His Life, Not Mine ~

Lost in Jesus,
His life, not mine
His will for me
now to go fine.

Lost in Jesus,
for His own sake
so from the world
I’d make a break.

Lost in His love,
cursed no longer
His grace for me
makes me stronger.

Lost in His hope,
my cross to bear
my life now
rests in His care.

Lost in Jesus,
not my life to live
now that my heart
to Him I give!

~~~~~~

Matthew 10:38-39

And he that taketh
not his cross,
and followeth after me,
is not worthy of me.

He that findeth his life
shall lose it: and he that
loseth his life for
my sake shall find it

Good Morning Quote ~09.04.20~

 

 

By God’s Grace ~

Sometimes life . . .
can be so unfair
and we anguish over
the depth of our despair.

We become disoriented,
with God’s plans for us
forgetting why we even
in Him place our trust.

Sometimes life . . .
throws us a curve ball
making us wonder
if there’s a God at all.

We become disillusioned,
about God’s will for us
ignoring the fact He is
always fair and just.

Sometimes life . . .
it just too hard to face
but, we who keep trusting
do so by God’s grace!

Proverbs 3:5-6

“Trust in the Lord with
all thine heart;
and lean not unto
thine own understanding.’

My Steps Are Preset ~

This year I’m stepping out,
letting my faith take me
to wherever God wants
or plans for me to be.

My steps He will order,
upon a firm foundation
so I will need to be ready
to fall into formation.

If I should stumble,
I know I will not fall
for God will uphold me
when on His name I call.

Onward I will go,
on the path God determines
for I know He has for me
some faith building excursions.

If I should lose my way,
I know I will not get lost
for God will encourage me
to keep my eyes on the cross.

This year I’m stepping out,
trusting the way God will direct
for I know my steps of faith . . .
He’s already planned and preset!

Psalm 37:23-24

“The steps of a good man
are ordered by the Lord:
and he delighteth in his way.

Though he fall, he shall not
be utterly cast down:
for the Lord upholdeth
him with his hand.”

Safe And Secure ~

The safest shelter,
that is known to man
is coming to rest . . .
right into God’s hand.

There’s no other place,
in which we can find
a perfect defense for
the heart and mind.

The safest refuge,
in which to flee
is in the sanctuary
of bended knee

There’s no place,
that is  more securer
than when in prayer
with our soul’s insurer.

The safest abode,
that is known to man
is prayerfully finding
shelter in His hand!

~~~~~~

Psalm 62:8

” Trust in him
at all times; ye people,
pour out your heart
before him:
God is a refuge for us.”
Selah.
