Eternal Praise
Matthew 10:31 “Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.”
While hearts long for the music of light,
breaking through the silence, frail – discerning
the meaning of grace far truer, grace upon grace
grace for the soul who lingers in despair,
grief poured over her spirit by the winds who dare
to remember the suffering...

Transform My Grumbling Heart
I sing of having gratitude,
But then, what is my attitude?
I murmur and complain
For not receiving rain;
Oh LORD, transform my grumbling heart!
I write of having thankfulness,
But then, I drown in anxiousness,
I lament, whine and mourn
And make my life forlorn;
Oh LORD, transform my grumbling heart!
I pen of having gratefulness,
But then, am filled...

Amen!
Seek – the love, the grace, the flow
Miracles sought by the heart, the soul
those who know He is the music
that plays light into the ones who know
life isn’t lived until it is lived for Him,
this Jesus who stirs my spirit to believe
He is love, grace, the unending flow ~
Living water – so I’ll thirst...

Pentecost Sunday - Linking Pin Sonnet and PrayerI Will Pour Out My Spirit
A Spence Linking Pin Sonnet — Devotional Voice
I will pour out My Spirit like a song,
Song of the heavens falling soft as rain.
Rain on dry bones to raise the lost and wrong,
Wrong turned to right by mercy in the flame.
Flame in the eyes of daughters who now dream,
Dreams of...

Morning BirthOften I gaze
In shadows I sought refuge
Healing waters from the valley of visions
Measured my portion
In weaves I sowed my seed
Through many days of distortion
We Tilled the sky
It bore us life
In his ways I hope to walk
The King of Kings is Yeshua
He rose again from the grave
Often I gaze
In gardens of plenty
Toward the east
Toward the Valley...

To My Children How I Talk To GodLord, nobody loves me like you do.
Only you know what I'm going through.
In You only I place my trust.
My mind's saying no, I tell it I must!
You Lord are the One who created me.
And it is You only that can set me free.
Please forgive me for my sins.
Grant me victory from within.
Tell me Lord what...

Prayer Is Simply Talking To God From Your HeartIt doesn't matter how I pray.
Don't need any fancy words to say.
God already knows what's in our heart.
All you and I need to do is start.
I tell Him how I really feel.
Or what part of my body that I need healed.
I ask forgiveness for things I've done wrong.
The Sins in my life that do not...

Unsaid PrayersShe rose at dawn
and laid the mat,
not from longing,
but from old habit.
She bowed, then sat,
hands curled in form,
but the heart lagged—
a breath behind.
Whispers once lush
now stumbled dry—
echoes of names
once called with fire.
The tasbih clinked
without intent,
rolling bead by bead
without a soul.
She used to plead,
soaking her sleeves,
but now she blinked
and called it done.
Ameen, she mouthed—
not out of...

I Like
I like poetry that is simple and direct
and yet is layered in depth where
you can descend as deep as you
want to go - poetry that says just
enough and no more and leaves
things unsaid, fertile ground
on which the imagination can grow.
I like poetry that finds
its roots in nature and ordinary things,
listens to what...

In the house of prayerevery gesture graceful
every glance
every smile
in reverence
echoes of words spoken
fall on hungry ears
chants elevate the soul
resonating at higher levels
an air of peace reigns
hovering in its presence
impregnating hearts that await
silence shouts its virtues
within the rolling waves
as tongues are gently stilled
the flame scintillating stands tall
portal to another kingdom...

Intrusive Thoughts
Intrusive thoughts just invaded my mind…
Yielded, I welcomed them, and so they came
They soon turned as a scene I must behold
Making meditation vibrantly real.
Oh, these intrusive thoughts have gripped my heart
Letting me ponder on my prayer life...
First, I faced Miss Skeptic with her arrogant stare
Scorning, she yelled at me: “You’re just wasting time!”
Minutes later, Mr....

In His Presence
There is a feeling, yet not a feeling
it’s more of a sense, sensitivity
to the touch, the joy, the love that flows
from the One who knows me
as I’ve never been known by anyone
He knows my heart, my soul, my spirit
the fears I’ve felt, the way I’ve met
with darkest days and sunlit praise
the gentling truths, the music...

The Author of Every PageDo to others as you seek,
Let kindness shine, make prayers unique.
Even when they mock and scorn,
Still bless them from dusk to dawn.
For God, in love so deep and true,
Held us close when we withdrew.
The Word made flesh drew near to stay,
Though we had wandered far away.
Upon that Cross, in the darkest night,
He interceded for us...
