Saved by the Light
Burden’s gone
I’ve been set free
From sin’s snare
And death’s grip
I sit in the heavenly places
Safe at Jesus feet

Follow Me” and my heart told me go,
Go, leave the chaos, Follow Him,
Him, who knows all there is to know.

Functioning Faith
Planting mustard seeds
On my knees, moving mountains,
Breaking down barriers.

Believe and Pray:
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Matthew 17:20 KJV
Walking with The Word
I don’t walk alone
The Word safely leads me
He is the Light I need
To guide my feet each day
And keep the darkness away

Christmas Gift for the World
No cozy Fireplace
Not a Stocking hung with care
Christmas still arrived
In a stable long ago
God gave the world
The most precious Gift of all
No tree, nor chimney
Without Santa or his reindeer
God gave the world His Son
Choka
In a lowly manger He lay
The Prince of Peace in goodwill came
The Mighty God upon the hay
In a lowly manger He lay
God came upon earth that day
Everlasting Father His name
In a lowly manger He lay
The Prince of Peace in goodwill came
Triolet
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 KJV
Thoughts On Love
Love never ends.
It’s easy to love someone
Who also loves you
Someone who’s true
Who’s patient and kind
And of the same mind
It’s easy to love that someone
It’s not easy to love someone
Who doesn’t love you
Someone who’s untrue
Who’s impatient and unkind
And of a different mind
It’s not easy to love that someone
But Jesus said to love everyone
Even that someone
Who doesn’t love you
Who’s impatient and untrue
Of a different mind or unkind
Who’s arrogant and rude everyday
Who selfishly insists on their own way
Loving everyone is not easy, tis true
But it’s something Jesus told us to do
Rhyme
Jesus said: “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you,…” John 13:34
What 1 Corinthians 13 says about Love:
Love is patient and kind;
love does not envy or boast;
it is not arrogant or rude
It does not insist on its own way;
it is not irritable or resentful;
it does not rejoice at wrongdoing,
but rejoices with the truth.
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends.

Morning Mood
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.
