NEXT STEP LOVE

By -

 
When the road ahead is dark,
And fear assaults your weary heart;
Trust God's love is perfect enough,
Choose to make your next step love.
When the future you see is bleak at best,
And there's no one to offer encouragement;
Believe that God who sent His Son from above,
Will give you grace to make your next step love.
When time is standing still or may be running out,
And freedom is covered over by a shadow of doubt;
Faithfully follow God through good times and tough,
Hold on to the Lord Jesus Christ and make your next step love.
When it seems like your life is over and there's no where else to go,
And the escape that you have planned is the only seed you have sown;
Just know that God loves you more than you could ever hope to fathom,
When you need it He will give you courage to make your next step love.

I just wanted to let you know that I really liked this poem a lot.

How are you?  Talk to you soon,
Love you guys,

I got the idea for this poem in church Sunday morning studying Jesus' restoration
of his friend Peter, something I seem to have to relearn daily; how to walk in love.
Hope you'll enjoy! PS Click on the title to see those verses in the New King James.==========================================================

I THINK

Think on These Things One of the tragic casualties of our age has been that of the contemplative life--a life that thinks, a life thinks things through, and more particularly, thinks God’s thoughts after Him. A person sitting at his or her desk staring out the window would never be assumed to be working. No! Thinking is not equated with work. Yet, had Newton under his tree, or Archimedes in his bathtub, bought into that prejudice, some natural laws would still be up in the air or buried under an immovable rock. Pascal’s Pensees, or Thoughts, a work that has inspired millions, would have never been penned. What is even more destructive is the assumption that silence is inimical to life. The radio in the car, Muzak in the elevator, and the symphony entertaining callers "on hold" all add up as grave impediments to personal reflection. In effect, the mind is denied the privilege of living with itself even briefly and is crowded with outside impulses to cope ...
