There is but one good; that is God. Everything else is good when it looks to Him and bad when it turns from Him.
From Psalm 112:7: “They are not afraid of evil tidings; their hearts are firm, secure in the Lord.”
Heavenly Tranquility
The inspiration for this poem comes from a recent post from Leola who is an inspiring Christian writer and photographer. Please visit her “Road Trip to Montreal” by way of the link below. I thank her so much for allowing me to match her garden photography with my poetic words.

Life sometimes motors along much too fast
Leaving us hungry for something that lasts
A journey to a big city, feeling so alone
Thinking I should have stayed at home
I am not used to being in the big city, yes
Realizing my Lord has put me to this test
The final morning arrives, thank goodness
Dreaming of any place, filled with fullness
My morning walk takes me to a hidden place
Parking itself near a stadium, comes a taste
A botanical garden erupts with vibrant color
Blossoming the landscape, like none other
Colors of every imaginable shade and hue
Beholding God’s brilliance, eternally true
My eyes capture incredible memories that last
Experiencing heavenly tranquility, what a blast
God brought me here today for a special reason
Planning to share His love, no matter the season

A tried Christian grows rich by his loses, he rises by his falls, he lives by dying, and he becomes full by being emptied.
From James 1:2-4: “My brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance; and let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing.”

God takes us through struggles and difficulties so that we might become increasingly more committed to Him.
From 1 Peter 4:12-13: “Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that is taking place among you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you are sharing Christ’s sufferings, so that you may also be glad and shout for joy when His glory is revealed.”

Worry and anxiety are sand in the machinery of life; faith is the oil.

Most of us follow our conscience as we follow a wheelbarrow. We push it in front of us in the direction we want to go.

Christ is no Moses, no exactor, no giver of laws, but a giver of grace, a Savior; He is infinite mercy and goodness, freely and bountifully given to us.

If you try to be everything to everybody, you will end up being nothing to anybody.
