In the tapestry of time, woven thread by thread, There’s a truth that dances, softly said: Jesus, in His wisdom, in His grace sublime, Moves with a rhythm, always on time. Not a moment early, nor a second late, His timing perfect, through every twist of fate. In our impatience, we may often find, Doubts and worries troubling our mind. Yet, in every sunrise, in every setting sun, His promises unfold, one by one. For in the silence, in the waiting, we see The beauty of His timing, precise and free. When the storms rage fierce and the night seems long, When our hearts grow weary, our faith not strong, He whispers gently, amidst our fear and strife, "I am with you always, in every part of life." Just at the right moment, He steps in, Turning our losses into wins. With miracles fashioned from His love divine, Jesus shows us, He’s always on time. So trust in His timing, let go of your fears, For His plan is unfolding, year by year. In every season, in every rhyme, Remember, our Savior is always on time. March 17, 2024 Created by MarkWaldrop
In the quest for divine grace, we set our sights, On a goal, so pure, in His holy lights. "Not for souls alone, nor for churches' rise, But to please our Lord, in the endless skies. Each week we search our souls, in quiet prayer, Measuring our hearts, in His loving care. Like the musician keen, for the Conductor's nod, We seek His approval, on this earth we trod. For any aim that leads, a step astray, From pleasing God, in every single way, May find us set aside, from His sacred plan, Focusing on Jesus, is where it all began. Paul, with discipline, his body did command, To keep his course true, by God's firm hand. "I bring it to subjection," he earnestly did say, "Lest I myself, from the path, sway. So, let our highest goal, through days and nights, To be well pleasing in His holy sights. Public worth is naught, if privately we fail, To align our desires, with His holy grail. Let us then pursue, with unwavering zeal, This primary goal, with righteous appeal. To be pleasing to Him, in all that we do, Is the servant's aim, faithful and true." 2Co 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.

In the heart of the night, under the watchful sky, Stood a figure, both humble and high. Confidence in their stride, humility in their gaze, A paradox, living, in so many ways. Not a mountain too steep, nor a river too wide, With confidence, they'd always stride. But in victory's glow, or defeat's harsh chill, Humility whispered, "Be kind and still." For every step taken on life's winding road, They carried both lights, as their code. Confidence to dream, to dare, to leap, Humility to learn, to listen, to keep. In the dance of the stars, or the sun's bright rise, They found strength in being wise. Knowing when to roar, and when to be quiet, Finding balance in the internal riot. So this is the song of the humble and bold, A story of warmth in the cold. For only together, do they truly shine, Confidence and humility, intertwined. March 16, 2024 Created by MarkWaldrop
In a world of hustle, in the ceaseless flow, Find peace in the thought, let your heart glow. Live, enjoy, relax, let your spirit soar, For Jesus has paid the tax, worry no more. Through trials and tribulations, in joy and in vex, He carried our burdens, cleared our complex. In Him, find solace, in Him, find grace, With every step, in every place. So breathe in the beauty, the wonder, the love, Gifted from Him, from the heavens above. Life's journey, now lighter, a path less complex, For Jesus has paid, indeed, our tax.

Enjoy the sunshine, the rain, the snow, In every season, let your heart glow. Live each day with purpose and grace, Treasure each smile, each warm embrace. Relax in the knowledge, so profound, In Jesus' love, we are found. He paid our tax, our debts, our cost, Ensuring none of us is lost.

Beneath the ancient skies of old, Where stories are whispered, and legends told, A humble donkey, meek and mild, Found favor in the eyes of a child. "For your love, so pure and true, A mark of grace I bestow on you," Spoke the Lord, with love so vast, A shadow of the cross, upon the donkey cast. Ever since that blessed day, The Jerusalem donkey bears the mark, they say, A sign of love from the divine, A symbol of grace, eternally to shine. Through fields and roads, the donkey treads, A living testament, its back bears threads Of a story of humility and care, A reminder of a love beyond compare. So let us remember, in our hearts and minds, The lesson of the donkey, and the love it finds. In humility and service, let us all partake, And carry our own crosses, for His name's sake.

In a world where dreams drift like dandelion seeds, Where ambition's fire blazes, ignites one's deeds, There's a simple truth, stark, in daylight's glow, "If you ain't willin' to work for it, then don't let your complaints flow." Through fields of effort, where sweat meets soil, Where the hands get dirty, embroiled in toil, Lies the harvest of hope, the fruits of strain, For nothing worth having comes without a little pain. So cast not your grievances into the wind, For the winds of change, by work, are pinned. Grasp the plow, set your sights, dive into the fray, For the treasures of persistence are found in the sway. The mountain of dreams, it's steep, it's tall, But the view from the summit is worth the crawl. So lace up your boots, set your heart to climb, Let your actions speak, in rhythm and rhyme. For the world has little for the idle, the still, But opens its arms to those who will, To carve their path, to stake their claim, To write their story, to light their flame. So if you stand at the crossroads, if you yearn for the sky, Remember the mantra that never will die: "If you ain't willin' to work for it, then let your dreams rest, For it's in the forge of effort that our mettle's truly test."
