A LIGHT IGNITED
"Turn out the light,"
Yelled the world around me,
But in my soul
A light had been ignited,
That could not be extinguished,
A light that would burn
Like the strong noonday sun,
Casting an illuminating glow
That would turn
The whole world upside down,
A light ignited
By the Lord Jesus Christ
To burn forever.
A DIVINE PORTRAIT
God,the Divine Artist,
Paints a portrait in your life.
You are His palette.
Here and there,
With skillful and masterly strokes,
He adds a colour,a shade,a line.
You are a beautiful painting,
Becoming a Masterpiece
In His loving Hands.
God views His painting
from His own perspective.
Trust the Eternal Creator,
His ways are perfect
and His plans are wise.
Every child of God
Is a Vessel of Glory,
A divine Masterpiece
By Heaven's Supreme Artist,
Crafted by Holy Hands.
We arrive in Heaven's Glory
Completed at last.
THE DESERT PLACE
Come into the desert place
And rest awhile,
Restore your weary soul,
Making yourself whole
In perfect peace,
Perpetual communion with God.
Drink from the desert well
That never dries.
Renew your health,
Restore your strength,
And be rejuvenated.
CHOSEN BY CHRIST
The heart He fills
Can never be emptied,
His love is without end.
The life He touches
Can never be the same,
His personality so permeates and fills.
The person chosen by Christ
Can serve Him best
By surrendering to the Divine Will,
And the love of Christ
Like a warm sunbeam
Envelops his entire being.
LUMINOUS LIGHT
Luminous light
Illumined the room
Of my soul
As streams of strength
Surged simultaneously
Through my spirit.
A never-failing faith
Impressed itself indelibly
Upon my mind.
It was
A truly tender touch
That took my tempest-tossed soul
By surprise,
The tonic touch
Of divine love,
The truly final termination
Of years of searching,
Of questions without answers,
The tout ensemble
Of an endless quest.
FIERY FAITH
Flagging,floundering spirits
Are revived
In the labyrinthine landscape
Of the sea
Of faith.
Faith has a face,
Transfused with wisdom,
Tempered by suffering,
Transmitting an air
Of the most fragrant fortitude.
Faith has a fiery,far-away look,
An incredibly fast-moving brain,
And an extremely determined air
Of dash and daring.
Faith has a flair for firmly believing
In the fruitful and ultimate fulfillment
Of all God's promises.
Faith is an inspiring breath of fresh air
In the dark,lonesome dungeons
Of doubt and despair.
Faith struggles to persevere,
Struggles to hope,
Struggles to endure,
Struggles to live.
Fiery faith
Aways involves
A struggle
With the unknown.
THE WILDERNESS
The wilderness
is a place of renewal
and restoration,
a place of vision
and hope.
God gives us
a new perspective
on life,
with the prospect
of new promises
and fresh insights.
It's a time of hope
and a new vision
for the future.
Revel in it,
the vision ripens
in its own time.
HARPS OF GOLD
The sound of music
Fills the air,
As gentle winds
Strum softly
On the strings
Of harps of gold.
Words golden in tone
Can be heard
Sounding clear
As the music swells
And crashes around,
Sweeping on and on,
In a wealth of song,
Reverberating awesomely
Through the hall
In a crescendo of happiness.
It is eternal sunshine
In the soul.
Come,buoyant heart,
Let us storm
The gates of heaven.
LISTEN TO GOD
I come to God
To receive
Words of Wisdom
And Truth,
Heavenly Secrets.
I listen to God,
The Everlasting Truth,
The Divine Inspirer,
The Enlightener,
The Rewarder
Of all men.
I respond to God,
the Eternal Advisor,
the Supreme Guide,
the Divine Master,
the Creator.
THE DIVINE ARTIST
I feel so little
Against the might
Of the Lord,
Yet I feel
He wants to use me
As a chosen vessel
In His hands.
I'm truly blessed to be
An instrument
In the hands
Of the Mighty Musician,
A piece of clay
In the hands of
The Master Potter,
A lovely painting
In the hands of
The Divine Artist.
