EVERLASTING NATURE
I have beautiful mornings with you.
As I sit quietly and watch,
Nature abounds.
For you and nature are one.
You created the beauty of nature
And it is everlasting and eternal.
It comes from you
And never ends.
My love for nature will never end.
One day I will enjoy it upon
The shores and hills and fields
Of a pristine Heaven and earth,
The way you meant it to be.
Everlasting nature.
Everlasting God.
Everlasting joy.

I LOVE YOUR WORD
I love your Word.
What can I say
About the fears
It does allay.
Your Word is sweet,
A joy to me.
I eat and drink
Your Word with glee!

THE STAYING HAND
A puff of breeze,
A gentle nudging
And the Holy Spirit has
Impressed the day upon me.
How I should think, feel
And behave in honor of Thee.
Or an answer to a question,
Or a new direction
Is what the gentle push gives,
A holy correction.
Like a staying hand upon my arm
And a sweet, soft voice saying, "Wait",
The Holy Spirit speaks to me.
Like a gentle nudging.
Like a puff of breeze.

God bless!
I heard a man on TV today,
Who spoke about suffering and trials to allay,
The feeling that struggles are really for nothing,
The often unfairness and our life's contorting.
He said if we could not determine a cause,
That we can be certain and give this applause,
That we will come out of it richer inside,
The strength that we get will show on the outside.
Some trials are too heavy, some burdens beyond,
What we think is fair, way too much put upon.
But there is not anything God cannot use,
To make our lives better, to help us improve.
That does not support that our pain is ordained,
That God must make sorrow for blessings to rain.
He does not need trouble and horror and woe.
He needs not the evil from that pit below.
We live in a world that is set on a course.
The fault is not ours so we feel no remorse.
We know we can't change Satan's evil world reign.
The Blood of Our Savior we use as a bane.
Don't think about quitting or turning on God.
To God be the glory and give him a nod.
He will make it right, this old world has to go,
And all of the pain and the suffering and woe.
So what can't be changed will be taken for you,
And made as a blessing, to help others too.
Just keep holding on and don't dare you forget,
That you will come out of it richer and blessed.

I choose to laugh in the midst of trouble.
In the midst of sorrow, I choose joy.
All things will always
Work together for good for me.
My Heavenly Father has promised it.
I can trust His word for
He is the One True God.

GOD AND SON AS ONE
How hard it must have been
For you to know, Lord,
That you were the Light Of The World
And To Walk Among Hatred And Blindness.
How hard it must have been
For you to live under
Being harassed and hated,
And to walk among
That determination to murder.
But you were determined
To enforce God's will.
Your Father, who gave you up
To a vicious world of dark haters,
Lived the horrific sacrifice through you
And with you.
Fill your life with reminders of Christian living.
Spend your money on merchandise that glorifies God Our Father and Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior.
Surround yourself with products that invite in The Holy Spirit, Our Comforter and Guide everyday.
As a self-taught designer, crafter, writer and artist, like Lydia in Acts 16, I design and make beautiful things.
My creative ability comes from God The Father and Jesus, The Only Savior of mankind, is the center of my life.
In order for God to bless us through our talents, skills and creativity, we have to put our work out there. That's why I share Christian products here at Draw Nigh To Hope.
I want Christians, who may not otherwise know about them, to have a chance to buy my products that lift up Christ-centered living.
Proverbs 22:29 states:
Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings;
he shall not stand before mean men.
Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings;
He will not stand before unknown men.
If you or anyone you know sells handmade products or designs merchandise that glorifies God, let me know so that I can take a look. I may do a feature here.
May sunshine brighten your day,
And all fears faith allay.
May you walk in joy and peace,
And enjoy God's sweet release.

FLYAWAY FEAR
I went to talk to the Lord today
And all was quiet,
Except for the birds
That sounded gay.
I thought of what I wanted to say
But thoughts did hide.
They did not quiet
My anxious way.
All was quiet as I sat alone.
No words they came
But faith rose up,
And fear was gone.
