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

I know I can’t do a thing to earn my salvation; but now that I am His, I will do everything in my power to show Him how much I love Him–and I live to please the One I love who has transformed me with His love.

From Ephesians 4:21-24: “For surely you have heard about Him and were taught in Him, as truth is in Jesus, to put away your former way of life, your old self, corrupt and deluded by its lusts, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to clothe yourselves with the new self, created according to the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.”

Katherine Walden is an American Christian writer.

From John 3:14-17:  “And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him may have eternal life.  For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish but may have eternal life.  Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him.”

Holy God of Abraham and Sarah

His Tree of Life blesses generations

Throughout Creation’s awesome certainty

Into Christ’s death, reborn as new nations

 

When rising with each new, precious morning

Blessed by our Father’s love, mercy, and grace

Witnessing His divine truth, now spoken

Passing on to each act and word we place

 

Walking as His body, the Son of Man

Sanctified through His sacrificial blood

Christ leads, encouraging all to follow

Life streaming to pristine sea, free of mud

 

Broken lives, breathing as imperfections

Life’s daily missteps, forever stumbling

Christ’s forgiveness showers each soul with love

Pardoning sinners, no longer tumbling

 

Grace-filled Holy Spirit moves within us

Offering necessary strength and hope

Fueling deep faith, God’s awesome certainty

Go forth, blessed and ready, walk life’s tightrope

Our loving God is not just present, but nearer than the thought can imagine–so near that a whisper can reach Him.

From John 16:13: “When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth, for He will not speak on His own but will speak whatever He hears, and He will declare to you the things that are to come.”

From Psalm 88:1-2:  “O Lord, God of my salvation, when, at night, I cry out in your presence, let my prayer come before you; incline your ear to my cry.”

Cold stillness greets early morning air

Dressed in armor’s extra warm layers

Pre-dawn speaks with inviting brightness

Heavenly Father answers prayers

 

Heart’s emptiness filled with sorrow’s grief

Walking life’s open road with brisk pace

Precious moments with Father’s goodness

He stands ready at this time and place

 

Frigid frost slaps rosy cheeks and nose

Step after step, life moving along

Chill penetrates through extra clothing

Heart needs comfort, love from Heaven’s song

 

Absent clouds replaced with brightest sun

God’s advent warms both body and soul

Speaking with loving mercy and grace

Father softens pain from rocky shoal

 

Walk’s intensity traded for peace

Warmness and hope, alive and feeding

Life’s burdens lightened with God’s blessings

Sharing much more, His presence leading

From Jeremiah 20:7: “O Lord, You have enticed me, and I was enticed; You have overpowered me, and You have prevailed.”

Rising every morning
Praising Father above
Heart overflowing with grace
Embracing His righteous love

Overpowering truth
Receiving Father’s Word
Faith trusting in every verse
Seeing heavens’ light transferred

Clutching hope with each test
Disbursing Father’s peace
Enemy’s footprint erased
Prevailing darkness shall cease

Witnessing newborn child
Breathing with Father’s joy
Savior Jesus brings Good News
Rising, His mercy deploys

Most Wondrous Love

From Luke 18:31-34: “Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, ‘Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished. For He will be handed over to the gentiles, and He will be mocked and insulted and spat upon. After they have flogged Him, they will kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.’ But they understood nothing about all these things; in fact, what He said was hidden from them, and they did not grasp what was said.”

Only God above
Could design this script
Most wondrous love
Salvation’s light

Son of Man descends
Life among Gentiles
God’s love extends
Redemption’s flight

God shapes faith’s outcome
Through Christ’s crushed body
Truth’s kingdom comes
Fulfillment breathes

Tomorrow’s new hope
Inscribed on Christ’s heart
Viewed through God’s scope
Ultimate joy

God’s glorious plan
Covenant’s fresh voice
Debts paid for man
Christ sheds His blood

Most wondrous love glows
From heavenly seas
God’s peace shall flow
Purpose defined
