Psalm 145:18 KJV "The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth."

There are pieces of Him that I find every day
His Light here and there, a prayer said long ago
It's a tear that you held from my check as it fell
As you open the seals of my heart, lift the shell

Says, Come lean on my strength, I'm the Word
I will never reject, or my favour deny
Closer than your own breath, is my Grace, spacious sight
Through the web and the fog, Oh come sing in the night

Great delight, and sweet joy do I find when I knock
You're the door opened up, I walk through in the light
Like the first day we met, and you spoke me to be
The scales fall off my eyes, for the first time I see

With the wings of the wind, you do break loose the locks
And the fine dust it settles away, paper made
and you write on my heart the truth of your love
Engraved evermore, signed, the Potter above

All Glory and Honour is yours Almighty Father through your Son, JESUS CHRIST!

All the Glory goes to God. The Holy Spirit is very beautiful. I think HE gives us all different gifts that will make use of the areas where we are weakest. Take me for example. I was always a terrible writer but I loved music and songs and poems. So I think HE took that love in me and made the weakness of expressing it as only HE could do if that makes sense. OR that is the way I understand it for me anyway. I am glad you find it encouraging and I hope it is a Blessing to you.

Have a wonderful evening and God Bless you.
