Eternally Grateful ~

Oh, Lord when I mediate,
on Your tender mercy . . .
my heart becomes for You
more hungry and thirsty.

I want to drink in,
all of Your compassion . . .
I want to bottle up
each drop of Your passion.

Oh, Lord when I ponder,
on Your abundant grace . . .
the tears of joy can’t stop
running down my face.

I want to soak in,
all of Your loving goodness
I want to sop up . . .
each morsel of Your goodness.

Oh, Lord when I consider,
how much You are faithful
I can’t help but be to You
eternally grateful!

~~~~~

Psalm 100:4-5

“Enter into his gates
with thanksgiving,
and into his courts
with praise:
be thankful unto him,
and bless his name.

For the Lord is good;
his mercy is everlasting;
 and his truth endureth
to all generations.

God’s Goodness ~

I am so thankful,
for God’s goodness
so blessed to know
His loving kindness.

Grateful and glad,
He is always forgiving
as with Him I travel
in the land of the living.

I am so thankful,
for God’s mercy and grace
so grateful He gives me
strength for the race.

Confident and sure,
I’ve nothing to fear
for God goes with me
and is always near.

I am so thankful,
for God’s goodness
I am so grateful
for His faithfulness!

Psalm 27.13

I had fainted, unless I had

A Feeling Of Calmness ~

There is nothing quite like,
having a feeling of calmness
to be at peace with God
and to bask in His kindness.

It helps you to remain,
tranquil throughout the day
no matter what situation
may come about your way.

There is nothing better,
than an air of peacefulness
to delight oneself with . . .
thoughts of eternal happiness.

It helps you to continue,
to stay to God near
as you make your journey
while living down here.

There is nothing that beats,
having a heart and mind
soaking up all the peace
only in Jesus one can find!

Philippians 4.7

And the peace of God,
which passeth

An Everlasting Love ~

With a love,

That is the love,

that is your promise
every day through.

With a love,

That is the love,

With a Benevolence,
impeccably flawless
God’s love for you . . .
is perfectly spotless!

Good Morning Quote ~12.07.20~

Sticky Note to God ~10.19.19~

Wide Awake ~

When in the morning,
when I am wide awake
I read the Good News . . .
and not listen to the fake.

For when I turn on,
and tune in my television
there’s so much evil
streaming into my vision.

But, when I read my Bible,
the airwaves are full of love
peace, joy and eternal hope
airing to me from above.

The Scriptures broadcasts,
the wonder of God’s goodness
and I don’t need a satellite
to transmit to me His kindness.

When in the morning,
I rise from my warm bed
I shun the fake news . . .
for Good News instead!

Romans 15:4

“For whatsoever things
were written aforetime
were written for our learning,
that we through patience
and comfort of the
scriptures might have hope.”

The Potter Stands Ready ~

The Potter stands ready,
to patch and to restore
the broken heart of those
who can’t take anymore.

He sees the shattered soul,
all of the devastation
He knows it needs to find
in His hands, liberation.

He takes the ruined pieces,
places them upon His wheel
spins them with His mercy
so they may begin to heal.

He mends the brokenness,
with His  love and grace
then with hope and peace
He fills in the empty space.

The Potter stands ready,
to mend, heal and to restore
every single broken heart
who knocks on the Potter’s door!

Jeremiah 18:4

“And the vessel that he made of clay
was marred in the hand of the potter:
so he made it again another vessel,
as seemed good to the potter to make it.”

Full of Mercy and Grace ~

Full of mercy and grace,
overflowing with love
rich in long-suffering
is our Father, above.

Abundant is His devotion,
faithful in every way
compassionate for the lost
patient to all who stray.

Gracious beyond measure,
trustworthy to the very end
to all who hunger and thirst
life-giving waters He sends.

Steadfast is His kindness,
unselfish towards one and all
filled with eternal forgiveness
when on Jesus’ name we call.

Full of mercy, grace and love,
overflowing with tenderness
for, our Father in heaven . . .
is brimming with graciousness!
