Peace In My Heart

4 Comments

I sought for peace in restless days,
In shadows thick with fear,
And silence held me tight,
But now I’ve found this sacred gift.

In the stillness of my soul,
A mantle of unshakable calm,
Through storms, it holds me true,
An anchor in life’s tempest waves.

This peace that passes human thought,
A gift from heaven’s hand,
In gentle, quiet flowing,
In God’s sweet grace, I stand.

John 14:27 – Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

Embracing the New Season

2 Comments

Just as the earth goes through seasons, our spiritual lives do too. There are times of sowing, times of waiting, and times of harvest. When we invite Jesus into our lives, we enter a season of growth and renewal. He brings new beginnings, fresh perspectives, and a sense of hope that only he can provide. According to John 15:4-5 (NIV):

“Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me, you can do nothing.”

Staying connected to Jesus throughout the seasons of sowing, waiting, and harvesting is crucial. It requires patience, but this patience ultimately yields fulfillment.

Knocking and Waiting

2 Comments

When you knock on a door, you must wait for someone to open it and let you inside. This simple concept carries profound meaning when applied to our spiritual lives as reflected in Psalm 27:14, which tells us, “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” Life often throws arrows of disappointment, tribulations, and sorrow our way. These events are inevitable for both believers and unbelievers. When one of these arrows hits us, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and lost. But during these times of trial, remember to knock and wait on God’s door.

Keep knocking, God knows.
Keep waiting, patience will see you through.
Keep praising, let your heart sing.

Keep hailing, he hears,
Yahweh sees and knows it all,
In his set time, He’ll answer your call.

Why I Smile

6 Comments

A smile is a candle burning so bright and comes naturally to me, healing my soul. I extend it to others because it promises comfort and completes a moment. Smile often and watch how it positively alters fate around you, among your friends and loved ones. Your smile reveals a light for all to see, and embrace a heavenly gift to let your heart shine.

I smile for Jesus, my true light,
In His love, I find pure delight.
Through every trial, He stands by me,
His sacrifice set me free.

I cast my fears upon him.
For Jesus, my Savior,
My soul’s delight.
I smile for Him, for I am set free.
