creative writing...

I am not a creative writer but my friend is... here's a couple of my favorites... enjoy:

I Have Faith In Who You ARE

In a world that feels so black and white

Expected to do all by our own might

Lord, let me not have faith fueled by sight.

I thank you for who you ARE!

Strengthen me when I doubt or worry

Remind me of your redemption story

Let me have faith to bring you glory

I have faith in who you ARE!

Help me remember we are set apart

Our hope in you is where we start

Let me not seek your works, but seek your heart

I seek you for who you ARE!

You are unchanging and remain the same

That miracles can be done in your name

But if the answer is "no" I will still proclaim

I praise you for who you ARE!

********************************

Hebrews 13: 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Psalm 62:2 He alone is my rock a and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.

Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him a must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

2 Corinthians 5:7 We live by faith, not by sight.

Psalm 117:2 For great is his love a toward us, and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD!

God, I truly know

With absolute certainty

That I am not worthy

Of the patience You have with me.

Patience comes from mercy

And it all comes from You

I need to use it daily

When other's faults I view.

Help me to remember that

Only Your judgement is Divine.

How can I point at dust in her eye

When there's a plank in mine?

Do I even know the whole truth

If I talk behind their backs?

I can't judge their hearts

Only You know all the facts!

So when I start the "Bless her heart"

We're known for in the South,

Put your arm around my shoulder

And Your hand over my mouth!

Take it to your Father

Why do we not remember

How much we are adored?

When we face our trials,

We should call upon the Lord!

Remember His loving kindness

Not just Divine Judgement,

God soothes and brings comfort

As our nurturing parent.

God chose us as His children

We should not be afraid.

Our names are not forgotten

On His palms they are engraved.

He leads with cords of kindness.

Feel the love that makes the tie?

Proving He is mighty to save

When He sent His Son to die.

He quiets us with His love.

Rejoicing, He will sing!

Comforting with His Spirit

With us safe beneath His wing.

Next time you're hurt or anxious

Wait to give your friend a call.

Boldly take it to the Father,

Let Him be your All in All.
