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.

If, Again

I’ll feast at the end of my fast

And drink deeply through parched lips

I’ll relish that which was restricted

And the giving…

That shall be the sweeter portion!

“Instead, you ought to say, ‘If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do
this or that.’”
James 4:15

This world is not our home. But we have a great expectation. Eternity will extinguish time and only then will incorruption manifest. Until that day, we are called to run this race and not grow weary in well doing. Abba Father, enable your children to see the plank and...

In You

Jul 1, 2019

Pride cannot prevail against the message of the cross. In 1 Corinthians 1:17-31, Paul warns us to acknowledge the true source of power and consider what we were before God called us. I’m grateful, Jesus, for your disregard of human standards. In choosing me, you...
