Mysteries of the Unknown

Have you ever sat on the beach and watched the waves as they escape onto shore and are drawn back into the depths of the mysterious ocean, only to repeat the process over and over again? It is hypnotizing to join in on the rhythmic dance of the swelling waters.

When I sit and experience the repetition, I am reminded of God’s love for me. As I try to escape into the safety of my comfortable life, God draws me back into the mysteries of the unknown, joining Him in a rhythmic dance, while deepening my relationship and trust for Him.

Praise be to God for pulling me away from the comfort shore so that I might be drawn into the depths of the ocean where His glory is revealed to me!

There You Will Find Me

Look deep into your heart.
There you will find me.
For it is there that… I AM.
I have been there all along,
Since before you were born.
And there you will find… I AM.
Through every disappointment,
Every tear you shed.
There I am holding you… I AM.
Through every joyous moment.
Every cause to celebrate,
I proudly stand by you… I AM.
And as you suffer loss,
Throughout the years that pass,
I heal your broken heart,
Until it’s whole again… I AM.
And when it’s time to take you home,
I’ll gladly come for you
And claim you as my own…
I AM!

Time-Keeper

Some people tell God they will give Him more time when they have it.
What they are forgetting:
God is our time-keeper!

Enough

Enough
I used to say I’d give You more
if there was more to give.
But more came in and more went out.
It never seemed enough.

The sins, they never seemed so big
but, all in all, they grew.
Then grace, it came and never stopped,
but never seemed enough.

The tears they fell and stung my cheeks,
but You were there beside me.
You dried my eyes and never left
and yes, that was enough.

“IF ONLY”

[125] Comments

As humans, we wonder how things would have turned out “if only” things had been different.

“If only” I had been older when I got married, my marriage wouldn’t have failed.
“If only” I had waited to have children, I would have been a better parent.
“If only” our country had not gone to war, we wouldn’t be in such a mess.

We always assume that things would have been better. Let’s look at it a different way;

If I had waited to get married, my marriage might have failed anyway.
We never learn to be parents until we become parents, no matter what our age.
If we had not gone to war, terrorists truly may have devastated our country.

We cannot always assume things would have been better. God is in our lives and there is no place for “if only.”

Lord, help me to look only at my present situation, knowing Your mighty hand is in it. I will not look back with regret. For, even when I make bad choices, You turn everything to good and for the glory of Your name. I praise You for loving me enough to give me a glorious future. Amen.

Light

Light

When your heart is aching
And you see only darkness,
Move into the light.

When tears cloud your vision
And you can’t see the light,
Just know it’s still there.

When you can barely stand
On your own two feet,
Grab onto the light.

When you’ve nowhere to turn.
Every doorway is blocked.
Look under the one with light.

When guilt overcomes you
And you feel less than worthy,
Remember I am Light.

I will take you from darkness…
Dry your tears…
Carry you…
Open doors…
And forgive you…
Because I am Light and I love you.

The Lord’s Shoulder

The Lord’s Shoulder

The shoulder of our Lord
Is big enough for all of us
to lay our heads upon.
I know for it’s collected
So many tears of mine.
I can’t begin to count
The times I’ve turned to Him
And soaked His robe with tears.
He never lets me down
No matter what the circumstance.
Whether sadness or joy,
He is standing right beside me
With His shoulder firm in stance.

God’s Handprint

God’s Handprint

You always left Your handprint.
I just failed to see.
When I was young and helpless
And You quickly came to me.

You always left Your handprint.
I just failed to know.
When I was dreadfully afraid
To obediently follow.

You always left Your handprint.
I should have always known.
Those years of being a rebel
And times that I’ve since grown.

You always leave Your handprint.
I never miss it’s mark.
And every moment still
I feel it in my daily walk
As I pray to do Your will.
