Spring Refresh
Sweet sunlight, sweet moonlight
Caress on my face
Based on Proverbs 8
Wisdom’s Song
Wisdom dances with delight
For those who walk her path
The foolish run down crooked roads
Leading to their wrath
Her veil streaming in the breeze
Her arms open to above
Patiently waiting to be heard
She is filled with Heaven’s love
Imparting revelation
She lingers near your door
Once you have a taste of her
You will always come for more
All the words she speaks are just
From her path you must not stray
Wisdom pours herself into you
When you decide to walk in her way
Her lyrics will empower you
To make the choice that’s right
Her voice will save you from the traps
Set for you by night
Sin waits to devour all
With a seductive, honey song
So easy to fall into sin
And quickly turn to wrong
Be steadfast in your love of her
Don’t look to left or right
Follow the path that is filled with love
And receive her glorious light
Into Your Presence
Pull me into Your presence Lord
For each day I love you more
I want You to know that I believe
I want You to know it’s You I adore
You say take courage for all is well
You’ve laid out my path and my way
You’ve planned my every moment
You say only to carry this day
For You I will fight all my fears
You place me in the depth of Your love
For You have wiped all my tears
And from hereon only look to above
I belong only to You forever
For Your love burns inside me
Like a father with a newborn babe
You protect and safely guide me
I know You will not fail me
You have prepared my way
Your glory overwhelms me
More love poured out each day
I Belong to You
II am giving You all my precious King
I can’t be without Your beauty any longer
You give me love, You give me hope
You make my spirit stronger
I am finished chasing empty dreams
Running down empty trails
Your love breaks down all obstacles
Your glory never fails
With You the darkness disappears
I am captivated by Your light
As the sun brightens the universe
And the stars shine through the night
Hope Whispers
Hope whispers through the wind and lands like a gentle dove
Hope lifts the dreariest head and fills its soul with love
Love falls softly on longing hearts, ever waiting to adore
Love gifts the soul with her beautiful touch ever giving more
Joy joins the ones who seek God’s truth no matter what the season
Joy to all who seek righteousness; who follow God with reason
Faith builds a home on solid ground, lest the tempest come
Faith fills the heart with peace when life’s dangers surely come
Kindness flows from deep within a loving, giving soul
Kindness when often given, leave one feeling whole
Jesus stands so patiently, gently rapping at your heart
Jesus comes that we may know His love and never be apart
This is all so new; Your precious love
You rein me in so tenderly
A full commitment is what you have for me
Nothing in this world could ever compare
I just want to tell you how I love you
I know You understand
I know You’ll never let me go
You’ll never let me down
You’ll never leave me stranded
You’ll never hurt my heart
You’ll never tell me goodbye
No matter what, You’ll never leave me
When I’m so far down that I can’t see light
I slip so easily to that pit without fright
When the day disappears and there’s only night
I cry out to hear Your sweet sound
When my head is filled with thoughts of despair
When the days disappear and nothing is clear
When I can’t form the words in a calm sweet prayer
I know that Your love will abound
You lift me up in your tender wings
Oh so sweetly my spirit sings
I am lifted into the arms of a King
And in Your arms I feel love
I let you carry my burden called life
I hand you over my worries and strife
Even the worst which seem so rife
I give thanks to You Father above
Where to Go from Here
Where do I go from here, God?
Today I can..
Look to the light You’ve set unto my path
And know that Your love will guide my way along the wide road and the lath
The future can often feel so daunting, whether in the immediate, or in the far future. Which choices to make along the way. From early decisions such as education, friends we make and relationships that we establish to career choices, family decisions and the ways to cope through life’s many struggles, which way to go is always at our best, an educated decision; a hopeful choice; a path chosen from advice and thought.
When we allow God and our faith to lead our choices, the path, although perhaps just as daunting in how it may appear to us, is clear in our Heavenly Father’s eyes. It is one that was laid for us before the beginning of time and one that we can trust as it is the all-knowing, all-seeing God of the universe that has set it for us.
We find that He leads us in our path through prayer, through the courage to step out in faith with Him and in His Holy Word.
Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp for my feet; a lamp on my path.
If Only….
Lord, when I look back, I see what I could have done and where I’ve gone wrong…
Today I’m going to:
Look to You, instead of looking back
I know that You’re my Lord of all and will put my life on track
Life is full of “if only”s. “If only I hadn’t….”; “if only I could have….”; “if only I’d known then….”.
Living life with these types of regrets is dangerous to our spirit and to growing as a person in our life. It is easy to get stuck in the past and what could have been, should have been, would have been, etc. What does pondering these things accomplish other than leaving a wistful sadness in your being? It gets you nowhere and worse, it can cripple you from moving forward because you are too busy looking at the past.
God promises that He has a plan for us. He promises that He will not let any of our life be a waste when He promises that He uses “all things for our good”. God’s love for you is boundless and too much for us to fathom.
When we focus our eyes and our lives on following God’s direction, our regretful hearts become renewed into hearts of hope. Hope in knowing that the Creator of all is lovingly waiting to guide us and lead us in our days. What wonderful peace awaits us in this knowledge! What joy in knowing that our tomorrows are in our loving Heavenly Father’s hands!
Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
