The ovens sigh, the knives confess,
we season sin with gentleness.
Each soul, when carved, reveals a taste—
the butcher’s art, the baker’s waste.
The world’s our larder, stocked with schemes,
its saints are sweeter than they seem;
the sinners, tough—but well-marbled,
faith rendered down, ambition garbled.
O mercy, what a menu night!
The moon a lid, the stars alight—
each heart a roast of mortal heat,
each dream a spice too rare to eat.
So lift the cleaver, kiss the flame,
for hunger never dies of shame;
and whisper, as the bones release,
It isn’t m-rder—only peace.

He blessed me with hope
When my feelings told me
I didn’t have a chance
That misery was my condition
And I’d never see the wisdom
Of giving from my heart
A part of my kindness and grace
Knowing that my prayers
Would somehow bring my faith
All the assurance that I needed
To just let go and keep believing
He blessed me with courage
When I wasn’t feeling very strong
Almost like I was completely wrong
And didn’t have a leg to stand on
Because my heart was weak, so weak
It felt like I couldn’t breath
Like something inside me stirred
In the darkness and dread, the fear
That awakened my yearning for
A sense of serenity and strength
That comes from giving in to Him
Leaning on His power and love
Without ever doubting His grace
He is the One who can lift me
From the darkest of the shadows
The dimness of the bluest tear
The night of that piercing dread
The feelings that bring terror
Beckoning me to nightmares
And coloring my hopes in blackness
He blessed me with fulfillment
Serenity amid the chaotic
Joy when all seems lost
Inspiration when life is hard
A melody when I don’t have a song
Light when the night is so bleak
Beauty when gloom seeks me
He blessed me with a everlasting love
The kind that brings true joy
And wisdom from His home above
The kind that grows truth and kindness
Laughter amid the haunting despair
Gentleness when all else seems futile
Friendship that will never fail
The miracle of a faith that is alive
Living in the soul, coloring all the life
In sincerity and wonder, elation
That comes from knowing
This God of the bible, the same One
My whole life and hope is based on
Will someday welcome me home
To the heaven where He is waiting for me!
He blessed me with His Son
And His love lingers on and on
January 1 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on Genesis 1-3
Key Verse - Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
HEART CREATED STEADFASTLY BY GOD
God creates in us steadfast heart wonderfully
While forming us marvelously
Shaping us amazingly
Filling us against our void, sufficing us abundantly…
We surely thank Him wholeheartedly.
God creates in us steadfast heart with His light
While starting our day right
Making our firmament so bright
Watching us at night…
We really thank Him with faith’s might.
God creates in us steadfast heart every morning
While protecting us in between lunch and evening
Securing us in our sleep’s dreaming and groaning
Keeping us in His goodness of feasting and dining…
We joyously thank Him for His constant intervening.
God creates in us steadfast heart in His image and after His likeness
While prevailing over us by His dominion’s greatness
Blessing us toward multiplying fruitfulness
Subduing our pride through His replenishing gentleness…
We truly thank Him for His graciousness.
God creates in us steadfast heart, giving us product-yielding capacity
While bestowing us with work-diligence ability
Sanctifying us to labour in His field of spirituality
Comforting us in His rest as we cleave to His presence-serenity…
We earnestly thank Him along His gifts’ bounty.
God creates in us steadfast heart, defending us from subtle serpent’s deception
While encompassing us with His assurance-sanction
Pulling us against curses’ destruction
Protecting us from enmity’s sorrow-infliction affliction…
We verily thank Him, praising Him for our soul’s eternal salvation.
God creates in us steadfast heart, ruling over us with His commandment
While propping us from sin-caused miseries by His encouragement
Loving us, calling us with His life-commitment
Placing us in His heart of genuine contentment…
We triumphantly thank Him and His sovereign control every moment.

