2 Timothy 4:18

"And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work,

and will preserve me unto His heavenly kingdom:

to whom be the glory for ever and ever.

Amen. "

Thank You Abba-Daddy for protecting me.

For sheltering me from the storm.

And calming the most reckless seas.

O! What a wretched sinner am I!

Yet you cast out all fear and darkness,

with Your e'er so sweet light.

Thank You Abba-Daddy.

Oh Lord You're Beautiful.

Oh Lord, You're beautiful
Your face is all I seek.
For when Your eyes are on this child,
Your grace abounds to me.

Oh Lord, You're beautiful
Your face is all I seek.
For when Your eyes are on this child.
Your grace abounds to me.

I want to take Your Word and shine it all around;
First, help me just to live it, Lord.
And when I'm doing well
Help me to never seek a crown;
For my reward is giving glory to You.

Oh Lord, please light the fire
that once burned bright and clear
Replace the lamp of my first
love that burns with holy fear

Oh Lord, You're beautiful
Your face is all I seek.
For when Your eyes are on this child
Your grace abounds to me.
Your grace abounds to me.

Lord, You are good and Your mercy endureth for ever.

Clarity.

Grant me clarity.

Show me the paths.

Scrape the dirt from my eyes.

Give me strength,

For I am not ashamed of the gospel.

Redeem me.

Clothe me with the armor of the Spirit.

And guide me. guide me. guide me.

To gaze into Your eyes and see what you see.

Oh my God how precious you are.

More then the lilly that lays by the waste side.

More valuable then gold.

Brighter then the morning star.

You are my beloved!

And oh how I am YOURS!

"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods; there is a rapture on the lonely shore; there is society where none intrudes; by the deep sea and, the music in its roars; I love not man the less, but Nature more."

-Lord Byron

Prologue.

For learning about wisdom and instruction,

For understanding words of insight,

For gaining instruction in wise dealing, righteousness, justice, and equity;

To teach shrewdness to the simple, knowledge and prudence to the young --

Let the wise also hear and gain in learning,

And the discerning acquire skill,

To understand a proverb and a figure,

The words of the wise and their riddles.

The Fear of The Lord is the beginning of knowledge;

fools despise wisdom and instruction.

- Proverbs 1:1-7

No poetry today.

Ok, I usually write poetry or lyrics to explain how I'm feeling. I don't know if that is exactly the best way to express emotions however, for me it's perfect. I understand that this time it isn't either of those types of writing. Today there will not be any poetry. I need to write today, just to write. I can't think of any clever rhyme schemes or pretty words that flow together nicely. I just want to know something.. Why do we put limits on God? Why do we take something so simple and beautiful and make it difficult to understand? I mean, as for me, I don't un

derstand God's love. I know that it is unfathomable and deep and intimate. I also know that as humans trying to achieve it's understanding is physically and mentally impossible. So I don't try to understand it. I just know that it is there and I love it for being there. I know that it is always going to fill me up and create a peace that I can't explain. So, I love it for being there. God is here. It would be so stupid for me to say He's not. Even when I'm down and out, God is here. I don't know, I feel like the reason why most people don't come to Christ and enter into God's LOVE, is because they can't wrap their minds around it. Or, if they know Christ they could leave for the very same reason.. They aren't used to something so crazy. They aren't used to something so pure. So they try to figure it out. How can someone love me if He knows everything about me? How can that love exist? I just look

at them and say, " Stop trying to figure it out.. because you won't, the beautiful part of His love, is that we can't understand, that's the miracle of it all. Why destroy it by trying to figure it out. " We are H

is beloved's! HE SEES US COMING TOWARD HIM AND THAT'S WHAT DRIVES HIM CRAZY FOR US!! HE SEES IT! I don't know, God is all around. God's love is all around. Stop running from it and just grab it.

He knows it's what you ultimately what you want. Love, right?

So grab at the most pure love.

what a waste.

What a waste to not have my eyes fixed on you.

What a waste to see what wasn't true.

What a waste to have her block my mind.

What a waste to look for what I didn't need to find.

What a waste of heart,

I guess a fresh new start.

Now it's time to restore,

To renew the love that slightly tore.

To trust no one but you,

And to let not a single soul through.

Am I upset?

Of course.

I let my guard down,

And now I must feel remorse.

To let someone else take your Holy crown.

How foolish of me!

God, how could I have been too blind to see?

Pick up the pieces of where I left off,

Seal my wounds.

I won't let the enemy win this time.
