SONSHINE

Sonshine--
Warming through,
Reaching the undergrowth
Of hurt and shame
To make it better;
Healing broken bones
Of self-esteem.
The Son is bright enough
To bore through every
Fog-choked moment.
He’s warm enough
To heal each break
And soothe each ache.
He’s full of grace and glory!

Borrow Nothing if Tomorrow is Trouble
Project: Blessing

Leave every anxiety at the cross.
I will keep you,
You shall bear my words of comfort to others.
You have need of testing to develop
Your character.
Accept the trials of life as they come
and look for the good in each.
Do you feel you must stand alone,
on your own strength?
Why should you think that now,
in this place and situation?
You cannot solve any problem
while you hold it in your hands.
Christ allowed Satan to sift Peter like wheat,
Why did he allow that?
Because Peter apparently had some things
that needed sifting.
Christ never allows Satan a sieve unless
the object (me) could use a sieve.
Imagine Christ saying:
“You can either let me prune you,
or I can use the devil to scare it out of you.”
Satan knows his time is short.
Satan’s motto is “whatever works.”
My motto is “I made it.”

God's Heart

God's heart is there within us all
Listen and heed His precious call
Believe in Him and He shall send
You up to a place that has no end

For it is Heaven He made for you
A beautiful land with a sky so blue
Rest up there and be much at ease
God made Heaven for us to please

Our lives here on Earth are a mess
Be assured God loves you no less
Although everyone was born in sin
He will open up Glory and let you in

Just pray to Him the sinners prayer
He will peel those sins layer by layer
Happy will be the day that you arrive
Up from the dead He will make alive
