No one wants your worries...not even you. Anxiety comes at a high cost. Let Jesus lead you beside still waters. - Max Lucado
Considered by glinting waters
Peaceful rivers, babbling daughters
Murmuring light, shadows weeping
Waters still, but never sleeping
Gentle rainfall, softly praising
Promising joy so amazing
Serenity, nature’s reaping
Waters still, but never sleeping
Quiet hopes, a comforting song
From babbling streams who flow along
Whistling smiles where hearts are leaping
Waters still, but never sleeping
Running wild through woods with moss floors
Nurturing hearts who love outdoors
Where souls are meant for God’s keeping
Waters still, but never sleeping
Moving deep into the spirit
Washing away doubt – don’t fear it!
Cool liquid melts darkness’ creeping
Waters still, but never sleeping
The spark of life that once was treasured
So near the end that now is measured
The depth and breadth of a deep dark hole
Beneath the still waters of my soul
Old memories fade as time goes by
So what's the point of me asking why
Buried and forgotten's not my goal
Beneath the still waters of my soul
E-very still water runs deep,
U-nderneath lies the danger;
N-ever ever jump to swim
I-nto the bottom of the river.
C-alm oceans run deep, one can sense the abyss;
E-ven if the coral reef is nice, nobody can conquer the seas.
D-epth of the silent man
E-xposes his intelligence;
L-et his quietness talk
A-bout his mind's emergence.
C-almness means power,
R-ecollected man is composed;
U-sing his pure placidity,
Z-one of triumph can't be opposed.
B-e like a still water,
O-ctober twenty-fourth day;
R-unning deep down inside,
C-reating a righteous way.
E-ach one has wisdom,
L-etting his mind to keep;
I-ntelligent human makes
S-till waters run deep.
I don't have any more pics
To appetize your thirst
Wish I was a swimsuit model
Then I'd fill and fulfil your package
Maybe I should strip down a little
And let you in my cleavage
But then where is the mystery
But then, you'll have no fantasy
We will leave this thing up there
Hanging in the clouds
Another life, we may come down together as rain
And the grass would be greener
We will leave this flame somewhere
Hanging in our hearts
Another life, our secret desires may embrace into one
R_ rejoice when soul mirrors Jesus
E_ eternally in his presence reward
F_ find security in his love
L_ lean on his strong shoulder
E_ enjoy richness from his table
C_ count your every blessing
T_ tell them from your heart
I_ invest in time with devotion
O_ open your heart to richness
N_ newness in God and Son each day
S_ still waters run deep and reflect perfectly
Inspired by Sydney Peck's contest
Not an entry_
Ascended spirit, I need your help.
Share with me the knowledge spoken
through a voice actually
mine, though it speaks kinder
words of honesty
and clarity
that still my
lucid
mind.
