PSALM 63:1-11 (KJV) Longing for fellowship with God.

1.  O GOD, thou art my God; early will I seek thee:  my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, whre no water is;
2.  To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
3.  Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
4.  Thus will I bless thee while I live:  I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5.  My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
6.  When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
7.  Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
8.  My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
9.  But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10.  They shall fall by the sword:  they shall be a portion for foxes.
11.  But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

THE PERFECT PLAN

Do you realize

God gave up His son

and Christ laid down His life

to become the ultimate

and perfect

sacrifice?



For us,

you and I,

to be forgiven,

saved from exclusion,

and to gain inclusion

to eternal life.



Not to mention

the provisions

of spiritual riches,

which enables us,

in holy righteousness,

to stand.



My prayer is,

we would be graced

with the insight

to fully understand,

the Excellency

of God's Sovereignty

to orchestrate

and execute,

Salvation,

the

Perfect Plan.

TRANSPARENCY

 

 

 

This Is My Confession

 

I shy away from

and resist spiritual perfection.

For I do not welcome

what it would mean for me.

It would require maturity

and a high level of accountability.

It would require reverent submission

and service, done willing.

No longer acceptable

to live life emotionally,

I would be expected to

walk faithfully and

to live life obediently.

I would have to let God

and let go of me.

My life could no longer be

a script lived passively,

but would be transformed

to a life I chose

to live freely.

 

Patient, Lord, please be with me.

Continue your work in me.

Perfect me.

A Poem Dedicated To Real Friendships

Friendship

We are friends, real friends.

Our friendship is not based on the

played out notion of having
our selfish needs met.
It is an agape relationship,
modeled after a godly covenant.

Love, honor and respect
are our friendship benefits.

We are not in a competition and
 we do not view each as rivals.

We stand as sisters, in agreement

and pray on one accord
for both our survivals.

We do not require each other
to dim our lights,

but instead we encourage each other
to shine them bright.

We do not tear each other down,

but purpose in our hearts to uplift.

God blessed us with each other.

Our friendship is a special gift.

We are friends, real friends.
