God's Poet

My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for the king.

My tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.

AGAPE LOVE?

AGAPE LOVE?



Human ties and bonds are fragile and

subject to unintentional and


intentional manipulations.


They are governed by fine printed stipulations.


They are influenced and swayed


by fleshly stimulations.


They are weighed and measured


against emotional fluctuations.


Jealousy and envy, inside hearts,


stomp about.


Pride and selfishness leak in and leak out.


Forgiveness is withheld and


granted with presumed and assumed clout.


Relationships are caught, then thrown back,


like riverbank trout.


Agape love? I think not.

GRATEFUL!!!

Lord,

I just want to say, "Thank You!" 

Even when I had given up on me, You DID NOT.

You did not see me as I was but as who I was to come to be.

I can not believe how much you have changed me and my life.

I can not believe the PEACE I now rest in.

It is amazing how much my outlook on life has changed.

No longer do I dread another day, searching frantically for any escape.

I am SAFE!  I am LOVED!  I am free to be ME!

How do I thank you, Lord?

How do you thank someone for the gift of freedom to LIVE life? 

I am GRATEFUL!

I love You, Lord!
