Before I came to know the Lord
when someone said they were praying for me
I took it to mean that they saw a deficiency in me
I didn’t really think it made much difference
if they prayed for me or not
because I had fallen short of pleasing God...
Wings of Love
As I sit looking out my bedroom window
I see first the beauty of the stream
full and rich, clean and flowing in the direction
it has been ordained to travel
and the birds flying from here to there
refreshed and hungry after the long rain
and the landscape has become green and budded
little flowers catch my eye
new every day...
Sensitive
As the flesh of a man dies
his spirit becomes more obvious
there is a luminosity about him
so often, as I have held the hand
of a person dying, I felt as though
I was quite close to God
when the worldly man is transparent
you can sense the workings
of his heart
and so it is with those of us
who have dedicated our lives
to Jesus...
