{August 27, 2008}   I Call You Angel

Baby I can see you’re Halo…..

In the very beginning I asked you sincere….
Can I call you Angel, my sweet friend so dear?

You looked at me with humility and grace,
as if you had not heard.
But in the pits of my hell
you just showed me God’s word,

I continued to ask you again and again…
Can I call you Angel, for you‘re more than a friend?

Then you started to love all my deep pain away,
You helped clear my mind of what the world had to say,
You showed me the path of a love greater than yours,
You said to let go of the pain and the wars,

through the battles I fought,
and yet asked again…
“Can I call you Angel, my lover, my friend?”

Not once have you answered this question of mine,
But I hope that you see through this journey of time,
That God sent you to me, to love and to care
to help lighten my load when it was too hard to bare.
And though you can’t see your own wings so bright,
I see them each day and Christ’s glorious light.

So this time… I say, I don’t ask – yet I know,
that I carry your love and the light that you’ve showed,
God knows each man’s heart and I know yours is true.

So I call you My Angel
and I will always love you.

{August 14, 2008}   Seeking

Deuteronomy 4:29

But if from there you seek the LORD your God,
you will find him if you look for him
with all your heart and with all your soul.

You are the single most distracting obstacle between your own failure and success. Each day you make a series of immediate decisions that ultimately shape the course of your life. Failure and success are not immediate procurements; they are slow fades evolving from the good and bad decisions you make each and every moment of your life.

Don’t ever believe that God does not have a will and purpose for your life. Even if you feel lost in the gray area between black and white – remember that your position in life today, has been your choice and yours alone.

Nothing can stand between you and God’s will, except you.

Right now, simply by reading this – you are reaching to find that will. You are seeking.

Matthew 6:31-34

So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness,
and all these things will be given to you as well.

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own.



{August 13, 2008}   True Hunger

Can you discern through the gate whether the dog is a beggar or just a truly hungry animal? Hunger is a boldness that doesn’t whine. It takes what it needs in order to feed itself. Hunger is determination. Those that have true hunger don’t waste time and energy on making useless noises, they simply act.

Beggars pause. A beggar makes his presence known to all; the truly hungry stalk their prey carefully, methodically, and with an ultimate goal. It is the beggar that waits for a bone, the hungry find one and then devours it.

True hunger is honest, unabated, unswerving and yet unpredictable.

Which is more dangerous?
