Wheat grows among tares
Each nurtured by their source
Harvest separates
Haiku
Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. Matthew 13:30
Soon
The grass
And the flowers
Will fade away
The lovely sounds
Smells and the sights of summer
Will all be gone from us
But the word of our God will stand
Strong, secure and true forever more

All our earthly Lions
Us named Leona

And Matthew 5:16
Joy stealer entered
A visitor in the night
Left a bag of tears
Senryu
Psalm 30:5 says
“Weeping may endure for a night,
But joy comes in the morning.”
But, what if joy doesn’t come in the morning? Wonder if more weeping and anxiety comes?
Well, since we know that God does not lie, we know God’s word is true. Therefore, if what He says is not happening we need to figure out why.
Why didn’t joy come in the morning?
Because the enemy stole it from us. The joy stealer struck in the night. He took our joy and left us in tears.
Jesus said in John 10:10 that : “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
So, whoever this thief is, whether it’s the devil, our own flesh, the world, or a person, we can recognize that he’s a joy stealer, a thief that needs to be banished from our life. But how?
God’s word says His mercies are new every morning,
“Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not, They are new every morning;…
Lamentations 3:22-23 NKJV”
So every morning we can choose to throw that bag of tears away from us, and reach out to grasp the joy that God brings us each morning by believing His word and claiming it.
And every night before we go to bed we can cover ourselves with the blood of Jesus and the Armor of God so that the thief will not be able to break in and steal from us anymore.
Given new mercies
Everyday, why accept
Mediocracy?
Senryu
It is of the LORD’S mercies (goodness, kindness, favor)
that we are not consumed, (destroyed, ended)
because his compassions ( tender love, caring) fail not.
They ( goodness, kindness, favor, caring, tender love) are new every morning:
great is thy faithfulness )
Lamentations 3:22-23
If God offers us the chance to have a marvelous day every morning, why do we settle for less?

Nothing new under the sun
It all has been done
Haiku
The thing that hath been, it is thatwhich shall be; and that which is done isthat which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after. Ecclesiastes 1: 9-11
