“All adversity, every problem you face, is a gift of love given to you from the hand of God.” ~ Charles F. Stanley, How to Let God Solve Your Problems: 12 Keys to Finding Clear Guidance in Life's Trials In the lavender hills, beyond the sunset where happiness pours out her gentling creating a glow, faintly flowing remembering the heart of summer’s blue in indigo skies, soft and whimsical lasting music, songs fading on the night autumn’s laughter, stirring the winds, the seas, the mysteries life leaves… In the still of a silent forest broken thoughts, grief-stricken solace words of comfort, unfolding on the heart’s breathless promises in colors of inspiration, graceful and giving – like the oaks who feed twilight’s music songs of hope, songs of amazing lasting praises…. In the moments before sun casts its shadows over the meadows, over the silence where the trees blow, amazed by silhouettes written by dreams, beckoning like hues of melancholic grief awakened by fires, chorus of light, fading across limbs hidden beneath prayers secrets so rare, rays of pure lasting peace finding wings… In the river’s flow, an echo only the spirit knows what has happened beneath the surge roaring, loud as the gush of words beneath a prayer, honest like the color of a feeling emotional healing, breathing alive as the dance, graceful and willing to take a chance glorious and still…. In the distance, I see you there risking the answers, speaking your silent prayers with a fading light, twilight’s careful stare, revealing the moment the endless so aware, you’re ever there a piece of the moon, stars sinking into the black cool – clever as the shades of truth, tempting me to remember, this past September before the reflections of the night left me free and elated by the amazing…. In the prayers, where I tremble with a hope that knows He is with me, ever giving always fulfilling, like the music of a heart who is worshipping, praising the One who knows whatever comes, whatever hope there is love that never doubts there is love that sees through the clouds, love that reveals what it means to shout – everlasting, its what life is about…. God of love, God up above the answer to all prayer, the reason that we care, He is always there with love to share – I’m always aware He is there and He will always care and He gives me love that I’m meant to share, love that comes from the heart’s prayer…. God of love, God up above…. Always know – He’s life’s groundwork His battle is sparked by the hearts once lost now they’ve been found, saved by the grace that bled that day on Calvary’s cross – He gave all despite the cost… He gave all so we’re no longer lost we have a Savior who is ever near He fights the shadows and the fears He is the One who abides – sincere He brings hope to the heart who doubts He brings light so we can find the way out He is the One who leaves sin in the past So we’re forever saved from the bad And we know the wonder of love that is glad Never forget – He’s the light who shines Brighter than the sun – He is the unending Son The One who never fades, never goes out He burns on and on, forever guiding us home.
