Psalms 40:3 (KJV) “And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.” In my soul, lives a night Constantly waiting to bring its shadow Across my thoughts, my heart All the dreams that encourage me to see Through the gloom, into the grace Where a fire burns, sparkling with belief, Rising from the ashes of darkness’ grief In my soul, lives a fear Where the war of the spirit sings Songs of disbelief, doubting The healing, the comforting, the miracle Leaving its path over lives who listen Heed the promises, the guarantee That His word holds such wisdom, It is life’s assurance of peace, Life’s light falling hastily across the one Who simply believes… Believes and agrees – this love of His It silences the suspicion, Destroys every worry – washes away the fear, Yesterday’s prayers are silent reminders, Making the truth rise from its stillness, Prayers trace the verses that restore and heal, Verses of hope, faith and love…. Real fulfillment! Verses inspired by the One who knows us Like the wind knows the trees In all of their divinity, warring with the breeze They tremble and gasp, leaving light Beyond the shadows, where life is more than Faded dreams, more than bleeding griefs, More than what we can see… Life is a place where you and me, We can appreciate, through the sorrows, the dismal Grief… into the forever, where we have the victory, The reminder that, with Jesus… There is a love that knows no end, A love that frees and survives the revealing Deception that reminds us we have no way of knowing What God can already see… through the silence, He exposes those friends who seek to harm, The ones who mean to bring us distress, suffering, Injury that comes from the source of envy, The distrust that abides in the one who can’t decide… To just listen to the One who makes life worthwhile, The One who is the reason that life has meaning, The One who brings the season it’s significance, The One who holds the stars at His fingertips, The One who abides inside the heart who believes… He is everything we need to have the victory, Winning the seeking soul from the darkness’ dreaded hold Love like this is more than the best Love like this is the answer to every heart quest!

Wow. You must have a lot of free time. I see you're still cranking 'em out. Agape love is the highest form. You write of it well. Ever wonder why LORD is in all caps in some Bibles?

a powerful and uplifting poem, Regina! Your right, His love banishes our suspicions...sadly some folks aren't listening or don't believe. My favorite line is "Verses inspired by the One who knows us .. Like the wind knows the trees .. In all of their divinity, warring with the breeze." He knows us like the wind knows the trees is just so accurate and brilliantly written. Am faving this one. Have a wonderful evening, love, Sara
