Come, My Child, Come and Drink!
Come, my child, come and drink! Do not be occupied with worldly desires for they will only leave you dry and wanting. They will not satisfy you with the Rivers of Living Water only my Father provides. Those desires only increase dryness to more dryness. The water of my Father is free; come drink andContinue reading “Come, My Child, Come and Drink!”
My Cross I Choose
To take up my cross, to deny all that is me, Such a daunting task, it is to be. Leaving myself behind, all that I am, So that I become, like the Son of Man. Losing my life, so that I can live, It seems such a concept, my life to give? Yet it’s forContinue reading “My Cross I Choose”

In schist, in granite, at water’s rims, Can be found precious gems. For these are ordinary rocks, they are, Though we do resemble them by far. JustContinue reading “Gems Hidden in the Ordinary”
Things to Do
Put off these things: anger, wrath, Malice, blasphemy, filthiness of mouth. For you’re a new man for which Christ did bleed. And put off the old man of sin, Because Christ’s image resides within. As God’s elect, holy, beloved, Put on tender mercies, kindness, and love. Humility, meekness, longsuffering too, Forgiving one another, so weContinue reading “Things to Do”
Reflection of Christ
Does what I do allow Christ to shine thru? Or is it just doing things I’ve desired to do? Am I really allowing Christ Jesus be formed in me? Or am I just the same as I used to be? Do I honestly, not truly what to submit, Because to be crucified just don’t seemContinue reading “Reflection of Christ”

The Lord calls out, “Turn!” “Turn!” “Turn to Me with all your heart!” Return to the Lord your God! That He might show grace and mercy. Sound the alarm!Continue reading “Turn”
