Easy Peasy
Lord, you spoke and the stars did a spectacular dance, They popped into place, and none of it was by chance. With power and flair beyond anything we can see, You said, “Let there be,” and everything came to be. You painted the skies with a heavenly hand, And splashed all the oceans across the
Thrilling Work
I once took a job for a dollar or two. My joy didn’t last, as such labors will do. The pay was okay, but I often felt ignored— Until I focused my work to please the Lord. He doesn’t pay a salary in silver or gold, But he gives me peace that never grows old.
Love Too Big to Measure
I once tried to measure how wide love could be, I stretched out my ruler from sea unto sea. But love kept on going. It laughed at my line, Saying, “Child, this love is completely divine.” I tried to weigh mercy, how heavy or deep, But grace overflowed till it buried the heap. Its height
Practice for Better or Worse
I once heard a teacher, as teachers will do, Say, “Practice makes perfect,” but that wasn’t true. We know our sloppy methods, repeated with pride, Will only grow worse, the more they’re applied. If practice means perfect, then tell me, dear friend, Why do some improve while some just pretend? It’s o
Truth that Still Flies
You dream of the stories your heart wants to tell, Of novels that sparkle and poems that swell. But when words won’t come and ideas seem few, Be thankful. God’s can write along with you. You stare at the blank page and groan, “Oh dear me. My mind’s out of ink, and my heart’s out
Praise on Repeat
I woke up this morning with the sun in my eyes, And thought, “What a gift to see blue in the skies.” But then came a whisper, so gentle and true, “Be thankful for more than what’s easy to view.” We thank him for blessings we easily see, But miss all the moments that quietly
Supreme Co-Author
I thought my great story would sparkle and shine, With chapters that unfolded on my grand design. But God had a plot with a much larger view. “Dear writer,” he said, “let me write with you.” I plotted my timelines. I hastened the pace, But edits from Heaven kept slowing my race. I grumbled and
Trust Is a Must
When life feels quite good, it’s easy to say, “I trust in the Lord every step of the way.” But when storms rumble and plans go awry, Faith starts to tremble, and questions fly high. “Is God able? Is he willing? Is he even near?” In the silence, our hearts can begin to fear. Trust
Always Say Yes
When God whispers softly, “Will you obey?” Don’t hesitate. You should say yes right away. Each time you answer with faith, not with fear, You’ll find that his blessings are drawing near. His promises sparkle. They shimmer and gleam. But they only come true when we pursue his dream. They flourish lik
The Lord’s Way
We live in a world where folks like to say, “I’m owed what I want, and I want it today.” We stomp and demand. We pout when denied. But joy won’t flourish where our egos reside. We pray for an abundance, for riches and fame, Then grumble at God when suffering came. We ask for
Trusting Writer
Oh, writer, take caution and sharpen your sight, For glitter and glamour can trick you by night. Not every shining offer is golden or true. Some sparkle to dazzle the dreamer in you. A voice may come calling, “We’ll publish your tale. Just pay us a fee, and your book cannot fail.” But promises puffe
Good Enough Yet?
“I’ll join when I’m ready,” aspiring writers will say, “When my words aren’t so silly, clumsy, or gray.” But here’s the big secret, the truth from the start: Each masterpiece began as a bad work of art. We all start with scribbles and sentences wild, Like crayons gone sideways by a restless child. B
