New Year

A new year,

Promise of change,

For what purpose,

Why do I wait?

When finding You,

I pre-desired,

Contemplating,

A better life.

A simple wish,

Come sooner Lord,

We’d be closer,

Light around me.

Yet even now,

Taken constant,

Oh, for granted,

I seek chances.

A gift given,

So long ago,

A sacrifice,

Paid for my life.

And I respond,

Perverted grace,

Walking myself,

In total vain.

Forever sin,

Fully aware,

Pay consequence,

No real gain.

Lost at Sea

Loneliness fills the boat, A sense of dread sinks in, No land for miles, The sky, an empty void. Then comes a single cloud, A sign of the heavens, Yet it floats on by, Take me with you cloud! Please! The sun begins to set, Darkness is coming quick, But stars shine above, Reflecting off water. Something from long ago, A provision set up, Formed years apart, And yet they shine for me. I awake the next day, Still stuck, trapped and static, But soon to be worse, A storm chases me down. My strength leaves my body, The devil whispers, but… The stars are a sign, I begin to praise You. The waves try to take me, They try to steal me, Grasp me tight my Lord, I put my trust in You. The waves grow in anger, They aim to distract me, I cling to your Word I rest in Your promise. Help comes when I need it, You calm me in the storm, Jesus, my lighthouse, You save me from the dark. Father, my life jacket, To float in rising tides, The Spirit - compass, You guide me through my life. I know the whole trut...

The Coming Season

It is all written, To happen as told, Step in to His plan, Much blessing awaits. The grass, it dances, As the wind blows North, A coming season, With new life and growth. The Kingdom, it waits, Soon, to be here, The rain can’t be stopped, It falls from heaven. Flowers will shoot up, Meeting occasion, A planting of seeds, Vital to share grace. The wind will carry, Pollination starts, Life in abundance, A meadow of love. Reaping what is sown, The Lord has harvest, So give yourself up, To our God, Most High. Ready or not, watch, Don’t stumble too far, Our path, laid to guide, Instruct us, we pray. We choose to follow, Fruitful in our ways, We choose love and light, Chase away the dark. Just like Elijah, We will climb mountains, Search the horizon, See, He is coming. Dedicated to Kevin and Seonaid. Whose friendship flourishes in the coming light.  They, who motivate and strengthen me, a true gift from God - eternal blessing to sustain me in life.

Battle of the "God's"

It is said, ‘Do not test the Lord your God,’ He is the God of every living thing, He formed the world and crafted the Heavens, He brings rain, yet can also bring fire. God brought a drought that lasted three years, Commanded His prophet, flee to safety, A stream for water, raven's gathered food, God is a God who provides daily bread. God can bring about endless abundance, God will sustain the needs of His servants, Glory be to God, Father of all light, Redeemer of our lost tormented souls. His stories are endless, His deeds are good, His love for us is never running dry, His source of grace flows from His huge heart, He will never forsake righteous people. Elijah trusted the All-Powerful, He stood before king Ahab fearlessly, He confirmed Ahab as the cause of drought, He knew God would protect Him, so stood firm. Now let us see the one true God who reigns, Test your “God,” for He will never answer, Baal does not respond, pray louder to Him. Baal does not come, He must be too busy. ...
