Sticky Note From God ~06.29.22~

Proverbs 12:25

In Solitude ~

Sometimes in solitude,
I sit quietly . . .
and open up my heart
to God silently.

As I clear my mind,
of all my earthly care
I offer up to Him
my indebted prayer.

I let my thoughts flow,
with my thankfulness
to show Him the depth
of my gratefulness.

I tell Him I’m excited,
for the things I can’t see
how they compel me . . .
closer to Him to be.

Sometimes in silence,
with God I sit alone . . .
so He can make Himself
to me even deeper known!

~~~~~~~~

1 Corinthians 2:10

But God hath revealed them
unto us by his Spirit: for the
Spirit searcheth all things, yea,
the deep things of God.

I am Amazed ~

I fear God for one reason,
and it’s not that I’m afraid
I fear His mighty power . . .
for, it leaves me amazed.

I stare in astonishment,
at the works of His hand
how all came together
just by His command.

I worship Him and marvel,
as I gaze out into space
in awe I stand in wonder
of His mercy and His grace.

I tremble and I shake,
my understanding fails me
for, it’s hard to comprehend
all I can and cannot see.

I fear God for one reason,
but, it’s not that I am fearful
I fear Him because I know . . .
He is mightily powerful!

~~~~~~~~

Psalm 33:8

“Let all the earth fear the Lord:
let all the inhabitants of the world
stand in awe of him.”

Romans 10:17

A Love Letter From God ~

Today I received,
from God a love letter
I opened up my Bible
here is what I read . . .

I am your Creator,
I formed and molded you
before you were born . . .
I knitted you together too.

I’m the remedy to your needs,
I am your soothing balm
I’m the peace in your storm
I am that voice in the calm.

I’m all the grace you need,
in Me there’s eternal life
I came so that I could bear
the burden of your strife.

I am your staff of comfort,
I will shield and protect you
through life’s complexities
together we’ll get through.

I am the anchor of your soul,
a safe place to run and hide
for I will never forsake you . . .
I’ll always be at your side.

I’m the lamp unto your way,
with my Word I will guide
I am the One who you feel
stirring up deep inside.

I am your Creator,
I knew you from the start
that is why I gave to you . . .
for Me a loving heart!

~~~~~~~~

1 John 4:16

And we have known and
believed the love that God
hath to us. God is love; and
he that dwelleth in love
dwelleth in God, and God in him.

A Life Devoted ~

A life devoted,
a life reflective
is a life under
God’s directive.

For it finds pleasure,
in doing His will
as it knows to wait
and to be still.

A life delighted,
a life captivated
is a life to God
that is concentrated.

For it meditates,
day in and day out
rids itself daily
of worry and doubt.

A lived devoted,
a life delighted
is a life that is
spiritual sighted!

~~~~~~~~

Psalm 1:2

But his delight is in the law
of the Lord; and in his law
doth he meditate day and night.

Living The Good Life ~

A life living good,
to God is obedient
it knows for success
its the only ingredient.

For a life that lives well,
follows God’s leading
and everyday its Bible
it’s studying and reading.

Living a good Life,
takes courage and guts
for the rest of the world
will think it is nuts.

But it knows its a pilgrim,
just passing through
and doing good works
is what it needs to do.

Living the good life,
can be time consuming
but the end results . . .
are worth our pursuing!

~~~~~~~~

Ephesians 2:10

For we are his workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus unto
good works, which God hath
before ordained that we should
walk in them.

love, joy, peace, longsuffering,

A Peaceful Life ~

A peaceful mind,
is full of calm
the Word of God
is its healing balm.

It frets not about,
what may be
for Lord it puts
its trust in Thee.

A peaceful heart,
is full of ease
for with sin
it does not tease.

It’s not to the world,
even slightly conformed
instead in Jesus its been
completely transformed.

A peaceful life,
is a life worth living
for it knows to pray
for every single thing!

~~~~~~~~

Philippians 4:6

Be careful for nothing;
but in every thing by prayer
and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests
be made known unto God.

that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have
tribulation: but be of good cheer;

The Seeds Your Are Sowing ~

Some scatter seeds of anxiety,
and harvest nothing but fear
some collect in their memory
the reason for all their tears.

