Greed

Author Dana Redricks
July 18, 2019

People don't show their appreciation and quick to point out our flaws. I often think of God and what he must sometimes think of us. We murmur and complain overlooking his many blessings. I know it breaks my heart to hear someone complaining when I ask the simplest things, when I know I've bent over backwards to help the other person the best way I could. What hurts worse is when you need a hand that same hand pushes you away. I know I'm not perfect and never claimed to be. No wonder it displeases God so to see a selfish person who is always unwilling to give instead always wanting just to receive. Nothing good comes from greed it will only eat you alive in the end.

Tomorrow's Harvest

Author Dana Redricks
July 19, 2019


Pray for me, and I will pray for you. I know that this is just a stormy season of life passing through. I feel like I have been going through one storm after another but I know the sun will shine again behind its reflecting are the radiant colors of the beautiful rainbow filled with the of many hurt and pain. This to shall pass like every storm that came before it we just have to hold onto God's strong  and steadfast promises that he will never fail or forsake us. Although we may see no hope insight and we may feel like we're defeated just remember some of the greatest victories have come from the greatest failures. Never despise yourselves for failures because in order to grow we die just like a seed who begins it journey through the hardships of life. The seed struggles its way through trials, and the plant breaks its through the top as its fruit begins to blossom to reach forth its destination and continues to succeed. The storms we face today produces tomorrow's harvest.

The Word of God Yahweh

Author Dana Redricks
May 21, 2018

The Word of God Yahweh is
like air for the believer
The Word of God is like food for the soul
It is a map that leads us on the right path
Of righteousness
The Word God Yahweh gives us hope 
when we feel like we want to give up
the Word of God Yahweh gives us hope
The Word of God Yahweh is 
a light in this dark world
The Word of God transforms our lives
When we are weak the Word 
gives us strength
There is no other who love like God
In God’s tender loving arms is 
Where I belong
In this Word is where I live
But it is not my home
God’s love and mercy is 
what keeps me from day to day

God Can Use Anybody

By Dana Redricks
September 22, 2020

God can use anybody even our limitations, or disabilities. Nothing is impossible with Him. You are valued more than you know, and loved beyond measure. Each one of us is His prize possession, and let no one tell you otherwise. Like a diamond in the night let your light outshines the darkness, and no matter what we face just trust and know with Jesus everything will be alright.

If Today Was Your Last

Author Dana Redricks 
May 5, 2019 

If today was your last day
what would you do 
Would you get your house 
in order and say goodbye 
to those you love 
Would you remember 
you to get ready for 
where you would spend 
eternity 
God has made a way we
could be secure 
Most people have life
insurance but it
won't secure our souls 
Death doesn't discriminate 
it takes young and old
So if today was your last 
where would you go
Life is short we must be 
prepared to meet our 
maker when our time 
on earth is done

God, You Are Amazing

Author Dana Redricks
May 11, 2017

There are no words 
to describe how great you are.
You are the great I am
from beginning to the end
You’re the eternal God
You are our Father
You are our Sheppard, provider, 
our deliverer,
You are the king of kings
The creator of everything
You are amazing
In all the universe, 
there is none like you
You are amazing, amazing God
Each creature with its own design
You are the master builder
You’re one of a kind
You are amazing, amazing God

Drip

Author Dana Redricks 
June 11, 2019 

I'm dripping sweat on my shirt 
I think it might even hurt 
My heart is swollen like a river 
The joy that overflows 
Joy is dripping in my soul
The joy of Jesus Christ 
Who laid down his life 
for my sins he paid the price 
Nothing can steal my life 
because he holds me tight 
I got that Holy Ghost fire 
running deep within my soul 
I got that promise of eternal 
life and one day Jesus will 
come take me home

You Are Not Alone

Author Dana Redricks
May 5, 2023

When you feel the weight of the world, and everything seems dark and cold, just remember that you are not alone, God Yahweh is there to guide you home.

His love is like a golden ray,
Piercing through the darkest days, His arms are strong and wide open, always ready to shelter you, and be the light that guides you; He will make you new, just like the morning dew. He refreshes and makes all things new.

You may feel lost and confused, but remember that he paid the ultimate dues, His love is unconditional and true. He will never leave, nor forsake you.

Lean on him and let him carry you through, trust in His plans, for they are always anew, for even when the road is rough and unclear, and you can't see your way through; God Yahweh's love will always be near you, and there's no love so pure and true.

So let your worries fade away, and let his love take control of you, better days are coming, for with Him, you will never be alone,
for God Yahweh is here with you, forever strong, so hold your head up and keep holding on. You are not alone. God Yahweh has seen your tears, and your many fears, just know that You are loved, and fully known; And He calls You His very own. You will never walk alone.

Hate

Author Dana Redricks
April 5, 2017

Hate is like carrying around 
Dead weight 
It weighs you down
It’s a heavy load no one
Should want to carry
It clouds your vision
And steals your Joy
And steals your peace
Hate is a waste of space
It is something that will
Take you out quicker than
Anything
But the choice is ours to 
Love or hate 
But for me, I think love is the way
To go because hate will
Just take us places we 
Don’t want to go

What If

Author Dana Redricks 
February 4, 2019 

What if was your last day
and you had to say goodbye 
Would be ready to meet 
your maker on your bye and by
As you cross the Jordan to
the shore 
The life we live is nothing 
more than a vapor compared to our eternity 
Will you be headed towards 
the promise land where streets are paved with gold
or choose the other place where you will tormented and night
Will you turn a deaf ear to God's soft  whisper an offer of eternal 
Life is only a whisper here today and gone tomorrow 
Time is something we do not
have to waste; when it's gone it's gone 
Time is something w noe cannot borrow 
What has been given by God is what we have  
Seek the Lord while you
 can for tomorrow might 
be too late
