Jesus understands your pain,
He empathizes with your grief
He knows that only His love
can bring your heart relief.
He recognizes your sorrow,
He sees the sadful sting
and the solace of His peace
in your life He wants to bring.
He identifies with your hurt,
the tenderness of your ache
He knows what it feels like
when others your heart breaks.
For He too was rejected,
His life others gladly discarded
He knows the agony inflected
when your cry is disregarded.
Jesus understands your pain,
He wants to give you relief
for He died to put an end to . . .
all your sorrow and your grief!
~~~~~~~~
Isaiah 53:3
“He is despised
and rejected of men;
a man of sorrows,
and acquainted with grief:
and we hid as it were
our faces from him;
he was despised,
and we esteemed him not.”

The stepping-stones of faith,
we all need to get across . . .
but, first we must believe
Jesus died for us on the cross.
The steps following are easy,
if on Jesus we keep our eyes
for, He will be our Teacher . . .
the One who leads and guides.
The stepping-stones of faith,
will take us into deep water
but, if we believe in the Word
from the truth we’ll not falter.
Each stone is a step of trust,
for the meek and compliant
if we take them one by one
on God we’ll become reliant.
The stepping-stones of faith,
are right in front of us . . .
but, they’ll be stumbling blocks
if in God we do not trust!
~~~~~~~~~~
Psalm 86:11
Teach me thy way, O Lord;
I will walk in thy truth: unite
my heart to fear thy name.
1 Peter 2:8
“And a stone of stumbling,
and a rock of offence,
even to them which stumble
at the word, being disobedient:
whereunto also they were appointed.”

Help comes to the lonely,
when we need comforting
Help comes to relieve the pain
when we are suffering.
Help comes with hope,
when there is dreariness
Help comes with rest
when there is weariness.
Help comes to bring courage,
when we are fearful
Help comes to console
when we are tearful.
Help comes with guidance,
when we need direction
Help comes with a shield
when we need protection.
Help is always with us,
to aid, advise and assist
our help is in Jesus . . .
when on His strength we enlist!

When you’re feeling dreary,
when you’re sad and blue
look up into the heavens
your hope will shine through.
For, when we focus in on,
our destiny that’s above
our despair will turn to joy
in the light of eternal love.
Where you’re feeling lonely,
when you are all alone
look up into the heavens
envision God’s holy throne.
For, when we gaze upon,
the future God has in store
our feelings of emptiness
will be with us no more.
When you’re feeling dejected,
desperate for a friend
look up into the heavens
where peace will never end.
For, when we fix our eyes,
on the Kingdom yet to come
everything else will appear
a lot less grim and glum!

God’s wonders are all around,
so many blessings for you to see
just use your imagination . . .
come now take a look with me.
You’ll see one as the sun sets,
another when it’s on its rise
casting its beauty upon us
splendor right before our eyes.
You’ll hear one in the finch’s song,
listen to the tune he sings
melodies that take on flight
soaring high on golden wings.
You’ll smell one in the sweet breeze,
blowing across the garden path
blossoms budding and spilling forth
the same scents filling up your bath.
You’ll taste one on a Sunday night,
when mom has something in the oven
and the family is gathered all around
to feast on her home cooked lovin.
It’s not too hard to find the blessings,
that come disguised to us each day
just look past all the chaos . . .
and you’ll find them beyond the fray!

Psalm 40:5
“Many, O Lord my God,

more than can be numbered.”

Oh, worthy is the Lamb,
who died for you and me
deserving of our praise
let His glory bow our knee.
For, the Lamb brings salvation,
it’s in His grace we can trust
Oh, worthy is the Lamb . . .
who turns our sins but to dust.
Oh, worthy is the Lamb,
all His sheep bless His name
He gave to us a new life
and took with Him our shame.
For, the Lamb came in love,
to save a world full of hate
Oh, worthy is the Lamb . . .
who opened heaven’s gate.
Oh, worthy is the Lamb,
so powerful and so wise . . .
one day His full glory
will radiate from our eyes!

I thank God,
it’s Good Friday
I’m so grateful
for this one day.
For my Savior,
endured for me
the pain, the shame
to set me free.
I thank God,
for Jesus dying breath
for it saved me
from eternal death.
For my sins,
on the cross He bore
so I could have life
with Him forever more.
I thank God,
it’s Good Friday
for Jesus is to Him . . .
the only pathway!

Who can fully comprehend,
God’s love that is world-wide
who can grasp the call . . .
to come and be His bride?
Who can fully understand,
a love that is without end
who can figure out
having a eternal Friend?
Who can fully embrace,
love going into eternity
who can stretch their hearts
into this place of serenity?
Who can fully fathom,
love reaching deep within
who can see the real need
for forgiveness of their sin?
Who can fully comprehend,
the love God has for everyone?
Only those who can grasp it . . .
are the ones who love His Son!

