Everything we have
And everything we’ve been given
Are temporary gifts
Until we reach our heaven.
Blue skies above
And green trees below
Reflect our Father’s love
Because the Bible tells us so!
Tag faith
Protected: Heaven and Home!
The Lord, My Guide
Lord, give me strength for this day’s task,
Not for tomorrow would I ask;
At twilight hour, oh, may I say,
“The Lord has been my guide today.” —Nillingham
Strength for Today
Strength for today, my tiny prayer
Strength for today is all I need
Strength for the hours that stare at me
Strength for the seconds that beckon me
Strength for the time I may see you
Strength for the breath of living air
Strength for today, my tiny prayer
Strength, my Lord, please strengthen me
All I Have
If all I have
Is my Lord above
It is enough
For I am a child of God
I promised to serve
I promised to love
My life is yielded
For His work
Alone
Something Higher
This morning I received a beautiful encouraging message. We do not need to do much to be a help to others. Sometimes we can just be ourselves. And that is enough.
I was feeling so down on Friday, and my mood was really low, and simple faith has lifted me up again. We are spiritual beings in a natural form, and our natural bodies need natural resources. There will always be that need to feed it. But our natural form will fade and die. Our bodies will die. But we are spirit! There is something higher!
Living Water
I looked with envy
At the seducing images of
Cars
And yachts
Perfumes
Handbags
Shoes
Houses
Horses
Hair
Nails
Fashion
Gold and silver
Until my parched throat
Begged
For living
Water
The Son
Finding contentment
In a world of war
Finding peace
In a heart of fear
Finding happiness
In the midst of pain
I found it all
When I found the Son
More Trust
If the world be taken from me
And all I have is dust
I will pray on my knees
I will pray for more trust
To know you are my father
And I am your child
You will never forsake me
I’ll never run wild
I will pray for more joy
I will pray for more love
I will pray for your grace
And more trust from above
Prayer for Patience
I am waiting for love
I am waiting for Thee
I am waiting for patience
I am waiting to see
What thou hast in store for me
What thou heart has planned
The depth of thy mercy
The grace from thy hand
I am waiting, dear Lord
Hear my soul prayer
Grant me thy vision
Lend me thy ear
So I could hear fully
And I could know trust
That thy way is best
I will wait if I must
