Healer of Hearts
When your heart has a crack or a rip or a tear, The Lord sees it all, and he’s right there to care. He patches the pieces. He makes them all new. He smiles as he whispers, “I’m healing you too.” He wraps every wound with love that won’t break. He holds you so close
Choosing to Hear
Do you want to hear God when you sit down to write? Not just morning or evening—but into the night? His voice isn’t hidden. It’s steady and clear. But you must make the choice to truly hear. There are so many voices that clamor and shout. Some whisper within, and some chatter without. The market
The Writer’s Specialty
You’ve got some big dreams and a keyboard at hand, But you’re not quite sure where you’re meant to land. You highlight, edit, rewrite, type … and then stop. You wonder if writing will take you to the top. Some folks find their path when they’re barely age two. They know they’re gifted and what
Grumps and Gigglers
In the land of the grumps and the gigglers, you see, There’s a choice in your heart—who you want to be. You can frown. You can grumble. You can sulk in a stew. But the chooser of moods, dear friend, is you. Your attitude’s not a thing you catch like the flu. It’s a thing
Walking by Grace
I wanted to hurry, to rush, and to go, But God gently whispered, “Take it slow.” I tapped on my watch and frowned at the sky. “Why wait,” I said, “when time’s flying by?” I charted my schedule. I mapped out my days. I labeled my plans in a hundred bold ways. But just when
Light in the Darkness
God made you to shine, so don’t dim your glow. Don’t bury the spark that’s designed to show. The world needs to see that God’s love is real, So don’t hide your candle or cover your zeal. A lamp in a basket won’t brighten the night. It’s meant to stand tall and give off its
Strength for the Journey
When I feel lost, and the road isn’t clear, And all that I see is confusion and fear, God whispers, “Come closer. I’ll show you the way,” And suddenly the darkness turns into day. He points to a path that I didn’t yet know, And says, “Take my hand. I’ll help you to go.” The
Harvest of Planted Words
You say, “I’m not clever. I don’t have the knack. My brain’s like a freight train on a one-way track.” But God made you special. Unique. One of kind, With treasures and tales tucked away in your mind. You were taught to neatly color inside the lines, To follow school rules and obey all the
Gone for Good
As far as the sunrise from sunset will go, That’s how far our sins have been tossed, don’t you know? They’re gone and forgotten, not hiding nearby. They’re out past the reach of the farthest blue sky. The Lord in his mercy has carried them far, Past moonlight and starlight and each distant star. If
Writing Companion
I once knew a writer who frowned at the page, Who grumbled, groaned, and let loose all her rage. She sighed at the keyboard and moaned at the screen, Wishing her stories could be better with each scene. She wanted the glory, the praise, and the cheer, But she didn’t find joy when deadlines drew
Abundance of Joy
They planted with tears in the cold, muddy ground, While sorrow and sighing were all that they found. With hands that were heavy and eyes full of rain, They buried their hope with the seed and the grain. But oh what a change when the sun starts to shine, And green shoots come bursting in
Safe in the Storm
When shadows grow longer and skies start to roar, God gathers his children and guards them once more. Like chicks in a nest when the thunderclouds roll, He shelters your body, your heart, and your soul. His feathers bring comfort, his power stands tall. No threat can get past his sheltering wall. No
