A sudden insight!
The reality of a deity,
Is revealed those wise,
Who bearing gifts for a King,
Now receive God’s offering!

An Epiphany!
The Wise Men journeyed afar,
Following a star.
Gentiles seeking a Child King,
Treasured gifts for Him do bring.

Amazing
Love! Mine to receive
Eternally!
Come to earth
As a babe born in a manger.
Jesus Christ, God’s Son!

As I ride the World’s Roller Coaster,
Each day offers different emotions.
One day I am “King of the Hill”,
The next I find myself at the “Bottom of the Barrel”,
Often I feel like I am “The Man in the Middle”.
But when each day’s ride is over,
I make time to talk with my Father,
And His words bring me comfort.
I find my true identity
In the truth of His words.
I am a Child of the King,
But His Kingdom is not of this world.

I was going,
But now, I’m not.
Plans change so quickly.
Another day passes,
As I do mundane tasks.
Time passes slowly.
Days become filled
With work and school.
Minutes fly by.
Sunrises in the East.
Sunsets in the West.
Moments in between are a blur.
Life–a daily gift.
Have I used it well?
Have I shared it with others?
The Lord of days
Watches it all
And ponders…
For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, And He ponders all his paths. Proverbs 5:21

Favored.
Clothed with Grace.
Stand firm in His Armor.
His child, His bride, His warrior.
No fear.

Morning light has come,
Through tender mercy of God.
Dayspring from on high.

“Oh what am I to do?”
I hear myself begin to say.
God reminds me I need to pray.
“Oh what am I to do?”
God reminds me His word is true.
I need to trust Him every day.
“Oh what am I to do?”
I hear myself begin to say…
