Another Day is Over ~

Lord, another day is over,
a new night begins to dawn
I sit in the darken silence
and to You I am drawn.

Move me closer to You,
draw me ever near
lift from me my burdens
take from me my fear.

Encourage me to seek You,
so Your mercies I can know
give me Your assurance . . .
tonight in Your grace I will grow.

Help me to see Your purpose,
influence me to seek Your will
lead me to Your perfect peace
teach me to be calm and still.

Advance me towards Your goal,
further me along the righteous way
as I race for You tomorrow . . .
I praise and thank You ~ for today!

Love Is ~

Love that is . . .
patient and kind
that reaches down
touching mankind.

Love that is chaste,
pure in its thought
that humbles itself
before it’s sought.

Love that holds,
its temper still
is not angered
feels no ill-will.

Love that hopes,
is full of desire
that holds itself true
that doesn’t expire.

Love that trusts,
believes and is sure
that is forever
that which will endure.

Love that never fails,
or ceases to be
that can’t be bought
but which is free.

Love that is honest,
sincere and real
that evil and darkness
can’t conceal.

Love that comes,
from deep in your heart
that which only
the Lord can impart.

This is the love . . .
we ought to show
to each and every
person that we know!

1 Corinthians 13:4-7
King James Version

“Charity suffereth long,
and is kind; charity envieth not;
charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
Doth not behave itself unseemly,
seeketh not her own,
is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
Rejoiceth not in iniquity,
but rejoiceth in the truth;
Beareth all things, believeth all things,
hopeth all things, endureth all things.”
