For My Sister

Mar 1, 2019 | Blogs, Poetry Spotlight

The dead are raised to life. The blind are made to see. The lame
are made to walk. The lost are yet found. I AM is still working miracles!

Father, I marvel at your awesome miracle of salvation – the gift of grace, lest any should boast. From my mother’s womb there is holy blood-washed fruit. Dear Lord, I thank you for my sister.

For My Sister
When I look at you
I know there is a God:

A God who was always there
Whose unseen hand
Tempered every blow

A God of eternal vision
Who looked on one so marred
And saw a priceless treasure

A God of eternal purpose
Who took what the world rejected
And declared, a vessel of honor

A God of infinite love
Who gave His only Son
To call you, “Precious Daughter”

A God of sovereign power
Who silenced the accuser
And had the final say!

“But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him.” Jeremiah 18:4


My Thoughts
My sister’s journey is one of triumph over adversity. The enemy’s plan to steal, kill, and destroy was no match for the will of God. I celebrate her life, and praise our Lord for His saving grace.

Requiem for the Pawn

The Potter’s way of discipleship is sometimes marked by travail. The Great Intercessor will take hold of His vessel and give utterance on behalf of the most unlikely candidates. Dear Lord, you remind us that we wrestle not against flesh and blood. Only by your Spirit...
