Let His Spirit Work Within


Be still and know
 that He is the Great One
who will never waver,
 doubt or fail you.

He has promised to fulfill
  the good work he has begun.
Let his Spirit work within,
 rest in his care.

His plans are perfect,
His love unfailing.
God is good,
all the time.

Welcome Home Brother...

She is expecting someone to visit
She prepares the room
with a gift on the little table.
Time and miles have not quenched love
her heart is warm with anticipation.
Her brother is coming home!!

He will Keep You


The LORD hears your prayers.
He understands what you're going through.
Keep trusting in Him.
He will keep in perfect peace
all those who trust in him,
all those who turn often to the LORD.

Trust God


There is not a day that goes by
that I do not think of you.
The inheritance you have left behind
is still growing and blossoming.
The words you spoke,
The life you lived
have been my greatest gift.

Faithful to all His Promises


The steadfast love 
of the LORD never ceases;
His mercies never come
 to an end;
They are new every morning;
Great is his faithfulness.
His love is true.
His plans are perfect.

Love Never Fails



Love never fails
It shines in the dark
It does no wrong.
It walks the second mile.
Love is patient
Love is kind
It will never cross the line
between what's right and wrong.
It hopes for the best
It bears no grudges.
Love smiles
in the darkest hour
with warmth and understanding.

Look at the Lilies


Look at the lilies!
They do not toil or spin,
and yet Solomon in all his glory
was not robed as they.

So don't be afraid little flock,
for it gives your Father
 great happiness
to give you the Kingdom.

He will always give you
all you need
from day to day
if you will make
the Kingdom of God
your primary concern.

Bright And Beautiful


Among the stone steps
 and the rusty irons you blossomed.
Bright, yellow and beautiful.
You came to remind me 
that those seeds planted
give birth to unexpected beauty.
In fact, someone had drastically
 torn the bush apart
some months ago
 because it appeared to be a bother,
it got in the way of the one
 who wanted to pass.
Like when we are in a hurry;
 we loose the capacity to admire,
 to contemplate,
to be inspired by beauty,
by life growing and blossoming near us.
But still, in time, one little seed
brought back the flowers.
Do not dispair,
whatever you  may have lost 
will come back to you
unexpectedly as bright as ever.

God Is Faithful



He who began a good work in you
will be faithful to complete it.
The Master is continually at work
and we are life-long learners.
Art is the expression of reality.
It goes changing
in time.
But it is never left unfinished
or abandoned.
It is completed.
It is transformed.
Is is made whole.

His Unfailing Love



By grace we have been saved
and this is a gift of God.
It is impossible to please
 Him without faith.
Whoever keeps His WORD
truly, the love of God is
 perfected in Him.
We have been crucified
 with Christ.
It is no longer us who live
but Christ who lives in us.
As the Father pities his children
so the Father pities those
 who fear Him.
He is gracious and full 
of compassion.
Do not fear.
He who keeps you will
 not slumber.
Even the hairs of your head
 are numbered.
Salvation comes 
from Him alone.
Blessed be Him who sits
 upon the throne!



The Promise


In every bulb
 there is the promise 
of life to unfold.
In every testing
 there is courage
 (faith) that will hold
 our lives together
 and make us grow
into everything 
God has planned
 for us to be.
