The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Trust His Love


Trust in the Lords love in all that you do
Share His heart faithfully as He has showered this gift upon you
Worry not in what is to be within your lives
Rely on His love let His almighty heart be your guide

Remember His mercy for you and share this blessing with all those you meet
For we all need this mercy to be freed from the grips of evils greed

To shine upon the world the Lords love that en-kindles all souls
The divinity of His pure love feeds these fires in our hearts that glow
From His heart to ours and out into the hearts of His children whom God made
Saving us from sin as we turn to Him we begin to see and obey
His love is gracious and for all to accept and to share
For He loves every soul and longs for all hearts to hear

Not one loved above any other but all loved in His own special way
For our Father gave us His breath of life, molded each one of us as His most precious clay

He searches our hearts as we pray sincerely for all of our cares
He reaches down gently and touches us with loving hands to ease our fears
A love filled feeling of just knowing His presence is ever so near

A grace of simple humble love blessed upon us when we feel we are weak
A way out of the darkness that looms to try and trip our righteous feet
So worry not what will be today nor tomorrow
Trust only in The Lord, let Him be your guide as you faithfully follow
Go to Him truthfully as you put on your armor each day

Be a light of His pure love and mercy showing many the way
Take them with you placing their heart in the Lords hands

Their hearts will beat anew as they will now understand
He wants not one to be lost nor forgotten in these hard times that draw near
The Lord almighty is guiding His flock with His tender love that we all have and need to share

Psalm 143
A psalm of David.
1 O LORD, hear my prayer,
listen to my cry for mercy;
in your faithfulness and righteousness
come to my relief.

2 Do not bring your servant into judgment,
for no one living is righteous before you.

3 The enemy pursues me,
he crushes me to the ground;
he makes me dwell in darkness
like those long dead.

4 So my spirit grows faint within me;
my heart within me is dismayed.

5 I remember the days of long ago;
I meditate on all your works
and consider what your hands have done.

6 I spread out my hands to you;
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land.
Selah

7 Answer me quickly, O LORD;
my spirit fails.
Do not hide your face from me
or I will be like those who go down to the pit.

8 Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul.

9 Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD,
for I hide myself in you.

10 Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God;
may your good Spirit
lead me on level ground.

11 For your name's sake, O LORD, preserve my life;
in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.

12 In your unfailing love, silence my enemies;
destroy all my foes,
for I am your servant.

Forgiveness





Forgiving is hard for many of us to do
But God forgave me and God forgave you
Forgiveness is a blessing to set your heart free
Letting go of the anger that afflicts all of humanity
This anger has a way of embedding a wall deep within your soul
And these angry thoughts will follow you where ever you will go
It will continue to grow heavy and weigh down upon your heart
This wall will keep you from truly living and being who you are
These burdens overpower you now you feel trapped within this place
You fester in this anger alone and ashamed to show the Lord your face
But the Lord made us each with His own tender loving hands
He asks that we go to Him He will help us to understand
He searches the deepest regions of our hearts
For His will that was sown within us from the very start
His mercy is for all and will be there if only you would ask
He will help you to truly forgive and complete this most important task



Matthew 18;21-35
21Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.23Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.24And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. 25But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.26The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.27Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. 28But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.29And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 30And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. 31So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.32Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: 33Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?34And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.35So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

Grown


My soul my spirit from within
Longs to be fully united with Him
A part of this vessel always needs to be cleaned

A piece the flesh of this body that is me
So I try to follow to walk without sin
But this flesh of me still wants of empty material things

So my soul yearns and tries to break free
from all these earthly impurities
To walk without this shame that binds and blinds

To search within and and with His forgiveness find

That I am human a sinf
ul creature with a free will
I am prone to move when I should be still

I must take hold of my life and with all my strength
Run to my Lord who is my defense
For in His word I learn the truth In His sacrifice
I see His profound love taking root

His saving grace He bore upon that cross

His everlasting mercy to come from His pain not to be lost
So as I try to break free form my occasion to sin
I know with each decision at ever
y rebuke of temptation I begin
To walk closer to Him as I stay
Under His mercy fountain that flows to help keep evil away
Because I fear my Lord, My father above
I don't want to hurt Him and disgrace His eternal love
I know that I can be forgiven of sin when I fall
But I shall do my best to follow free of it when He calls
So as these things these treasures here disappear
We will all learn to live and trust by His care
Instead we should be storing treasures of His love
To take with us into His heavens above
For He is our Father our Creator and He shall always provide
For this greed and envy has caused our Country to be stricken with pride

Looking to a man to solve to correct what's come of our sins

Instead of going to the mercy seat of the Lord and seeking our forgiveness from HIM

We all need to know of this grace
For those of us who do it is time to show our face
We must walk as an example of Him each day of our lives
Trusting He is with us and will be by our side

So as we walk and follow
His call towards home
Let us try to save those sheep that have roamed

Let us walk with our Lord the best we know how

Each with our own gifts we plant the seeds and He plows

To find within each and every heart this seed that has grown

The one not withered and dry
The one not eaten by the birds in the sky

The one not choked by the weeds or planted on rocky soil
But for the one that has truly for The Lord labored and toiled
Surely
He will gather His Harvest and in time
He will hold
The fruits produced the one hundred and sixty or thirty fold




John 17;9-23

9I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. 10And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. 11And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 12While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 16They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. 20Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

Matthew 13;3-9
3And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;4And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:5Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: 6And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.7And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:8But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
9Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
