Underneath The Surface ~

Underneath the surface,
below the harden crust
into someone’s heart
plant a seed of trust.

Then each day give it,
some living-water
from the streams of life
flowing from our Father.

Don’t be discouraged,
if results you don’t first see
just pray for the seed to sprout
while down on your knee.

Ask God  for it to take root,
to break thru the stony heart
then wait for the Holy Spirit
to come and do His part.

For underneath the surface,
a lot is going on . . .
and the seed of faith will grow
as it finds, the light of His Son!

~~~~~~~

John 6:44

“No man can come to me,
except the Father which
hath sent me draw him:
and I will raise him up
at the last day.”

A New Heart ~

A new heart,
is quite a sight . . .
for it’s now full
of Jesus’ light.

It’s no longer bitter,
it now forgives
for no longer to self
does it now live.

It has assurance,
an inner desire
for the Holy Spirit
to lead and inspire.

It loves God’s Word,
it reads it each day
it seeks to follow
the narrow way.

It encourages others,
to come to the cross
it now understands
sin can’t be the boss.

It’s full of joy,
hope and trust
it no longer craves
after its former lust.

For it’s now humble,
lowly and meek
it knows without God
it is truly weak.

A new heart,
is easy to spot . . .
for the wisdom of God
it has finally got!

~~~~~~

Ezekiel 36:26

“A new heart also will I give you,
and a new spirit will I put within
you: and I will take away the stony
heart out of your flesh, and I will
give you an heart of flesh.”

Make Fear Disappear ~

Life is full of apprehension,
worry, dread and fear . . .
and I know of only one way
to make them disappear.

So, whenever I’m fearful,
it’s Jesus I focus on
until my trepidation
is all but spent and gone.

For, He gives me strength,
to overcome my anxiety
whenever I give to Him
in my life first priority.

Whenever nervousness,
takes a grip on me
it’s Jesus  I focus on
until, it’s His light I see.

For, He brings clarity,
in the midst of my doubt
His light floods the dread
from my mind right out.

Life is full of apprehension,
worry, dread and fear
but, focusing in on Jesus
will make them disappear!

Psalm 27:1

” The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?”