Be of good courage,
be glad exceedingly
for God wants to give you
His peace unceasingly.
He wants you to have,
a faith mightily strong
so you can make hope
your eternal song.
Of good courage be,
let your mind be at rest
God knows the cares
with today that you wrest.
He wants you to give Him,
all that is of concern
for His yoke is easy
just as is His burden.
Be of good courage,
rejoice and be joyful
for the One you trust
is loving and faithful

Sometimes down inside,
I feel this warmth within . . .
coming from a place so deep
I can’t explain just wherein.
There’s a sense of peace,
an inspired calmness
it fills my heart with joy
till it flows with gladness.
As I take it all in,
I feel a serene quietness
flooding my soul with . . .
a reassuring stillness.
I wish I could harness it,
so to always feel this way
I wish I could release it
every second of the day.
Sometimes way down deep,
a feeling rises up and swells
I know it comes from the place . . .
where the Holy Spirit dwells!

Every day is CHRISTmas . . .
if the Gift you receive
every day is a present
if the Gift you’d believe.
Each day you are offered,
the true Gift from above
each day you can decide
to accept God’s Gift of love.
Every day brings new life,
if the Gift is in yours
every day is a miracle
if the Gift you’d explore.
Every day there is peace,
if you would ask the Gift in
for the Gift of eternal life . . .
will come and live within.
Every day is CHRISTmas . . .
if in Jesus you believe
every day is a present
if God’s Gift you’d receive!

You needn’t be a Magi,
to follow the CHRISTmas Star . . .
you don’t have to make a trip
or need to come from very far.
You don’t have to bring gifts,
of gold, myrrh or frankincense
it won’t cost you a thing . . .
other then your penitence.
You needn’t be a shepherd,
to follow the CHRISTmas Star . . .
you don’t have to go anywhere
it will come to where you are.
For, Jesus is the Light shinning,
for all of the world to see . . .
He brings hope to the darkness
with His grace He’ll set you free.
You don’t have to be a Magi,
or a shepherd coming from afar
you can accept the gift of Jesus . . .
today, right from where you are!

Matthew 2:9-11
When they had heard the king,
they departed; and, lo, the star,

before them, till it came and stood
over where the young child was.
When they saw the star,
they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
And when they were come into the house,
they saw the young child with Mary his mother,
and fell down, and worshipped him:
and when they had opened their treasures,
they presented unto him gifts; gold, and
frankincense and myrrh.

A single star shinning,
on a moonless night
God’s gift to the world
wrapped up in the Light.
Wise men make the journey,
from places east and far
in search for what they know
will be the Morning Star.
With gifts they set out,
to the town of Bethlehem
to find the Babe, the Savior
who came not to condemn.
And so they came to be,
face to face with their King
knowing He was the Prince
who eternal peace would bring.
One single, solitary star,
still beckons the world today
to follow the Light that leads . . .
to the Truth, Life and Way!

Choose words consoling,
let them be wise and kind
use words that will bring
to someone peace of mind.
Use your words carefully,
think before you speak
pray before you say a thing
to be humble and meek.
Use words that will inspire,
encourage and support
let them be full of tenderness
always offering up comfort.
Control your own impulses,
use words filled with grace
let others hear loving words
their heart’s can embrace.
Our words can be healing,
bringing relief and peace
or they can be toxic . . .
by the poison they release!
~~~~~~~~

Pleasant words are

Autumn brings to the soul relief,
as hot Summer days slip to an end
God sent the season for weary hearts
to restore, repair and mend.
Unlike the Autumn trees,
that shed their changing leaves
God sent the season for failing hearts
to adhere, embrace and cleave.
Just as with the Autumn winds,
there comes a refreshing rain
God sent the season for fraying hearts
to increase, grow and gain.
The Autumn sun is slow to climb,
and dips earlier into the night
God sent the season for sleepy hearts
to rise, shine and awake in His light.
God gave to us the Autumn season,
so we could have a respite and rest
for it is the season for our beset souls
to see how much we are truly blessed!

When upset and troubled,
with all of the daily stress
cry out unto the Lord . . .
and He will surely bless.
No matter where you’re at,
no matter how close or far
cry out unto the Lord . . .
and He’ll go to where you are.
When your overwhelmed
by the storms all around
cry out unto the Lord . . .
and He won’t let you down.
No matter how deep the water,
no matter how low the tide
cry out unto the Lord . . .
and He’ll be right at your side.
For Jesus is your High Tower,
the Rock that is higher
who promises to lift us out
from under all the mire!
~~~~~~~~~
Psalm 61:2
“From the end of the earth
will I cry unto thee,
when my heart
is overwhelmed:
lead me to the rock
that is higher than I.”
Psalm 69:14
Deliver me out of the mire,
and let me not sink: let me
be delivered from them that
hate me, and out of the
deep waters.

