Meditation of My Heart

A little worm burrowing in the ground has no hope of communicating with a star. It wouldn't even know how to start. The vast difference is worlds away and languages apart. Yet, the star shines on the worm and covers it with its light. I feel I am much farther away from a Holy God. I desire to know Him and understand Him and try as I might, I don't even know where to start. Yet, God shines on me and calls me Beloved. What awesomeness is that!! He sees me struggle and  plea and hears. He gives me a glimpse of Him that overwhelms me, something that fills me that I don't even understand. He doesn't take pity on me.... He loves me. Words cannot express. A taste of sweetness I try to savor the flavor sweeter than anything I've known. A smell of heaven quickly blowing away as I try to understand what's shown. Oh God, my heart is swelling, wildly beating because it cannot contain Your love so filling, deeply pulsing Leaving me forever changed I we...

My heart does rend the pain of sin that clutches at my soul Who can climb free and finally be made whole The reaches of the dark stained arms stretch far beyond my sight It suffocates and twists and tears with a mighty fight Oh! To tear away the scars it burrows in my mind Lies piercing deep within my soul wrapping me in binds Destroying all within my reach because I cannot see But, alas, I beg who has the strength to finally set me free?

Liberating mercy, You died to set me free! Oh beloved, don’t you know, you must call upon His name Throw yourself on the cross and never b...

A poem I wrote awhile ago. But hey, it's my blog, I can put whatever I want here. :o) The Calico Quilt  I have memories all fashioned with laughter and cheers  Bound together tightly with heartache and tears  Each stitch is so precious  One of a kind  Creating a masterpiece....  A calico quilt in my mind  The stitches uneven, the edges are frayed  Each square is different but don't be dismayed  It's highly treasured - one of a kind  Made by many hearts, this Calico Quilt in my mind  Mismatched squares by small little hearts  Stained, worn and loved in so many parts  My children so hastily put each piece in place  The more that I held them the quicker they raced  Each precious memory added a square  Softly I touch the fabric laid there  Many friends have added some squares of their own  Their styles are different, but carefully sewn  Bright fl...
