Sonnets For My Savior 33
She Is At Peace
Thank you, Lord, for wiping away her tears.
She will never again thirst or hunger.
You have taken away all of her fears.
She now knows a peace that is greater.
She has passed from life, but does not know death.
She no longer feels mourning or pain.
She’s been filled by Your Holy breath,
and she will never know struggle again.
She has left this world,
but she lives, for God is the God of the living.
All of God’s grace has been unfurled;
now she sits at the foot of the throne, singing.
You have called her home and granted her release,
so thank you, Lord, for giving her Your peace.
The Power of Prayer
He always hears us.
He always listens.
In times of pain, He comforts us.
In times of doubt, He enlightens.
Blessed are those who pray in the Spirit.
Blessed are those who live in a mindset of continuous prayer.
Sing your song of praise, and he will hear it.
Cry to him, when you feel in despair.
The prayers of the righteous please Him.
Call on Him, and He will answer.
He is merciful, and gives generously to all who ask of Him.
For a genuine heart in prayer, there is no wrong method or manner.
While it is true that His sovereign answer may be no,
keep praying in hope, for He grants his children more than they even know.
My Favorite Way to Show Love
When someone needs care,
let me provide it for them.
If this world grows unfair,
let me offer a sympathetic hand to them.
Let me stand for them if they are week.
Let me cry with them when the suffer.
Let me encourage them when they are meek.
If their muscles fail, let me provide for them all the strength I can muster.
Christ gave all he had.
Can I not give just some of my time?
Let me comfort others and make them glad.
For Christ loved this way, and I seek his love to me mine.
There are other ways to show love; this is a fact,
but I find the most joy showing love through an act.
He’d Run To You
He’d sprint to you.
He’d throw his arms around you.
He’d present a ring to you.
He’d kill his fattest calf for you.
He’d rejoice at your return.
He’d celebrate your resurrection.
Even though you didn’t earn
such a wonderful reception.
He’d welcome you back.
He’d restore you to your place.
No matter how far you wandered off track,
He’d rush to you and kiss your face.
There aren’t words to describe just what He would do for you,
and coming home to Him is all you’d have to do.
He Wouldn’t
Why would God forget you,
when He’s numbered the hairs on your head?
Why would the God who made you,
refuse to hear a word you’ve said?
Why would he forget you,
when He sent his Son to die for you?
Why would he forget you,
when He sent His Son to pay the price for you?
He is faithful,
and He has promised He will not leave or forsake you.
He is watchful,
observing all you say and do.
Trust and be patient, as he is patient.
He will strengthen and help you. His grace, he will give to you, and it is sufficient.
My Strength
When I am weary; He opens my eyes.
When I am weak; His strength carries me.
He is the one in whom my hope lies.
In a time of need, I offer him my plea.
I am not enough on my own,
so I submit to His sovereignty.
He never leaves me alone.
His grace covers my iniquity.
Help me set aside myself.
I must take up my cross and follow You.
He has given me life itself.
There is nothing he can not do.
He is mighty, loving, and just;
it is in His power, not my own, that I place all of my trust.
He Overcame
No temptation could overcome Him.
No suffering could dissuade Him.
No hunger could weaken Him.
No threat could frighten Him.
No argument could confuse Him.
No insult could break Him.
No lie could fool Him.
No amount of reason could change Him.
Men couldn’t capture Him.
Men couldn’t judge Him.
Death could not hold Him.
The tomb could not keep Him.
Do not worry over what trouble or trials the world has hurled.
Take heart; Jesus has overcome the World.
