Month: May 2018

Keep me from stumbling, Lord
You know how weak I am
How easily I lose my footing
If I am not holding onto Your hand

Complete freedom from sin is not possible
As long as I live in this fallen place
I still need Your help continually, Lord
As You allow me to grow in Your grace

You present me faultless, perfectly unblemished
Within the glory of Your presence
Blameless before the King of Kings
Clothing me in Your righteous essence

Exceeding joy You provide to me now
I delight in time spent with You
Increasingly magnified, far beyond this earth
My glorious inheritance is in view

Nothing can rob me of this priceless gift
For You have paid for it in full
An eternity that will never perish or fade
My Royal Gift…IMMEASURABLE!

Good decisions you make, together with My help
Set you on a path to accomplish your dreams

Bad decisions, seemingly minor at the time
Can reveal heartache, often not as small as they seemed

Yet, I am able to see all of your flaws, Beloved
And simultaneously still love you and forgive

In the solitude of your heart and mind
Let me change the way you think and live

Your realization that I am aware of you
Will protect you from careless mistakes

Come to me, Beloved, on your knees
Before every decision you make

You may think you make your choices alone
But remember, I am Christ in you

Yes, every choice matters, my dearest ones
They are My transforming work in you

Rush hour traffic desperately tries to drown out creation’s voice
Yet, bird songs joyously rise above the muffled engines
Announcing the sunrise of a new day
The warmth of this majestic wake-up call is serene
Like the ocean waves gently spilling onto the shoreline

I am reminded to “rejoice and be glad in it.”

Thank you, Father, for these precious moments to rest in Your presence
I know these days are answered prayer

How did I get so lucky?

My heart is full
Brimming over with choice wine from your sun-kissed vineyards
I am soaked in a fragrant bouquet of inner peace, joy and contentment
Currents of restoration are gifts, baptizing the senses
Capturing the moments, illuminating the images You have composed on my heart
