Psalm 32.3-5

 

Striving for Perfection ~

Every day I am striving,
for perfection . . .
every day I am looking
for God’s direction.

Every day to God,
I make confessions
each day I am looking
for His corrections.

Every day I go to God,
with my questions
each day I am looking
for His introspections.

Every day I go to God,
for His inspection . . .
each day I am looking
for His interjection.

Every day with God,
I make a connection
each day I am looking
for His reaction.

Every day I am striving
for perfection . . .
every day I am looking
for Jesus’ reflection!

even as your Father
which is in heaven is perfect.”

Where’s My Heart?

Lord, my lips confess Your name,
my mouth utters my love for You
every day I articulate the words
that I know You are due.

With sweet expressions,
I tell other’s about Your grace
confessions of how everyday
I seek to find Your face.

My tongue drips with honey,
when I talk about my devotion
for You are my living God
and I can barely hide my emotion.

The fruit upon my lips,
speak of all You have done for me
but in my heart I must confess . . .
at times ~ it’s’ so far away from Thee!

Matthew 15:8
King James Version

“This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth,
and honoureth me with their lips;
but their heart is far from me.”
