Everlasting Love

From Proverbs 3:1-2: “My child, do not forget My teaching, but let your heart keep My commandments, for length of days and years of life and abundant welfare they will give you.”

Worshipping Father daily
Heart’s loyalty never meek
Witnessed through Christ’s faithfulness
Praising every truth He speaks

Embracing Father’s teachings
Righteousness fills Spirit’s flight
Commandments rise from Christ’s rock
Living through Word’s constant light

Tasting Father’s fruitful grace
Good Shepherd’s daily check-in
Each fiber of Spirit breathes
Nourishing goodness within

Trusting in Father’s wisdom
Spirit’s refreshment appears
Witness being one in Christ
Understanding always clear

Rising tides of Father’s peace
Filled with everlasting love
All chains of darkness vanquished
Knowing Christ resides above

From Proverbs 3:19-20: “The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding He established the heavens; by His knowledge the deeps broke open, and the clouds drop down the dew.”

Master of creation’s universe

Father’s love, boundless and enduring

Defying mankind’s understanding

Endless waterfall, reassuring

God’s lasting presence covers this earth

Filled with unending mercy and care

Sharing His love, bringing us gladness

Hearing concerns, answering prayers

Our world rotates between night and day

Yet, God never ceases His labors

Cherishing us, sheep in His pasture

Caring and loving us—as neighbors

God’s eternal and lasting love flows

Filling every second with love

His steadfast love shall always prevail

Sharing His love from heaven above

From the words of Christian writer, Corrie ten Boom: “There is no pit so deep that God’s love is not deeper still.”

Everlasting Joy

Posted on October 8, 2025 by bigskybuckeye

From Genesis 1:1-3: “When God began to create the heavens and the earth, the earth was complete chaos, and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. Then God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.”

Early morning giants

Creator in its midst

Forest landscape stirring

His breath offers assist

Glorious sky blossoms

Creator brightens light

Sunrise worships with praise

Night’s glory taking flight

Vision of what He wants

Creator wakens rain

Parched wilderness transformed

Gratitude fills each vein

Salvation always near

Creator sharing grace

Gentle waters flowing

Life reborn in this place

Heavenly eyes look down

Creator turns new page

Everlasting joy sings

Nature’s gifts come of age

From Genesis 2:1-3: “Thus the heavens and the earth were finished and all their multitude. On the sixth day God finished the work that He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all the work that He had done. So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all the work that He had done in creation.

Charles Stanley Quote

The Lord’s immutable nature is the foundation of our faith.

From Hebrews 1:10-12: “In the beginning, Lord, You founded the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands;they will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like clothing;like a cloak You will roll them up, and like clothing they will be changed. But You are the same, and Your years will never end.”

Though we don’t always know what God is doing, we can always rely on who He is.

From Lamentations 3:22-23: “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”

Monday Memories: Forevermore

Standing and lifting eyes upward

Asking for help

But, from where will it come?

Reading from a cherished Bible

Finding the words

Of a patient and gracious Lord

Humbling images of God’s plan

Creating the heavens

As well as the earth

Feeling the grace of God

Providing shade

At one’s right hand

Sleeping is never His wish

Watching over

His people at every moment

Praying to a compassionate Lord

Listening now

His words bring comfort

Protecting us at all times

Witnessing Him

Forevermore

The background for this poem comes from the Bible; see Psalm 121.
