    Do Nothing Out Of Self Ambition Or Pride ( Phil.2 )

    Rather Be Humble And Help Others, It is not that we should never think about ourselves but rather it is that we should never think of only ourselves. Of course Jesus gave Himself completely and without grumbling did things for others first. Of course that is the ideal way but we have families...

    Teach Me Your Way Lord ( Psalm 86 )

    That I May Walk In Your Truth, A pilgrims walk to seek the truth and love of his God. A journey that everyone of us needs to take. There is no perfect walk to our God. There are Hills and there are valleys; there are stumbles and falls. Yet we must climb and we must descend and we need to...

    For I Am Not Ashamed Of The Gospel ( Romans1:16 )

    Because It Is The Power Of God, In our lives God is always present even if for us at times, we are not able to see Him because of the fog. Through Him, we receive His grace all day and every day and yet some days we ignore His graces because something else has distracted us and we become...

    So He Said To Zerubbabbel: This Is The Word Of The Lord ( Zech 4 )

    Yes I hear you and agree it is somewhat sever. Yet scripture quotes in John that there is no grey, either it is white or it is black. So that gives us a great incentive to strive for the white. Still there is always redemption so not all is lost, smiles.

    So He Said To Zerubbabbel: This Is The Word Of The Lord ( Zech 4 )

    Not By Might Nor By Power But By My Spirit, How wonderful is our Lord who fills our hearts with grace. He does not threaten nor does He force but He continues to fill us by His graces. This is for our own sake so that we may grasp and accept Him in all His power of His dominion. While He...

    A Walk In The Summer Park

    Come sit in a park with me, Upon the grass and we will see, What heaven created and has been, Beauty forever, endlessly seen. We'll talk about my west, Not to see which is the best. And visit your east, Imagining the most and the least. I'll pick a flower for You my Lord And share life's...

    If Today You Hear His Voice ( Hebrews: 3:15 )

    Harden Not Your Hearts, Paul is encouraging everyone, especially new comers to stay listen and understand and believe in the love of God. It was for their strength so they could be together as people of our Lord. Warnings not to stray or rebel or falter. For the strong to encourage and help...

    Whoever Claims To Live In Him ( 1John2 )

    Must Live As Jesus Did, Who knows if even with our best efforts if we will ever reach that height. I don't think that is the point though. Each of us needs to strive to do the best we can do, to to do what is right rather than wrong as much as we can and to live in the Spirit as Jesus lived...

    Cleanse Me And I Will Be Clean ( Psalm51 )

    Wash Me And I Will Be Whiter Than Snow, What beautiful imagery. Striving to be closer to God and being purified always. That is our goal to always live with God and in God. By the power of the Holy Spirit we are given the tools necessary to accomplish that. The struggle is not easy though...

    Wake Up Sleeper Rise From The Dead ( ehp. 5 )

    Christ Will Shine On You, Scripture shows that we should never neglect our Lord. It is possible to drift away from Him little by little by not persevering in our relentless pursuit of holiness as well as constant prayer. On the contrary, being diligent is the way we will grow and improve...

    The Lord Is My Strength He Makes My Feet Like The Feet Of A Deer ( Hab.3 )

    He Enables Me To Tread On The Heights, Habakkuk is in deep prayer and poetically describes what he experiences. After much time arguing with God, he finally starts to surrender to Him. And it is a process for most of us I believe. I believe we struggle with some things and even argue with...

    When The Spirit Grows Weak Within Me ( Psalm 142 )

    It Is You Who Watches Over My Way, When our burdens in life are too many, when our loads get too heavy and we want to give up, God says no that is not the way. There will always be road blocks and detours in life, many are ones that we have no control over. While we have no control over them...

    Echoes In Hawthorne

    A meadow of tall grass, Islands of flowers, A single tall tree, rests in the middle. I sit down in its shade, Close my eyes, A bundle of grapes at my side. A bell rings, in the distance, Not often but persistent. A bird chirps above or behind me Another sings somewhere, Maybe just in my mind...
