My heart is heavy with sadness,
a burden I should not bare,
Thank God, Jesus died for me,
I can take it to the Father,
anytime through prayer.

My makeup is mixed with error,
worldly influences are in part,
Thank God, Jesus died for me,
I am a new creation,
His Word transforms my mind and heart.

I am lost and blind,
I do not know the way,
Thank God, Jesus died for me,
He set the example,
So I need not stray.

I get tired for I know,
my flesh is weak,
Thank God, Jesus died for me,
it is His strength and power,
I trust in and seek.

I am unique,
like me, there is none,
Thank God, Jesus died for me,
So I can be a member,
of His precious family.

“You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God…” I Peter 3:4 NLT

A gentle and quiet spirit,

I am working to be,

for this pleases God,

and I want Him,

to be pleased with me.

A gentle and quiet spirit,

is one who obeys,

one devoted to God,

they are not divided,

constant their heart stays.

A gentle and quiet spirit,

is one born again,

one renewed by God,

no longer His enemy,

but now His friend.

A gentle and quiet spirit,

practices daily to be,

one living for God

in a world dark and lost,

a shining light to see.

A gentle and quiet spirit,

returns no harm for wrong,

one fearing God,

who turns sorrow and weeping,

into prayers and praise of song.

A gentle and quiet spirit,

is one who is at peace,

one hopes in God,

He is faithful,

from fears released.

A gentle and quiet spirit,

is one who knows,

one seeking God,

He will find them,

Himself He shows.

A gentle and quiet spirit,

is one who is humble,

one submitted to God,

knows His will,

and so does not stumble.

A gentle and quiet spirit,

is one who trusts,

one dependant on God,

their needs fulfilled,

after nothing worldly lusts.

A gentle and quiet spirit,

is not proud,

not against God,

not boastful, unloving, stubborn,

does not argue, is not loud.

A gentle and quiet spirit,

can stand against wrong,

one strengthened by God,

taught by Christ’s example,

quiet trust makes one strong.

A gentle and quiet spirit,

changes I continue to see,

pleasing to God,

is what I want,

for His love saved me.

Love has changed me,

I see things new,

I have heard it said,

but now know it is true.

Love makes all beautiful,

it brings out my best,

it is forever patient,

as I work on the rest.

Love has made me gentle,

tender and kind,

love has transformed me,

my heart and mind.

Love is a motivator,

I endure as love encourages me,

to over come the hardships,

it empowers me to be free.

Love is a verb,

describing an action,

sparked by emotion,

and fuelled by reaction.

Love is chosen,

each day the choice is there,

to show my commitment,

a dedication of care.

Love springs from my heart,

so others I can show,

love I can share,

so they too can know.

Love has changed me,

I see things new,

it has changed me for the better,

I know this is true.

Dear Soul

When your days are long and lonely,

and no one is there,

please remember to trust the fact,

that I really do care.

 

When all is bad,

and nothing is good,

please remember the fact,

No one can help you like I could.

 

When the sun is not shining,

and all is dark as midnight,

please remember the fact,

that I will lead you to the light.

 

When you can go no longer,

and are weak and fallen,

please remember the fact,

that I hear you calling.

 

When you have made a mistake,

and are overwhelmed with your wrong,

please remember the fact,

my grace will be your song.

 

And your song will take flight,

in praise and in prayer,

and remember to trust the fact,

that I really do care.

 

Your Heavenly Father ♥

How weak I am,

without the Lord,

I know this to be true,

strength for each day living,

my purpose is giving.

How blind I am,

without the Lord,

I know this to be true,

spending time with Him,

shows me each new thing.

How simple I am,

without the Lord,

I know this to be true,

considered myself only,

was lost and lonely.

How lost I am,

without the Lord,

I know this to be true,

direction given to me,

clearly I now see.

How empty I am,

without the Lord,

I know this to be true,

because my life now,

is filled with love’s vow.

How much you,

love me, Lord,

I know this to be true,

by precious blood shed,

a blessing upon my head.

How much I,

love the Lord,

know this to be true,

words can never say,

my heart leads the way.
