Doubt and Fear are birthed from sin Both fading away when Love enters in With no Love we fear and doubt everything This condition will bring a fierce sting To be happy and sing along the way I bow my head praying for Love everyday June 3, 2023 MarkWaldrop
The tongue only reveals the truth of the spirit Control your spirit and others will surely hear it Trying to control the tongue without controlling the spirit Will leave the tongue wagging with no merit June 2, 2023 MarkWaldrop
I hold Heaven and all its Glory in my right hand I hold hell and all of its misery in my left hand My tongue is in the middle exclaiming the desires of my heart If I don't bridle it my soul will be split apart My choice you see Good or evil There's no hiding my inner zeal My thoughts exploding in my tongue will reveal June 2, 2023 MarkWaldrop
In the realm of words, where truth resides, The tongue's fierce power, it oft confides. A vessel of thoughts, it boldly reveals, The secrets are hidden in the heart's appeals. Yet, the tongue alone, cannot bear the weight, Of a spirit untamed, in a tumultuous state. For words may flow, with no guiding light, And truth turns murky, in the absence of sight. To control the tongue, we must first attend, To the depths within, where spirits ascend. For a tongue unbridled, will wag and deceive, With empty chatter, no substance to retrieve. The spirit, a flame, that yearns to ignite, With virtues and grace, it takes flight. Harness its power, with wisdom's embrace, And the tongue shall follow, in a measured pace. For a controlled spirit, others will perceive, In words of truth, they shall truly believe. Through the harmony of the soul, the tongue finds worth, A reflection of spirit revealed in its birth. So, seek not only to tame the tongue's sway, But the spirit within is in humble display. For when the spirit's reign is firm and just, The tongue shall speak with integrity, we trust.

In moments of fear, my heart finds solace, For I put my trust in the One divine. To God, whose word I sing and praise, In Him, I find courage and fears decline. No longer am I bound by mortal strife, For in God's embrace, my worries flee. What can mere mortals do to threaten my life, When His love surrounds and sets me free? Though shadows loom and darkness may come, My faith remains steadfast, unwavering strong. For in the arms of God, I am overcome, With a peace that prevails, a melody's song. So let fear be silenced, my spirit uplifted, As I place my trust in the One who is true. In God, I find refuge, my fears are shifted, For what can mere mortals ever do? With the Psalmist's words etched deep in my soul, I stand unafraid, with courage imbued. In God's unwavering love, I am made whole, For His power and grace will see me through Psa 56:3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. Psa 56:4 In God, whose word I praise— in God, I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? June 1, 2023 Compiled by MarkWaldrop
Praise God Praise God in every way every day That you may find fulfillment in your work and play God’s Creation Praises Him continually Leaves waving in the wind Birds chirping to no end Clouds shifting in the sky the Sun by day the Moon by night Praising Him with their Heavenly Light God is greater than the beginning or the end of time After serving here on earth continually Praising Him where there is no time May 31, 2023 MarkWaldrop
What do I choose to remember from long ago Do the memories anchor my faith or toss me to and fro It is my decision what I chose to bring from the past It is to my gain To leave the heavy baggage and remember Love that will last God has cast our sins as far as the East from the West It will benefit me to remember the Good that I will be truly Blest 1Th 3:6 But Timothy has just now come to us from you and has brought good news about your faith and love. He has told us that you always have pleasant memories of us and that you long to see us, just as we also long to see you. May 31, 2023 MarkWaldrop
In the month of June, when days grow long and bright, Schools release their children to summer's delight. With backpacks left behind and laughter in the air, They venture into freedom, without a single care. The solstice arrives, with the sun at its peak, Illuminating the world with radiance unique. The longest day of the year, with daylight in excess, Nature revels in the glow, nature is truly blessed. June, the midpoint of the growing season's dance, Between planting and harvesting, a moment's chance. The earth awakens, flowers bloom in a vibrant array, As nature's symphony unfolds, a glorious display. Father's Day embraces the love that we hold, A day to honor fathers, wise and bold. Their guiding hands and steadfast care, Nurturing our dreams, always there to share. Juneteenth, a beacon of freedom and light, A celebration of liberation, a resolute fight. A reminder of the struggles endured in the past, And the resilience that carries us forward steadfast. Amidst this canvas of wonders, the Strawberry Moon gleams, Casting its ethereal glow upon land and streams. Named after the sweet fruit, the harvest soon to come, A symbol of abundance, a joy for everyone. So let us rejoice in June's embrace, Embracing the moments, finding solace and grace. For this month of beginnings and abundant cheer, We celebrate the beauty that makes life so dear. May 31, 2033 Compiled by MarkWaldrop
Faith plus action equals Loving Deeds Faith without action is dead if you please Faith alone will not get you close to home Faith with action will move you right along From the beginning to the end Faith plus God's Love will ascend Faith without action is like the Sun without light Faith in God's Love shines so very bright When God touched me I received His Love with deeds to no end Bowing my head I can't thank Him enough for being my friend God's Love is meant to be passed on through His Son Jesus By this action, of righteousness, He becomes so precious His Love cannot be explained Only felt from the depths of my pain Thank You, God, for your saving Grace That was only attainable by your Son Jesus taking my place Jas 2:26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

What path do I find myself on today Is it a path of righteousness or a path of decay How do I change my path I must say It falls my decision to change my path today Does the path I’m on bring instant pleasure Does my path bring happiness unmeasured Looking ahead where will my path lead At the end of my life will I start to plead At the end of my life have I built a Hope for Eternity Or have I joined the devil's fraternity There is a fork in the road Heaven or Hell The decisions I make will determine for eternity I will dwell Jesus is the way the truth and the life Putting your trust in Him He will walk with you and guide you through all strife Joh 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. May 30, 2023 MarkWaldrop
