When misunderstandings happen Why are you angry?How did I offend?I meant only goodTo encourage a friend. I’ve been where you were,Not exact, but close by,So why did my wordsWith your actions deny? Why did you not talkWith me, let me know whyYou didn’t like what I said?You just said “Goodbye!” Thought I was helpingExplain what … Continue reading Why Are You Angry?

No Tears on Outside
He’s hurting, he’s crying,No tears on outside.He’s injured, he’s stirring,All now kept inside. He’s failing for wordsTo say all that he feels.He cannot express,Cannot make his appeals. His outside is inside,Trapped now in his skin,Knows not where to turn,And his faith’s wearing thin. He doesn’t know who to trust.Who really cares?And so he says nothing,In … Continue reading No Tears on Outside

Christ was crucified in deathAnd He breathed His final breath.Laid Him in a tomb, they did,While His followers, oh, they hid. Women at the tomb they sawHe was risen, oh what awe.Told His followers. They did, too.What He promised, He came through. Shown Himself He did to manySo their doubts they’d not have any.He ascended … Continue reading He Was Risen
When God Is Silent
Do you ever have timesWhen God is silent?You know that on HimYou are so reliant. If to you He speaks not,You have none to say.You call out to Him,Seek His face for always.

The Color of Roses
Roses are red, we think. Are they?But do they come in pink and yellow?The colors of roses are varied,Just like the hearts of every fellow. We all don’t look alike, do we?We come in all shapes and all sizes.We have varied personalities,And some come in various disguises. But we all have one thing in common.We … Continue reading The Color of Roses

“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

Broken Hearts
An Original Work / December 14, 2012Based off Jeremiah 31:15 (cf. Matt. 2:18) Weeping in Ramah; her children no more.Rachel is weeping; her comfort forlorn.Jesus is waiting; her comforter be,When she calls on Him down on bended knee.He has provided our sins’ sacrifice,When He died for our sin, paying the price. Our hearts are broken; … Continue reading Broken Hearts
Trying Times
Trying times are all around us,Circumstances, they confound us,Memories past they sometimes hound us,Give them all to God, He’ll help us. Hurtful memories often linger,Raw emotions they may trigger,Makes no sense, but so go figure.God is sovereign, and He’s bigger! Sometimes people unforgiving,They’ve not been where you are living,Not in Christ are they believing,Listening to … Continue reading Trying Times

The Senses
What’s that you hear?Whispers in the darkness,Rumors flying everywhere,Truth not to be found. What’s your response?Listen with attention?Engaging yourself in it?Or, do you walk away? What’s that you see?Sexual innuendosSo loaded with perversion,Purity not found. Do you give answer?Or entertain it?Join in with laughter?Or, you reject it? What’s that you taste?More food than needed –Wisdom … Continue reading The Senses
