Thank You

Thank You for Your acceptance
loving reassurance
Your gentle hand on my shoulder
and the words of Love You speak

Your Words more than follow me
they surround me as I walk
and Your joy burns gently inside me
I smile because I know I am loved by You
Thank You for having compassion on me
I fall to my knees

When I fret
You are the One Who, gently soothes

I sit and wonder
I think about how special You are
how precious You are
My life giver
and One Who makes my life special

You change my desires
and impress on my heart
You make me broken for people
and You have given me a heart for your work
I've never had this before...

I cry over things
Because of You

then You send me out
yet You are still with me as I go
to tell of the wonders of your love
and to encourage the weak
and love and comfort those who feel alone
to bind broken hearts
bring joy to the joyless
to bring out smiles for You
to restore people who've been broken

I want people to be hungry for You
and that they would see what You have done to me
and look to You
I want to share the love You have showed to me
so I can be a blessing

You are such a beautiful wonderful God
the gentle cherisher of my heart
Who knows what is best
Who is very wise
and Who is very patient

Thank You Jesus for everything You did
and for all You are doing
and for what You will do

When I glimpse You
I cry
tears fall
through the blurr
I see incredible love
And my heart quivers inside
Oh that the world could see

Such Holiness

a little prayer

I want to seek You
and get things right
I don't want to be discouraged in the fight
Thank You for Your grace when I stumble
Thank You for Your family who are so loving

Thank You for Your strength
to help me in this fight
the fight to live for You
and shine for You

I want to hold my tongue
and love people, even when it hurts
I want to loose my life
and serve You and others
I want You to be the centre
not me
I want You to be pleased with me

I look to You
I look to You

Dusty days

Hello everyone
hows' life for all of you?
I'm not sure what to write today at all
I want to write a poem, but I'm not feeling that poetic.
lol
who knows...
I'm thinking at the moment about the phases and seasons we all go through in our walk with God.
Each one presenting it's own lessons to be learnt.
Though sometimes, like today, I don't feel like I'm really going anywhere. Today has felt like just a day in itself, without any real direction or breakthrough.
What is supposed to be happening?

Dusty days
the atmosphere stays still
my mind inside always looking for the next step
Where am I travelling?
What next will I learn about You God?

Here things feel dry
I feel I should be achieving something
or making an impact
but I'm stuck in the desert
far away from any horizon
stuck with myself

So I sit here
Picking at my faults
And think they are the reason why I feel so null
I get absorbed in my present state
Forgetting about Your purpose and Your plan

All I feel is where I am now
I'm frustated and annoyed
I question myself
Why can't I love people more?
Why am I so argumentative?
Why am I so lazy?
Why am I not enthusiastic now?
Where is my drive?
My passion?

I want to flow like a river
A strong river for You
But I sit here in the sand

Time passes
Inside my stirring thoughts wear themselves out
and I am wearied
Weak from my questions

Then in silent love
You help me look up
And then I see
All this while You are the same God
You've been watching over
As I've worked myself up over so many things

I wonder at Your thoughts
What are they?
I've been seeking inspiration
and energy
but sometimes I've looked to myself
I been wanting hear Your voice
But I've been so lost in my own thoughts
Where is the poetry, the vibrance?
I want to blossom for You

...But... I know You are there anyway...
King of Peace
And I know I am always in Your heart

Even though I can't always feel it
I know Your beauty shines
And Your love thrives
Your are alive despite the dryness
Delightful beauty
You are Teeming with Life and Light
I'm delighted in Who You are
Your wisdom prevails and lasts always

All of these blong to You

Holy Majesty

No matter what noise gets in the way
When it fades,
When my thoughts fade
You are still true

In this dryness
I can still rejoice in You
Because You are God anyway
And You always regin
From Heaven above with Absolute Power

May Your Kingdom come
...however I feel
May Your will be done
You great and faithful planner of my days
And of the days of the whole Earth

My eyes may not be lighted to Your purpose
But Your purpose still stands
And is surer than the rising of the Sun

Your do not forget the scheme of things LORD
And Your know what will come to fruition
You know when we'll break camp
And when we'll walk into the promised land.

My feelings do not always reflect the future
But Your Words command everything
The future is Yours

So I will not fret with these moments
when nothing seems to happen
Because You are the Alpha and the Omega
Meaning is Yours
My feelings are temporary
Your are Eternal
In You I will rest

God of all seasons
Thank You God
Awesome God
