True Peace



This morning as I sit here I feel so renewed.
Jesus is my shepherd and I have work to do.
My Savior calls for me to show the world he cares.
Through my thoughts, actions and words humbly will I share.
Jesus is the only way to feel true peace within.
Hold me close my Jesus I am ready to begin.







He Loves Me


Once upon a time I wandered without reason.

Swaying here and swaying there.

Misguided and confused, alone and yet surrounded.

Then once upon today I walk with purpose and direction.

My Savior called to me and drew me near.

I heard his voice so softly yet so clear.

The freedom that is offered embraces me with peace.

Jesus I want to thank you for loving me.




Love In Action


A smile so bright or a kind word or two,
can make a big difference to someone whose
tears fall silently unseen.
One person can make such a difference to someone whose heartache is hidden deep within
their soul.
Reaching out to someone whose loneliness consumes can make a world of difference.
There is no doubt that one person can make a difference.
Putting our love into action is ultimately putting God's love into action






The Lord Rules


Sometimes we allow the events of our lives to rule us.

But we must remember that there is only one Supreme Ruler- Our Lord and Savior!

The valleys we walk through are only temporary

But Salvation is Eternal.








My Prayer



Let me be a light to shine so bright.

Let me be a light for my Savior's glory.

God let me live by your heavenly wisdom.

Let my steps lead with unselfish motives.

May you pour your strength upon me.

Help me shine bright for your Heavenly Kingdom.

-Amen
