Stepping Out On Faith

Posted on March 14, 2014 | By

The first step is the hardest
When stepping out on faith
For you cannot see what lies ahead
There are times when you must wait

Though you cannot see the wind
The trees and flowers as they grow,
You can feel the breeze and see the beauty
Some things only God will know

You cannot see God’s decisions
On how a way will be made
His voice harkens: Step out on faith my child
Your success is guaranteed

Faith is not based on what you can see
Nor what you or any man may know
Faith is based on a belief
That God has told you so

When you take the first step out on Faith
Know that God has you in hand
He can move mountains, streams, and valleys
Unlike any other man

A Broken Heart Mended By God

Posted on March 14, 2014 | By

A heart broken into many pieces
will often cause you pain
You may begin to wonder
Whether you’ll be made whole again

Tears of hurt stream down your face
As you are immersed deep in thought
How could I go wrong, What did I do?
To deserve such a broken heart?

One cry to God is all you need
For Him to take his “mending gear”
A prayer for help “I need you Lord”
will cause Him to draw near

As you begin to lean on Him
He takes his needle of love
and threads it with understanding
to mend your heart from above

Piece by piece the Master Mender
replaces life’s disappointments
with his precious care
Until your broken heart is mended
Call on God anytime, anyplace, anywhere
