In this moment
As you are
In your strengths and weaknesses,
Growth and imperfections,
You are known
You are loved
As you walk through
Heights of joy
And depths of despair
Abba sees
Abba rejoices with you
Abba grieves with you
When you struggle through
Sin, grief, loneliness, exhaustion, conflict,
Crippling fears and anxieties
Abba sees your courage
To walk through each day
To the best of your ability
He says
Well done, I’m proud of you
October 28, 2020
I may feel overwhelmed
But You are not overwhelmed.
October 28, 2020
I’ve never judged
Or withheld grace from anyone
Like that before
So
I wonder why I expect
So little grace
and so much judgment
From others
To me
October 27, 2020
I’m tired.
Do less, He said
Rest.
I love you.

I’m like
A really good
Hype man
Who wants to be
The lead singer
(Imagine Lil John
As Jay Sean in “Down”)
It’s a terrible idea
And
Everyone is happy with me
In my current place
Except for me
October 19, 2020
I know there’s a purpose for it
And I know it’s for my good
But
it
hurts
so
much.
October 18, 2020
I know
I’m looking for something
More than the world has to give
But how come
That understanding
Doesn’t
Make the pain any easier
October 10, 2020
I rejoice when you rejoice,
I mourn when you mourn.
I care deeply about you
And for you I have overcome the world
October 8, 2020
I’m sorry
That I didn’t receive your heart
With love and respect.
I wouldn’t change my no
But I wish I could have
Given you a response
To let you know
How brave you were
And
Send your heart
In a better place than when I received it
To the one who is for you.
