Good Morning Quote ~02.16.18~

A Perfect Day ~

A perfect day with skies of blue,
my thoughts, my Father turn to You
while the sun is on its morning rise
I pray for You, to help make me wise.

As the morning sings its new song,
my heart for You begins to long
for today is Yours, for me to embrace
I pray to be filled with Your grace.

I trust You under the warming sun,
to continue the work which You begun
for the morning sun will be hot by noon
I know the branches, You need to prune.

As I toil through the heat of the day,
I know You will guide, lead the way
for the pruning is done to perfect in me
the life of Christ, for other’s to see.

As the day comes to a sun kissed end,
I thank You Father, for being my friend
for, today was indeed a perfect one . . .
to produce more fruit, for Your Son!

John 15:2

“Every branch in me
that beareth not fruit he taketh away:
and every branch that beareth fruit,
he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.”

Closer to Thee ~

Oh Lord, move me closer,
move me ever near . . .
this is the only thing
I want for the New Year.

I want a soul revival,
kicking off the new start
I want You to saturate
every inch of my heart.

I want to soak in,
all of Your goodness
I want to walk with You
on the path of holiness.

I want to be full,
of Your mercy and grace
I want to every moment
seek Your righteous face.

Oh Lord, move me closer,
move me ever near . . .
so I may be fruitful
all throughout the year!

Colossians 1:9-10

“For this cause we also, since the day we heard it,
do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye
might be filled with the knowledge of his will in
all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

That ye might walk worthy of the Lord
unto all pleasing,being fruitful in every good work,
and increasing in the knowledge of God;

Things, Things, Things ~

Things, things, things . . .
they are everywhere
their causing me grief
misery and despair.

Things, taking up my time,
running my life too
things that are keeping me
from the “thing” I should do.

Things, cluttering up my mind,
taking over my thoughts
things people give me
things that I have bought.

Things, taking me from God,
wasting instead time with them
things ruining my relationship
idols God would condemn.

Things, things, things,
who needs them anymore
getting rid of all my  things
and then God I’ll not ignore!

Colossians 3:2

not on things on the earth.”
