How we live our lives really matters most,
For heaven’s gaze is fixed with deep concern.
Eternal issues rise - a sacred host -
And from our choices, timeless truths we learn.
It matters to all who stand dear and nearby,
Especially those who love and look to us.
We are charged to live godly, not just try,
With hearts full of obedience and trust.
In presence of all heaven, we constantly stand,
For He makes winds His messengers in flight,
And flames of fire His servants by command.
All heaven watches us, both day and night.
So let our light before all brilliantly shine,
That cosmos sees - and glorifies His Name.

"A weary world
Rejoices..for yonder
Breaks a new and
Glorious morn.."
Joy arises
With the sun..
Unexplained
Unpredictably..
Appearing as
The seeming
Persistent
Weariness...

God has sent down to earth
His gospel message of salvation
through the person of Jesus His son
what a wonderful happy occasion
For God saw man had fallen
into sinfulness so very great
only Jesus could rescue him
from this hell-bound awful state
Jesus's call was for repentance
for man to turn away from sin
and turn back to God's glorious way
receiving grace forever to win
Jesus now lives in heaven
interceding for those of His elect
up there, there's so great rejoicing
when sinners are no longer in debt
What a smile on Jesus's face
when His power is on display
bringing redemption to His saved
who repent to find God's way
(Having written this when considering when would Jesus smile when here on earth, this is my evidence that he would.)

spectrums widen
perspective seeks to see
our Lord at work
visions of violence plundering&strife
then
as now
seemingly without remedy
bring forth
questions upon question
as
wait&
watch
for our Lord's reply
to be
announced
plain to see
the inherent
vitality to apear
expectations awaiting fulfilment
requital&justice
in
ordinary outcomes
strength patience
to
surmount

The kinda guy a girl
dreams about
It's within those
dreams I found you
One who will take
away all doubt
The only one who
would be true
You make my stars
twinkle up above
Making the angels
sing their song
Showing me a
perfect kinda love
Letting me feel
it's not wrong
The winds bow to
you my king
The breezes are
envious of your flow
This what we share
no normal thing
Undying love all I
want to ever show
The moon's beams
smile upon us
For he kept me
warm at night
He never liked my
life as it was
His beams cupped
my face each night
Now the heavens
rejoice at our paring
They made every
planet align right
That day made our
souls so caring
Perfection, that we
will hold so tight

Children growing up
in outstretched valley arms:
Misty skies, I cry
this is a Haiku for the university of Hawaii at the mouth of the Manoa Valley where my daughter attended

My song of praise ascends:
"The Lord kills and brings to life;
he brings down to Sheol
and raises up . . . he lifts
the needy from the ash heap . . .
but the wicked shall be cut off
in darkness . . . against them
he will thunder in heaven . . .
There is none holy like the Lord . . .
my strength is exalted in him."
I will carry Samuel's coat to Shiloh,
stitches of love spell joy;
my heart dances with delight.
My son grows in stature,
his service is unto the Lord.
My tormentor's tongue is stilled,
she eats defeat day after day.
Her downcast eyes look
past my sons and daughters.
The Lord has opened my womb.
I Samuel, Chapter 2, RSV

My heart everyday, in the Lord rejoices too
Because without Him, I wouldn't last a day
God wants all the time, to walk with me
In the Lord rejoices too, my heart everyday
Every morning when the sun glows, I open my eyes
And send all my praises to God above high
The Lord wipes all my tears away, yes, I know
I open my eyes, every morning when the sun glows
It doesn't matter to God and that's so, what in the past I've done
Jesus forgives me when I repent and then my sins are just gone
God is my loving Dad, and yes that in my heart I already know
What in the past I've done, it doesn't matter to God and that's so!