Some spread seeds of distrust,
and collect grains of doubt
some gather up their losses
shutting all their blessings out.

Some cast seeds of excess,
and reap in what they sow
some collect worldly pleasures
thinking God will never know.

Some throw seeds of greed,
and collect envy and pride
some lose their hope and faith
when their will with God’s collide.

Some scatter seeds of doubt,
and harvest nothing but fear
but those who mock not God
sow the seeds of repentant tears!

~~~~~~~~~~

Galatians 6:7

“Be not deceived;
God is not mocked: for
whatsoever a man soweth,
that shall he also reap.”

The Best Place To Go ~

Some people look to family,
for their encouragement
some seek their pastors
for spiritual nourishment.

Some people turn to books,
offering them self-care
some search their computer
for their health and welfare.

But, I have found for me,
the best place I can go
is to my Bible daily
where living waters flow.

For between the pages,
there I find my best friend
for Jesus promised me
He’d be there til the end.

Some people turn to people,
some turn to other things
but, my Bible pages I turn
for the peace I know it brings!

~~~~~~~~

John 14:27

Peace I leave with you,
my peace I give unto you:
not as the world giveth,
give I unto you. Let not
your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.

Psalm 25:9

The Mind of Jesus ~

Oh, to have the heart of Christ,
to truly love one and all . . .
to forgive those who stumble
and lift up the ones who fall.

Then I’d have the mind of Jesus,
I’d see others deepest need
I’d minister to their lost souls
and to a faith in Him I’d lead.

Oh, to have the life of Christ,
to see all in His saving light
to heal the contrite heart
and give to all eternal sight.

Then I’d have the mind of Jesus,
I’d take His Word across the land
I’d lead the lost to His Kingdom
deliver the unsaved into His hand.

Oh, to have the heart of Christ,
beating deep inside me . . .
would be to  think just like Jesus
oh, how wonderful that would be!

Good Morning Quote ~03.29.22~

Life Is Full Of Lessons ~

Life is full of lessons,
some are hard, some not
some we understand quickly
others a lifetime are fought.

We need to examine,
what God wants use to learn
for what we take from them
will decide to whom we turn.

Life is full of experiences,
some easy, some difficult
some we undergo in our youth
others when we’re an adult.

We need to analyze,
to study and to explore
so we can formulate
with Him a daily rapport.

Life is full of lessons,
and God wants us to learn . . .
they are for our own good
so the truth we can discern!

~~~~~~~~

Proverbs 3:1-2

My son, forget not my law;
but let thine heart keep
my commandments:

For length of days, and long life,
and peace, shall they add to thee.

The grass withereth,
the flower fadeth:
but the word of our
God shall stand for ever.

Colossians 3:16

Hanging On By A Thread ~

Is your faith hanging,
on by a thin thread . . .
are your thoughts filled
with fear and dread?

Then you need to take,
a hold of your hope
and let the Word of God
give you the skills to cope.

Is your trust dangling,
right in front of you
are you warn out and down
by all that you do?

Then you need to take,
a hold of the slack
and let the Word of God
give your strength back.

Is your faith slacking,
is you trust aground
well turn to God’s Word
and your hope will rebound!

Growing In Jesus ~

Grow in grace today,
plant faith in your heart
let it root itself in love . . .
and more grace it’ll start.

Grow in wisdom today,
let it dig its way into you
let it branch out and touch
everything you say and do.

Grow in humility today,
let meekness bud inside
so compassion can begin
to develop and divide.

Grow in charity today,
let is spring up and rise
make a contribution
no matter what the size.

Grow in knowledge today,
harvest from the Word
reap from the truth you find
then share all you’ve heard.

Grow in grace today,
grow in knowledge too
grow so others will see . . .
Jesus growing in you!

“Grow in grace, and in

Starting A New Year ~

I’m starting a New Year,
putting the last behind . . .
for, God has a purpose
in this one for me to find.

I don’t know what it’ll be,
not sure where it’ll lead
but, God will guide me
as His word I read.

Not sure what to expect,
don’t yet know the direction
but, God will steer me
if I give Him my attention.

I don’t know what I will do,
so, I’m praying as I go . . .
for, I know God has a plan
and the way He will show.

I’m starting a New Year,
just like the one before . . .
trusting God with the future
whatever may be in store!
