Frontrunners

image

Praying for missionaries
Around the world

They are frontrunners
Of His call

Praying for their hearts
To be profoundly filled

By His lovingkindness

As they are in conditions
That zap the soul

Fellowship hard to find
As they reach other people groups
In outer limits

Refresh their heart
As a cool breeze

Giving life to rejuvenate others
Drawing them to the upper room
And fellowship with You

Transfiguring

image

My mind awhirl
With thoughts
Elucidating the whorl
God sought

His perspective
Desired
Being perceptive
Transpired

As I rested
In solitude
It cultivated zest
Reshaping my attitude

To gratitude

The burden not mine
To contend
Not to resign
But to transcend

The delights
Of relationship
As my life He rewrites
Redeeming it to equip

For transfiguring
Fellowship
Configuring
His Ownership

Assuredly Rest

image

Lord I look to You
To draw my strength
The doubts about myself
Overcome by You

To be humbled
Pride is disheveled
Trusting Your way
In all things everyday

The power You have
Brings honor and glory
To Your name
With great fame

Not despite who I am
But because of who I am

So I can assuredly rest
Displaying freedom
At its best

Blooming growth
As far as you can imagine
Bestowing beauty in Your grove

Walking closer
In unison
Fellowshiping with the Son

Abba Father
Your love and sacrifice
Given with a great price
Overwhelms my heart

Transforming me
To love beyond
To others
Where joy is the fruit
Greater than any happiness
Of this world

For You
Behold the King
His love forever overflowing

Love, Hope, Peace

image

My ear is positioned to the ground
Set to hear His voice
As He approaches my heart

Calming the storm
In my mind
Quieting the chaos inside

Fixating on His Truths
Aligning my thoughts
Obeying His laws

Dismissing my goals
Remembering He is good
Direction plotted one moment at a time

Following His precepts
His commands purifying
Flushing out my idols

Confessing
He cleanses
Clearing the ground

For He is Holy
My heart set to hear
Now with clarity

Listening to Him whisper
His Love for me
Illuminating His character

My fellowship with Him
Because of who He is
Love, Hope, Peace

Tizzy

image

Lord I get so busy
And in a tizzy

I go through the motions
Of doing devotions

Very structured
My day pressured

When do I just sit
Come close for fellowship

To ponder who you are
A person who imparts

The vastness of His gifts
All to display He exists

Revealing what is deep inside
Your strength supplied

Renewing the mind
No longer confined and blind

Grateful for You above all
For You enthrall

You captivate my heart
You are my counterpart

Completing my life
Sufficient with Christ

Fellowship

image

Sitting among
The women of God unsung
There is a focus to be gained
As each offer how He sustains

In their exposure
Losing composure
Offering brokenness
Courage standing in the doorway of openness

Honing our thoughts
Casting useless parts
The purifying process
Replacing false concepts

Grateful for fellowship
Building stewardship
Bringing to light
Their retained insight

Thankful to those women
On whose hearts He has written
Calling them to serve
As His Name is worshipped

Giver

image

We are designed
To have fellowship
With Him
Filling our innermost being
Satisfying that place deep
Within
Then as we move through
Our day
We can pour
Him
In those surrounding our space
As He moves through
Our empty vessel
Sharing His love overwhelming
Responding differently
To them than the world
Caring about their circumstances
And their heart
It is only through His power
That we can accomplish something so great
Are you that giver of life
Drawing from the depths
Of relationship with God?

Rise of Desires

image

I feel the rise
Of my desires
A first response to life
They want to climb
To first place
As running in a race
The emotions surge
Like the tides submerge
In my comprehension
I sense the tension
The demands call out
Wanting to knockout
What is above all things
My desire to please Him
Our relationship
Of just being in fellowship
Not for His presents
But for His presence
I reason with my desires
I must trust what He transpires
For He knows me intimately
Maturing me spiritually
For His kingdom
Is filled with wisdom
The tension is released
As my desires are at peace
Knowing there are pressures
Putting second things first
Holding on to His desire
For my life by Him to transpire
His Love is great
For His Sovereignty I wait

Quiet Morning

image

The quietness of this morning
Gives room for thoughts
To gather without performing

To just sit and marinate
What does God have in store
Reflecting on how to navigate

With His glory
Shining
All the more

I sit on a bench
But desire to stand and dance
Drinking His Water to quench

Sweeping away
My desires
So Him,  I can obey

Time with Him
Is above
All things

Even the blessings
He gives
Just grateful for His presence

In His arms resting
My thoughts
Stop wrestling

Our relationship
Blooming
With deep fellowship

Journey Inward

image

Silence is deafening to the ears
Thoughts begin to frolic through the years

The journey inward endured felt parched
Excavation reveals untold hearts

Reflective solitude intimate
Metamorphosis precipitates

Discovering the Makers image
Imparting a profound pilgrimage

Spirituality transpired
The journey maturity aspired

Becoming known beneath the layers
Unconditional love steeps with care

His Presence, not just a spectator
Fellowshiping with the Creator
