I was put here for a reason

I was put here for a reason 

My life is but a reason only known to God
Reveling more and more every day, I trod

My life is but a mystery for only God, and I to see
Walking with Him makes the answer clearer to me

Thank you, God, for Your Creation and including me
Spreading The Good News of Jesus for others to see

I have found my reason, Thank You for Setting Me Free

Best and Worst

The very best and worst of humankind  
seem to collide at the identical time. 

Where there is a horrible affliction
Good rushes in to bring protection

When grief overtakes us, and we begin to cry
Friends walk with us, wiping tears from our eye 

As we slowly move along the timeline of our life
Looking back, seeing the meaning of our strife

All the threads in God's ultimate plan
Sewn together, completing every man

Ultimately, our very best is stitched by our very worst
Completing our character that our souls may not thirst

The Break Up

Did you ever have a romantic friend where you thought the romance would never end

I think we all can recall such a time and place 
Only getting through the separation by God's Grace

Memories linger from time long ago
Tears and heartache make us grow

Only as the sands of time pass by
Do we see the reasoning behind why

I often look back only the fond memories to recall
This nostalgia brings love and encouragement to us all

The Holy Spirit 

Let Thy Holy Spirit, pure and free,
Dwell in me, a temple, let it be.
A sanctuary, a haven for grace,
In Your presence, I find my rightful place.

Guide my steps through darkness and light,
In Your presence, I find strength and might.
AMEN, I pray, with a heart sincere,
May Your love and spirit always be near.

The Living Waters

The Living Waters that flow through me
Bring ripples of kindness for others to see

The abundance of the water reaches deep into my soul
Quenching my thirst and forever making me whole

The freshness of the water I cannot explain
Bathing my soul like a warm, summer rain

Unexplained Love flowing through my soul
Not understanding how He Loves Me so


Bowing  my head, submitting my heart to Him
Constantly offering Thanks over and over again
