HAVE I DONE MY BEST FOR JESUS
I wonder, have I done my best for Jesus, Who died upon the cruel tree? To think of His great sacrifice at Calv’ry! I know my Lord expects the best from me.
How many are the lost that I have lifted? How many are the chained I’ve helped to free? I wonder, have I done my best for Jesus, When He has done so much for me?
The hours that I have wasted are so many, ...
I’m Just Eve
Flowers basking in the sun…
Trees bowing into the wind…
Birds breaking free from the sky…
Such a beautiful sight inhabited the depths of my soul as I opened my eyes for the first time. I can’t help but intoxicate myself of the breath-taking scene that was encasing me at that moment. So beautiful, so vibrant, so intoxicating it is that I was held speechless, looking at the awesomeness of such...

He doesn't know
that…
i couldn’t eat well whenever he’s around. my friends could attest to that.
i feel really dumb every time he gives corrections to my sentence constructions and grammars and spellings and pronunciations and all.
i pray for him more than i do for myself.

“did God really say that you shouldn’t do that?” - the serpent
perhaps, its human nature to disobey. we just neglect God’s very words which he had especially composed for us. “for what?”, we may ask as we would always stubbornly question him. stubborn it is because he had always made it known to us that everything he tells us to do and not to do is for our...

the room
In that place between wakefulness and dreams, I found myself in the room. There were no distinguishing features save for the one wall covered with small index card files. They were like the ones in libraries that list titles by author or subject in alphabetical order. But these files, which stretched from floor to ceiling and seemingly endlessly in either direction, had very different ...

I am asking, begging you to forgive me
For I have allowed myself to be caught into this trap.
I could always let you fly.
I could always let you go.
But I’ve got tired.
I got tired of trying to do it over and over again.
Believe me.
For a thousandth time, I begged God to get you out of me.
But every time I tried, the more you dig deep your roots into my ground.
I’ve done all forms of pretending...
Be Thou My Vision
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart; Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art. Thou my best Thought, by day or by night, Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word; I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord; Thou my great Father, I Thy true son; Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight; Be Thou my...

How Do I Love Thee
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday’s Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from...
