True Motives
From Proverbs 21:2: “All deeds are right in the sight of the doer, but the Lord weighs the heart.”
World around us
Views outer selves
Not always true
God sees ourselves
Examines hearts
What’s false, what’s true
Peeling away
Each beating clue
Colleagues at work
Neighbors and friends
Hold opinions
Not through God’s lens
God’s view prevails
Noting actions
Mindful of thoughts
Weighs each fraction
Most important
True motives say
Pure intentions
Every day
From the words of American Christian author, John Eldredge: “If the narrative of the Scriptures teaches us anything, from the serpent in the Garden to the carpenter in Nazareth, it teaches us that things are rarely what they seem, that we shouldn’t be fooled by appearances.”
Corrie ten Boom Quote

Many Christians today are trying to find a shortcut to a closer relationship with the Father. But intimacy takes times and effort; knowing God better is a lifelong pursuit.
From Psalm 63:5-7: “My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast, and my mouth praises you with joyful lips when I think of you on my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy.”
Love Ignites Us
From 1 John 4:6: “We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us, and whoever is not from God does not listen to us. From this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.”
Scanning heavens above
Creation’s North Star glows
Lighting vast galaxies
Love ignites us to grow
God’s love shines among us
Brighter than any star
Abiding in each child
Overcoming life’s scars
Father’s love leading us
Peace and justice shall reign
Fearlessly, tirelessly
Healing hearts without pain
Christ sent by His Father
God comes to earth as Man
Spirit walking with grace
Love ignites us, Lord’s plan
From 1 John 4:18-19: “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love. We love because He first loved us.”
Corrie ten Boom Quote
There is no pit so deep that God’s love is not deeper still.
From Psalm 100:4-5: “Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name. For the Lord is good; His steadfast love endures forever, and His faithfulness to all generations.”
Glory in Creation
From Psalm 19:14: “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”
Lofty heavens proclaiming
