Empowers

image

He empowers us to be
What He has called us for
Relax and allow Him to restore

As we accept who we are
We move closer to Him
Realizing the grandness
Of who He is

Looking to Him
For changes
Deep in our core

We cannot fight
The battle of striving more
Bringing mirages of changes
He alone carries that tune

Read His word
Meditate
On what He speaks
To your heart

Process what it means
Be able to repeat
Carrying truths
Deep inside you

Congruent

image

God calls us to express
Who we are in Christ
Displaying congruently
With men of Faith
As Abraham and Moses lived
By their example
Living by Truths
Not legalistically
But with Love

We are called to understand
The Word
To express His Love
Through our response
To others and life circumstances
Lives are given as examples
As we forage the Word
Helping us to internalize
His Truths
Intelligence does not
Guarantee understanding
As Believers we learn from Him
Through His relationship

He knows our hearts
Understanding the inner workings
How we shift to protect
So He reveals
Precisely to each one
To teach us to be
Congruent with Him

Praising Him
As He calls us closer
So thankful to the One
Who Loves so well
Giving grace
Unexpectedly
Transforming us
To follow Him
By our example
We share His Truths
Who is watching you?

Chasing Fears

image

Chase fears away
By marinating in His bouquet

The aroma alluring
Knowing His character securing

His love lovingly unconditional
His grace an unexpected miracle

Rest in this bountiful place
Feel His warm embrace

Emotions of inadequacy
Deliver candidacy

Dependence realized
What is idealized

Resting in His arms
As His Sovereignty calms

Truths recited
Hearts united

Chase fears away
By marinating in His bouquet

Where It Gads

image

My heart wanders
At the drop of a hat
It even keeps hidden
Where it gads

It naturally
Wants to serve self
In the spring of the day
I adjust where my thoughts dwell

To focus on the One
That is what matters to honor
Only the heart of Christ
Who is one with the Father

I must allow the
Thoughts and words Of Christ
Settle deep
For my soul to revive

To uncover where truths
Are at stake
Repenting
Surrendering my name

Giving life to Him
As I fade in the background
Sacrificing self
So He will standout

Rejuvenating my heart
My soul complete
Only as I join Him
Do I feel replete

My heart wanders
At the drop of a hat
It even keeps hidden
Where it gads

Mystifying My Days

image

Lord I love You and Your ways
Mystifying my days

There is a drizzle that continues
Quenching my thirst’s venue

Flourishing in my heart
Your Truths to impart

Your love unconditional
Outstandingly  transformational

Something I cannot understand
A Love so Grand

A Love that relieves tension
One of no recollection

Granting grace
When I feel it should not be erased

A Love greater than I can give
Weight released when You forgive

Lord I love You and Your ways
Mystifying my days

Peace and Serenity

image

Peace and serenity
Overcomes me

Relieving the tension
He is my attention

As I hear His whispers
I chuckle as He delivers

I studied His word
To soak in His Truths, He was heard

With such clarity
It  conveyed verity

What was
Worries of a situation
Demanding cultivation

Now is
Relief , assurance and rest
Creating a heart full of zest

My adequacy inept
The Holy Spirit adept

Proof in this moment
He rescued me from the opponent

Thankful for His intimacy
He is present unequivocally

Not Stumbling

image

Do I truly allow truths to sink in my heart?
Truths of myself
Found in solitary inspection
Knowing what I have the propensity for
Admitting my fallen state
Helpless without Him
Letting the reality of my corruption
Pierce my heart
To confess my shortcomings
To grieve as the Spirit does
From my actions
Do I truly allow truths to sink in my heart?
Truths of God
Knowing Grace and Peace
Multiplied with the Knowledge of Him
Escaping worldy corruption
Gaining divine nature
Being diligent in Faith
Displaying moral excellence
Thru Knowledge
Exercising self control
Perseverance
Showing kindness to my brother
Love increasing over time
Bearing fruit
From the vine
The Branch
Purifying my heart
Those are the joys
Righteousness thru Faith
Clinging to Him
Not stumbling

Stewards of Mysteries

image

We are stewards of the mysteries of God.
God entrusts us with His work.
We are His instruments in this life.
God works mysteriously in the hearts of men.
In ways we do not understand,
Ways that are hidden to the human heart and mind.
Our heart moves and deceives.
Hiding truths deep within.
To keep a steadiness in the display of who we are.
That is why it is a mystery.
How God moves a man’s heart.
To be an instrument,
We are to be close to Him,
To hear His direction.
To act out His plan,
Not out of our own heart.
Dying to our desires.
Becoming one with Him.
Joining His commission.
To spread Good News of His Glory.
The Hope He is.
Being a steward of His mysteries.
Till Eternity with Him.
