Faith With Undying Love

May your heart be touched with faith and peace;
May your holy commitment to God increase.
May joy visit you each and every day,
With a grateful heart may you allow it to stay.
May light shine brighter and brighter within,
A constant beam that beckons others and draws them in,
May hope be alive and overflow,
Like a sweet balm of encouragement that reaches lost souls.
My life-new feel freer and freer each day;
May your heart be filled with worship and praise.
May your undying love be visible outside and within;
For Jesus who died for you draws you to Him.
His undying favor rests upon the redeemed new light;
Leading to the forever-place in His sight.

Ephesians 6:24
Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.

Jeremiah 31:3
The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love:
therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

Peaceful Pete By Brenda Drake

Some ugly and great emotions have been given a name.  This poem tells of Angry Andrew and Peaceful Pete. 
Hope its message is clear. We do not need to nurture or entertain anger when we follow after Jesus.

Peaceful Pete

Angry Andrew comes knocking at Peaceful Pete’s door
Peaceful Pete says I’m sorry I do not entertain you anymore
But Peaceful Pete must be careful for when he turns his back
Angry Andrew can easily slip through the cracks
He knows all about him, he has been burned by anger’s fire
But since he met Jesus and has His Spirit acquired
He has the ability in Jesus’ name
To conquer – the Living Water has put out the angry flames!

Psalms 34:14
Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

Romans 5:1
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

Romans 8:37
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

I Lift my Heart By Brenda Drake

Prayer enters into His presence. He has rest for or soul.

There is a place we can enter where only we fit.  It is a perfect place of rest; even when storms rage outside and within.  Trouble, fear, and worry must be left at the door. In our time of prayer trust and faith in God’s love and care for every part of our life is restored.  It is a sweet time of willing transparency in the presence of the lover of our soul.

I Lift my Heart

I lift my heart to the One that in darkness sees clear.
In my devotions He chases away my inner fears.
Deep in the vast places unseen within;
The rumbling, raging waters are known by Him.
He says to the turbulent sea “Be Still.”
And assures I walk in the Father’s will.
By faith I know our steps are not to Him a surprise.
For all things are evident and clear in His eyes.
Every heavy burden I toss at His feet to stay.
Every dark thought contrary to God’s Word is cast away.
I will continue to lift up my face in faith to Him,
He is able and on Him I depend.
I pray fervently to be His reflection
I break open my heart for His close inspection.
He fixes and mends and joy is revived.
When Jesus makes my heart comfortable for Him to abide!

John 14:1
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

Hebrews 4:16
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
