The Peaceful Writer
Fix your mind on words the Lord wants to share, For he gives messages that are precious and rare. You can trust him to guide every sentence you make, As his peace gently settles your heart as you create. When your thoughts are tangled or drift out of sight, He will brighten your mind with
Hope that Flies
When folks go searching far and wide For hope that somehow likes to hide, They are looking in all the wrong places— When hope can always be found in Jesus. People chase after money and fame, As if they can win the “lotto” game. But all that glitter, gold, and stuff Can’t fill a heart
Writing in Jesus’ Name
When writing feels heavy and hope’s running thin And you stare at the page, wondering where to begin, Remember, dear writer, that with Jesus you can start, And he’ll help you with words that flow from the heart. Don’t look for your hope in applause or a prize, For numbers and comments can fool weary
Godly Sends or Worldly Trends
The Amish were in. Then the Vampires took flight. Next, an Amish vampire book came out overnight. But chasing what’s hot is a game that will fade. By the time you arrive, a new fad’s been made. You can follow the crowd, or you can take heed, And write what the Spirit has planted as
He Is God
When thunder is crashing and waves start to roar, When worries come knocking and pound at your door, Just hush all the noise and the fear that stirs within. Be still in your heart and let his peace come in. He whispers through chaos, “Now don’t be afraid. The storm didn’t form where my power’s
Like Father, Like Son
“I do what I see,” the Son said with a grin, “I don’t start the work till my Father steps in. Whatever he’s doing, I’m eager to obey, For his will and mine walk the same way.” When the Father is giving, the Son gives as well. When mercy is moving, his heart starts to
Timeliness
There’s a time to get moving and a time to sit still, A time to say yes and the best time to say, “I will.” There’s time to arrive and a time we should prepare. People treat time differently, which doesn’t seem fair. Some folks are up so early that many wonder why. They rise
When Life Hurts
When life feels too heavy, too dark, or too deep, When you’re tired from crying and too worn to sleep, When the world is spinning, but you stand there still— Just be sure you are held in God’s love and his will. When pain makes you sit and sigh with a groan, When troubles feels
Given to Give
If you want writing friends, be as friendly as you can be, Not a grouch in a corner, nor an isolated, lonely tree. Care for publishers you meet as you go on your way, And the love that you offer might return someday. Dreaming to see your novel on a bookstore shelf, Is not the
Living the Dream
Lord, you show me how to live, the best and only way. Not left to wander around, you guide me every day. Your presence fills my heart, so rich and overflowing. Like sunshine dispels darkness, you are brightly showing. The joy you give is not the kind that fades or slips away. It brightens the
Gratitude
The Pharisees stood puzzled, and some were upset. “Why heal a Samaritan? He’s not like us, not yet.” Jesus didn’t play their game of deserving God’s care. He loved and healed all kinds of people everywhere. Some think they earn blessings by the good they do. “Give this. Follow rules,” they say. “God
Straight Honest Talk
Some folks like to speak with a heavenly tone, As if every idea they have is God’s very own. But wisdom is humble, and truth must be clear. Saying, “God told me,” seldom suits the ear. The truth of God’s word will stand without boasts. We don’t need “God said to me” included in our
