If, Again

Jan 1, 2020 | Blogs, Poetry Spotlight

I’m a battle-scarred veteran of unsanctified covenant–out alive and grateful! God has lifted my head and my future is His business. It’s not up to me or anyone else.


Abba Father, you know my thoughts regarding that profound mystery, and my dreams of that place I’ve never been: In Season, ordained, and hand-picked. I commit them to you and I trust you to return them to me, sanctified, if again.

James 4:15

Beloved Unbeliever

Someone once said that if God could be psychoanalyzed, it would be concluded that His love for us is obsessive-compulsive. In Psalm 8:4 David ponders, “What is man that you are mindful of him…?” Dear Father, you love us because you are love! You can be one with us...
