In the Interim

Lord, I know, from past experiences,

All will be well indeed.

It is only in the interim

That we ask our questions.

In this dreary, weary land, O Lord,

Where I am now searching,

This, my “interim time,” is so hard;

Your love seems far away.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

In the darkness of my nighttime fears,

When sin looms over me,

Still, I realize all will be well

When Your light dawns again!

Foundation of Grace

Thefoundation of grace 

In a believer’s heart,

Can become undermined

By guilt-evoking words.

Don’t build a tunnel, build bridges.

The foundation of grace,

A God-given blessing,

Is to be encouraged

By love-inspired words.

Build bridges by helping others.

A Season

Often, it seems, that evil reigns.

We’ll go through a season of brokenness,

Do not despair, for the Lord surely reigns.

Open your heart, for He‘ll yet send

A season for restoration.

In deserts, chasing mirages,

And encountering delusions;

When your heart is closed, you can’t see the truth.

So, you’ll remain in your desert

  Until you’ll seek after the Lord

When you seek more than a season,

If you’ll open your heart and invite Him,

He will dwell within, and will guide your path.

For God is kind, and He’s loving;

His mercy endures forever.
