Filling every day with praises

Praying daily, words of gratitude

Hailing heavenly Father’s mercy

Fueling our continued fortitude

 

Declaring steadfast love of Father

Remembering lasting faithfulness

Thanking Him for eternal goodness

Rescuing from evil’s dark abscess

 

Hearing angelic music above

Singing with steady, heartfelt voices

Trusting Father’s spiritual message

Inspiring life with better choices

 

Proclaiming with praise and gratitude

Flourishing with Father’s thanksgiving

Producing blessed fruit in His name

Pointing toward Calvary, forgiving

 

Refreshing moment with our Father

Trumpeting His everlasting name

Scaling summit of faith’s righteous rock

Lighting up grace, heaven’s brightest flame

Our ultimate aim in life is not to be healthy, wealthy, prosperous, or problem free.  Our ultimate aim in life is to bring glory to God.

From Psalm 86:12:  “I give thanks to You, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify Your name forever.”

Peace comes not from the absence of trouble, but from the presence of God.

From John 14:27:  “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.  I do not give to you as the world gives.  Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.”

Broken and waiting

Stumble, now falling

Mankind blind and lost

Grace always calling

 

Spirit picks us up

Reach for Father’s hand

Love fills empty cup

Vision clears as planned

 

Ask God our questions

Read Bible’s story

Taste Scripture’s account

Witness His glory

 

Lift eyes up high

Breathe in heaven’s love

God’s promises fly

Goodness from above

 

Wait for our Father

Hold tight to faith’s hand

His hope comes on board

Salvation’s steel band

All whom God uses greatly are first hidden in the secret of His presence, away from the pride of man.

From Psalm 27:14:  “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!”

God can no more leave a life unchanged than a mother can leave her child’s tears untouched.

From Ephesians 1:17-18:  “I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know Him, so that, with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may know what is the hope to which He has called you, what are the riches of His glorious inheritance among the saints.”

Monday Memories: Love Fills a Heart

From 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, 13:  “Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude.  It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth.  It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.  And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.”

Struggling with life, feeling lost

Dark wilderness all around

Thirsting for someone to come

Waiting, hoping to be found

 

Love arrives from a white knight

Riding through the timberland

Accepting me as I am

Reaching out, touching my hand

 

Hearing my cries, God provides

This honorable knight stands

Sealing my heart with his love

Hour glass fills with precious sand

 

Life can feel like a desert

Leaving only loneliness

Faithful light comes to delight

Shining from God’s holiness

 

Two lives shall become just one

Uniting through a Holy Lord

Happiness now fills a home

Love singing a blissful chord

Accidents, poor health

Seeking God’s divine grace

His healing power

 

Come to gracious Father

Binding up these wounds

Through abundant mercy

Life restored again

 

Road of recovery

God strengthens, blesses

Built upon living Word

Peace offers comfort

 

Healing brokenhearted

Buoyant life returns

Praise Father’s compassion

Trust His mighty hand

 

Life filled with confidence

Praying back to God

Thankfulness to Father

His mercies abound
