For Such a Time as This

Take me into your arms,   let me see through   your eyes. Let me see Your love, Your compassion. Your hope, mercy and   grace. Shine Your light, as would a candle in the darkness. Let it be as   the lighthouse guiding the ships at night. Let it be as a   lantern,   lighting my path. And just as the sun   lights the world   at daybreak. God,   let Your light shine so that I may see.

This is a little prose I stumbled across today that I had intended to be part of a much larger work.  My thoughts wander to every moment of my life. It is like flipping through a photo album, yet each photo takes on a life of its own. They’re a wormhole, sucking me in with nothing to grasp on to, so I have no choice but to endure the ride. Now as I travel back to reality, I find myself sitting back at my desk with a pen in my hand. I tap the pen onto the paper, hoping it will spark some inspiration, but still the words remain hidden. They’re somewhere in my jumbled mind, behind a door with no key. Frustration is my worst enemy. The words won’t escape from their prison to roam free on the page. A part of me wants to toss it aside, to keep my words imprisoned. But another part of me knows that this is the work of the one who is set to destroy and letting him win is not an option. My heart needs to spill out onto the page.   I pace my dimly lit room, letti

I stand before you now, crying and   Humbling down unto my knees, A tear stricken face you gaze upon   With such forgiveness and love. You gently grasp my hand and Bring me unto my feet.   My eyes are lifted upon the sight of you And so my soul is also lifted. My flood of tears you wiped away, Bringing peace that calmed the winds Of my life, turning them into a slight breeze, So that I could stand.

Breathe As a mighty wind   Upon me Let it calm   my soul, sooth   my aching heart. Like rain   are my   tears.   They flow as   of a rushing   river. Stopping only for a spilt   second. Stop the rain   O’ Lord I pray Let it pass so   the sun will shine   in the morn. Let there be a   new song upon my heart   so that I may sing   unto you.

     On a warm and windy day, Ella was sitting up against an old oak tree when suddenly, the leaves began to rustle above her and a dove landed  into a pile of leaves next to her.      “That was quit a landing,” he said as he got up, shaked his head and brushed away the leaves with his wings. Ella grinned, trying not to laugh.   She reached out her hand to stroke the dove on its head.      “Would you like to hear a story about God’s beautiful world,” he asked. “Yes,” said Ella.      The dove extended  his wing, Pointing. “See the butterflies, the birds soaring amongst the clouds.” “See the sun as it shines light upon the world. “How beautiful is the world.”      “Can you hear the wind whistle through the trees? “Watch as their leaves dance with the wind.”      “Can you hear the cricket’s melody, the frogs croaking as they keep up with the beat?”      “See the ripples in the stream, the fish swimming beneath. Watch as they ju

Hey you guys, I don’t really know who this is for, but I feel the need to share this with you. Maybe you’re being bullied or there is something else going on in your life right now that has caused you to contemplate taking your own life and you feel like it is your only way out. I’m here to tell you that it’s not; there is a reason God put you here for such as time as this. He has a great plan for your life. I just want to let you know that you’re not alone and that you’re loved; God loves you. God can turn that darkness in your life into something beautiful. I say this from experience because I too wanted to take my own life. Psalm 46:1-2 God is our refuge and strength an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.   Jeremiah 29:11-13 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