when beauty met the beast
she was a cutie, he was a beast
she thought that she would speak to him
and find out what made
the beast, a beast
as the beast looked at her
he wondered; what a feast
but the way she spoke to him
made gentleness and curiosity increased
he found her some what pleasant
and laid his aggression aside
for now he'd grown accustom
and hoped she would abide
as time past he looked at her
as he never did before
tender conversations
brought his knees to the floor
she'd become his weakness
his task forever more
he liked to hear her voice
and see her walking through the door
on holidays there were presents
on birthdays a feast
each special day that brought her presence
was a holy day to say the least
now i am wholly human
and i can tell you well
that jealousy fits us humans
and beast very well
one look at competition
can take us all to hell
we can never avoid perdition
when one other than God
we our souls sell
and from God comes the testing
old men and prophets tell
the beast asked God for patience
and God knows how to teach it well
the next time the beast see's beauty
there is a ring on her hand
he didn't care to mention it
but that was one thing he couldn't stand
worn down he ask her
what the ring meant on her hand
slowly she confided, it meant she'd
marry another man
the beast now was furious
he did not understand
that all these years confiding
he was suppose to be the man
what then would become of her
his conscious did demand
all the years he spent with her
were coming to an end
yet love had one more service
his heart would command
tell the maid he loved her
and ask her for her hand
let all the powers of wickedness
and goodness take their stand
upon this maids answer
i'll bravely take my chance
Sunlight smiles
Through morning’s song
As birds, robin and wren,
Flutter near the dogwood
Awakening the moments
To a day of grace and wonder
A day for the Lord to shower
Hearts with favor, mercy
All the goodness of His grace
Roses reflect the dewdrops
As the trickle down a petal
Reminding the heart of the joy
Felt when His love embraces
Kissing away every fear, each tear
With a kindness that resembles
Peace and tranquility, the feeling
Brought alive by the love inside
Love inspired by His spirit
Creating His abode, within me
Gentle breezes silence the pain
Praising the Lord with their thanks
For the silent songs, the distant
Hopes who fall like rain pouring out
From the heavens, rays of joy
Feelings filled with a soft knowing
His light shines from the heavens
Coloring souls in spiritual enthusiasm
Igniting passions of prayer and praise
Assuring hearts that His love is forever
An eternal beauty leaving in its path….
The fruits of the spirit - love, joy, peace. longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance.
Galatians 5:22-23 (KJV) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Lover, touch her with a gentleness
which maker her quiver with passion;
when whispered words matter,
a delightful thought can enlighten
her sublime smile lost in happiness,
what else will she desires more than love?
Inside the fire is unquenchable,
and the joy is unsurmountable:
when it is started and given
by a lover with gentle hands;
a lover whose trust in her is pure!
In that meadow where wild flowers
are a dazzling red and invite fragile butterflies,
the waving grass of the fragrant hill
turns a solar yellow in extreme heat...
as two lovers weave amazing dreams
by the shade of a willow tree;
and who knows this season better than they?
Lover with gentle hands,
never take those hands away;
keep caressing her, never pretend;
and whenever she asks for another kiss:
be generous and make her delirious...
as the southern wind brings
another fragrance of distant memories
that a forgetful lover leaves behind!
Even this memorable day is coming to its end,
and the kisses intensify as you wish for stars...
chasing away the scarlet sunset with impatient eyes;
and she gladly expresses that intense imotion,
never refusing, ever obedient and silently
she lets every sense be taken by imagination...
only feeling the gentle hands of a lover, who demands
nothing more than faithfulness and generosity!
God in the scriptures declares His fruits
that is to be the character of His elect
in His list of fruits there's one He lists last
but it's equally important as any of the rest
Every believer needs to exercise this
being on top of their emotions real hard
need the help of the holy spirit to dwell
residing within make sure we're on guard
Satan is always seeking us to sin
luring around kidding us complacent be
needing to put on all of God's armour
so to stand firm in God so all will see
Be continually filled with God's word
read and study the word of the Lord
so you can show a real spiritual effect
being in tune with God's divine chord
Give thanks to God for this fruit
working in you moulding His own trait
be sure to stick close in God alone
following onto reach heaven's gate
(But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control" Galatians 5: 22-23)
Unorthodox, this water- bearer rules,
an Aquarian god moody yet calm in the
face of persistent winds…his pail of wine
gushing on mouths of February streams,
like an outpour into first night’s cycle
of unpredictable moves, reigning like
a prince-in-waiting, this heir
from brazen garnet stars:
Oh, his vision is light years ahead of time;
breaking from clasps of tradition,
his maverick streaks defy life's norms
and while he dives into a crest of independence,
fool he is for needing warmth and affection.
Yet,a blend of hermit's pride and gentleness
dares the element of air to brew a storm,
then romances the lusty sea of love in a flash...
pray tell, how can one define a mystery?

John 11:25 “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:”

Gentle, like the bird
Whose song is soft as the sigh,
Between hopes and dreams,
Lasting through silence,
Who believes in the promises,
Faded between pages,
Grace like the music stored up,
Beneath the words, verses,
Visions so solid they feel broken,
By the very words used to weave them,
Into portraits of serenity,
Feelings bleeding on dewdrop
Rhythms, hesitating to sing,
Like the wind’s refrain, as it adjusts,
To the song that is shared
By yesterday, the inkling of a memory
Flavored with light, soothing
As the clear night,
Flooded with starlight, glimmering,
On the edges of a thought,
Breathless and alone,
Composing the moments
In seas of heartfelt praises,
Making their way through the ache,
Beneath the trembling sayings,
Grief that agrees,
Gentle as the rain who clings,
To a silence, bending,
Each limb, each question
With a tenderness, expressing,
All the gentleness that is composed
In faith, hope and love,
All the light falling from above,
Whispering life into those of us,
Who know the One who died and rose,
The One who is light far brighter,
Than sun or moon – clearer than the stars,
Risking all for the chance to save,
Each of us – we owe Him all,
We owe Him all we are, all we will ever be,
We owe Him our lives, our dreams.
We owe Him the love that can see…
Past the beauty – into the love within,
The love that is beyond intimate,
The love that covers all sin,
With His blood, His innocence, His gift
To those who believe He is who He says He is.
He is the One who silences the clouds,
Wipes away the past and sets about preparing us,
For the love that is more abundant than our plans,
Love that is more wise than the seas,
Love that takes away every fear,
Love that silences every doubt,
Love that is the wonder of every heart,
Love that abides so we’re blessed more and more,
Love that we share – love beyond compare!
****
I ask, Lord, help me live my life with mercy,
and I promise to fill my days with acts of kindness;
empathy to all, forgiveness will drip from my lips,
I will be gracious, tender, for all my earthly days.
O, Lord, I will speak with honesty and truth,
with unvarnished, factual, authenticity and integrity;
yes, my words will sometimes speak of grim reality,
but always I will give only unadorned honest truths.
I swear that I will bind mercy and truth to my neck,
and wear as a necklace for all the days of my life;
it will be so beautiful that all who see me will know
that I am bless by the Lord in grace and gentleness.
