Taste and See How Good the Lord Is

Struggles ebb and flow like the ocean tides. They wane and wax like the glorious moon; Deliberately devours the psyche, if allowed There is truth to be known, worth more than gold… We are not Masters of our destiny; we are not in control. The day of discovery comes; when we’re lost at sea When panic overrides the mind and the brain liquefies; Caught in a rip tide, seized; and should we fight, we’d lose We resign to God’s will; andare carried towards the shore The lesson learned...it’s not by our own strength that we live ~*~ Psalm 34:8…”O Taste and see how good the Lord is; blessed is the man who trusts in him”. *New ontest for Faith Verses" *2nd Place 12/27/11 For John's "Faith verses Poetry" Contest

Smile ˜ I absolutely agree with the fact that yes, everything is in Our Beautiful Fathers Holy Hands * So as I have reiterated afore from the pages of salvation that, what is it that the clay should say, why have You made me this way? ˜ And what is fear, my dear sweet beautiful Annalise, to those the faithful * Did Stephen have fear in his heart as he was being stoned to death ˜ Smile, no, yet he rejoiced as praying His Father to forgive they ˜ I love Your Beauties faith & I love You, always & forever; John!:) ˜
