From walls to rubble

How high the walls were made With every brick the enemy surely gave How sturdy those walls were made That the light would quickly fade  Oh, how these walls entrapped me in darkness My heart grew cold and like stone turned to hardness  Higher and higher those walls kept going  With little air and room; how unnerving the feeling of choking With no help in sight my heart and soul continued to stray  With despair and no hope I thought these walls were here to stay Happiness was suffocated, evidenced by my frown  I felt myself sink, and into the abyss I began to drown  How I’ve tried to leave and often fought  Alone in my walls or at least so I thought I hear a still voice echo, and I look around As the rattling of my chains can be heard to which I was bound How soothing is the voice, the voice of Jesus; in desperation I cry out for His mercy and grace I finally surrender all and submit to Him to see His face One by one my Savior tore down each wall  My hope is restored as I clearly hear hi

The Way Out

Run child, run to God! The way of escape is near; keep pushing through.  Don't stop and look back; keep soldiering on.  He provides us the way out; no need to keep those chains on.  Who told you you were defeated? Don't you know our Savior, Jesus, has won? His victory is our declaration; we shall overcome!  O' how the sweet sound of redemption rings in my ears as the chains fall.  How wonderful and soothing is His voice? Can't you hear him call?  What the enemy said was a lie; there is a way out! So give God all due praise; you are free from bondage. Of this, I know there's no doubt.  Inspirational Bible Verses: 1 Corinthians 10:13 NASB No temptation has overtaken you except something common to mankind; and God is faithful, so He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it. James 1:2-4 ESV Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various ki

 Hey there. Hope all has been well with you. Just thought I'd share some pictures since it's been a while; I hope you enjoy them. 

Worthy of Praise

Oh, Lord, You are worthy of praise.  How You nit me together in my mother's womb and knew me before I took my first breath.  Oh, Lord, You are worthy of praise.  How you've seen me take my first steps and walked beside me throughout my life.  Oh, Lord, You are worthy of praise.  How my ears hear the melodic songs of birds in the morning and the familiar sound of my son's laughter throughout the day.  Oh, Lord, You are worthy of praise. How my delicate eyes see the blue, expansive sky and the many shades of humanity You made in Your very image.  Oh, Lord, You are worthy of praise. How my body can feel the gentle, cool breeze of Spring and the warm, loving embrace of my wife.  Oh, Lord, You are worthy of praise. How I can smell the wonderful fragrance of a rose and catch a scent that brings to mind of fond memories from the past.  Oh, Lord, You are worthy of praise. How my tastebuds can distinguish sweet from sour and enjoy a delectable meal.  Oh, Lord, You are worthy of prai

Stay the course o' child of God!

Day by day, the battle get's tougher; the days grow more evil. Stay the course!  The wickedness of man is shown throughout the world. It's a reminder of how far we've fallen from grace. Stay the course!  Death, disease, and sin may bring fear, doubts, and hopelessness. Stay the course!  Those whom have traded the truth for a lie stand against you because you stand for Christ. Stay the course!  To those who are orphaned and still looking for a home. Stay the course!  To those who are widowed and missing their other half. Stay the course!  To those who are facing the greatest storm of their life with no end in sight. Stay the course! To those that struggle with addiction; it seems as though you're stuck in a vicious cycle. Stay the course!  To those constantly stricken with pain. Stay the course!  We can't see heaven, but it exists. Eternity seems impossible, but it's the life after this. We can't see Jesus, but He dwells within us. Stay the course! My, friend
