231130 God Sees

 God Sees

The God I love's a God who sees
My triumphs and my victories
Like a good Abba, he can't hide
My success, as source of his great pride

Likewise, I know he also sees
My failures and my agonies
Each time that I have fallen short
Or his good plans, attempt to thwart 

Hagar, from the Old Testament 
Was in quite a predicament 
So, from her mistress, Sarah flees
Yet, did not run from God who sees

To know he saw her brought great joy
So Hagar named her God, "El Roi"
"The God who sees me" sees you too
He sees all that you're going through 

Not only sees, but cares about
Each joy, accomplishment, and doubt
Your insecurities and fears
Sees all your laughter, all your tears

And anything that's false in you
Make no mistake, God sees right through
For he can see into your heart
And knows if you're playing a part

Likewise,  if there's sincerity 
That's also something God can see
Your shortcomings, he'll not despise
God sees all through his loving eyes

For God sees not as the world does
Instead, sees all through lens of love
So, he sees you as so much more
Beloved child, he does adore

So, learn to see yourself same way
And those you see within your day
Like paradise, this world would be
If we could see as our God sees

1 Samuel 16:7
...For the LORD sees not as man sees; man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart

Job 28:24
For he looks to the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens 

Genesis 16:1-13
Jeremiah 23-24
Psalm 33:18

240606 The Word You Use

 T he Words You Use Be careful 'bout the words you use For words can injure; words can bruise Be careful 'bout the things you say For hurtful words, one's soul can slay It's not just words you use, but tone For tone has meaning all its own And if you've raised a teenage child You know their tone's what drives you wild The words you use carry such weight To express love or start debate For kind words can be source of life But biting words breed only strife A loving word makes someone's day Like honey, are kind words you say Yet, angry words, spoken in haste Will only leave a bitter taste  Don't know 'bout you, but I feel bad If speak unkind because I'm mad And though I'm sorry in the end Know they can't be unheard again Repaired relations come with price Won't have to pay if just talked nice The damage is already done  Though the word battle you have won The Word says tongue's a two edged sword  And words once said can't be ign...

231110 How Did I Get Here?

How Did I Get Here? How did I get here? I don't know Seemed sometimes fast, other times slow Though, does not matter what the pace Still wonder how came to this place How did I reach this point in time? Reality of it's so sublime For most of journey was uphill Through hard fought land, yet, I'm here still How did I get from there to here? In baby steps year after year? Know sometimes how I reached this place Was through tremendous leaps of faith But, other times, through missteps went To places that I never meant Through valleys deep or forests dark Through turbulent waters full of shark Yet, oh, so many times I've found That when I stop to look around  The sun is shining on my face And I am in a lovely place A place with lush, green, rolling hills With irises and daffodils  A place of rest, peace, and beauty  Exactly where I want to be I've found as I trek on my way Sometimes have both in the same day Day can begin as walk in park Then suddenly turn very dark Or st...

241210 'Tis the Season

  'Tis the Season  'Tis the season to be jolly With mistletoe, pine boughs, and holly Yet, what if jolly's not your mood  But melancholy, you exude What if the carols in the air Remind you of someone not there Or crackling fire's bright light and heat Can't chase the cold of empty seat What if season's not full of thrills But full of lack and unpaid bills Though sugarplums fill your kid's head You know they'll get little instead  Perhaps in place of peace, good will You have a loved one very ill So thoughts don't turn to season's din But doctors visits, medicines While others have house full of guests All you have though is loneliness  The kids have grown and moved away So it's not the same holiday How blessed if season's joyous one But it is not for everyone  For most December brings good cheer For some, it's hardest time of year Whatever circumstance you claim The Christmas message's still the same That hope came through a baby...
