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 my television
and read the 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!
