on their side.”

With every sunrise

Seeking to know God’s ways

Beholding His righteousness

Drawing closer to Him each day

 

Until setting sun

Tasting God’s living bread

Sharing His grace with others

Sewing faith’s fabric with each thread

 

Throughout each night

Knowing God always near

Mercy rises in darkness

Trusting as His love always steers

 

Early dawn wakens

Fulfilling God’s glory

Witnessing His blessed light

Writing faith’s renewing story

 

Sabbath brings delight

Reading God’s divine Word

Praising His Holy presence

Finding peace with everything heard

From Isaiah 58:9:  “Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry for help, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’

A. W. Pink Quote

Christ is the key which unlocks the golden doors into the temple of Divine truth.

From John 10:7-9:  “So again Jesus said to them, ‘Very truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who came before Me are thieves and bandits, but the sheep did not listen to them.  I am the gate. Whoever enters by Me will be saved and will come in and go out and find pasture.'”

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.
