A Light to My Path

Dusk.. Night is calling Light recedes as the sun begins its descentDarkness inches inSoon the world will be shrouded in blacknessBut your Word O’ Lord shines brightEven in the darkest of night, It illumines my path and preserves my soul © 2019 Deanna Renee Where shall I go from your Spirit?    Or where shall I flee from…

Our Unchangeable God

It is a sobering realization to think that God knows me. Nothing is hidden from His sight. All my secrets, fears, sins, every thought I’ve ever had, everything I’ve ever done; all is laid bare before Him. Yet, He loves and embraces me. Not for who I am, but in spite of who I am.…

Believe

To walk in white, Pure and unblemished;A pillar in the temple of my God;His name on my forehead;Life Everlasting. To Believe–Seems such a simple thing,So small a price;For a debt I’m unable to pay.Could it be true? The Lamb of God Slain for my trespasses,Holds out His hands and bids me come.Come Into His kingdom, His…

If Only for A Moment

In the morning I riseAnd my thoughts turn to You. What joy it must have beenTo walk with YouTo talk with YouTo sit at your feet and listenAs You spoke Words of Life. Oh, to be–The dust of the paths that You walked upon!The wind that blew through your hair;Or the warm sunlight that kissed…

At times it seems I’m held captiveby the thoughts that rage within meMy heart aches with the immeasurable joyand mystery that surrounds my comingto knowledge of Him who loves me What shall I say? How can I release my soul to behold Him?To be consumed by the OneWho is the sole desire of my heart?…

Thank You, Jesus

All my life I searched.I don’t really know what I was looking for;something to hold on to, maybe. A reason for living.  My heart broken, my mind confused to the point of insanity.Happiness would show its face, only to hide againthe moment I reached out to take hold of it.  I was so alone.Surrounded by…

Why Do I Look at Problems as the Absence of God?

Why do I look at problems as the absence of God?And why does my faith so easily abandon me? The rains come. The storms come.And they will beat upon my house.This is the reality of life for everyone. The question is not, Why did this happen?Or, Why has God allowed it?But, What can I become because…
