Lord, open the shades to my heart and let your sun come beaming in Basking in your sunlight, the warmth of your love is where Heaven begins May your light shine through me so others might see Giving them the Hope and warmth, and Love that I see For there is truly no other way than to follow Your Son Jesus this very day This is the only way to win the race and have eternal life someday February 27, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Burn your bridges behind you so you can't go back You can only move forward by staying on the right track Having Faith in God, you leap toward His goal Unconditionally following Him, turning loose of your earthly gold Wherever you go whatever you do Our Heavenly Father is always watching over you February 27, 2023 Mark Waldrop
I've got my ticket. It didn't cost me a dime. A friend gave it to me at just the right time It will be better than any ride I've been on The exhilarating ride will last past dawn The destination is unimaginable; nothing I've ever seen The seas of glass and pastures of Emerald Green Crystal music from golden chimes Heavenly notes with divine rhymes Could this be the place I heard of long ago Oh my, a seat on the very first row for a Heavenly show I had no idea what was in store to see My loving family is being seated by me If I could only return to tell my family and friends, to get their ticket before their time comes to an end February 27, 2023 Mark Waldrop
I have uncontrollable Peace in my life today. Jesus brought it when he came in to stay. Nothing can explain the forgiveness He gave me, When I asked Him to come into my heart that day. Eternal life started here on earth. I can't explain. I only know there is no more room for sin to remain. There's only one way to thank Him that I know. Me serving others, letting His Peace and Love show. February 27, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Every step I take every move I make God watches over me. The further I go the clearer I see what my Heavenly Father wants me to be Staying on the right path keeping my focus on him Looking ahead His bright light will never grow dim When this life is over and the race has been won I can bow my head and thank Him for what He has done February 26, 2023 Mark Waldrop
There is no distance in prayer From here to there The physical distance we find in earthly time It is nonexistent; in the spiritual realm, There is no reason or rhyme The Lighthouse of God guides me toward him The closer I get, the brighter His light, never growing dim Prayer through God's Love brings me peace within Bringing much solace to an enemy or dear friend February 26, 2023 Mark Waldrop Penned for a friend Nick Russell
Little white lies I've heard of all my life. Sometimes little white lies bring less strife. White means not being bad I think. Lying about good you will always sink. There is no such thing as a black-or-white lie A lie is a lie until I die. February 25, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Wherever you go, there you are. That means where I am; I'm not far. This seems confusing, I must say Wherever I go, I can't stay. Always confused and misunderstood I need to slow down and look for the good. Only God is good, The Book of Truth says. It all made sense finding out I am His. February 25, 2023 Mark Waldrop
I have always been very independent, wanting help from no one. Always thinking I was number one. No one knew more than me. No need to ask for help, you see. Then one day things got out of control And I had to let go. No, where to go? No help I could find. I nearly lost my uncontrollable mind. Having nothing to lose. I bowed my head, asking God to free me from this booze. To my surprise, Love came rushing in. Thank God, Thank God I now have a new friend. February 25, 2023 Mark Waldrop
I have some little pet sins I do not want to let go. I'm not even sure their sins, you know. They may not be good, their not too bad. They seem to make me happy, not sad. In God's eyes, are there good and bad sins? Shaking my head, I'm not sure I understand. My Mother always said if done in secret, it's probably not right. Giving me cause to search my soul many nights. I guess the truth came to me when I realized God was watching me twenty-four-seven. I bowed my head and said I'm sorry I really want to go to heaven.
