Benefits and Blessings

Benefits and blessings
abound
We receive
when our days,
moment by moment,
are filled
with God-given thought
rather than
dark areas infiltrating
to negative
selfish
worldly thinking

Difficulties always
present
by why be ruled by
have nots

Thankfulness
and praise
comes when
the benefits and blessings
are seen
when we are grateful
for what is given
in the spirit of His Love
without complaint
without expecting payment

Remorse takes us backward
Sunshiny skies forward
Doom and gloom backward
Joy and laughter forward

Wouldn't we rather be
making forward-moving strides

We all have occasions
when backward glances
sadden our faces
but joy
is in
the morning.

Let us be glad,
stay in tune, in time
with His step.
He will never
lead us astray.

Keep me near you Lord.
All the time.

All we are is less than He

All we are
is
always
less than
He --
God the Father
who created us

less than
He --
God the Son
who died for us

less than
He --
God the Holy Spirit
who lives within us

He --
I AM
Truth --
Perfection --
Love

There is
none
greater.
No
not
one.

Listen ....

He's not in the noise
around us,
but afterward ....

Listen
for His still small voice
weaving
its way deeper
into
our
hearts.

We must
stop!
bogging
our mind down
with
painful
clutter
that
circulates
and
recirculates
distracting us
from Him
and
His perfect voice
that
calls
to us
continually.

Bring it all
every big
every little
all to
to Him
and
wait!
in
anticipation
of
His reply.

Listen!
