Divine Moment

Sea Glass reflected
In Heaven 

Saints victorious

Rejoicing

In His midst

Standing on a Sea of Glass

With the harps of God

Shadorma 

And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. Revelation 15:2

Security

Fall in the Forest Looking for a place to run and hide.

Health problems falling like Fall leaves

Upon my foundation of faith.

Above me threatening

Fears loom like dark clouds,

And Doubts circle around,

Causing a chill,

Til I hear

My Lord

Speak.

Reverse Etheree

He says in Psalm 32:7 that: 

  • He is my Hiding Place.
  • He will protect me from trouble
  • He will surround me and shout for my deliverance

Leaf Legacy

Leaf on sidewalk
Living 

Among shadows

Of the past’s occurances

Alone I face the future

Certain

That my life was not in vain

It was orchestrated

For a purpose

Fulfilled

Butterfly Cinquain

Based on Psalm 138:8  The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands. (ESV)

Which Gate?

Sky
Wide gate

Opens to pleasures,

Worldly fun,

Care-free,

Yet it ends in destruction,

And utter darkness.

Narrow gate

Is chosen by few

Difficult ,

Obstacles,

Yet leads to everlasting life.

Which gate to choose?

Double Shadorma

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13-14

A Cry for Mercy

Floods and Fires
“No more rain Lord”

A wet flooded Houston crys

“Rain Lord, we need rain ”

Oregonians praying

Wildfires raging 

And flood waters displacing

Elements ignore

Our Nation is on its knees

May God’s mercy be upon us

Choka

Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. Psalm 33:22

A Future and A Hope

Jeremiah 29:11
@SGLYMinistry 2017 http://www.smilegodlovesyou.org/sglystore.html

A spirit of hope,

Leads to a door of the future.

Prosperity waits,

In accordance with Him,

And His plans for me.

His word declares it so.

I sall not be harmed,

For His plans are for good,

For me forever and ever.

Choka

Based on Jeremiah 29:11

Taste and Trust

Bird at Birdbath
Have you tried the LORD? 

Have you experienced Him?

Have you taken time?

Taste and see, the LORD is good.

Have you reached out?

Trust and see, His blessings flow.

He is waiting for you.

Perceive who He really is.

Taste His goodness today.

Choka
Oh, the LORD is good! 

Just trust in Him and be blessed!

Taste and you will see!

Senryu

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Psalm 34:8

Rock of Refuge

Chief Kiawanda Rock in Pacific City, Oregon
Chief Kiawanda Rock in Pacific City, Oregon

Overwhelmed

Just too much to do

In deep waters

Near drowning

In need of a helping hand

To help me overcome

Shadorma

…when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Psalm 61:2
