Wholeness

The stripes on Your back, Nails in Your hands and feet, and A thorn in Your brow… Were put there for me… [EVEN if it were JUST me] …for my sickness Physically, Mentally, Emotionally, and Spiritually. You make me whole. I am complete in You and inYou alone.  

Unconditionally

Abba Father Daddy You are the God who sees me… You are the One who knows ME… You loved me when I was covered in sin and dead in my transgressions… You loved me when I wasn’t yet born or even a thought to my parents… Abba Father Daddy You love me for ME… I…

Desperate Seeker

In desperation I seek You… I wait… I hope… I expect… You.   Yearning for Your presence, I come to Your Throne. I fall face down, in awe of You, As Your grace and love overwhelm my whole being.   You lift my head, and hold me in Your arms, Showing me that YOU will…

Calling

I feel it deep inside, It’s something I’ve tried to hide. But it gets louder, stronger, When I suppress it longer.   My head says… no, You really can’t go. Why would I long to be, In a place that may not want me.   My heart says…YES Lord! Move me forward! To do Your…

Amazed by His Great Love

Either this stuff is real or it isn't…

Either this stuff is real or it isn’t… What does that mean? Simply put: Either God is or He isn’t…you fill in the blank… [Provider, Healer, Saviour, Lord, Strength, Love, Mercy, Hiding Place, etc...] I know this may seem like a simple statement, but there is so much truth behind it. When Pastor Hyer made…
