Stronghold

“The Lord is my light and my salvation - whom shall I fear? 
The Lord is the stronghold of my life  of whom shall I be afraid?”
Psalms 27:1 (NIV)

I (easily)
Fast track to crazy
Fast track to anger
Fast track to panic
Fast track to 
Freaking 
Out


You (only)
Calm the 
Storm in 
Me

Thanks for being BIGGER than  
all the things:

Ummm

“But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back.  Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked.”
Luke 6:35

Love my enemies
Ummm
Is it enough to  
Not wish them dead 
anymore
Is it enough to 
Not plot against them 
anymore
Is it enough to 
Not think about them 
anymore

Is it enough?

Be an emissary 
Of goodness
Of kindness
Of resources
Of justice

I 
You 
We 
So desperately need

(and you can take that to the bank)

You are His idea

You are His idea
His perfectly perfect  idea

No matter what (happens)
No matter who (does what)
No matter when (things went south)
No matter how (bad it gets)
No matter where (things got off track)
He is for you
He is working to bring about 
His perfect idea of
His perfect plans for
You

Go ahead
Get on board
This is going someplace good

If You Have Been Wronged

If you have been wronged

If you have been broken

Find someone to tell it to
Say so

Say so
Find someone to comfort you
Say so
Say so

We were not built

The wise woman builds her house,
    but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.
Proverbs 14:1 (NIV)

We were not built for soulless spaces
We were built for 
Love
Peace
Joy
Hope
Beauty
Kindness
Care

“He knows our frame, He remembers we are but dust.”
Psalm 103:14

The Wound

 “With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness.
Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. 
My brothers and sisters, this should not be.”
James 3: 9-10 (NIV)

How did I end up in this surgical suite? 
When I never signed consent?

Your unintentional cut 
wounds 
and I bleed
Sorrow 
And 
Neglect

Unnoticed