Talk to me Lord, talk to me,
for my world’s shaking apart
and the winds of adversity
are blowing thru my heart.
Talk to me Lord and tell me,
the way You’d have me to go
speak to me thru Your Spirit
so Your path I may know.
Talk to me Lord, talk to me,
make with me a connection
for I am counting on You
to give me Your direction.
Talk to me Lord and lead me,
as I go about my way
tell me to go right or left
I need Your guidance today.
Talk to me Lord, talk to me,
let not pride keep us apart
be that still small voice . . .
speaking to my shaken heart!
~~~~~~~
Isaiah 30:21
And thine ears shall hear
a word behind thee, saying,
This is the way, walk ye in it,
when ye turn to the right hand,
and when ye turn to the left.
1 Kings 19:12
“And after the earthquake a fire;
but the Lord was not in the fire:
and after the fire a still small voice.”

Jesus is my everything,
He is my all in all . . .
there is such a peace
when on His name I call.
He fills me with hope,
gives my life purpose
daily His love for me
rises to the surface.
He is my happiness,
He is always around
in His grace and mercy
I have learned to abound.
He is my Comforter,
my Redeemer and Helper
He is to me a Refuge
in a storm my Shelter.
Jesus is my everything,
my Beginning and End
He is my Lord, my Savior
my forever eternal Friend!
~~~~~~~~
Ephesians 3:20
Now unto him that is able
to do exceeding abundantly
above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that
worketh in us,
Corinthians 9:8
And God is able to make all grace
abound toward you; that ye, always
having all sufficiency in all things,
may abound to every good work:

Today I heard from God,
He told me to keep believing
He told me to hold fast . . .
His peace I’d be receiving.
I heard Him tell me,
to take everything to Him
I heard Him say to wait
for His calm to set in.
Today I heard from God,
He told me not to doubt
He said to trust Him
as He’s working things out.
I heard Him tell me,
I have nothing to fear
I heard Him say to be strong
for He is always near.
Today I heard from God,
He told me to pray for you . . .
He told me that you needed
to hear today from Him too!

I’ve been through water’s troubling,
in the turbulence of my mind
I’ve been tossed and shaken
by thoughts of every kind.
I’ve been blown all around,
in this whirlwind called life . . .
I’ve been in many storms
leaving me full of strife.
I’ve been through tumultuous times,
that were lengthy and prolonged
I’ve been through mind twisters
where anxious thoughts spawned.
I’ve been in deep dark waters,
with no sure way to get out
I’ve been in Satan’s cesspool
filled with dread, fear and doubt.
I’ve been through water’s troubling,
of every type and every kind . . .
but, Jesus has been the bridge
guarding my heart and mind!

Philippians 4:7

which passeth all understanding,

Sometimes I want to stand,
on top of the highest hill
raise my hands to the Lord
tell Him how I really feel.
I want to shout my love out,
hear His echo back at me
I want to close my eyes tight
hoping His glory I might see.
Sometimes I want to sit,
on the tallest mountain top
sing my praises to the Lord
and never let them stop.
I want to shower on Him,
my heartfelt gratitude
I want Him to see in me
for Him a thankful attitude.
Sometimes I just want to stand,
soak up all of God’s peace . . .
I want to raise my hands up high
and my praise to Him release!
~~~~~~~~

Let my mouth be filled

Stop what you’re doing,
I want you to be awed
know and be still . . .
by the fact I am God.
Quit trying,
let Me take care of you
quit stumbling
I know just what to do.
Quick fretting,
let Me work things out
quit worrying
give Me all your doubt.
Quit panicking,
your future is in My hand
quit struggling
your days I have planned.
Be still My Child,
for I want you to know
that I am God . . .
and I love you so!

and know
that I am God”

I want to be for Jesus,
a shinning example
I want His life in mine
to glowingly resemble.
So I will need to work on,
having true humility
so that I can radiate
His loving tranquility.
I want to be for Jesus,
a vivid, promising light
I want His peace in me
to beam ever bright.
So I will need to work out,
my own salvation
so I can emit for Him
my joy and elation.
I want to be for Jesus,
what He is to me . . .
I want His love to be
all that people see!
~~~~~~~~

Let your light so shine before men,
